nese have their feast days, which they
observe in their own peculiar manner.
Each religion has its own. but there
is one Thanksgiving day for all, when
all, of whatever faith, can, in their
own way, call on God and praise Je-
sus or Mohammed or Buddha.
Nov. 1S, 1877, was our first national
Thanksgiving day. ordained by the act
Of the Continental congress and pro-
claimed by George Washington. The
day was set apart, in the words OF the
resolution, to express gratitude that
God had been pleased to ''smile on US In
the prosecution of a Just and necessary
war for the defense and establishment
Of our unalienable rights and liberty"
The constitution had just been adopt
ed, and before the act setting aside this
day of thanksgiving had been finally
passed there had been not little dis
cussion in congress about the propriety
of the presidents asking people to give
thanks for a constitution for which
some OF them were not thankful
1t was later that the last Thursday
In November came to be the day
chosen, when no marked event indi-
Gated another day, and the thanks of
the nation. united under the constitu-
ton, were expressed on Nov. %, 1889.
Since that day the custom has never
been omitted entirely, although until
the civil war 1t was only occasionally
observed except in New England
1t was our civil war which brought
the people to a new sense of national
oneness, and since 1868 the president
of the United States has annually is
sued a proclamation Of thanksgiving.
But what president or prophet or
sage In 1851 could have dreamed that
half a century later the lines of such
a proclamation would go out into all
the world?

Poem of Gratitude
of Long Ago

lord. thou hast given me a
l. cell
Wherein to dwell.
A little house whose humble
roof
Is weather proof.
Under the spares of which | lie
Both soft and drie,
Where thou, mU chamber for
to ward.
Hast set a guard
Of harmless thoughts to watch
and keep
Ne while | sleep.
Low is mu porch. as is mu
fate.
Both void of state,
And yet the threshold of mu
doore
Is worne By the poore.
Who thither come and freely
get
Good words OF meat.

Legacy to Egypt.

FOrty-fve years ago Empress Eu
genie. the emperor of Austria and a
host of other distinguished persons
were entertained with memorable
magni6cence by lsmail, viceroy of
Egypt. The occasion was the open
ing of the Suez canal. If the cere.
mony had taken place two days later
it would have synchronized with the
birthday anniversary of Ferdinand de
Lesseps, the originator and leader OF
the enterprise. In 1898 First Consul
Napoleon hoped to make an island OF
Africa by cutting a canal across the
lsthmus of Suez, but gave up the idea
in the belief that difference OF some
80 feet existed between the level OF
the Red sea and that of the Mediter-
ranean. The concession granted to
DE Lesseps' company will expire in
1893. Egypt will then come in for a
magnificent windfall.-London Chron-
icIe.

For the first time in the history OF

sleighing was possible on the streets
of the city. This proved to be novel
treat TO The few citizens who were so
fortunate as to possess the vehicle
prescribed for the occasion. The oc.
casional jingle Of bells heralded those
who were INDUCING in the pastime.
Owing to the fact that sleighs are
a scarce article In this part Of the
country. some residents made use OF
their childrens gifts from Santa Claus
and hitched horses to them. Other
things which resembled sleighs were
utilized in the pleasure. and even a
few crude affairs were seen upon the
highways.
Several old.time sleighs we're patch.

the case to the grand jury. but that

the, testimony. and the grand jury OF
its own accord, returned the indict
ments against the Hugo man
1t is alleged that Hunter some time
in July this year, gave Bohannan the
money to buy four quarts of whiskey
and supply OF beer; that he paid
Bohannon's expenses for the trip from

formal demand on Secretary Joe Nor
ris of the state election board for a
certificate of the election Of HOWARD
NJ. Drake Of Dombey, as republican
representative in the legislature from
the fotorial district of Beaver and

The status OF the contest for repre-.

placed in doubt owing to the trouble

from two precincts in Beaver county
