Mr.. Clough lived on . farm near

he has had a wide and varied ex-
perience, 80 wide and Of 30 unusual
a nature that his feats are being re-
counted in papers throughout the
country. The following account
comes from Seattle, the scene OF
his latest escapade:
Twenty years ago v. W. Clough,
now s., sold his farm near Rock
Island, ILL.,, and decided that he had
nothing to do but await the grim
reaper When he found himself
uncalled by death he decided to go
farther west and bought another
farm in Brewster, Wash. He made
! 1t the best farm in the surrounding
country and became justice OF the
peace. Then he decided once more
that it was time for him to get
ready to die. So he sold out again
and bought two automobiles, de-
Gliding to view the scenery In the
meantime. At last, tired Of globe
trotting, he became messenger
here and is still at it. He is known
as the 'speediest messenger boy in
town He uses one OF his autos

Carl Clough, formerly owner OF
the Clough electrical shop at 19061a
Third avenue, says that he has not
heard from his uncle for more than
eight years, but he is not surprised
to learn that he is accomplishing
things of note, In spite OF his ad-
vanced age.
Victor Clough has a mother more
than 80 years of age, Mrs. Sophia
Clough. and a brother, Henry, who
live in Davenport.

Some Reasons Why
the Farmer Should
Keep Thanksgiving

Just now, apart from our knowl-
edge Of food secure, perhaps some
OF us feel 1t necessary to fall back
upon the private reasons for thank
fulness Each one has some bit Of
personal well-being that can be brought
out and rubbed up and admired
just to keep our home circle
happy this Thanksgiving day. Each
one knows their own cause for con-
tent, even where it is SO common
place as not to be distinctly visible to
others. Especially this year we mustn't
lose sight Of the personal bright
spots on account OF their everyday
character.
A person was once visiting friend
whose home commanded beautiful
stretch of mountain scenery. It was,
in fact, magnificent view what
a wonderful outlook you have here"
he remarked to his host. - am sure
if I lived here I should spend most
of my time viewing. the landscape"

way" his host replied. II never con-
sidered it anything remarkable. I

No one enjoys more blessings and
treasures Of this kind than the man
or woman on the farm. He. or she,
If inclined to be Of complaining ma
ture, is apt to find fault that life on
the farm is so hard and composed so
largely of drudgery. Furthermore.
''far away fields are always green"
and the one on the farm imagines
that in the city all must be ease and
contentment These imaginings, how
ever, will not stand the test of
personal acquaintanceship with the
life that Is lived in the cities by hun.
dreds of thousands of people. Farm
work is hard, but there are no easy
berths In life.
The average person on the farm
lives better, enjoys better air to
breathe, better water to drink, better
food to eat, better conditions under
which to work, better health than the
man or woman in corresponding cir.

Thanksgiving Hymn
Well Liked at Birth
But Now Forgotten

The first presidential Thanksgiving
proclamation was that of President
Washington in 1850 on the occasion
Of the adoption Of the Constitution,
the day, curiously enough, being No
vember c6-the date of celebration of
1863. This latter was the real fore
runner Of our national Thanksgiving
day. Occasional and special times Of
thanksgiving had often been appoint
ed by different Presidents, but the year
1863, famous for its decisive national
victories marked also the beginning
Of the annual series of Thanksgiving
days.
The great victories Of Gettysburg
and Vicksburg were really the cause
Of Lincoln's proclamation, and his ex-
ample has been followed by all his
successors until the annual festival
has become one Of our national insti-
tutions.
The proclamation of 1868 was re-
markable as the first of SERIES, ex-
tending now over fifty years. 1t was
also noticeable because it was the oc-
casion of thanksgiving hymn by the
famous Reverend Doctor Nuhlenburg
of St. Luke's hospital, New York city.
He is well known as theGauthor of the
familiar hymn, II Would Not Live Al
way" and poet of no small repute.
Mr.. Lincoln's glowing words met his
eye and struck q responsive chord In
his heart. A noble Thanksgiving
hymn was the result, hymn which at
the time was often sung, but is now
comparatively forgotten. 1t was pub
lished with appropriate music, and
even yet is suitable for use on similar
occasions. 3
The hymn contains nine stanzas,
with chorus, and takes up in order the
various causes for thanksgiving men,
toned in. Mr.. Lincoln's proclamation.
The original title was "Give Thanks
All Ye People," the first verse being
as follows:
Give thanks, all " people. give thanks
to the Lord.
Alleluias OF freedom with Joyful accord;
Let the East and the West, North ana
South roll along,
Sea, mountain and prairie, one thanks
giving song.
Chorus
Give thanks, all ye people. give thanks to
@ the Lord,
ATeluias Of freedom. with joyful accord.
AS the hymn was suggested by Mr..
Lincoln's call upon the nation to give

Seeking Gods Aid.

Through the day we must often,
even amidst our busiest occupations,
renew our offering of all we do or de-
sign to Gods glory. AS much as pos
sible we should pause before we be-
gin any new occupation, and in Sc,
cret prayer, shot up like an arrow to
him. pray him to purify, our intention
in beginning it. and to accept what
we offer.-Bishop Wherefore.
