Yesterday was Thanksgiving day in the United States, made so by long customs and usages. It is a day set aside by the president of the United States and governors of the several states, whereby the people can cease their labor and give thanks to the All Wise Ruler of the universe, for the bountiful blessings that we have enjoyed, for good health, for happiness, for peace and prosperity, that this nation and race as a whole enjoy. The first Thanksgiven was made immediately upon the discovery of this western hemisphere by Columbus on the morning of October 14, 1492, when columbus' little vessels landed he and his crew their down and offered thanks for their safe arrival, so it was with the puritans and our pilgrim fathers, and so it has been from that time on. Therefore let us give thanks for the manifold blessings we have enjoyed the past year, and let us try and live the coming year to make the blessings still more bountiful, and to make the world better. EX-GOVERNOR DRAKE'S DEATH. The sad announcement of the sudden death of E.Governor Francis M. Drake came here last Friday as a great shock to his acquaintances and friends, as he was only sick three days. Thus death came and ended the day when he was the character which was noble and generous, a benefactor to many churches and educational institutions. He started out in life a poor boy and died worth nearly $4,000,000, after having Drake university and being in the womens' donations. His life history, which occurs in another part of this paper, reads more like a romance. He crossed the western American desert in the 40s in search of gold, and the daring engagements and narrow escapes he had made in the wilderness of the civil war summoned the boys to preserve the flag and save the union he at once organized a company and offered his life. Although wounded, yet he remained till the close of the war. In civil life he planned and built seven churches, and As governor he exhibited that same bravery and kindness with that high moral attainment that made him admired by all. He was a true friend of the colored race, a statesman, a brave soldier, a successful politician and successor. His character is an inspiration to the youth and worth imitating. 'Our sad consolation is mingled with thousands of others. BUXTON COAL CO.'S BENEFICENT Certainly the good colored people of Buxton ought to feel like giving double thanks on this Thanksgiving day for the large and generous gift that the Consolidation Coal company of Buxton will provide to the erection of a Y. M. C. A. building, which we have mentioned more fully in another part of this paper. Only a few weeks ago the Bystander published a complete history of Buxton in special sections of the book of a few of the frugal and prosperous homes of the miners at that time, paying a tribute to the wisdom and broad, liberal minded men who have made this mining town an ideal superintendent, and W. A. Wells. Surely we cannot praise these public sulted business men. While the Associated reporters say it is the first of its kind in the world for colored people, which is not true, there is one in the northern cities, yet this will be perhaps the largest and finest in the United States. We as a race cannot be proud of our colored community of Buxton. If only more colored communities had been allowed to play a moment for the race would soon be realized of a substantial nature. A UBEFUL GIFT. The past week Rev. A. A. Johnson, pastor of the Burns M. E. church, ordered some books of the Western Methodist Book Concern of Chicago with branch offices at Cincinnati and Kansas City. In the letter that accompanied the order he said that they were building a new church and that they had only a small membership he would like sixty days' credit on the order. Below is a copy of the letter sent to Rev. Johnson by that company: Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 19, 03 E. A. Johnson, Des Mohns, Iowa. Dear Shr. In reply to your favor of the 17th, we are sending you twelve copies Finest of the Wheat, twelve Bibles, and two Hymnals, Choir Edition. We have heartily considered the necessity of your case, and have concluded to donate the entire lot to your church. We hope they will be of great service to you, and help you materially in your work. The books have been sent by express, charges prepaid. Jennings & Pye. Per W. E. O'Hare. A NEW SERVICE WITHOUT PARALLEL. There is simple justification for the claim made by The Chicago Record-Herald that its readers enjoy every day in the week. Sundays included, a new service that is without parallel in range and completeness. In addition to the independent news facilities of the Record-Herald, that paper receives the complete news service of the New York Herald, the New York World and the Associated Press, and when it is considered that its news columns are supplemented by all the special features so popular with its thousands of readers, it will be seen that the Record-Herald holds a unique place among the great newspapers of the United States. In a special issue devoted to "Modern Alda to Printing," *th* Scientific American presents to its readers a fund of information about an industry which plays an important part in the II° of the people, but of which little is popularly known. The number describes in an entertaining way the advances that have been made in the printing art within recent years and strikingly shows the economic significance of the press. Of the more important articles in this issue may be mentioned an instructive interview with Theodore L De Vine, the master-printer of Americas; an account of the influence of mechanical typesetting as a labor-saver; a description of a modern newspaper press which prints 150,000 copies per hour; an outline of book binding which tells how books are sowed, case-made, and embossed. The number is dressed in an admirable colored cover. A RUSH TO OKLAHOMA. Oklahoma has lately come to the front as a possible field of mining development, and already there has been something like a stampede to the district around Lawton, from which promising reports of the discovery of gold have come. At the present time treatment facilities are leaking. The only ore that far shipped was sent to the smelters at Denver. The shipment comprised a carload, and the returns reported will give a great impetus to the excitement. Considering the fact that the material was not sorted, the returns, showing up in two figures, must be considered very good indeed. Assays made on samples carry very much higher, but after all it is the smelter returns that count. The result attained on the car of unsorted矿 will appeal more to. Informed mining men than all the picture assays could be reported. There is talk of installing a smelter in the district, and, judging by the character of the men becoming interested, it is not unlikely that other similar enterprises will be started in the near future.—American Mining News.

The spinster convention given under the auspices of the pulpit committee last Friday night was one of the best entertainments that has been given to the audience quite a while ago, the convention paper read and the plans discussed as to how the "apstars could secure husbands." But are arrival of Professor Makeover and his assistant and their remodelo-scope seemed to suit the ladies better than the men. The eyes of the audience ten of them were miraculously made over into prima donnas, beautiful young ladies, little girls and anything they preferred. Two of the maids were made into a man, as one was not sufficient for the woman, and at all on account of the extreme age, and the last lady not giving her exact age broke the machine. The entertainment was given for the organ fund and a very nice sum was realised at it. Mr. Will Picklain, of near Ft. Madson, came up Tuesday, returning Wednesday with his grandmother, Mrs. L. C.

Did it ever occur to you that the bunch of colored ribbons you wear in your nautilon-hole or pinned on your dress if you are a girl at commencement, or at a school flag? Ask a writer in St. Nicholas. It tells to what class or school or college you belong, or which of these, for the time, has your interest and sympathy. And for some similar reasons do nations wear their colours. At first, please, it was to tell one another apart; but after awaken the colours—the flag—came to represent the nation itself; and the way the people acted toward the nation's flag was supposed to show the way they felt toward the nation.

Mr. Simpson, what do you mean, allowing your authority (and mine delegated to you) to be disregarded? "Sir—" said Mr. Simpson, and then the admiral turned on him. "Hold your infernal tongue, sir," he roared, "And, sir, if you are the master of this vessel, as I suppose, I require you to put about for San Francisco. I am a British admiral, sir; my name is Sir Richard Dunn." "Oh, you're an admiral and you require!" said Blaker. "Well, I do admire! You look like an admiral; the waterfront is full of such. Take that, sir." "Well, sir, said Sir Richard Du I don't know how I got here, here I am, and I'm willing to wait the question of my being a British admiral as I can't prove it." "That's right," said Simpson. "I'll have you sane enough by and my man." The admiral nodded. "But I wish to have your permits to knock the head of a man can Knight for'ard. It was always custom, sir, to allow fights on both my own ship when I considered the necessary. But I always insisted my permission being asked. Have yours, sir?" Simpson looked the admiral up And the resurgent old Adam in Blaker struck the admiral with such unexpected force that Dunn went beets over head off the poop and landed on Simpson. The mate improved the opportunity by kicking him violently in the ribs. When he was tired, he spoke to the admiral again. Now, you lunatic, take the ball and go ball on the main. And if you open your mouth to say another word I'll murder you." And though he could not believe he was doing it, Sir Richard Dunn crawled sloft and did what he was told. He was stunned by his fall and the hammering he had received, but that was anything to the utter and complete change of air that he experienced. As he overhaulied the gear he wondered if he was an admiral at all. If he was, how came he on the maingallant-jard of a merchant ship? If he wasn't, why was he surprised at being there? He tried to recall the last day of his life as an admiral, and was dimly conscious of a late evening somewhere in San Francisco at which he had certainly taken his share of liquor. A vague sense of having been in a row oppressed him, but he could recall nothing till he had yanked out of his bunk by that truculent devil of a mate then patrolled his poop. "I—must be mad," said the admiral. "Now, let alone live there, you dead crawling cat," said Mr. Simpson, "or I'll come up and boot you off the yard. Do you hear me?" "Yes, sir," said the admiral quickly, and as he put a new mousing on the clip-hooks of the mzken-topmast-stay salt-tripping-line block, he murmured, "I suppose I never was an admiral after all. I don't seem to know what I am. And the hardest nut among the admirals was that I had escaped away a year with the sleeve of his helisted to the sacred Commination Service with all its blessings, intoned in a down-east twang by the eminent Mr. Simpson. "He's crazy," said Simpson to the second greaser. "She's say's an admiral. I've had the Apostle Peter on board, and a cook who said he was St. Paul, but this is the first time I've run against an admiral before the marmor." "Does he look like it, sir?" asked Wizards, laughing. "He looks the toughest case you ever set eyes on," said Simpson. "But you'd have smiled to see the way the old man slugged him off the oppo. And yet there's something about him I don't tumble to. I guess that's where his madness lies. Guess I'll cure him or kill him by the time we get off Sandy Hook. Now, then, you admiral, come down here and start a fight. He's quick, or I'll know the reason why." And the Knight Commander of the Bath came down as he was bid, and having cast a perplexed eye over Simpson and Wiggins, who sniggered at him with amused and savage contempt, he went forward in a hurry. "This is a nightmare," he said; "I'm dreaming. Damme, perhaps I'm dead!" When he had overhauled the gear at the fore—and being a real seaman, he did it well—Wiggins called him the captain. He himself among his new mates. But now they were all aware that he believed he was an admiral, and that he spoken to Simpson in a way that no man had ever done. That was so A Knight hove a pannikin of tea, much to his credit, but since he was a slave, he had never feemed him accordingly and when they were at breakfast the trouble began. "Say, are you an admiral?" asked board president, Emmett and Wiggin. And the admiral did not answer. He looked at Knight with a gloomy, introspective eye. "Mind your own business," he said, when the question was repeated. And Knight lowered a pamphlet of text to the camera. The compliments was received very quietly, and the admiral rose and went on deck. "Take water at once," said Knight: "he also got the puck of a mouse." But the admiral went off and interrupted Mr. Simpson. "How I have the honor of speaking to you present?" he said and Simpson looked little but said he might have been hurt. "Well, sir, said Sir Richard Dunn, "I don't know how I got here, but here I am, and I'm willing to waive the question of my being a British admiral, as I can't prove it." "That's right, said Simpson. "Ah, I'll have you sane enough by and-by, my man." The admiral nodded. "I wish to have your permission to knock the head of a man called Knight for 'ard. It was always my custom, sir, to allow fights on board my own ship when I considered them necessary. But I always insisted on my permission being asked. Have I yours, sir?" Simpson looked the admiral up and down. "Your ship, eh? You're still crazy, I'm afraid. But Knight can kill you, my man." "I'm willing to let him try, sir, said the admiral. "Hove a pannkin of tea over me just now, and I think a thrashing would do him good "I mean to have Simpson's job." and conduce to the peace and order of the foe'sle." "Oh, you think so," said Simpson. "Very well, you have my permission to introduce peace there." "I thank you, sir," said the admiral. He touched his hat and went forward. He put his head inside the focel and addressed Knight: "Come outside, you bully, and me knock your head off. Mr. Simpson has been kind enough to overlook the breach of discipline involved." And Knight, nothing loth, came out on deck, while Simpson and Wiggins stood a little way off to enjoy the battle. "I like to back the admiral," said Wiggins. "I'll have a level five dollars on Knight," said Simpson, who remembered that he had, on one occasion, found Knight extremely difficult to reduce to pulp. And in five minutes the second mate was richer by five dollars, as his mates carried Knight into the focle. "I don't know when I enjoyed myself more," said Simpson, with a sigh —"even if I do lose money on it. While it lasted it was real good. Did you see that cowboy be full of upper class and the right-handed counter that finished it was just super. But I'll hev to speak to the victor, so I will." And he addressed the admiral in suitable language. "Don't you think, because you've licked him, that you can fly any flag when I'm croun. You done it neat and complete, and I overlook it, but half a look and the fust letter of a word of soss and I'll massacre you myself. Do you savvy?" And the admiral said: "Yes, sir." He touched his cap and went forward to the foc'sle to enter into his kingdom. For Knight had been "topside joss" there for three voyages, being the only man who had ever succeeded in getting even one pay-day out of the California. The principle of the rule was to take things so hot for her crew that they skipped out at New York instead of returning to San Francisco, and the fresh crew shipped in New York did the same when they got incide the Golden Gate. "I understand," said the admiral, as he stood in the middle of the foc'sle, "that the gentleman I've just had the pleasure of knocking into the middle of the ocean. Now I want it thoroughly understood in future that if any bullying is to be done, I'm going to do it." All the once obedient slaves of the deposed Knight hastened to make their peace with the new power. They fairly crawled to the admiral. "You hn lxnight," said one. "I knew it jett as soon as you opened yer mouth," said another. "The tone of yer voice argued you could." my belief that he could knock the stunn' out o' Mr. Simpson" said the third. "Twould be the best kind of fun," said another admirer of the powers that be, "for Blaker would kick Simpson in here and give the admiral his job right off. He's got religion, has Blaker, but he was an old packet rat himself, and real 'bucko' he was, and believes in the best men bein' aft." And through the admiral said nothing to this, he remembered it and took occasion to inquire into its truth. He found that what he knew of the sea and its customs was by no means perfect. He learnt something every day, and not least, he proved by means a bad sort of man when he had once met his match. "Is it true?" the ask of admiral, "what they say about Captain Blaker giving any one the mate's job if he can thrash him!" The custom in the Western ocean" said Knight, "and Blaker was brought up there. He's a real sport, for all his blades" sort of religion. Yes, I'll bet it's true." He farmed to the admiral suddenly. "Say, you wasn't thinks' of takin' Simpson on. was you?" "If what you're say's true, I was, said the admiral. "It don't suit us being here." "Say now, partner," put in Knight, "at this gun about your being an admirer." What put it into your head? And Sir Richard Dunn laughed. As he began to feel his feet and find that he was as good a man in new surroundings as in the old ones, he recovered his courage and his command of it. "After all, this will be the deuce of a joke when it's over." he thought, "and I don't see why I shouldn't get a discharge out of her as mate. Talk about advertisement!" He knew how much it meant. "Look here, Knight," he said aloud, "I am an admiral. I can't prove it, but my ship was the Triumphant. I don't want to force it down your throat, but if you'd say you believe it, I should be obliged to you." Ringlet put out our umbrella," he said, "for I believe that there's nuthin' about you different from us; a way of talk, and a sock in the eye that nith' familiar in no foe'sc as I ever sailed in. And if you was lyn', how come you to life so ready, so drunken when Simpson hauled you out 'o yer bunk? No, I believe you're speaking the trewth." And Sir Richard Dunn, K. C. B, shook hands with Charles Knight, A. B. "I won't forget this," he said huskily. He felt like Malomet with his first discipline. "And now, in confidence," the admiral, "tell you I mean to have Simpson's job by the time we're off the Horz. "Good for you," cried Knight. "Oh, he kicked me some ass!" the elm the time him old. And here's a tip for you. If you get him down, keep him down. Don't forget he kicked you too." "I don't forget," said Sir Richard — "I don't forget, by any means." (To be continued.) MURPHY WAS TOO STRENUOUS What, Happened When Famous Lee Award, Went Through Rifftree When Francis Murphy, the temperance advocate, was in New York recently, he told this story on himself: "Some time after I had got fairly started in my work, I found myself, at the request of its pastors, delivering a lecture against the evils of intemperance in a village of western New York. A platform had been erected in a camp meeting grove, and from it I spoke. A audience was large and friendly, and I got considerably wrought up. At last I started in on my persecution 'Behold', I said, the serpent of drink, and I pointed up at the boughs of a tree overhanging the platform. "See his bloodshot eyes. He is preparing to spring down upon a victim. Now he has dropped to the platform. He tries to strike, but I will prevent him I will crush him at one blow!" I with that I raised my foot, let it drop down. Then I stalled it I had fallen through a large hole in the platform, and only my head and shoulders were visible to the astounded congregation. "But the when 'most unkindest cut of all came when I had regained my feet. " "Say, mister," piped up a small boy in the rear, 'did ye kill him' "And the people who had kindly be trained from merriment when I plunged downward, laughed so long and heartily that I was unable to continue my address for fully five mln utes." -New York Times. Fainted for the Drink. "I see that the second physicians from the hospital are again on the move," said a young man who is employed in the offices of the Franklin sugar refinery. "Two years ago they paid me a visit and insisted upon vaccinating all the workmen. We employ a lot of Poles, and one of them fainted from sheer fright, not understanding what it was all about. A drink of whisky was poured down his throat and he was soon revived. The next follow also fainted and was given the same treatment. When a third and a fourth were under the operation the suspicions of the doctors, who were none too wise, were aroused. They found that the Poles were hipped off by the first victim and each was merely playing "possum with the idea of getting a drink."—Philadelphia Record. Ostend's Dependence on Gambling. Some statistics have been issued which show how Ostend has been shaken to its financial foundations by the effects of the new gambling law closing the Kursaal. Last year the Kursaal was paid to the municipality £2,000 in rent, £20,000 as a tax on the so-called "club," and £3,600 as a personal tax at £4 per head on the 9,000 visitors who joined the Kursaal. With this large number the municipal receipt last year was £220,000. This year not a penny has been forthcoming from the sources named and the civic resources are crippled to a corresponding degree. This, however, does not exhaust the mischief. The falling-off in visitors represents £480 a day in the larger hotels, among which the season's losses are estimated at £240,000—London Telegraph.

After seeing a number of physicians and specialists and getting no relief I was very much discouraged and felt that I would die of general colical collapse. My condition was so bad I never imagined food would be used on the advice of a friend I tried Grape-Nuts. The first package brought me so much relief that I quit the medicines and used Grape-Nuts steadily three times a day.

DRAKE'S ILLNESS FATAL He Died at Centerville After an Illness Lasting But Two Days. CAREER WAS A NOTABLE ONE Iowa's Ex-Governor Was Distinguished Both as a Citizen and as a Soldier—His Gifts to the University Which Bears His Name. Centerville, Nov. 21.—After an illness of but two days, General Francis Marion Drake, ex-governor of Iowa, lied at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Henry Goss, at 11:15 o'clock yesterday morning. He was up town on Tuesday arranging for a gift of $25,000 to Drake university. The following day he became seriously ill. It was feared Thursday night that the combined attack of diabetes and his old army wound would prove too much for General Drake, and it did, though so made a brave struggle to win his fight with death. The iron will of the general had carried him through so many battles in business life and the sick room, that he never gave up the struggle lil near the end, and was conscious within half an hour of death. When General Drake realized his serious condition he was solicitous that his children should all be with him. As the family has been an extremely devoted one, all his children but two were at his bedside, but his remaining son and daughter were unable to reach here in time. While his father was breathing his last, John A. Drake was busily engaged in Chicago procuring a special train to bring him to the bedside, but before he started the general had died, and the special was abandoned. The funeral will be held Monday at 8:30 at the Central Church of Christ in Centerville. This church was dedicated last April, when the Drake family was together for the last time, they furnishing the $40,000 required to FRANCIS MARION DRAKE FRANCIS MARION DRAKE. build it. The body will lie in state at the church on Monday till noon; Rev F. L. Moffet and St. John's Commandery, Knights Templar, will have charge of the funeral. Interment will be at the side of his wife here. General Drake leaves a will, dating back a few years, with several codicils attached, in which it is thought Drake university is remembered, though the supposition is that he aimed to do largely what he intended for the school while he was living. General Francis Marlon Drake was born in Rushville, Ill., December 30, 1830; came to Iowa at seven years, and nad lived in and near Centerville and Cedar Rapids, where he crossed the plains twice to Sacramento Cal., with ox train and drove of cattle during the gold excitement. While crossing Shell Creek, Neb., he defeated 300 Pawnee Indians and in 1864 was a passenger on the Yankee Doodle in the Pacific, having a narrow escape. When the war began he enlisted and was commissioned captain of a company which he organized into Col. Edwards' Independent Iowa regiment, was elected major and served in critical times in Missouri. He was made lieutenant colonel of the Third-ixth Iowa in 1862 and his name was con- "But they told me you had money" "And they bounced me into thinking you were rich?" "Well, what's to be done about it?" "Let's love in love just for spite." "Hello!" said the neighborly bore, "what are you builfing the new chicken house for?" "Why?" replied Nettles, "for a flock of ping camels, of course. You didn't suppose I'd put chickens in it, did you?" Mr. Jones—See here! This horse you sold me unts up on the sidewalk ever since I was a treasurer—"Well," I didn't expect fifty-dollar horse to run up a telegraph pole or climb a tree, did you? "How did you like Dr. Fourthly last Sunday morning?" asked Mrs. Oldcaste; "don't you think he indulged rather freely in mixed metaphor?" "Goodness! I didn't notice. Did he have it right there in the pulp? This will be a terrible blow to Josiah. He thinks so much of the doctor."

One of his best showings as commandant was at the defense of Elkin's Ford with 500 men against 3,000 of Marinaduke's civiliation. He also distinguished himself at the bloody battle of Marks' Mills, where he was wounded in the thigh. He had served as commander of a brigade, and later was made brigadier general of U. S. volunteers. After the war he practiced law six years, and then went into coal land deals and railroad, enterprises He projected and built five lines of railroad, was owner of a bank in Centerville, also banks in other towns. General Drake was elected governor of Iowa in 1895, serving one term, declined a renomination, returning to banking and reality business in Centerville. Drake university at Des Moines was founded by Drake and others in 1883 and so has made heavy donations to this institution, also erected several buildings. He had been a liberal gives to church and temperan-e work. WHAT HE DID FOR DRAKE Had Said He Would Make the College One of Me Heirs. Des Moines, Nov. 21. Although General Drake had never made a statement as to what he expected to do for the university, in the event of his death, he had mentioned to several parties that the school which he had founded would not be forgotten. He said on one occasion, that the university would fare as one of his own children in his will, and it is the general expectation that the institution will be liberally remembered. He also emphasized the university during his life, the total of his benefactions amounting to $183,067.47. The gifts it gave back to 1883, when General Drake made his first donation of $20,000, as a general endowment for the college. Since that time, General Drake has been largely instrumental in adding with substantial contributions in the providing of his improvements and additional needs necessary to the growth of the institution bearing his name. Governor Cummins has issued a proclamation announcing the death of General Drake, ordering the flag on the capitol to be placed at half mast and closing the state house on the day of the funeral. General Drake married Mary Jane Lord in 1865, who died in 1883. They had two sons and four daughters. General Drake resided for a short time in Chicago, but always claimed Centerville as his home. He practically built the Christian church in that city and was a large contributor for the on in a pleasing man... public library, General Drake has been president of the board of trustees of Drake university since its organization. THE GEOGRAPHICAL POSITION Of Cape Breton Coal Fields Gives Them Great Advantage. The United States government in its consular reports on the coal of our continuing states is Vol. XXI that the total thickness of the coal veins in Cape Breton averages from 25 to 60 feet, and that its workable area is estimated to contain 7,000,000,000 tons. The reports point out that the geographical position of the Cape Breton coal fields relative to foreign markets, puts Cape Breton in a position that will make her an active competitor in the markets of the world. It further states that the proximity of the Cape Breton deposits to the sea board; and the cheap water transportation gives the markets of Cape Breton an advantage over the deposits of the United States. Great deposits like those of Cape Breton where concentrated in a small area, makes such acreage very valuable. Genius darts, flutters and tires, but perseverance wears and wins.

I wish such women know the value of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. It is a remarkable medicine, different in action from any I ever knew and thoroughly reliable. "I have seen cases where women doctored for years without permanent benefit, who were cured in less than three months after taking your Vegetable Compound, while others who were chronie and incurable came out cured, happy, and in perfect health after a thorough treatment with this medicine. I have never used it myself without gaining great benefit. A few doses restores my strength and appetite, and tones up the entire system.

Many jewels require an occasional sleep so to speak, in order to retain their brilliance. Diamonds, rubies and sapphires are among the number. They should be put away in total darkness every now and then. The usual velvet or satin-lined cases are the correct receptacles. It is best to wrap gems in jewelers' tissue paper, then pack in wool and lay in airtight compartments. A number of stones are seriously affected by fumes from furnaces, sewer gas, moisture and sea air. TAKEN FROM LIFE: BEFORE AND AFTER TREATMENT. ORIGINAL OZONIZED OX MARROW (Copyrighted.)
