On the tenth of December will occur the centenary anniversary of Mr. Garrison, that devoted and great liberator and reformer. He was the greatest apostle of human liberty that America has yet produced—brilliant, able, polish and refined—as strong in his principles as a lion, and as unyielding as the mountain—the greatest and most effectual anti-slavery agitator that the world has ever seen. Speaking of slavery he said "I am in earnest, I will not equivocate, I will not excuse, I will not retreat a single inch and I will be heard." He had a message, the world listened, and heard him proclaim freedom to the slave. He organized the first anti-slavery society in the United States. The race, and especially all the churches should assemble and honor this day and eulogize his name. Next week we will mention more about him. THANKSGIVING On next Thursday the American people are called upon to cease their labor and give thanks to our Supreme Maker for his beneficial blessing that we people have been made to enjoy the past year. The manifold blessings we have thus received should inspire us to seek to make our neighboring families, races and countrymen happy. While blood-shed, butchering, killing, rioting, striking and anarchy should stop and the loving hand of charity, love, sympathy, and help should go out with our prayers to the suffering Jews and all other humanity. Than on Thanksgiving day before we wade into the turkey and cranberries and pumpkin pies, let our prayers and blessings go out to suffering humanity all over our globe. OSKALOOSA TIDINGS. B. F.

SPLENIDD WORK OF RAILROAD MEN IN AN EMERGENCY. Enormous Amount of Traffic Success fully handled on Single Track in Face of Heavy Handicap-Shows Quality of American Train Crews. The well-known writer on railroad subjects, Mr. Frank H. Spearman, in his book entitled, "The Strategy of Great Railroads," describes the sur prise of the general manager of one of the eastern trunk lines, on a hunt trip in the north woods, who sud denly found himself on the right of way of a splendid, well-built railway line, apparently of a construction and equipment similar to the New York Central train company, which thundered in quick succession heavy trains of iron ore, splendid passenger equipment and general freight servier of surprising proportions. This was the Peninsula division of the Chicago & North-Western Rail way, which covers the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, including the hard wood district and Lake Superior iron and copper region, with a surprisingly efficient net work of lines that connect the mines in the eastern parts, and with through rail service to and from the outer world. Along this busy ore-carrying line a splendid exposition of the loyalty, in intelligence and general good tears work that can be expected of the aver railroad man and the efficiency of the rules laid down for his guidance in an emergency, was given a few days ahead to seek greatly the attention and other officials that the story has finally crept into public print, and it is well worth repetition in these columns. It was all occasioned by a very heavy sleet storm that fell in the Upper Peninsula a few days ago, which threw down practically every telephone line in the region for hours, and left 464 miles of the road untraveled without tele-graphic service for no less than forty-eight hours. The ore movement has been especially heavy this year, more lake Superior ore being transported on the Great Lakes than ever before in the history of the iron industry, and in this emergency every mine would have to shut down on account of the shortage of direct unless the road was kept open in suite of the storm. There was nothing that could be done by the chief train dispatcher; both he and the division superintendent were temporarily out of the game, and the man behind the gun" must make good, or the case was a hopeless one. And make good he did, in true blue, loyal style, with that splendid initiative that makes the average train driver in our army adhere in our army. American troops. There was no way in which to get orders for train movements, no means by which division headquarters could be kept advised of where their trains were, and to the onlooker, no means existed by which the train crew could keep track of them, so that the officers of the opposite direction was an emergency of the gravest character, and was met with a splendid exhibition of good judgment and intelligent grasp of the science of railroad operation that is perhaps without an equal. They managed, on a single track line, without telegraph lines, for two whole days and nights, to keep track of the trains, and to district supplied with equipment and moved all trains practically on time. 4,971 cars were moved over the division Friday and Saturday, Oct. 20 and 21, and one hundred and twenty-five freight trains and no less than thirty-four passenger trains, were taken care of upon the division, all handled on time on a single track, in front, mishap, or delay and without the help of a train dispatcher. Can anyone beat that record of loyalty to employers, hard work and intelligent grasp of conditions? Any man who has ever handled the task of a long way division will appreciate how very much is involved in the work these trainees did, hurrying to and f over steel covered cars, keeping cool, and ready to meet every emergency by application of the operating rules provided for their guidance.

"Near-by" eggs 55 cents a dozen! Are any of your hens beginning to say "Cutter-caw-caw!" Mrs. Russell Sage, in the North American Review article, is particularly down on "bridge." People who are planning to swear off Jan. 1 will find it a good plan to practice just a little now.

BIG FIRE SWEEPS DUBUQUE LEVEES THE FLAMES SPREAD RAPIDLY Are Driven by a Fierce Southwest Wind—Fireman Fight Desperately to Save Lumber Yards and Boats Moored at the Wharves. Dubuque, Nov. 24.—Fire swept the levee district of Dubuque last night, wrecking five business concerns with an estimated loss of $300, 100. The fire broke out in the warehouse of the diamond Joe Boat company shortly before 10 and when the fire department reached the scene the building was a mass of flames. A strong south wind fanned the flames and they spread with alarming rapidity. Coleman's saloon, one of the best known along the river, was the next burned to the ground. In turn came the Erndorf Buggy company with its big supply. It shared the fate of the other two and was totally destroyed by propulsive Pearl Bull factory was the last building the block and it fell about one hour after the fire started. The Cooper Buggy company paint shed and warehouse standing in the rear of the block is a heap of ruins. The firemen fought desperately to save the jumber yards. The loss is: Diamond Jo company, $50,000. Coleman company, $70,000. Erndorf焊, $75,000. Iroquois Button factory, $70,000. Co, $20,000. Adjacent property, $2,000. It required heroic efforts to save the Diamond Jo boats in the harbor. At 2 a. m. the fire was under control. Despondent, She Jumps into Well. Polk City, Nov. 21—Mrs. Floy Anderson, aged 45 years, daughter of N. R. Kuntz, a former prominent citizen here, committed suicide yesterday by jumping into an old well in the yard at her home. Her remains were soon taken out and Coroner Beck was called. Mrs. Anderson was despondent because of the death of her husband and father. She was childless and alone, though possessed of enough money to give comfortably. Her brothers believe that she has been slowly losing her mind for months and that the suicide occurred when she was insane. OLD SOLDIERS MAY BE GIVEN PREFERENCE Des Moines, Nov. 22.—With Justices Bishop and Weaver dissenting, the Iowa supreme court yesterday held the Iowa Soldiers' preference law constitutional, reversing Judge Obed Caswell in the case of C. H. Shaw, appellant, vs. the City Council of Marshalltown. Chief Justice Sherwin wrote the opinion upholding the law and Justice Bishop wrote the dissenting opinion, Justice Weaver occurring. The law has probably been one of the most noted before the Iowa jurists in recent years. Ever since the adoption of the law by the last general assembly, it has been one of the chief matters of discussion among public men, especially those who have subordinate positions to fill by appointment. The gist of the law is that appointive public offices shall be given to veterans of the civil war in preference to other candidates, and that the law will affect practically every state office and the appointee city, town, county and township positions throughout Iowa. The test case was brought by the town council of Marshallown, Mr. Shaw is an old veteran and pressed its claim for the place on the basis of the newly enacted law, but the law to ignore him and to appoint a Durby was not an old soldier. Mr. Shaw appealed to the district court and Judge Obed Cassell ruled adversely to him, holding the law unconstitutional as class legislation. With the support of the G. A. R. Dr. Shaw appealed the action to the owes supreme court, where he was appointed for months. One of the most noted cases in which the decision of the 'supreme court will immediately be effective at the ouster proceedings against Tom Graham, night watchman at the capitol. Custodian McCurdy has Graham's discharge now under consideration. Graham refusing to resign has been given by the supreme court upholding the validity of the soldier's preference law, Graham is more than likely to retain his position. SLAVE OF A PEDDLER SAYS HE WAS STOLEN Clear Lake, Nov. 21. —Kidnapped from home, gagged and bound and hidden in barns and holes until search for him ended, a six year old boy has told a starling tale to Mrs. Almede Hedges of this city. He lad told the man that three or four children was outed from his home at Cedar Falls by an Italian peddler, who coaxed him from his mother's yard with peanuts. When out of sight he says the Italian gagged him and carried him away. After several months, during which the lived in of the out way places, the peddler ended his journey at Mason City. He claims that the peddler makes him follow the wagon on foot selling pins, that he was beaten, abused, half starved and his life threatened. The youngster cannot remember his real name, as he was but three years old. Authorities at Cedar Falls have Authorities at Cedar Falls have been notified. SEGRETARY SHAW TO REMAIN IN CABINET Washington, Nov. 21.—Secretary Shaw will remain in the cabinet till congress adjourns and perhaps longer. This information is conveyed in a statement given out from the White house last evening. The anouncement came as a general surprise, as it was represented that Secretary Shaw would retire next February, when his four years in the cabinet were at an end. Even to Secretary Shaw himself, the news was unexpected, as he and Mrs. Shaw had given up their residence here, and had made all their calculations for joining their daughters in Paris next February. Yesterday afternoon the president sent for Secretary Shaw and told him in substance that he had seen various statements as to his quitting the cabinet in February. The president then told Mr. Shaw that he could not be held in the office man in mind for the place and that he must stay on. Mr. Shaw answered that he would remain until congress adjourned. The president said that he wanted him to remain "as long as that and longed if possible. Shape: That the secretary is to stay until congress ends its session, and then it will be definitely settled when he is to go. The president was given Mr. Shaw to understand that he would be glad to have him stay through his administration, but it seems hardly any that Mr. Shaw will care to do. Last February the president asked Mr. Shaw to stay in the cabinet and the secretary said he would complete his four years. It is official said Mr. Shaw was the president what was in the president's mind, made no effort to bring influence to remain and expected to leave the cabinet in February, up to the time he weno to the White house yesterday. There is no doubt the added influence by the press of Secretary Shaw in the recent crisis. CONSUMPTIVES ARE SHUT OUT Des Moines, Nov. 21.—Secretary Kennedy of the state board of health, Dr. A. M. Linn, chairman of the committee of the board in charge of the relations of the schools to the board with respect to tuberculosis, and Dr. R. E. Coniff of Sioux City, yesterday reached an understanding with respect to the action taken by the board of health recently relative to the presence in the school rooms of Iowa of teachers and pupils suffering from consumption. It was decided that the board actually had taken the action referred to and that Dr. Linn and Dr. Kennedy were appointed a committee to draft the form of rule which will be promulgated pursuant to the action of the board. It was Secretary Kennedy's impression that the board did not act, and had named a committee to draft a rule to be considered at the next meeting. A majority of the board, however, appears to be under the imminent body to take definite action as described. Therefore Dr. Linn and Dr. Kennedy will immediately promulgate notice of the adoption of an amendment to rule 2 of the state board of health, which will provide in terms that teachers and children affected with tuberculosis shall not be permitted to attend school in the schools of Iowa. This rule now is in effect according to the decision reached yesterday. It is up to the boards of directors of the school districts of the state to require such showing as will satisfy them and the health officers that teachers and pupils having consumption are actively excluded from the school. It is supposed that a physician's certificate will be found in this matter. KOCH WINS FIGHT IN YEOMAN LODGE Colorado Springs, Colo., Nov. 23— Outnumbering his opponent, J. E.

Gasoline Engine Explodes at Diagonal, Doing Great Damage. Diagonal, Nov. 24—A twelve horse power gasoline engine exploded early yesterday morning in the Great West- ern engine house, probably fatally injuring two men and wrecking the building. The gasoline leaked, caught fire and the explosion followed. Colonel Elsinger and his helper, Lloyd Alley, were both blown some distance by the explosion and seriously burned. They may die. The engine house is a total loss. Robbins Shoot When Discovered Cedar Rapids, Nov. 24.—Burglaries entered the homes of three wealthy families here last night and attempted to take the life of George Williams, a prominent brewer's agent, who surprised them in their efforts to crack the safe containing the family jewels and silverware. The shot narrowly missed his head. At the home of Mr. and Mrs. G. F. Van Vechten the burglars secured a very valuable sealskin cloak and a new overcoat. At Mrs. B. F. Heins they took a large amount of silverware. Woman Murders an Iowa Sloux City, Nov. 21.—W. F. Nolan of Sioux City was shot and killed on his ranch on Horse Creek, Wyoming, by Mrs. W. T. Thomas. A college president, noted for the extreme correctness of his language, and his closeness in money matters, once bought a pair of ready-made trousers and had them sent home. The bill read: "To J. A. Thompson, the pedagogue, and the pedagogue on Mr. Thompson and said 'pants' was incorrect; it should be 'trousers.' Said the clothier: "I've been in the clothing business twenty years and I've always sold two grades of goods, pants and trousers. Trouseres are everywhere, and trousers are everything five dollars and under, its pants I've sold you, and it's pants you'll pay for." A traveling salesman arrived at come about three in the morning to discover that his wife had given birth to triplets. He was delighted al- most beyond control of himself. "My seve," I said, "I must go right in and wake up my wife." He looked at the neighbor and a dog fancier. He pulled Dooley out of bed, got him to nurry on his clothes, brought him in about half awake, and stood him before the triplets, "Aren't they dandies?" he asked. Dooley gazed at them in a semi-awaked state and, with a grin, replied: "Yes; they're all right. think if I were you I would keep that one in the middle." Convincing Evidence. Winthrop, Cal., Nov. 20th (Special) —A plain and straightforward story is always the most convincing. And that is what has impressed us most in reading the testimonials in regard to Dodd's Kidney Pills. The experience told by Davis Lewis of this place bears the ring and stamp of truth upon it. He says:— "I was troubled for six months with dull heavy pains in the small of my back, sometimes it passed into my stomach, at other times up between my shoulders. When it was in my stomach I was duller up, and the pain was so for the pain. I was advised to take all kinds of remedies, and did so but without getting any relief. Then some one told me to try Dodd's Kidney Pills. I got a box and began taking them. The first few doses gave me relief, by the time I had finished them all the pain was gone and I have been well ever since."

Mr. Samuel Hubbard tells the following story about the late Jerry Simpson, in sometime senator from Kansas; Simpson was bitterly opposed to the policy of the government in acquiring the Philippines, and stated his views in such scathing terms that Senator Cannon, who replied to him, said: "If the gentleman from Kansas voiced such sentiments against the traitor," immediately Jerry Simpson was on his feet and drawed out: "I would rather take my chances at being shot in the Philippines than sit here and be fired on by a rusty, old, muzzle-loading Cannon from Illinois." A strange custom exists in the Tyrol. When a bride is about to start for the church her mother gives her a handkerchief, which is called a tear handkerchief. It is made of newly spun linen, and with it the girl dries the natural tears she sheds on leaving home. The handkerchief is never used after the marriage day, but is folded and placed in the linen closet, where it is kept in the owner's death, when it is taken from its place and spread over her face. Makes Way for the Better Food of a Better Day. "Porridge is no longer used for breakfast in my home," writes a loyal Britain from Huntsville, Ont. This was an admission of no small significance to one "brought up" on the time-honored stand-by. "One month ago," she continues, "I bought a package of Grape-Nuts food for my husband, who had been an invalid for over a year. He had passed through a severe attack of pneumonia and the la gripe combined, and was left in a condition when they passed away. "I tried everything for his benefit, but nothing seemed to do him any good. Month followed month and he still remained as weak as ever. I was almost discouraged about him when I got the Grape-Nuts, but the result has compensated me for my anxiety. "In the one month that he has eaten Grape-Nuts he has gained 10 pounds in weight, his strength is rapidly returning to him, and he feels like a new man. Now he all eat Oranges. He has the better for it. We have little 5 year olds used to suffer from pains in the stomach after eating the old-fashioned porridge, has no more trouble since he began to use Grape-Nuts, and I have no more doctor's bills to pay for him. "We use Grape-Nuts with only sweet cream, and find it the most tasty dish in our bill of fare. "Last Monday I ate 4 teaspoonfuls of Grape-Nuts and cream for breakfast, nothing else, then set to work and got my morning's work done by 9 o'clock. I was a stronger, than if I had made my breakfast on meat, potatoes, etc., as I used to. I wouldn't be without Grape-Nuts in the house for any money." Name given by Postum Co. Battle Creek, Mich.

POWERS TO VISIT WRATH ON TURKEY Foreign Ministers There Pay Visits to Commanders—Austro-Hungarian Ambassador Telegraphs Fleet to Sail. Athens, Nov. 24.—It is understood that the international fleet will sail today. The foreign ministers yesterday paid visits to the commanders of the warships of their respective countries. The commanders later held a conference on board the Austrian flagship. Vienna, Nov. 24.—Baron von Callee the Austrian-Hungarian ambassador at Constantinople, has telegraphed Admiral Ritter von Jönice for a portion of the international fleet to sail immediately, proceeding either to Málaga (at island of the Grecian archipelago belonging to Turkey, in Asia), or for Besika bay (near the entrance of the Dardanelles.) London, Nov. 24—The persistent refusal of the Turkish government to accept European control of the revenues of the vilayets of Macedonia, notwithstanding the ultimatum presented by the allied powers is about to be resolved into acquiescence to the threat of a naval demonstration with the view of compelling the acquiescence of Turkey in the European control of the administration of and the proposed reforms in Macedonia. The obduracy of the sultan apparently is based on the belief that he has the passive support of the emperor of Germany and upon the jealousies supposed to exist among the powers interested. In diplomatic quarters it had been supposed to the very last that the sultan would yield and even now it is expected that he will do so before the international fleet takes active measures. It is understood that the sultan appealed vainly to Emperor William, Empteror Nicholas and Emperor Francis Joseph against the projected demonstration. The combined fleet of the powers no assembly at all was assembled (except six small vessels commanded by Admiral Ritter von Jedline of the Austrian navy. Great Britain is represented by the armored cruiser Lancaster and the scout ship Sentinel, Austria by the armored cruiser St. Georg and the torpedo cruiser Sizgetvur, Italy by the torpedo cruiser Baldi and the torpedo boat destroyer Ostro, and France by a cruiser and a gunboat. DROPS HER CHARGES FROM THE WINDOW Lawrence, Mass., Nov. 23—All but one of 400 girls attending the parochial school of St. Anne's parish, whose lives were endangered by fire in the building yesterday escaped without injury, although twenty-five of them were caught in nets by firemen as they were dropped from a third story window by a teacher, Rena Drouin, 12 years old, was taken to a hospital suffering from the effects of fright and inhaling smoke and it is thought that she will recover. All the pupils except those on the third floor who escaped by means of the net, marched out of the building in fear of the fireman who was given. The fire was caused by an heated furnace. Sister Mary, one of the teachers, and her twenty-five pupils, who were on the third floor, could not get down the stairs on account of the dense walls, so she moved to the windows beneath which the firemen stretched a net. Under the sister's direction the girls climbed over the sill and were assisted to drop and were caught safely by the apparatus held by the firemen. After the firemen cared for Sister Mary herself reached the street by means of a ladder. ENGLISH CABINET ON London, Nov. 24—Recent rumors of an early dissolution of parliament and an appeal to the country are gradually crystallizing into more coiffed form, and while no official ination has yet been forthcoming the idea is prevalent in well informed political circles that Premier Bailout will offer an early opportunity to place his resignation in the hands of the king. Should this materialize the liberals will be invited to form a government, parliament will meet for a few days session and a general election will occur early in the new year. The political situation was so radically altered during the last week that supporters no longer argue that Mr. Bailout a sufficiently united party at his back to meet parliament again with the object of initiating any legislation to the public advantage. A cabinet meeting has been called for today. This will be only the second and this fall, and the fact that he has been so few conferences between the two has taken as another indication of the minence of a change of government. Buln at Vladivostok Tokio, Nov. 23.—An eye-witness who left Vladivostok on November 18, reports at Nagasaki that food is scanty there owing to the destruction of the store houses and that only suficient harley remains to support the people for twenty days. Another person who arrived at Mojl, having rushed to Mojl on November 20, reports that harley was ceased there. The streets there, he says, are a mass of debris and blood remains in evidence everywhere. Many corpses are still lying exposed, forming a gruesome sight. Sure Sign That Dr. Williams' Pink Pins Are Needed to Tone Up the Digestive Organs. Loss of appetite, distress after eating, shortness of breath, a feeling of use when coughing are symptoms that a familiar to most patients from stomach trouble. Too often the ordinary doctor's treatment serves but to weaken the diseased organs. The new ionic method of treating diarr- orders of this kind does not aim to do work of the stomach, does not demand that the food be pre-digested, builds up the weakened organs, so that they can do the work that nature intended. Mrs. L.O. Law, of No. 34284, Horton, Kansas, says: "In 1897, street lamps lining on a farm in this neighborhood, lining on a generally debilitated as the result of overexposure and serious indignation, lined my appetites away from a sense of suffocation and from circulation, so that tactical means had to be restored to it.

The keeper stared at him in astonishment "Are all those your children?" he asked. "Do you said the man from the country," "You wait a minute," said the keeper.

My heart a new thanksgiving sings Ion each successive day that brings The royal gift of common things to gilden me. The song of the sky, the driver fleet, The forest's sade, the valley sweet, The flowers springing at my feet at all for me. The silver on the drop of dew, The sunset's gold, the ether's blue, The prism of the sunbow's hue Isolong to me. The mountain's strength, the ocean's night, The earth, the air, the glowing light, The busy day, the restful night, Were made for me. Some helping hand, some blessing free, Some tender thrush of sympathy, Some prayer, though it unuttered be, Exists for me. So let my heart be moved of praise In sweet acclaim a song upraise. That He who gives the best always. That blesses me. --Blanche Bloor Schleppy. Although days of thanksgiving, especially for the fruits of the earth, have been customary in all ages of the world and in connection with every form of religion, Thanksgiving day as an annual harvest home and family reunion under Christian auspices is a purely American institution and, outside of England, is a comparatively recent origin. As a national holiday it began in the head and heart of Abraham Lincoln, who proclaimed Nov. 26, 1863, as a thanksgiving day for the simultaneous victories of Gettysburg and Vicksburg on July 4 and for the abundant harvests of that year, and Nov. 24, 1864, as a thanksgiving day for similar blessings. There had been other days set apart for thanksgiving during the war, but these were the first of the unbroken series in the month of November. President Johnson conceived the custom out of respect for Mr. Lincoln, who was inductively recognized by every president since. In several states the governors also make coincident proclamations. Though at present mostly a halLOWed memory, Thanksgiving day, when it was in its prime, was one of the noblest and most delightful things in American civilization. Time was when on this day all the churches, the church choir, the cheerful and vout worshippers, and the ministers, speaking from bowers of cornets and sheaves of wheat and pyramids of pumpkins and red apples, moved every heart by their tribute to the divine goodness. From the religious temples the people turned to the family altars, where the fires of dilil devotion turned to splendid displays of the household assembly some of them from remote localities, to look into the changed countenances of "the old people" perhaps for the last time, sat down to a royal feast of good things, the greatest feast of all being the revived and overflowing family affections and the inexhaustible attachment to the family hearthstone. That was American civilization in its flower and fruitage. As long as our people are a home-loving people, as long as filial and fraternal love are afame and as long as we will cross mountains and traverse continents to gather once more old friends, old familes, and drop a tear for departed and to receive the embrace of those who survive, our institutions are safe. Those who have reached middle life can not but regret the partial decadence of Thanksgiving day within their own recollection. In our day it is little more than a secular holiday devoted to athletic sports. The secular holiday and the athletic sports are our culture and in themselves it is not pleasant to them take the place of an admirable and invaluable social custom. There is every year by custom and by proclamation of president and governors a day of Thanksgiving. Upon this day the American nation offers to the throne of Divine Grace its prayerful thanks and slags peas of praise for the many bounties and blessings that have been bestowed upon our people. True, in this great world there may be some who are unable to look back and point with pride and thankfulness to many acts and things that have always exceeded the bad and the world is constantly growing better and brighter. Opportunities are increasing and men are not slow to take advantage of them. The prayers of praise for the benefits of the past and the prayers of supplications for other blessings to follow will be heeded by the Deity and his constant care extended toward us. No cataclysm of crime can eradicate the human creature of a supernatural power and intelligence. The tendency of scientific research is to strengthen this belief by making more manifest the wondrous works of God. It may be considered doubtful if the belief in man's divine origin was ever entirely obliterated from any human mind. With this belief firmly planted in the hearts and homes of this great American nation and mindful of the true source of all earlly power and strength, it is that in the men erected by our people in which to worship God according to the dictates of their own conscience, that they should meet together on this day and give praise to Him who watches over us. The Thanksgiving Occoosoo The original name of the turkey was Oocococo, by which it was known by the native Cherokee Indians. It is supposed that our Pilgrim Fathers, roaming through the woods in search of game for their first Thanksgiving spread heard the Oocococo calling in to fowl, "Turk, turk, turk." These first Yankee huntsmen, mistaking this cry of the bird for its real song, immediately labelled it "turkey," and turkey it is to this day. Much more beautiful and musical was the Indian name, *Oocococo*, a flock when sunning themselves in perfect content on the river beaches—Sunset Magazine. Primitive Pilgrim Feasts. PRIMARY It is necessary that our Pilgrim parents were whetting their appetites upon wild turkey at the very moment when the news of their possible ultimate starvation reached England. It must have been terrible indeed on the approach of winter, with few and imperfect firearms at command, for these desperate men to knock the turkeys off the table and make a neck of them! No spied stuffing with chestnuts and oysters for them! Just simple turkey, roasted upon hot stones or boiled in a cauldron instead of being smothered in a lidded receptacle basted every fifteen minutes in its own juices. A Tough Proposition. The ostriche to this said, "I'm gird I'm the winter wocker." "I'm gird I'm the winter wocker." Loved only for my taste. I give my prey feathers up. At Fashion's stern boost. But as Thanksgiving nee!

The conductor aborted, "Walt, laddy, until the car stops." "Don't address me, sir, as lady," she indignantly repelled, "Beg my pardon, mum!" replied the conductor, but all of us is liable to make mistakes. **Insist on Getting it.** Some grocers say they don't keep Defiance Starch.

It is a sad but true fact, every year brings an increase in the number of operations upon women in our hospitals.

All of these symptoms are indications of an unhealthy condition and if not heeded the trouble will make headway until the penalty has to be paid by a dangerous operation, and a lifetime of impaired usefulness is fatal in many cases the results are fatal. The following letter should bring hope to suffering women Miss Loula Adams, of the Colonnade Hotel, Seattle, Wash., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkman— I am a great sufferer from a severe female trouble, pains and headaches. The doctor prescribed for me and my womb and must undergo an operation if I wanted to get well. I felt that this was my medical help, but the tumor kept growing. Fortunately I corrosed with an ankle in the New England States, and she established Compound, as it was said to cure tumors. I did so and immediately began to treat in health, and I was entirely curried out of operation. I wish every suffering woman would try this great preparation. Just as surely as Miss Adams was armed of the encumerated Compound and so surely I will be Pinkman's Vegetable Compound cure every woman in the land who suffers from womb troubles, inflammation of the ovaries, kidney troubles, nervous excitability and menstrual cramps.
