THANKSGIVING FESTIVAL.
"Thy bounty shines in Autumn uncon
fined, sud spreads a. common feast for all
that live."
The month of November Is especially
appropriate for the observance of Thanks
giving, which has become one of four of
our great national holidays. It is the har
vest home of the sea-sons, the final gar
i'.ering of the fruits which reward the toil
of the busy year. To many it brings the
fruition of hopes born of the bright new
vear, while to all, let us hope, it brings
thankfulness for some blessing sousht or
unlocked for. Surely, as a nation, we do
rot need to search long for reasons to
Five thanks. And though individually we
mav not have j?reat cause for re.-oieine-;
for in many homes th day will find only
sad hearts and mournful memories, this
is the common lot of all. If we can not
rejoice over-much within ourserves, let
tis stop and coimt our mercies and com
paring them with others, see if we can
not, for this one day, live outside of our-pt-ives
and our narrow circle and be one
of the great common brotherhood of man;
rejoicing- as one united family of patriotic
Americans.
WHY "WE CELEBRATE.
While we have come to regard Thanks
giving a commemoration distinctly our
own, it may have had its origin in the
Cereaiia of the P.jmans, the -wine festival
of the Spanish Cid. or the harvest home
of the Saxons and Celts. The idea of
feasting in connection with, the devotional
fcart of the services may have been sug
gested to the mind of Governor Bradford
oy these anniversaries. But the cause
which led to the appointment of our first
American Thanksgiving, was the deliver
ance of the Puritans from peculiar trials
that were sufficient to make the stoutest
heart quail, and give way to despair. Ail
know the story of the months of suffer
ing this small handful of brave and inde
pendent people endured. The weary toil,
the patient waiting, the bitter disappoint
ment when the drought threatened ruin
to all their crops. It was then the stern,
iron-souled old governor appointed a sea
Con of prayer. And seemingly In answer
to their petitions the rain descended upon
ell the parched land, until the very earth
rejoiced and took new life again. In those
times not only one day. "but seven, were
fet apart for this great celebration: be-
f inning and ending witb prayer and praise
o tiiat Providence which led them
through their time of trial to brighter
days. It is a far cry from that time to
the present, but the general expression of
fratitude has changed but little out ward -y.
Instead of a week, however, we con
fine the celebration to a day of actual
participation; though in many sections the
preparations for the feast occupy some
days of labor on the part of the house
wife. There are so many time and labor
caving methods now adapted, that the oc
casion ned cause littie unusual excite
ment or bustle in' the household. Yet
Thanksgiving would not be Thanksgiving
without the odor of mince pies and other
good and savory things floating through
ine air.
THE MANY GOOD THINGS.
If there is. at any time, an excuse for
reasonable human beings to be guilty of
over-indulgence, it is certainly when this
feast of over-generous nature is displayed
In such tempting abundance before them.
While we may not have the appetite to
enjoy the liberality of the fruits of all the
earth that are now set before us. as our
forefathers enjnyed their simpler and
more homely viands, still at this season
of the year appetite comes with, eating
and
"There If something kind hearty like
about the atmosphere,
Vhen the heat of summer's over and the
coolm fall is here.'
THE DINNER.
Thi3. It must be remembered. Is, more
than all things else, a family gathering;
B.U needles? form and ceremony are to be
avoided. Thankfulness and good cheer
are the spirits that rule the feast. There
I very little variation in the dishes serv
ed, as certain viands are so closely asso
ciated with the day it would set m almost
like sacrilege to leave them off the menu
or make any radical change in their prep
aration. Imagine Thanksgiving without
turkey ! On- might as well forego the
feast altogether as to leave this Hamlet
out of the play. Many housekeepers pre
fer to wait for this occasion before serv
ing the first turkey of the season; this is
a very sensible idea, as every one is bet
ter able to enjoy it when not satiated
from a too frequent dit-
M A KING PREPARATIONS.
Vary often the young housekeeper, who
serves her first Thanksgiving feast, in
her desire to emulate mother's dinner,

friends. This is certainly love's labor lost.

Recipes.
Fish Timbales Rub together two level
tablespoonfuls of butter and same of
flour, to a smooth paste; add one cup of
hot milk and stir and cook until It comes
to boiling point. Season with half a tea

skias and mash smooth, adding a table
spoonful of melted butter or rich cream,
a teaspoonful of salt and three dashes of

Phoenix, Ariz., Nov. 21. A message
received here today from the San Carlos
reservation, says that no Indians have

from San Carlos. There are no indica

A dispatch from Casa Grande, Mexico;
states that the fight reported there be

Western Roads Show Efficiency
of Management.
Four Gilt Edged Roads and Fire
Grangers Compared.
A HIGH PERCENTAGE
Recorded by the Santa Fein
Net Earnings
Which - May ', Account For Ad
vance in Its Securities.
It scarcely admits of controversy that
the success or failure of railroad proper
ties now depends principally on efficiency
of operative management there was a
time when financial sagacity was the
prime consideration. This being admit
ted, It follows that the ratio between
gross and net earnings from operation
only is the most important criterion of
the well-being of a railroad because it is
the index of efficiency in 'management.
Recognition of the Santa Fe's official op
eration and earnings power is reflected in
the rise in prices its securities have rec
orded in the market recently.
The following table presents this ratio
for four of the "gilt-edged" raosd and for
five of the "granger" and western road3
which are now in the public eye. The per
centages are derived from official figures
fro gross and net earnings from actual op
eration. Differences in mileage hav been
disregarded because the comparison is not
between fiscal periods, but between one
management and another. The results
follow;

it is noted that the Atchison shows a
phenomenal percentage of net arnings
almost 4 per cent better than even the
New York Central and that the Union
Pacific ratio is about 1 per cent higher
than that f the Atchison. It is true that
traffic conditions and the nature of the
business of these western roads give them
an advantage, but the fact remains that
they are being operated with surprising
skill. Few persons reflect on the pecun
iary losses which result from the most
trivial errors of judgment in railway oper
ation, and the stock market is apt to ig
nore the genius for economy, which un
derlies every fraction of a per cent gain
ed in the ratio of net earnings. Consid
ered merely as an illustration of the scien
tific skill with which American railways
are now managed the table is interesting,
and it affords a statistical basis for faith
in the continued prosperity of the western
roads.

YR00MAN TALKS POLITICS.
Says That Trusts Will Rob Republi
cans as Well as Democrats.
Carl Vrooman, the Parsons Populist,
discussing the result of the recent elec
tion, said:
"We fought a good fight, we kept the
faith and If henceforth there is laid up
for our country four years of prosperity
and plenty I am prepared to enjoy as
much of it as any Republican can. If,
on tie other hand, the trusts continue,
as I believe they will, to tighten their
grip on the throats of the people, I'll
have the satisfaction of knowing that
they'll rob Republicans as complacently
as they will Populists and Democrats.
I'll enjoy the next four years good
fighting as much as I have the last. If
we have been wromg.the next four years
will prove it. If we have been i ight, the
next four years will prove that.
"The chief factor of how it happened
was a failure on the part of many vo
ters to know or to care what were tiie
real causes of the present business re
vival. . These causes were : First, a re
action from the panic of the plutocrat
Cleveland administration. Secondly, the
increase of our circulating medium by
the world's phenomenal output of gold.
Thirdly, the four distinct wars, each of
which Increased the demand and de
creased the supply of food and other
products; and, fourthly, several minor
reasons, such, as foreign crop failures
and famines. This business revival,
which came In spite of, and in no way
on account of, the McKinley admlnis
tration.has yet in the popular mind been
associated with that administration. As
a result the Republican party and Mark
Hanna have received the gratitude and
the thanksgiving due to Almighty God.
"By 1904 the people will have learned
a new catechism 'The Lord giveth and
the trust taketh away. Blessed be the
name of the Lord! To with Hanna-
lsm!' "
Mr. Vrooman, who was one of the
managers of the Populist feature of the
campaign, expresses the following opin
ion of Mr. Bryan:
"Historians will say of Bryan that he
was the greatest political educator of
the century. Whether we consider him
right or wrong in his economic views,
every fair man must acknowledge that
he inaugurated a new era in American
politics. His advent put an end to 25
years of scrambling for spoils, by lining
up our two great parties in a struggle
for principle. Our principle of that
struggle is sure to emerge triumphant.
To doubt this is treason and atheism."
As a warning for the next campaign,
Mr. Vrooman says:
"Every Populist and Democrat should
be careful to remember what we are so
constantly urging on Republicans, that
principles are the soul, the spirit, of a
party, and that whoever loves party
name, party history or party organiza
tion more than the vital principles of
that party, is 'worse than an infidel.' If
Grover Cleveland and "Whitney and
their gang of plutocratic tools should
ever get control of the national Demo
cratic organization again, the duty of
every Jeffersonian, Jacksonian Demo
crat would be to rally to the formation
of a new Democracy. In that new party,
in that new physical body, would thus
become reincarnate and invincible tne
great, undying principles of popular gov
ernment. .
"Our principles can win in 1904 on one
condition if we are true to them. To
remain steadfast ad true may require
sacrifice of time, of money, of friends
and perhaps of our own favorite and al
most priceless party prejudice. But if
we axe not ready to sacrifice J1 these
and more, if we are not ready to cling
to principle with a deathless devotion,
and to fight for it to the last dollar and
the last drop of blood, we are unworthy
to be freemen.
'The greatest problem today pressing
for solution is the trust problem. It will
dwarf all other issues in 1904. Every
citizen should study it and proclaim
the truth about it from the house tops,
realizing that upon its solution depends
the perpetuity of liberty amongst us.
Imperialism is but the latest eruption in
a new spot of the same foul disease."

Of Treating; Piles and Rectal Dis
eases. The old method of treating piles by the
knife, by ligature or dilation, besides
causing Intense pain and frequently col
lapse and death are now known to be
worse than useless as far as actually
curing the trouble is concerned.
Derangement of the liver, and other
internals organs as well as constipation
often cause piles, and it is a mistake
to treat it as a purely local disease;
this is the reason why salves and oint
ments have so little effect and the wide
spread success of the Pyramid Pile Cure
has demonstrated it.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is not a salve
nor ointment, but is In suppository form,
which is applied at night, absorbed into
the sensitive rectal membrane and acta
both as a local and constitutional treat
ment and in cases of many years stand
ing has made thousands of permanent
cures.
Many pile sufferers who have under
gone surgical operations without relief
or cure have been surprised by results
from a few weeks' treatment with the
Pyramid suppository.
The relief from pain is so immediate
that patients sometimes imagine that
the Pyramid contains opiates or cocaine,
but such is not the case; it is guaranteed
absolutely free from any injurious drug.
The cure is the result of the healing
oils and astringent properties of the
remedy which cause the little tumors
and conjested blood vessels to contract
and a natural circulation is established.

Dr. Kilmer & Co., BInghamton, N. T.:
Gentlemen: In justice to you, I feel It Is my duty to send you an acknowl

me. I had been out of health for the past five years with kidney and bladder
trouble. Had our best physicians prescribe for me. They would relieve me for
the time being, but the old complaint would in a Bhort time return again. I sent
for a sample bottle of Swamp-Root, and I found it did me a world of good. Since
then I have taken eight small bottles bought at my drug store, and I consider
myself perfectly cured. It seemed as though my back would break in two after
stooping. I do not have to get up during the night to urinate, as formerly did
three or four times a night, but nowsleep the sleep of peace. My back is all
right again, and in every way I am a new man. Two of my brother officers
are still using Swamp-Root. They, likemyself, cannot say too much in praise of
it. It is a boon to mankind. WTe recommend it to all humanity who are suff
ering from kidney and blidder diseases.
My brother officers (whose signatures accompany this letter), as well as my
self, thank you for the blessing you have brought to the human race in the com
pounding of Swamp-Root. We remain, yours very truly,

Women as Well as ' Men Are Made Miserable by
Kidney and Bladder Troubles.
'Tou have no idea how well I feel I
am satisfied that I do not need any
more medicine, as I am in as good
health as I ever was in my life." So
says Mrs. Mary Engelhardt, of 2,835
Madison Street, St. Louis, Mo., to a re
porter of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
"For more than ten years I had suf
fered with what the doctors termed fe
male trouble; also heart trouble, with
swelling of the feet and limbs. Last
summer I felt so badly that I thought
I had not long to live. I consulted doc
tor after doctor and took their medi
cines, but felt no better. The physicians
told me my kidneys were not affected,
but I felt sure that they were the cause
of my trouble. A friend recommended
me to try Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root.and
I must say I derived immense benefits
almost from the first week. I continued
the medicine, taking it regularly, and I
am now in splendid health. The pains
and aches have all gone. I have rec
ommended Swamp-Root to all my
friends, and told them what it has done
for me. I will gladly answer any one
who desires to write me regarding my

That Seems to Be Popular Basis For
New House Apportionment.
Washington. Nov. 21. Representative
Hopkins, of Illinois, chairman of the
house committee on census, which com
mittee will have charge of the legisla
tion affecting the apportionment of the
house, today expressed the opinion that
there would be no decided effort during
the next session of congress to decrease
the congressional representation of the
southern states because of the disfran
chisement of negroes. He said that In
all probability the subject would be dis
cussed, but he thought, that upon the
wrhole the committee would favor the
plan of basing representation, upon the
number of inhabitants.
Discussing the general subject of re
apportionment, Mr. Hopkins said:
"The committee on census will meet
during the first week of the session to
frame a bill providing for reapportion
ment. I think that a proposition will
be adopted which will increase the pres
ent membership of the house. It has
been suggested that we authorize one
member for every 198,000 inhabitants.
That seems to be the ratio that is in
general favor among members of the
committee. This proposition would en
tall an increased membership of from
15 to 20 members.
"According to calculations I have
made, this reapportionment would add
members to the house from New York
and Illinois and perhaps other state.
States like Nebraska and Maine might
lose members by the proposed law. Some
of the southern states might also suffer
from the proposition agreed upon, al
though to what extent can not now be
ascertained."
