THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION
President Gives Reason tor
Being Thankful.
Washington, Oot. 24.—The presi
dent yesterday issued a proclamation
naming Tliursday, November 20, as a
day of thanksgiving.
The text of the proclamation is us
follows:
"A PROCLAMATION.
"The time if the year has come
when, in accordance with the wise
custom of our fathers, it becomes my
duty to set aside a special day of
thanksgiving and praise to the Al
mighty because of blessings we have
received, and of prayer that these
blessings may be continued.
"Yet another year of wide spread
wellbeing has 1 Missed. Never before
in our history or in the history of any
other nation, turn a people enjoyed
more abounding material prosperity
than lias ours; a prosperity so great
that It should arouse iu us no spirit
of reckless pride, and, least of all, a
spirit of heedless disregard of our re
spotud bill tee; but rather a sober
sense of our many blessings aud a res
olute purpoee, under providence, uot
to forfeit them by any action of our
own.
"Material wellbeing, indlspenanblo
though it ia, can never be anything
but the foundation of true national
greatness aud happiness. If we build
nothing upon this foundation, then
our nut hum I life will he as meaning
less and empty us a house where only
the foundation h«s been laid. Upon
our material wellbeing must be built
• superstructure of individual aud
aatioual life within iu accordance
with the laws of tlie highest morality,
or else our prosperity itself will in
the long run turn out a curse instead
of a blessing. We should be hotb
reverently thankful for wlmt we have
received and earnestly bent upon
turuiug it into a means of grace, aud
not of deatruction.
"Accordingly, I hereby set apart
Thursday, Die 29th day of November
next, as a day of thauksgiviug and
supplication, upon which the people
•hall meet iu their homes or
Churches, devoutly acknowledging
that which has been given them, and
»« pray that they may Iu addition re
ceive the power to use theee gifts
aright.
"In witness whereof 1 have here
unto eet my baud aud caused the seal
of tiie United Stales to be affixed.
"Done at the city of Washington
this twenty secoud day of October, in
the year of our Lord, one thousand
nitie hundred and six, aud of the In
dependence of the United States, the
one hundred aud thirty-first.

Word waa passed around this morning
that the A lani<«ta company is about
to be reorganised and the par value
of the stock, which now is four
cents, raised to 41 a share; also that
within a short time the stock will be
placed on sale at the New York

Domestic Difficulties:

"What's that?" exclaimed Mrs. Blair
as a loud thud in the hall smots upon
her earn.
"It's only the nmll carrier throwing
in one of my rejected stories, of
course," replied her husband resigned
ly, springing up from the breakfast ta
ble and disappearing Into the hall.
Presently tie returned with a fat eu
velope, which he tossed beside hi
plate, and a magazine, which he pro
ceeded to open aud glance through.
"Which one Is it this time?" asked
his wife sympathetically.
"The mining story I sent off last
Thursday,'*
"Only flve days ago! I don't believe
they oven looked ut it I"
"Oh, yes. they did. They probably
saw at a glance that they didn't want
it and were kind enough to ship it back
promptly. Perhaps it was too long or
too short or— Stay, let me see what
the editor does say," tearing open the
envelops and glancing over a printed
slip.
" We have read the inclosed manu
script with Interest and regret that It
does not seem precisely adapted to our
present needs and therefore return It.'
U'm, h'tni 'This does not imply auy
lack of merit.' No, of course not. In
fact, my dear, It's the same old story In
the aniue old way."
He slammed the contemned mnnu
script upon the table and resumed his
study of the magazine.
"Yet plenty of writers do get tn," he
continued. ''Here are eight short sto
ries Iu this number of Hamper's, and
thousands of others are published ev'
ery mouth. It seems ns if everybody
wrote for the press nowadays."
"Even the lawyers." said his wife
with a glimmer of fun In her eyes.
"Well, even a lawyer doesn't disdain
an occasional twenty or thirty dollan
for a few hours' spare work."
"Twenty or thirty dollars! You are
coming down rapidly iu your prices
Last year It was forty or fifty, aud the
year before It was a hundred or so."
"The law of supply and demaud, my
dear. If 1 had made a hit like the au
thor of 'Mr. Jlgga of the Oyster lied,'
my prices would tie advancing at a cor
rewpoudlug rate. But what I was go
lag to say is this: How do nit these
writers get Iu and why Iu the mlschlet
cau't I get in too? Jerusalem!"
The expletive was addressed to tht
maid, who tn setting a cup of coffee
beside his place had splashed some of
the hot coutents over his baud ami
upon the tablecloth. He glared at her
savagely while she awkwardly apolo
gised aud mopped up the fluid with a
uapklu.
Mrs, Blair frowued at him, as If tu
say. "Dou't scold her!" aud theu ob
served kindly to the maid: "Never
mind. Mary. The cloth would go In
the wash tomorrow, anyway. Now
will you please set a Auger bowl on
the table."
Mr. Blair returned to the magazine
"Here Is another story by that new
writer. M. Conway, and It seems t.
start off well. 1 wish l could meet him.
or. more likely, her. for most of the
uew writers seem to tie women. I'd
say to him. or her: 'Sir. or madam, how
Iu the world did you do it? IIow did
you get Iu? Was It by Influence or
cheek or a personal ac<|ualmaucc wit'
the editor? Won't you kindly Inform
me how It was accomplished? Tell mt
bow to get In and I'll promise to whack
up half of my first year'* profits.' "
A loud crash Interrupted his remarks,
aud, glancing up. ho beheld the mat I
standing helplessly over the fragments
of a cut glass Huger bowl.
"Well, wtiat next?" he tiegau. but
his wife hastily lntert<osed. "Never
mind. Mary. A little clean water won t
hurt the rug. and you can sweep up
the glass after breakfast."
When the maid had withdrawn Mrs.
Blair said to her husband. "You must
be careful uot to speak so sharply or
ive'U lose her, and 1 don't know where
we could get any one to take he'
nbee "
"All right," teturuea air. uiair. "But
there's one thing I will Insist upon.
Bhe must keep out of my den. She
was In there ngaln this morning."
"Yes. She asked my permission to
look at your dictionary."
"The dictionary! Now, what"—
As If in answer to his unfinlshe
question the maid entered, blushlngly
bunded tier mistress a note and quietly
withdrew. .
With a muttered exclamation of
iniazement Mrs. Blair glanced through
Ihe note and then read It aloud:
"Dear Madam—I regret to Inform you
that our pie -ant connection as mlstrcsr
and maid will terminate on the 10th Inst
when my m. nth la up. This does not
Imply any la of kindness on your part,
but simply ..int I am engaged In mor
remunerative and congenial employment.
"Trusting you may soon find anotl.t
maid who will prove available, 1 am
very respectfully tours,
"M. CONWAY FLANNETtTY.
"Great Boott! M. Conway—our maid!"
gasped Mr. l'.ialr.
They gazed blankly at each other a
moment and then roared with laugh
ter.
Finally, "You'd better give It up, my
dour," said his wife chokingly ns she
wlpetl her eyes.
"I will," he returned, rending hit
manuscript In twain. "When house
maids take to story writing it Is high
time for lawyers to stick to their
briefs"
