We haw. as a nation, as a state,
as a county, as a town, as indi-
viduals. much for which to lie
thankful. Our government is at

earth, our state is enjoying pros-
perity. despite the recent drouth
our county is in much better con-
dition financially and otherwise
than many other counties in this
commonwealth, our town docs not
feel the oppression catised by
partial crop failures like many
other towns, and as individuals,
we have been blessed in many
ways. The proper celebration of
the day does not especially re-
quire turkey ami other luxurious
(Micacits, but they are as wel-
come as the flowers in May, it'

Be thankful in your heart and let
your aots and deeds show true

|H>ssible. There are u number of
locations here, any one of which
is ideal for their terminals, and
which would give them much
more room than those at Hailey-
ville. In addition, the. city is in
position to supply them with
plenty of water, very cheaply, if
not entirely free.
However, the fact that in the
past, Hartshorne has been most
shamefully treated by the rail-
| road company, leads some of our
citizens to view with suspicion
the current rumor. The fact
that the city is now striving for
! better train service, sis well as
' a new depot, gives the company
I a two-fold reason for making
some, advances just now. If by
i the vague promise of moving the
j terminals to this city, the com-
i pany can cause' Hartshorne to
lay down its fight for train sei-
' vice and a despot, or at least de-
lay it indefinitely, it would be a
fine stroke of diplomacy, and in
the meantime, the night trains
would continue to thunder by,
and the old depot would remain
the same.
If the company really has be
iona intentions of moving the di-
vision point here, let them first
give us some definite aasurane
that the same is a fact. They
will find us, as above stated
more than willing to nveet them
half-way, and ready to offer
them a number of flattering in
diK-ements. The city is not an
enemy of the Rock Island ;it is
only asking for a square deal.

What the World Was Doing a
Hundred Years Ago.
The year of 1311 is drawing to
a elos'. It dawned with disaster,
it will end with war. A similar
condition existed one hundred
years ago, for all of Europe
was then rocked with political
agitations ami the spirit of un-
rest was felt evarywL' v<\
In our own country the
pioneers of the West struggled
with the Indians. The great bat-
ile of Tippecanoe was fought.
("Jen. Harrison won his title and
cleared the way to the presidency
by defeating the allied Indian
les on that memorable morn-
ng of Nov. 7.
The year closed with the first
the series of theatre, fires,
lid Richmond, Vs., still has the
ocord of that awful disaster
unong tli' archives of the city
was on the night after Chris!
mas "The Bleeding Nun" was
> ing presented. The theater was
illed with notable people. The
governor of the state was on •
who lost bis life, with nearly
me hundred others. We have
liuul many theatre fires sinee, but
his was, no doubt, the most dis-
astrous in many respects.
Hut of greater importance was
the situation in Europe, for a
*on was born to the great Na-
poleon. That most unhappy of
princes saw the light of day on
the morning of March 20. He
was successively known as King
f Rome, Prince of Parma and
Duke of Reiehstadt. His birth
was the occasion of much rejoic-
ing. It was believed bv the ma-
jority that the birth of Napol-
eon s son would be a most effect-
ual guarantee of the Ikinaparte
dynasty. The clouds that hung
over its future it was beliewd
were destined to lie blown away.
Good fortune s roned to smile
upon the little emperor. A baby's
hand had been wilt by destiny to
strengthen the hand which had
so long held the rod of power,
On March 20 all l'aris rejoiced.
Peace seemed certain. Cannons
boomed announcing the birth of
the imperial child. It was pub-
licly announced that if Napoleon
held a girl in his arms twenty-
one guns would be fired. The
multitude listened. When the
twenty-second shot was heard Par-
is knew that a win hail been given
tli.- emperor and shouts resound-
ed from street to street, from
one public place to another. Fren-
zied'crowds surrounded the palace^

go well and there is no sadder
chapter in history of the vanity
of human wishes than that which

death of the Duke of Reiehstadt

ministers brooded over th> np-

George III., at the age of 73,
was nearing the end. He was in-
apable of looking after the af-
fairs of state, and on Feb. 5 his
son. the prince of Wales, after-
wards George IV., formally be-
came the prince regent.
The relations between England
and America were not. then, the
most pleasant ami diplomats re-
alized that the bonds would snap
a' the slightest pru o t iti. n. Eng-
land dominated th 1 seas with an
arrogant authority. The power
in the deep was unquestioned
and England appeared to care
little for the demands of other
nations. The relationship exist-
ing between Franc and Eng-
I anel was also strained. War was
agitating the minds of both na-
iems and the I'nited State s was
the great neutral power, out
harassed by both belligerent?.

The year of 1911 has bee*n
marked by a readjustment of
the political affairs of many conn
trie's. The' dynasty of tile* Bra-
ganza in Portugal has been over-
thrown. A republic has been es-
tablished. An infant emperor
of China, in childish bliss, is ig-
norant of the struggles going
in which will deprive him of bis
kingdom.
The records of Europe of 100
years ago, while not so radical,
were none the less alarming at
that time. The records did not,
perhaps, command the attention
as did the onew of the years im
in Alia t el y proceeding. No nation
fell. One old etynasty was pusli-
e'd asiele by a newer one. France
and England continued to fight
one another on land and sea.
Napoleon hael his hands full in
Spain and Portugal, where the
duke of Wellingtein was winning
victories right and left. There
was no fighting in Germany.
Prussia was still humble anel de-
pendent, while Russia kept on
mask of friendliness for France.

A Town of Knockers.
A traveling man tells the eeiit-
or of the La Cygne Register the
following story of his experience:
"1 struck a town a few weeks
ago that capped the climax. 1
don't believe one-half of the busi-
ness people patronize each other,
yet they were talking tlvat peo-
ple shoulel patronize home. Ttie
dry goods merchant could not
understand why the furniture
man, the banker, the milliner,
the hardware man and eithers did
not patronize him and keep their
money at home. I happened to
meet some of the people he men-
tioned and they were making the-
same e-oinplaint about him. The
milliner said the dry goods man
never bought anything that was
geiod enough for his folks. The
furniture man said that he hael
not sold the dry goods man twen-
ty dollars worth of goods in
twenty years, and so it was all
around. It beat anything I ever
struck in my life and I was not
surprised that the mail order
house were eating up the town.
The public knew all about how
the business men treated each
otlrer anel had concluded that if
the merchants did not patronize
each other and stand up for one
another there was no necessity
for them to do so."
What Crafty Thinks
They were talking about sending some money to a dis-
tant town to pay a small Hill. "Guess I'M just nel them
my chix'k," Kays Gooelenuif. "I wouldn't," says Crafty, "A
check use-d in the proper manner is a fine thing, but in
sending money away, especially to strangers, I'd use a bank
elraft. 1 once stmt my personal check to a eInstant firm and
they claimed they never received it anel the thing causes! me
all kinds of trouble and worry. Now I always use a bank
draft. If it is lost the bank giives line a duplicate. There is
no chane'c for trouble. The thing is se^ttU'el at emcc." This
