BOSTON li it 4 aaaaaaaaaaaaaat Home Poets aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa THANKSGIVING. (By Elizabeth Yockey, Ashland.) Am I thankful? Yes, in a thousand ways For peaceful nights and bounteous days. I'll see but the good I find that it . pays. As the ugly cocoon has much beauty inside, So looks oft deceive and much good may hide. In God's perfect love only right may abide. Then I'll count my blessings they're many and great Say we're sailing right on in this big Ship of Sta'e, And we'll all find much good we may emulate. We may have had trials and troubles galore. Be thankful to God that they were no more, And for the faith that whispers they'll soon all be o'er. BE IHAXKITI. (By Mary Agnes Daily.) Let us thankful be to God, Who gives us everything we see The earth, the sky, the air we breathe, Grass, flower, fruit and tree; The sun, with moon and stars Which shine with its reflected lisht, Illuminin.'; our path by day, Guarding our couch by night. For parents dear and friends we love, For comrades whom we trust, For lovers true and children too, For rules good and just; For joy and peace and harmony, For patience, love and truth, And e'en for crosses, too, which come, Let us not 'complain, forsooth. By thanking God we all may pass From our adversity, And rise upon the waves of thought To glad prosperity. THE PIONEERS OF THE ROGUE. (By Dr. Fred R. Goddard, Klamath Falls, Ore.) When the word from California Swept o'er mountain, vale and valley, Telling gold was in the westland, Shining in its brooks and rivers, Many hearts were filled with longing For the noblest of all metals, So in clumsy prairie schooners They kept step with empire west ward. Slow they marched o'er rolling prairies, Scaled the rough and jagged moun tain, Fought the frigid snows of winter, Thirsted in the desert valleys. But with courage ever dauntless, And with hearts that knew no falling. They kept onward, ever westward, To the land of gold and plenty. But while on some explorations In the forests of the northland Trappers came upon a vailey In the bosom of the mountains. And they boasted of that valley, Of the beauty of its meadows, Of the music in its brooklets, Of the new discovered Eden. So again the word went flying Swiftly o'er the vales and valleys, Telling of the Eldorado In the forests of the northland. And again strong hearts were throb bing , For some new and wild' adventure, So they followed up the rumor Of the valley in the mountains. When they reached that little valley, Saw the beauty of its meadows, Heard the music of its brooklets, Viewed the new discovered Eden, DRY GOODS AND GENT'S FURNISHINGS GivingAway Gold Fish While they last with $1.00 purchases a Gold Fish Free i To introduce more widely the well known Nyal Goods we give with 75c Nyal purchases A Gold Fish Free Do your Xmas shopping here and secure your fish free, at Polcys Drug Store I - I'dli'y & Kllmrt, Druggets. Ever ceased the fierce longing For some new and wild adventure, So they tettled In the valley Hewing homes from out the forests. Logs they cut to build their cabins, Hoofs they made of pine and cedar, Floors they split from ancient fir tree, Flues they built of stones and mor tar. R.alls they split from forest giants, Hauled them on their prairie schoon ers, Builded fences high and mighty 'Round the sod so newly broken. Roads they graded in the valley, Builded bridges o'er, the rivers, BuiMed mills by rushing waters, Euilded schools for all their chil dren. And for years they dwelt In comfort, In the vale of peace and plenty, In the valley In the mountains, In the counterpart of Heaven. Many years have come and vanished Since the first man trod this valley, Cut the ancient stately fir tree, Broke the sod of unknown ages. And the Reaper has been busy. He. has thinned the ranks among us. He has garnered up the harvest To the land of the Hereafter. (One by one the landmarks falling, Without sound and without murmur, L-eavIng none to tell the story Df the days so long departed!) But now we, their sturdy children, Tell the stories of their valor, Tell them to the passing stranger, Tell them to our little children. So that in the coming ages, Dwellers in this little valley May around each glowing hearth stone Tell the stories of their courage. Thus by precept and example, By their wisdom and their courage, They have guided and instructed Many future generations. Now, with thoughts so full of yearn ing For each poul who dwelt before us, For each man who toiled and suf fered, For each one who" worked and wor ried, In our hearts we hold Tnanksglving, Sing again their noble praises, Hoping, wishing we may meet them In the land of the Hereafter.

As she hung from the branch of a lofty tree, "I'm not that poor rose so pale and so low, Growing cn a mere briar in the gar den below. "How far I'm above her, way up here so high, And noticed by all on the street who pass by, While the rose on the briar, so pale aud remote, Is too low for anybody at all to taka note." But before the great sun had dipped that night In the sea, A boy came along and climbed up the tree, And 'into his basket carelessly flung The haughty red apple, the very first one. She was taken home to a desolate place And with eleven of her companions was readily placed Into an even so close and so hot That all else by her was readily for got, But that she for her folly and pride while living Was only a baked apple to be served for Thanksgiving, Well, the rose? Why, the rose so modest and sweet was bought By a lady who passed on the street. Whose daughter that evening a bride was arrayed, And the rose was purchased, and a half sovereign paid. The roso so sweet, so shy 'and so white, Was worn by a bride on that Thanks giving night We engrave our Parisian ivory free. O. II. Johnson, jeweler. 55-tf B 1X3
