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,

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.

The echo of hills and laughter of
rills
Distilled In the fairy-god's urn.
From your source In the auow over
avalanche floe,
In your mad roaring rush to the sea,
I charge you to take keep it safe
for my sake
Take my sweetheart this trophy from
me.
As you burst into foam over Preci
pice Dome
And swerve by Castle Rock Ridge
And thunder aud clang a dltty-llke
bang
Ileneatli tho Natural Rrldgo,
Then chatter through leas of century
trees
To leap the Cascades grim and
deep
I warn you beware and observe every
care
My sweetheart's treasure to keep.
And when at your brink the timid
deer drink
And the cougar skulks roundabout
And the cinnamon bear with crafti
est care
Fishes your beauteous trout,
And the ghostly crane with screeches
amain
Flies through the ether-like air
Yet take no alarm, they will offer
no harm
To the message assigned to your
care.
And then you will pass the valley of
grass,
Of orchards and billowy grain,
Where the perfumed breeze of flow
ers and trees
Invites you to remnln;
Ah, the rharins sedate will fascinate
And check your rushing tide!
Dut then take care your charge to
bear
You must not there abide.
And then you bgln the maelstrom
din
Through Hellgate's yawning sway,
Where the walls uprise to the velvet
skies
And banish the light of day;
But the stars' array will guide your
way
To the Btraits of Sunset Strand,
From whence you'll ride the ebbing
tide
To the cliffs of Heligoland.
Limpid river, turbid river, unique
river,
Your name Is Rogue for you purloin
the soul.
Take my mermaid love a token at
her home in Heligoland,
On the sea-cliffs where the breakers
roll.

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
