request that, all on readers attend ser

Thanksgiving, and also something to be
thankful for.
If we bad nothing else to give thanks
for, we should certainly find-suffi lient
reason for so doing in' the fact that we
do not have to chase around after news
items. Today our weary' brogans have
thumped the icy by-ways in vain, for
items are not, and neither is anybody
else. After making7 the rounds of the

The Fornm for December will contain
a. noteworthy sympoFinm ; on "The elec

The first paper in the "group is contrib
uted by tbe Hon. Andrew D. White,
who, in a very valuable and suggestive
article sets forth some of The Practical
Lessons of the Recent Campaign. Dr.
White is followed by Mr. D. MacGregor
Means, a well known publicist of New
York, who, under the title "Will Gov
ernment by the People Endure?" ana
lyzes the causes of discontent which led
to the recent crisis. Prof. Goldwiu
Smith completes the triology with a paper
entitled "The Brewing of the Storm," in
which he discusses the recent crisis from.
the point of view of an outsider.

AN .IMPROMPTU
GUILLOTINE.
And the Fearful, Gory and
Unexpected
Result.
It is really astonishing how sedate
men, men ot excellent judgment and
keen discernment, will occasionally do
the most stupid and apparently un
called for things. A case of this kind
was called to our attention this morning,
the event happening to one of oar lead-
ng citizens, a man of learning and abil
ity, and one whose judgment has mote
weight, in Gilliam, Wasco. Crook and
Sherman counties, than any other man
in them. Now,' this gentleman, after
breakfasting this morning suggested -to
his wife that the big gobbler provided
for tomorrow's feasting should be slaugh
tered at once. "The occasion," said he,
reminds me of my boyhood. - Many a
turkey and chicken have I beheaded in
the days of long ago, and surely my band
has not lost its skill." And so he pro
ceeded to the basement of the house.
where the wood and things are stored,
and then he proceeded to arrange for the
execution. A couple of rings were fas
tened to the joists of the floor above,
placed there to hold a swing for his only
sou. The fitness of the surroundings' at
once appealed to his discerning judg
ment, and so he tied a piece of clothes
line to the gobblers' legs, pulled the
other end of the line through the ring.
placed a block of wood convenient, with
the ax handy, and grabbing the gobbler
firmly by his legs, 'placed Lis long and
bewhiskered neck on the block. Then
the ax was raised, and with an awful
swoop descended. The gobbler's neck
was severed and the ax buried half its
depth in the wood. Tbe executioner
made a pull on the rope, and up went
his turkeyship with a rush, nearly to
the ceiling. Then there was a com mo-
tion, and such a flapping of wings and
contortion of body as that dead but kick
ing turkey made has not been witnessed
either in or out of turkeydom for
many a year. The bold executioner
turned pale and dodged behind a con
venient post, to shut out the horrid vis
ion, and at the same time escape a del
uge of carminated gore that the turk dis
tributed without fear or favor. Finally,
when 'all was still, the trembling man
came from behind tbe post'and surveyed
the field-of carnage. As bis eye took in
tbe results he tied the end of the rope to
the post and left the inanimate tnrk to
whatever fate might befall him. He re
ported the .death of the turkey to his
wife, and then came down town to trv
and get an invitation out to dinner to
morrow. He has not been borne since,
and the reason is soon told. To a friend
he confessed that when the turkey was
dead, and not before, he discovered that
the family washing was hung up in the
basement; "and," said he, "if there was
a piece of it that that turkey missed, I
do not know it." If you do not believe
this story,- ask Judge Bradshaw, who was
a witness to the whole transaction.

nor "refrain from their usual avocations"

much to be thankful for, more, perhaps,
than those citizens who pursue other
callings. 'His or her principal cause for
thankfulness being in the fact tbat.be or
