President Roosevelt Fixes Day For Giv- ing Thanks Unto God. Proclamation Has Striking Literary Tone —Direct Recognition of the Almighty as the Giver of all Good. President Roosevelt has issued this proc- lamation fixing November 28th as the day of national thanksgiving. It follows: The season is nigh when, according to the time hallowed custom of our people, the President appoints a day as the especial occasion for praise and thanksgiving to God. This Thanksgiving finds the people still bowed with sorrow for the death of a great and good President. We mourn President McKinley because we so loved and honored him, and the manner of his death should awaken in the breasts of our people a keen anxiety for the country, and at the same time a resolute purpose not to be driven by any calamity from the path of strong, or- derly, popular liberty which as a nation we have thus far safely trod. Yet, in spite of this great disaster, it is nevertheless true tbat no people on eazth have such abundant cause for thanksgiving as we have. The past year in particular has been one of peace and plenty. We have prospered in things material and have been able to work for our own uplifting in things intellectual and spiritual. Let us remember that as much has been given and will be expected from us, and that true homage comes from the heart as well as | from the lips, and shows itself in deed. We can best prove our thankfulness tothe Al- mighty by the way in which on this earth aud at this time each of us does his duty to his fellow men. Now, therefore I. Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States, do herehy designate as a day of general thanksgiving Tharsday, the 28th of this present Novem- ber, and do recommend that throughout the and the people cease from their wounted eccupationg, and at there several homes and places of worship reverently thank the Giver of all good for the countless blessings of our national life. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. Done at the city of Washington this second day of November, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and one, and of the independence of the United States the one hundred and twenty-sixth.

The Tyrone Herald gives the following account of some thrilling doings at Bald Eagle on Wednesday of last week, when an old bear and two cubs unexpectedly ap- peared in their midst. Wednesday afternoon about 2:30 there were three bears came down from the ridge just east of Bald Eagle station and erossed the railroad into the field of Calvin Sharer. The agent at Bald Eagle and the track men who were walking near by saw the old bear and two cubs crossing the teack. The agent sent his student to the home of D. 0. Jones, some distance away, for a gan and when the boy was on his way back he met the bears coming through the field. The Hoy hid until they got near him when he shot two loads at one of the cubs, with- out effect, as the lady that gave lim the loads for the gun had given him fine shot instead of buckshot. The bears turned and made their way along the creek. By this time several men had gathered and surrounded them. The old hear climbed a small pine tree. Grant Blowers with a stone hit her on the head which made her very angry, and she came down and started through the field. John Gardner went abead and. was lying for them. He put two loads of buckshot in the old one felling her to the ground twice, but got away. Next came one of thecubs. He shot it with two loads of buckshot, kill- ing it, and as Mr. Gardner did not have any more shells with him he could not fol- low the old one. In the meantime she crossed the railroad and went back to the The other cub made its es- cape from the rest of the crowd and also went back to the ridge. There were eight or nine men in the chase, only three guns, one revolver and one flammer. Thomas Conaghan, the student who did the first shooting, was a hrave boy to tackle the three hears with a shot gun. Thursday morning Hayes Woomer and Jacob Leslie, of Bald Eagle, were out in search of the bear'that went on the ridge Wednesday evening. Woomer found the old bear lying down and shot her in the face with a load of buckshot. The bear made for Woomer. He had a muzzle-load- ing, single-harrel gun and he beat her over the head with it until he broke his gun barrel. Leslie was some distance away and by the time he got to Woomer the hear had gone up the mountain. Woomer says ‘the bear has one front leg broken and ecan- not travel fast. He found the bear just opposite J. H. Murphy’s place. r Smalipox Destroys Indians Late reports from the Winnebago Indian reservations in Nebraska are that fifty- three of the 1,000 Indians on the agency bave died of smallpox, which is epidemic | there, and as the medical force of the reser- vation is limited, the disease threatens the destruction of the entire tribe. Duty of Woman to the Child. | Mrs. Schoff to the Pennsylvania Mothers—Incorrigibility Often the Lack of Love. Congress of At the second annual meeting of the | Pennsylvania Congress of Mothers, which | was in session in Williamsport, on Thurs- i day, Mrs. Frederick Schoff of Philadel- | phia, president of the congress, delivered { an address on ‘‘Woman’s Duty to the Chil- | dren of the State.’’ ! “While there are some few : do not recognize- their duty to their own i children,” Mrs. Schoff, said, ‘‘there are | many who feel responsibility to the chil- ! dren of the community, and who know the status and conditions of the children in their own state. This lack of mother Jove and thought has been the cause of great injustice, of most unwise methods, of the lack of suitable provision for the chil- dren of their commonwealth. Woman’s woman who given to the problem of child care in the | community, as well as within the four | walls of home, or the world will suffer.” Continuing, | fishness or lack of patriotism centralizes the thought and interest of one’s own, without consideration of others. Unrec- ognized as a citizen she has given littie or | no thought to the legislation or the gener- al interests of her own town or state. has felt no responsibility and broad out- look on life, she has heen unable to do even for her own children all that she should to make them strong, helpful citi- zens. “Our own ignorance and indifference of- ten result in wraped and distorted develop- ments. So-called bad children and incor- rigible children are, in most instances, the result of bad methods of home care, lack of love and knowledge how to deal with the child. There are no parents so wise that they may not receive inspiration and help in their duties from conference with others. There are hundreds of thousands of homes in Pennsylvania which would be greatly benefitted by thought and study. “To present the henefits of practical methods of obtaining this unity of purpose between homeand school, the Pennsylva- nia Congress of Mothers has been in cor- respondence with every superintendent of schools in Pennsylvania, and has sent its representative wherever desired to present the subject to teachers, and then to organ- ize the parents’ meetings in schools where the teacheis desire the powerful aid assur- ed them by the intelligent co-operation of the parents. A large proportion of the crime ai misery from which we suffer may be raced back to the early training or lack of training in the susceptible years when claracter is forming. “Soci ty has gone on the principle that until an evil developed nothing should he done. 1¢ has failed to provide the oppor- tunities and treatment which would turn the coni
