BUSINESS men are beginning to

steady growth of trade. This
means a better circulation of

The cold ware has also had its
effect upon trade. Farmers who
have attended to the field are to-day
laying in their winter's supply for

ON MODERN BUDDHISM.
Prince Damtong, who is a brother
of the king of Siam, at a dinner
party given by Siamese legation at
Paris, speakit.g of modern Budd
hism is thus quoted:
"Yes I am a Buddhist, and so 13
also the king. He nnd J profess
the modem Buddhism. We
modern Buddhist do not assert
that there is no future life, but we
do not affirm it either, because wc
neither affirm or deny what we can
not clearly understand. If you
like, I can give you an illustration
of what our modern Buddhism is.
When vou iro and travel in the
desert vou must always take a hot
tleof water with you. If you find
water in the desert, all very well,
but if you find none you have your
bnttl of water. So it is with our
creed. We should do as much
good as possible, we should do our
best. If there is no future, we have
in this case in this life the convic
tion of having done no harm, and if
there is a future, the good we have
done will follow us in the next life,
There is no creed which we attack
or condemn. I can believe in
Christ as much as any Christian, as
far as his moral teaching goes,and;i
even confess that I am a great frend
of Christ, for I am a great admirer
of the mral principles which he
inculcated. If you will discover a
true and modern Buddhist, speak
with him about other relicions. If
1 .
he criticises and blames them, be
sure he is not a good Buddhist.
"You tFk me whether we have
;inv missionaries. Yes, we have
many; i may even pny more mis
sionaries than converts, lo my
mind they proceed iu a contrary
fashion to what they ought. They
be"in by preaching that all that
we know and all our belief in Bud
dhism is entirely false, and that
ttierp is but one truth the faiih
which thev propose to us. Then
after having said this, they estab
liah schools and do some good
things. They ought to act in the
opposite way to do good things, to
open schools, and then to reconcile
Buddhism and Christianity, teach
ing what is good in one without
condemning what is j;ood iu the
other."

It is a very glad incident of the
marvelous prosperity which has

people. It has been as wide as our
country and so special that every
home has felt its comforting mllii

of man's power and too particular
to be the device of his mind. To
Ond, the beneficent and all wise,

governing is as much beyond the

November present, to be a day of
j nlul thanksgiving to (iod for the

THE GOVERNOR'S THANKSGIVING
PROCLAMATION.
Now, more than ever have the ,
people of Nebraska most convin
cing reason for lifting; their hearts
iu uratitude to the Supreme hulir
of the universe for the untold blca-
dinga they have enjoyed during the
year which is now drawing to a
close. The disastrous effects of the
drouth which afflicted aonie portions
f the state n year ago have been
followed by the sunshine of pros
perity. The windows of heaven
were opened; the rains came and
ow the earth has responded with
a most abundant increase; the la
bors of the husbandmen have been
most lavishly rewarded; the fields
have been almost weighed down
ith grain the trees with fruit
the granaries are now fnll to re
pletion; now vigor and energy have
been infused into department of
human efforts; joy sits in the hearts
fthe people where there was a
lamentation a year ago: general
health prevails and peace reigns
ithin our borderi.
It is most becoming, an well as
ie performance of a scared duty,
that all should manifest m' a
public manner their appreciation I
f and their gratitude for these!
priceless blessings. ;
Now, therefore, 1, John M.Thayer,
jrovernor of the state Nebraska, do
hereby designate Thursday, the 26
day of the present month, as a day
f thanksgiving and praise to the
Most High for His fatherly care
ever us and for His tender mercies.
I most earnestly request all the
people of this commonwealth to
abstain from all secular employ
ment on that day nnd assemble in
their several places of public wor
hip and offer up thanksgiving and
songs of praise to His holy name.
In accordance with this beauti
ful custom families wilt be reunited,
social and fraternal influences will
prevail and the hearts of all should
be made glad.
I beer those with an abundance
not to forget the poor and needy,
bt to give to them freely of their
own bounty. Let all the people re
joice.
In testimony whereof I have here
unto net my hand and caused to be
uflixcd the great seal of the Btate.

A Dut Storm In HlmU.
A curious phenomenon occurred in
Simla recently on two successive nights.
This whs nothing less than a dust storm
in the midst of a downpour of rain, or
rather, to speak more correctly, a shower
of mud. A colnmn of dust seems to
have been carried up into the higher at
mosphere from the plains ami to have
been caught and forced down by the
jenvy rain. Iu the morning, as a result,
all the plants and flowers in Simla were
found to have received a thick coating
of mud. There could be no doubt that
the mud had lieen rained down, for it
was freely sprinkled on jdauts away
from the hillside nnd at a great height
from the ground. Moreover a deposit
of nind was found in the rain guuges iu
various parts of the station. It is a
common thing to see the atmosphere in
the lulls during the hot season thick with
dnst from the plains, carried aloft by a
strong wind. But the conjunction of
rain and dust is an accident of which,
it is stated, there u no previous record.

A TEltllim.E CHASE.
"A crMa came, when one day I took
my sweetheart out for a sleigh ride in a
low pnng belonging to her father, to
which was harnessed my own sure and
swift footed mare. It was a lovely day
and we expected to make a safe and
moid descent of the mountain, a dis
tance of ten or twelve miles. The air
was crisp and cold, the sleighing fine,
and we skimmed up the ascent nnd
reached the landing before we knew we
had started. There we were met by the
ogs. 1 think it would have been less
difficult to have gotten rid of a pair of
wolves. 1 dare not give my inure her
head going down that long, steep declivi
ty on frozen snow, and the dogs, em
boldened by the cold or maddened by
repeated lashings from my whip, jumped
at my companion and tore her cloak and
her dress in mouthfuls. I clubbed with
my whip and best them on the head, but
they did not even seem to reel my blows.
Their great black and yellow frames
quivered with ferocity. The hair on
their backs stood up like manes; their
eyeballs gleamed red and angry, nnd the
noise they made was deafening and dis
tracting. 'Oh I' I exclaimed, "why haven t I a
pistol
Look In the box nnuer tne seat,'
cried my companion, whose face was
blanched.
"I looked quickly, and fonnd a rusty
double barreled horse pistol of make of
forty years ago.
" 'Is it loaded7 I asked.
'Yes, but don't shoot If yon do that
man will kill your
TWO SHOTS niKD THEM.
"I remember thinking how like a
woman it was to tell me where to find
the pistol and then ask me not to shoot.
"I laid the reins loose on the mare's
back and away she went like the wind,
beyond my control now, and I knew she
weuld never stop till she was a mile be
yond the level ground at the foot of the
hllL
"If the pnng held together; if nothing
made the mare swerve from the direct
line; If. in fact if Providence kept an
eye on us, and the breeching didnt
break, we might escape breaking our
necks. I looked back and saw the dogs
gaining tn as, even at that mud gait-
then I took aim and fired. Bang I Bangt
There were two dark objects lying prone
on the snowy road, and as qnick as she
could gather her feet under her my mere
stopped In her tracks, bae was trainea

Ill Elizabeth's time the ordering of the
household was strict. Servants and
'prentice were up at C in the summer
ami nt 7 in the winter. No one ono oo
any pretence, except that of illness, was
to absent himself from morning and
evening prayers; there was to be no
striking, no profane language. Sunday
was clean shirt day. Dinner was at 11, '
supper at 0. There was no public or
private office which was not provided
with a Bible. In the better classes there
was a general enthusiasm for learning of
all kiuds. The ladies, imitating the ex
ample of the queen, practiced embroid
ery, wrote beautifully, played curious
instruments, knew how to sing in parts,
dressed with us much maginlicence as
they conld afford, danced the enraute
and the lavolta as well as the simple hey,
and studied kuiguagea Laliu, Greek
ami Ilaliau.

Many years ago a prominent clergy
man was consulted by the ladies of hie
congregation abont certain clerical work
in which they 'were interested. Smiling'
at their euraestness, he said: "That
right, ladies; make a f use make a fussf"
That's the only way to get work done la
this world! Set about it yourself and.
make a fuss while you do!" And so it
is. Thinking about wrongs and sighing
over them never mended one. But the-
people who exert themselves to right the
wrong, making a good stir about it
while they do, aud worrying at other
people to exert themselves, too, will ofteta
f orce the other people into activity la
sheer self defense.
The other iieople would like to ait- '
quiet aud take it out in sighing, bnt.
these energetic fassers will not let them.
At last, to get rid of the agitators, they -rouse
up, go to work with a will, and
accomplish what is asked of them for
the sake of the peace they obtain there-
by. But whatever their motive, al
mankind has the benefit. - It is not only
well to get wrongs righted, it is also-
well to get sluggish people stirred up-
