not ropo any wild horses In front of
the city hall; he will not write any

,to expectt also, that It will net ha so

breaks of ' precaution .when the
Btreeta are as slippery as tkey have
been In Omana of late, knowing that
at beet It is. hard to prevent skidding,
and that ekkfdthg Is extra dangerour,
especially In crowded downtown
thoroughfares, Thus, at such times
It behooves Jill who. delve cars' to ex
ercise special prudence, for unless all
do there still remains the HKeimoou
of accidents. The aafo chauffeur

Hunger lerixt, vs. Tariff,

ran't lay fast enough to supply the)
capacious aiaw of the cold storage
cavern and the increasing demand
for "strictly; freshles" at the Bamo
trine aU the. year around. It anyone
oi pec ted a democratic tariff to give
tus more eggs, and cheaper eggs, ljo
mbst admit It was a delusion. A
hunger strike against eggs seems to
bo the only. Weapon that will do what
the new democratic tariff has failed
to do.
Complaint continues that loo large
a proportion ot our fires are products

THANKSGIVING THOUGHTS.

r1ew them And exnmlne;
Are they because our feast IS full while
others share a famine? a u.
Are they because we ride, the road which
others pick and shovri? j -
Are they because our Wills are wide
while others crowd a hovel? -Are
they because ur limbs are swathed;
while some aro rawed by weather,?,,
Or Are they only for the gifts we all mas'
share together? i
Thanks are not thknks which only make
another's! want our measure, .
Or only by another's pain to gauge a eN
fish pleasure. '
Thanks Are not thanks whose Words are
stones to pelt a lesser brother, '
Or thAt We make our blessedness the
burdtn of another.
Thanks are n6t thanks for tender palms
that Others be as leather;
Thanks are but thanks ror such good
gifts as all hands hold together. -
