Here is a story of a man who
didn't read the newspapers, He
lives on the Cumberland Noun
tains, Md, where a gentleman of
Lancaster met him few days ago.
The two got to talking about the
war and General Grant, when the
mountaineer stated that he had
fought under the latter He final
ly dropped a thunderbolt ON the
Lancastrian by asking: "How is
the old General, anyhow, and
where is he now living?" He was

that he had been dead and buried

excuse his ignorance by saying
that he seldom got down into the
settlement, and the mountains

The Origin Of Thanksgiving.

AS il to resist the bitterness
and sadness of the failing year,
the most genial and kindly of al
our festivals occurs at the end OF
November. Its very name,
Thanksgiving" betraysit plous
orgin-an origin unmixed with
any prior tradition. The great
Christian festival of Christmas
stretches backward to yule logs
and mistletoes, to scandinavian
and Briton heathenry; nor does it
lose by the graceful, happy rs
ISOLATION. But Thanksgiving is
purely Puritan. 1t is the good,
warm heart conquering the tough
head and ascetic manner of the
old pilgrims.
In Elliott's New England
History" you may read that in
1923, after the harvest, Governor
Bradstreet sent out company to
shoot game to furnish dainty
feast of rejoicing after the laborers
# the colony. Having followed
The directions of the governor,
and the principle of the excellent
Mrs. Grass, they cooked their game
and invited Massasoit and some
ninety other savages, who fell to
and devoured the feast, thanking
God "for the good world and the
good things in it.
Think of that little shiyering
band clustered ON the bitter edge
of the continent, with the future
before them almost as dark as the
forest behind them, many of them
with such long lines of happy
memories in Old England flashing
across the sea into the gloom OF
their presents position like gloams
of ruddy freight that stream far
out of The cheerful chimney into
the cold winter highland think
of the same festival now. when
our governors and Our president
invite millions of people to return
thanks to the great giver of har-
vests; and the millions of people
obeying, sacrifice hecatombs of
turkeys and pumpkins and pour
out seas of cider and harmless
wine. rt H.
1t might be dangerous to stake
ones reputation upon the assertion
that Thanksgiving is a strictly re-
lligious feast. 1t is day of prac-
teal rejoicing in the good things
of this world, and there may even
be people whose mouth are fuller
of turkey than their hearts OF
thanks. But every year the area
of the feast enlarges. Every
year there are more people who
sit down to "groaning boards"
as the reporters happily express
it, upon occasions of civic festivity.
Dear old Thanksgiving! Long
and long may his hospitable
board spread. Long and long
may he stand, benignant, at his
door, calling in the poor and the
weary, the blind and the lame.
even as the old Puritans called III
Massasoit and ninety other saw
ages. Rich in blessings and rev.
erend in years, may good old
Thanksgiving last with the con-
tinent, knitting closer the ties of
family and friendship; its cheer
fulness beaming like the smile of
patriarch; its charity burning
like central fire, warming all the
year and lighting up every dark
day of care and sorrow.

The Oldest And best

The Saturday Ereniag Post,
Philadelphia, enjoys the proud
distinction of being the oldest
family and literary paper in
America, if not IN the world. Or
iginally established by Benjamin
Franklin in l729, and appearing
in its present character in 1921, it
has had an uninterrupted career
of l5S years! As its originator,
Franklin, was one of the first men
+ of his time, or any time, both in
ability and eminence, The Post
has ever tried TO follow It's found

The history of The Post is
the history of American litera-
ture and authorship. Not to
speak of those who previous to and
after the War of the Revolution
made it a power in the land, since
1921 there is hardly a writer ia
nous in the world of letters whose
works have not adorned its pages.
Among these may be mentioned
Horace Greedy, Dickens, Mrs.
Southworth, Poe, Halleck, Bryant,
7. S. Arthur, Ned Buntline, Gil
more Simms, Ann S. Stephens,

of literature, it has never once
failed in its long career to go forth
as a weekly missionary into hun

families in all quarters of the land,
the most welcome and cheerful of
visitors.
For the coming year The Post
has secured the best writer's of
this country and Europe, in prose
and verse, fact and fiction. In
these respects as in the past it will
