THANKSGIVING DAY.

The first Thanksgiving Day appointed
by Governor Bradford, in 1921, was on &C
count of the cheering fact that the harvest
had been such that the colonists were
certain of something to eat. Ever since
then eating has been one of the most con.
spicuous features of Thanksgiving Day
and to many it is the chief feature-the
thing to be most thankful for. Aud such
Thanksgiving dinners as the good house
wives of New England get up are indeed
something to be thankful for. They offel
ample and glorious satisfaction to the
sharp appetite of the young and stimu.
late the elders to new feats of digestion.
Whatever damage they may do to
those who overrate land overeaD their
capacity is not to be compared to the good
they do in the way of promoting good feel
ing and sweetening the acerbity of life.
Thanksgiving Day has always been day
of feasting and making merry, and former.
ly it had also distinctly and deeply reli-
gious character. The colonists were not
only thankful that they had something to
eat, but they were thankful to God for it,
and they were strongly mindful of their
obligation to God for his gifts. 1t was
pretty serious business for them to
carry on their lives in new coun-
try, and their situation helped to make
them sober and pious. 1t is not
to be denied that those who are
now reaping what the eolonists sowed
are not as sober minded or as thor
oughly pious as they might be. They
have prospered and waxed fat. Many OF
them could have turkey and plum pud-
ding every day If they wanted it, and
they do not see as close a connection be-
tween their blessings and God as the
pious and anxious colonists did between
God and their blessings. Times have
changed. There is no record that the
colonists altered the time set for their re-
igious services on Thanksgiving Day in
order to get to football game early, OF
omitted the religious services entirely, as
will be done to- day in the West Presby-
terian church of New York city. There

do not think that the change in
"the times" has been for the bet
ter. They still stick to the
old idea that Thanksgiving
Day should be the day of home reunions and
home pleasures rather than day of fever
ish seeking of "fun" on the football field,
in the theatre, or wherever else 1t is of
fered. And they think it wouldn't do even
the smart and ambitious "rising genera
tion" any harm to go to Injecting" for an
hour on Thanksgiving Day and have the
goodness of God brought to their minds
by services especially calculated to cal
their attention to it. But there will be
comparatively few at the churches to-day
and most of the thankfulness will not, we
fear, be of a very pious quality. Still
there are many homes where it will be, and
where pure family love will be sweetened
and elevated by love of God. 1t is in such
homes that Thanksgiving Day is most rea
| and beneficial.

AROUT SGAGS.,,

1t is announced that certain we'll known
comedians are about to take steps to have
the ''gags" they use in their plays copy
righted. If they would at the same time
take steps to have them worth copyright
ing it would be good for those who feel
obliged to hear them. And they might
also, without harm to the drama, abolish
entirely what are known as slocal gags"
These slocal gags" are rarely even funny,
and they are often vulgar and offensive.
We have been pleased to see that there is
growing disposition to resent this kind
of "gagging." Not long ago we'll known
firm of minstrels was brought into court
in Pennsylvania city for having made
what passed for fun of citizen of the
place. And the other evening In Syracuse
very summary retribution was visited on a
''gagger." Those who have been annoyed
by being made the subjects of 'local
gag" will heartily thank the Syracuse man
for the way he resented the liberty taken
with him. One of the funny men of the
troupe was standing on the stage near the

leader. The part of the latter was mainly
to make remarks which enabled the former
to deliver side-splitting replies. After the
atmosphere had been Illuminated with
flashes Of wit for some time the manipulat-
or of the violin introduced the name of q
we'll known citizen of Syracuse. This
citizen happened to be in the audi
ence. He occupied an end seat
near the stage. He was angry. He
rose to his feet, strobe rapidly to the or
chestra railing, swung his good right arm
in the air and administered q sounding
slap to the side of the offending musicians
face. The latter was astonished and
pained. For a moment he hardly knew
what had happened, and by the time h
had recovered his scattered senses the In
dignant citizen had returned to his seat
The episode was of such brief duration
that very few peoplein the theater realized
its character or cause, and the regular per
formanoe was quickly resumed, the orches

there was rest in the music.
This incident will enable one comedial
and his musical helper to understand hov
some folks look upon "local gags" It

RevepgefuI Raccoons.


You talk about animals being revengeful
and murderous, said George Sturch, of
Bayville, o., who is stopping at the Ls-
| land. know of a case that sets my mind
at rest on that point. Now l was few
months ago the happy possessor of two
| raccoons. l kept them chained up in my
| back yard although they were fairly tame.
| No one was allowed to feed them but my
self, as 1 took this method of obtaining
their good will. Well, watched those
| two animals for about thirty-fve days.
| Then came the climax. When l first
bought them they were good friends.
| noticed that they often laid side by side i'd
seeming perfect friendship. Then cool
ness sprang up between them, and they
i avoided one another constantly to tine ends
| of their chains. 1t was all because 1 often
threw meat to them, and the smaller and
nimbler coon of the two got the largest
| share The other could not reach the
meat first, as the chains length would not
permit.
Well, things went on for about a month,
the little one always securing the larger
portion. One day, just after had thrown
them a few chunks of meat, 1 stood
watching them eat. The little coon, as
usual, had secured the largest portion.
They had finished eating, and were moving
about near me, expecting more, when all
at once the smaller was seized in the
clutches of the first, and deadly strug-
gle began. The little one was seized by
the throat, while being held firmly in the
paws of the lsrger. and chewed 30 vi
ciously that was compelled, out of sym
psthy, to shoot it. 1t was only by using a
club that succeeded in driving the larger
one off. Shortly sfterward 1 sold the re-
manning one, and that will be my last s1-
perience with animal pets of any kind.
No one can tell me but what that miser-
able big coon simply brooded over his
troubles until he became resolved to kill
the little one But, at any rate, 1 don't
care anything about rsccOons hereafter;
they are too revengeful.
