INSTINCT OR REASON.
An Instance That Proves the Horse
Rational Being.

An Instance That Proves the Horse n
Rational Being.
ut is a mistaken idea that none but
human beings can reason and that
dumb animals have not that power"
said Prof. Albert a Palmer of Buffalo.
81 am fully prepared to dcmonstr; tc
that the animals inferior to man have
reasoning faculties. and that what
is generally termed instinct plays an
important part in their doings and ac-
tionS.
LET me give IL simple example. l
have Il friend named Downin, who
owns a string Of valuable race horses.
In his string isa horse known as Speed
west A day or SO before Il race in
which the horse is entered he generally
sends him out on the track mounted by
stabic-boy for IL little preparatory
work This horse will no. tnllc kindly
to his work, ana no amount Of per-
suasion with whip or spur cun get him
away from Il common clIt"r. noticed
this popularity in the animal, and one
day suggested to Downing that per-
haps the horse knew that lie was not
expected to race and for that reason
could not understand exactly what
was required of him prevailed upon
him to dress the stablc-boy in the colOrs
usually worn in Il race and try the
horse again. lie did so, and the boy
was placed in front OF the animal for IL
moment that he might see the cOlors
The result WIS that w,ltn the boy
mounted again the horse broke at the
word of command and set Off at Il long,
swinging gallop which he increased to
a run, finishing the work under IL
strong pull. Another stublc boy was
put up without the colors, and the
horse refused to leave the looping gate
at which he started out. \ second
time the colors were used and again
the animal set out at /, rate of speed
calculated to break record
"Whnt do you call that instinct or
reasoning? | contend that the horse
had rational faculty which he
exercised at will. lie knew that with
out the colors he had nothing in par

q swift run. When the colors were put
on, the horse reasoned that there was
some object in view lie reasoned that
he was already prepared for race
and made his pace accordingly without
being urged. st Louis Globe Demo.

Frobshcr, to whom belongs the honor
of bringing the first English colony tc
settle on these shores. This was per.
haps the first Christian sermon
preached and the first celc bration OF
the Holy Communion In North
America.
The earliest record OF any observance
of Il similar service within the present
territory of the United States was held
by the popham colony, who settled at
Sagadahoc. on the coast of Maine, in
August, 1901 This service was con-

unfurlcd the proud flag Of England
and laid the foundations Of free
Christian state with prayer and thanks
giving. Their charter was unrolled
and read before all the people, after
which sermon was preached by
Rev Richard Seymour. This was thir
teen years before the landing Of the
Pilgrims at. Plymouth and three
months after the landing of the COM
pany at jamestown in Virginia. At
the same time they held the first pop
ular election in the territory Of the
United States, and the first officers
elected to govern an American COM
monwealth were chosen.
The Pilgrim Fathers anchored in tho
harbor of Plymouth, Mass, Saturday,
December Q 60 S., 1920. Monday De-
cember II 20. S.), landing was made
upon what is called "Forefather's
Rock" During the long dreary winter
which followed, forty-six of the one
hundred and ono settlers died and had
been buried on the bluff overlooking
the place Of their landing
November 8, 1921, the ship Fortune
arrived bringing an addition of thirty
five persons. The Pilgrims had gath
cred their crops from twenty acres of
corn and from six acres of barley and
peas; the cold weather had brought
into the harbor an abundance Of water
fowl, and deer and wild turkeys were
found in the forests near the settle
ment. About this time Gov. Brad.
ford gave direction for the observance
of day of thanksgiving to be held
December IS, lG2l 70. ST..
From that time the observance of u
day of thanksgiving occurred with
more or less regularity in Plymouth
colony and later among the settlers at
Salem and Massachusetts Bay.-L. L.

the children and grandchildren had
promised to come home for regular
good, old,fashioned time. and at the
last moment letters and kilograms
came which proved beyond doubt
chat not one of them could come!
After the first outburst Of grief and
dismay was over. another perpleXity
stared them in the face. Here was tho
whole delightful old farmhouse ready
for tho expected guests four chambers
with beds aired and beautifully made
up. to say nothing of the dear old trun-
dlo-bed and cradle brought down from
The attic for the baby grandchildren.
The plunipest. latest of little pigs was
ready to roast in the big brick oven, a
turkey that never could be surpassed
was ready for its oyster dressing, while
there were rows upon rows Of tooth
somc mince, pumpkin, apple and cram
berry pies on the pantry shelves. There
were cookies enough in the big stone
JARS to last those blessed grandchildren
month, on the lowest shelf, just as
handy rs could be for the little dears to
help themselves, to say nothing of the
frosted cakes and everything that could
be dreamed of for the great feast. This
was to be an especial occasion; the very
6rst time it had seemed possible for
them TO- think OF such thing since
dear little Nat had gone home to
Heaven. What could be done with all
these vast preparations!
AS the dear old people sat before the
bright open fire talking the matter
over, accepting the great disappoint-
ncnt, us people learn to who have had
plenty of them all the way through
life. the cat, which had been frolicking
about in most unbecoming way for
one of her years, gave u spring at littlc
Mats crutches, which stood in the
corner. and they tumbled down with a
great clattcr Instantly bright flash
swept ovse Father Gray's ruddy face.
20 wife believe Nat has sent us a
message from Heaven. You know about
che Bible feast, bringing them in from
che highways and hedges. The pig.
and turkey, and pies and buildings
have got to be eaten. Suppose we
have a fresh air Thanksgiving party,
for dozen poor afflicted fellows like
our Nat, no: too sick to c"f, mind you.
but halt and laiue, and blind and mis-
cradle"
You blessed old dear" exclaimed
Mother Gray, actually getting up and
going over to her spouse and giving
him an atfectionnte hug and several
kisses. Nothing could be better than
that Perhaps it's providence after
all that none Of our children could
come, so we could DO this beautiful
ching for some Of the Lords afflicted
ones"
The clock struck ten eleven before
they eo' through with al! their talk
aud plans for Tie jolly sord t;r,c they
would give the poor unfortunates for
Mats sake.
Father Gray wouldn't trust Il letter.
but went 20 The city himself the next
dav and had talk with the GOOD mig.
