History Of the First Observance
OF Our National Holiday.
What the Hamilton Letters Reveal - A
Broken Nose and an Oath Caused
: the Turkey to Become
Thanksgiving Bird
COPYRIGHT, fSAt

ICOPyRIGHT, 1SsAi
The first national Thanksgiving day
S-er observed by the United states OF
America owes its historic interest
mainly to one broken nose and an oath
To the oath we owe the supremacy OF
The turkey as our national feast day
bird, and to the broken nose we owe
The only evidence that has come down
to us that George Washington ever
swore Yet all these important things
are collateral to the main fact that we
narrowly escaped losing Thanksgiving
bitter all, and that all the famed men OF
that day got into very bitter quarrel
pvcr it and ate turkey dinner at Gag
gers drawn, SO to speak.
, The idea of having such national
holiday at all originated in the fertile
brain of Alexander Hamilton. Hamil-
ton was then secretary of the treasury,
and in August of 1879 he preached the
matter at one of the meetings of Pres
iGent Washington's ca binet. This much
re know from the correspondence OF
Zen. Knox, and in spite OF the hlstor-
!cal interest attending a most unique
episode in our history, the whole mat
Ter is involved in more or less obscurity
and the worn old tones that tell II all
lie IN dusty hooks on library shelves
The late Gen. Hamilton, whose death
30 recently threw many notable New
York families into mourning, had a
very full collection OF the correspOn-
Hence bearing upon the celebration
of this republics first Thanksgiving.
TO be sure, there had been Thanksgiv-
ings in this country from time imlne-
mortal before our government was
born, but the first celebration of gen.
ninely national character was the one
appointed by George Washington OF
glorious memory. This correspondence
Is now in the possession of the Schuyler
Aaniltons and is authority for vast
amount of hitherto unpublished his
tory.
It was In September, 1889, that the
matter was brought TO the attention
of congress. Representative BoudinOt,
of New England, moved that IN view
of the blessings so abundantly be-
slowed on the country by the Al
mighty, day of Thanksgiving be set
apart by the president. The resolu-
ton was supported by Representative
Sherman, of Connecticut, but it aroused
violent opposition. Many members Of
congress denounced the proposition as
effete nnd monarchical, and we have
the authority of Representative M'zh-
lenberg, of Pennsylvania, for the state
ment that some of the members grew
so personal in their discussions of the
matter that blows were exchanged on
the streets of New York. 1t appears
from the Hamilton letters, and the fact
win certainly surprise the historians,
that jefferson and Hamilton hnme-
diately differed as TO the desirability
pf the holiday Jefferson, as appears
from his letters, was opposed to the

Sunshine Means Sense.

I never like to see man 'rastiing
with the dumps cause in the game of
life he doesen't always catch the
trumps: but L can always cotton to a
free and easy cuss, as takes his dose,
and thanks the Lord it isn't any wuss.
There amt no use o. kickin' and swear
ing at your luck; yer can't correct the
trouble more'n you can drown a duck.
Remember, when beneath the load
your suffering head is bowed, that God
ill sprinkle sunshine in the trail of
every cloud.
If you should see fellow man with
troubles flag unfurled, and lookin' like
he didn't have friend in all the world
go up and slap him on the back, and
holler chow d'you do" and grasp his
hand so warm he'll know he has a
friend in you. Then ak him what's a
hurtin' i'm, and laugh his cares away,
and tell him that the darkest night is
just afore the day. Don't talk in
graveyard palavar, but say it right out
aloud, that God ii sprinkle sunshine in
the trail of every cloud.
This world at best is but hash
of pleasure and Of pain; some days are
bright and sunny, and some all sloshed
with rain; and that's just how it ought
to be, for when the clouds roll by We'll
know just how to 'preciate the bright
and smiling sky. So learn to take il
as it comes, and don't sweat at the
pores because the Lords opinion
doesn't coincide with yours; but always
keep rememberin', when cares your
path enshroud, that God has lots OF
sunshine to spill behind the Clouds

KEEP HUMPIN.. !"

1 remember the time when lad,
An lived the farm with ma and dad,
In the long days how I'd have to hoe,
Out in the corn field, after
How I'd think of the fishes that lay in the brook,
An just a-lOFajn' to take my hook
An line, an sprawl by that ole trout stream,
For loved in them days to loaf an to dream
An watch the fish a-iumpin'
Then I'd groan an bemoan my unfortunate lot,
I'd go to my father an say, Its so hot
Can't the corn an pertatoes wait well as not2''
But my father, he'd say
In a stern sort of way
"Keep humpin'."
Then I'd work with will till Zach sep'rate row,
Stood forth without airy weed to show.
An each little rock would duly install
In its own proper mich in the ole crumblin' wall,
An I'd say to my father, proud as could be-
s'Pve finished my work dad" an then in high glee
Off I'd go, skippen an jumpin;
Then he'd say ats well done exceptin' one spot:
Now bring down them cows from the north pasture
lot
There's no time to shirk-a farmer has got
$50 my father would saw
In stern sort of way
Keep humpin."
Take this for your maxim, and may it eer be
Deep-seated and firm the roots of the tree:
Whatever your work, whether peddling corn
Salve or door-mats, or tootin' horni
Or sellin' of clothes line or cloth by the yard,
You'll find that your duty'll be much the less hard,
If you put to your labor the heft of your soul;
Half-hearted won't win--yOu can't reach the goal
By occasional skippin' an jumpin'
If you're fully determined my friend to "git there,
You mustn't sit down by the wayside and swear;
You can glther more courage from fervant prayer,
And as father would say,
In stern sort of way,
