ANTEDATES THE PILGRIMS,
Our Thanksgiving Day Really Had Its
Origin in the Harvest Home of Merrie
England.

Our Thanksgiving Day Really Had Its
Origin in the Harvest Home of Merrie
England.
1t is sometimes claimed that Thanks
giving day is exclusively an American
institution, all of which is not wholly
true. Long before the Pilgrim Fathers
braved the storms of the Atlantic in
the memorable year 1920, the land
from which they came had made much
of the ingathering of the harvest.
The Harvest Home cele brations of Mer-
RE England were occasions not to be
disposed. The churches were crowded
with worshipers, the finest specimens
of the produce of the fields were
heaped about the altar and the day be-
gan by the recognition of the Divine
goodness that had made the land tc
bring forth abundantly, that had
clothed the hills with flocks and made
the valleys smile with golden corn.
Then came the feastings and the mer.
rymaking, the music and the dancing
All the land was glad and grateful.
The spirit of the Harvest Home" was
in the fathers and founders of the
great republic. They believed in God
with belief that was strong enough
to inspire their motives and govern all
their life. They wrote His name in
broad bold characters on Plymouth
Rock. and laid the foundations of this
great empire in the fear and faith of
Him. Out of all this sprung our ma
tional institution Of Thanksgiving
day; the form of which changes with
other changing elements; but the spirit
of which we may well hope will never
die.-Sat urday Evening Herald.

MURDER AND SUICIDE.

A Chicago Landlady Killed by q Boarder
Whom She Had Forbidden the House
The Murderer Then Takes His Own Life
Domestic Trouble at the bottom Of the
Tragedy-A Brave Little Boy.
CHICAGO, Nov. 17.-At o'clock yes
terday afternoon j. J. Higgins, an
electrician, killed Mrs. Katie Nc
Laughlin, of 322 West Monroe street,
and shortly afterward committed sui
eide.
Higgins boarded with Mrs. McLaugh-
lin, and for some reason was asked to
leave the house. AS he had position
with the General Electric Co.. and had
lived with Mrs. Mclaughlin for a long
time, it must have been for some other
reason than the nonpayment of board.
The lady has lived on West Monroe
street for four months, and had Hig-
gins for boarder in two other houses.
On Carpenter street, it is said, Mr.. Nc
Laughlin threw the boarder out of the
house.
Since leaving Carpenter street Mr..
Mclaughlin has resided at Ats Fulton
street and apart from his wife. He waa
formerly manufacturer of gas stoves,
but is now foreman for George L. Rood,
in a similar business. His living apart
from his wife gives foundation to the
rumor that something besides money
eide of last evening.
Higgins shot at Mrs. Mclaughlin
four times, the first three shots going
astray. The fourth fire did the muir
derous work. AS the woman fell, her
little 11-year-old son Willie, ran to at
tack Higgins, who was very large
man, 35 years old. The man shot the
last bullet out of his revolver at the
little boy but missed him. The little
fellow ran out of the house, called a
doctor several doors away, and then
went a block further and got police
man.
Higgins left the house and walked
up the street until patrol wagon ar
rived, when he returned on the oppo-
site side of the street, and standing
with his face to the house where the
murdered woman lay, fred four bull
lets into his own head. His body was
removed to the county morgue.
P. J. Mclaughlin, the husband, was
notified and came to the house. He
wished to make an immediate search
of the house for papers, but the police
interfered. He then wanted to take
his little boy away, but this was also
denied him. He refused to make any
statement and seemed very much over
come. The bravery, self-possession
and thought displayed by little Willie
was wonderful, and would do credit to
one many years his senior.

Uncle Joshua Concludes 1t Is About Time
He Remembered His Blessings
It all began by Aunt Mandy asking
Uncle Joshua, on Thanksgiving eve,
what she should have for dinner on
the morrow.
Don't see why we should hev any
thing different from any day." said
Uncle Joshua. It must be owned that
he was feeling little down. ana not
in very thankful mood.
''Why, Joshuy, it's Thanksgiving"
said Aunt Mandy. reprovingly.
Wall, all l can say is, then, that ace
amt no cause to celebrate"
"Joshuy Thornton" cried Aunt
Mandy, you amt no call to talk like
that jest because crops didn't turn out
good on account of drought, an because
old Brindle got killed. l guess if you
wuz laid up for months like Sam Hig-
gins, or l wuz took away, or our house
should burn down, you'd think that
bein' Disappointed in crops want moth

I've a good mind to hev the Higgins
children over here to dinner, an send
somethin' to the old folks. 1t kinder
seems to me that we'd ought to do
somethin' for somebody in remem-
brance of the things that's been done
to us
Now, Mandy. I should really like
to know what help ace'r8 ever had.
tell you, I've had to dig hard for the
little I've got. Nobody's ever died an
left as any money, or give us any to
help us out in our hard pinches. We've

other people do the same"
"But money amt the only way to
help people," said Aunt Mandy. II
wonder where you'd be to-day if John
Ellis didn't git you away from old
Farmer Jewett when you wuz a bound
boy, an took you home with him, an
treated you like father"
Gosh, that wuz the maxim Of me-"
said Uncle Joshua. softening.
''Of course it wuz. But you amt
never done nothin' in remen brance of
it yet"
II know it, said Uncle Joshua.
"An', come to think ont, there was
Abner Wilson, who used to set up with
me nights when had that long spell
of sickness, SOS you could git some
rest, an wouldn't take no pay"
"Yes," said Aunt Mandy, approx
ingly, IAN at the time of the freshet,
five year ago, Abe Taylor and John
Griswold turned in an helped you set
over your corn that the water had lain
low. They worked hard an wouldn't
take no pay for it, an you amt never
done nothin' in remembrance of that
yet, either"
Say. Mandy" said Uncle Joshua,
with an emphasis that seemed quite
unnecessary under the circumstances,
you jest git up the incest dinner to-
morrer that you kin possibly do, an
We'll give those Higgins young ones
jest the best time they ever had; an
I'll git the biggest basket on the farm
to fix up old Sam an his wife. Reckon

INCENDlARY FLAMES.
Winnipeg, Man.. Visited by Series Of
Costly Fires.

NOSCAy
WINNIPEG, Man, Nov. 17.-What is
believed to have been a series of in.
cendiary fires occurred Thursday
night, and yesterday morning and as a
result property valued at 100000 has
endestroyed. Between midnight and
6 o'clock no less than five alarms were
turned in for different fires. Among
the buildings burned was the Western
Canadian block, at the corner of Main
street and Portage avenue, where the
fire originated and the Grand Union
hotel on Princess street. The flames
crossed the street and destroyed the
large warehouse of Merriclz, Anderson
& Co. In addition to these buildings
number of smaller stores and dwellings
were burned.
The Western Canadian block was one
of the finest buildings in Winnipeg.
The ground story was occupied by
Wright Bros, importers OF English dry
goods, who carried a stock valued at
SIS, 900, and by Mitchell, the druggist.
whose loss will exceed $4,000. This
block was erected some five years age
at cost of s125, 900. the lower floor
being occupied by business firms, and
the upper five stories being fitted up
for offices occupied by insurance COM
panies and professional men. The loss
on Merrick Anderson & Co.'S ware
house is estimated at fully s125,OOO.

Strangely enough a week later Aunt

there is no one whom should be SO
glad to see as Jude-Jude, the brother
of James, we used to call him"-and
thereafter she and Mr.. Tolman re-
called SO many pleasant "reminiscences
of the wanderers boyhood and in
dulged in SO many suggestions as to
his home coming, that even doubtful
Mrs James found herself planning for
the advent of an elegant gentleman.

offered was none too good.
And Jane Bruce, the help, who as a
matter of course in those days was
made one of the family, listened and
put in word now and then and in
dulged in her own fancies regarding
the coming of her youthful lover.
Several distant relations were in

family party grew and grew, until, as

should experiment with her own favor
