FOREFAIHERS' DAY
Observed by Unity CIub-Essays by Judge
Hall and Miss Dana

Unity Club more than filled it's COM
Portable rooms at the court house,
Monday evening, on tne occasion of its
special programme in honor of Fore
fathers day The Founders of New
England" was the theme of song, essay
and address.
The exercises began with singing
Landing of the Pilgrims by a chorus
of young ladies. This was followed by
the reading of Robinson Of Lyden'' by
Prof. 4. II. Brainard
The address by Judge Hall was
scholarly and instructive lac condi-
tions existing in the old world. the
religious thoughts. and the contention
for freedom therein, We're carefully re.
viewed. The situations from which
| the Pilgrims flea, and their approach to
an unknown shore were finely told.
Then was shown what they had ac-
complished by conscientious fidelity to
duty; by pluck in staying here.
They established a government which
had no semblance to that of any other
country. The republics had been
founded for the few upon aristocracy
of wealth, or of wealth and education.
That of New England was based on
equal suffrage. The Pilgrims estab-
,t,,,t
instituted reform in criminal law,
and, from the list of crimes punishable
by death, struck out las leaving only
nine capital offences, and formed the
law almost as it exists today.
Another important measure traceablr
| to the Pilgrims is a change of law re
lating to descent Of real estate. From
| the inheritance through long lines of
male descendent the estates We're
caused to he shared by both sons and
daughters This law also remains, al
though in a somewhat different form.
The influence of the integrity and
faith of the Pilgrims upon various in
stitutons. and effect of the good seed
which was sown by that little band
was pointed out in the clear, graceful
way. which showed a thorough knowl-
edge and a deep interest in the sub
| iect in hand.
| Miss Danas paper was excellent, as
usual. No scholar is more apprecative
of the good wherever found than in
Miss Dana. In her own pleasing style
she told of the intellectual life of tn,
Pilgrims: OF their inheritance little as
il was of literary character-at least
as far as possession of books was con
lcerned. for all told there We're only some
800 when they landed upon this now
literate land.
In Miles Standish's library there were
only three books. The famous Brews-
ter library did better with 392 volumes
most of which are in existence, today
lished after 1920. So most of the teach
| ing was done without teXt-bookS-or
the mothers knee for the most part
into a later age than at the present
time. IT was TO the ministers that the
Pilgrims received much of their in
Struction.
Miss Dana outlined in a delightful
manner the characteristics OF the Pill
grims, and their way of living, and al
so gave history of the early schools

THANKSGIVING DAY EUROPE.
Baked Beans. Glace, and "Bounkih

Baked Beans, G1ace, and "Bounkin
Pie PAmeric sine."
A few years ago one of the diplomatic
corps in Paris complimented some Amer
lean visitors by giving a Thanksgiving
dinner. He made some elaborate re-
searches regarding our national customs
as applied to the day and with help of his
chef offered among other things baked
beans, we'll thinned with custard and
frozen. The GROWING glory of the feast
was pumpkin pie. Its crust was shing-
ly puff paste fully an inch thick. The
pumpkin was merely filmy glaze upon
the paste, with taffy-like consistency
that made it cling to the eaters teeth.
The chef must have impaired the secret
to the national pie, at least in part, to
others of his craft, for little later 4
well-known restaurateur announced on
a little placard at his establishment:
"Bounkin Pie la Americana"
In Berlin the traveller will find, if he is
there in November, an addition to the
menu of some places of refreshment The
addition is a flourishing announcement to
Americans that Indian buildings, bean
buildings, pumpkin tarts, and other delica-
cies, which the waiter will affably say
are IOT the IALueTlcdu DunkSSlFlUS, out
which only resemble the originals they
initiate as the mist resembles the rain
Foreign restaurants pride themselves
upon catering to American customers
tastes, but their TRANSACTIONS are striking
and worked out laboriously from the die
tionary. One Berlin hotel proudly put
upon the MENU. False hair stewed Amer
lean fashion" 1t requires some penetra-
ton to discover that a dish of smothered
beef known to us as mock rabbit is
meant.
A Russian of wealth and position hav-
ing gathered accurate knowledge of In
dian corn and the ways it should be serv-
ed some years ago. invited some English
and American friends to dinner and, after
little preliminary boast of the success
his gardner had made in cultivating the
vegetable, presented his guests with tiny
immature cobs an inch and a half long,
boiled till tender and served like aspara-
gus tips with rich cream dressing. An
American present found it difficult to
maintain a circumspect gravity when the
hostess asked him if it was true that in
America this corn was always eaten with
the fingers, for in view of the dripping
ears she was daintily lifting, one at a
time, upon her fork. he had to assure her
that she was eating it in the only proper
manner
