ATHANKseIVINo DINNER IN 1921.
Pilgrims Banquet to Indian Chiefs
VAS Fit to Set Before Il King.

Pilgrims Banquet to Indian Chiefs
Was Fit to Set Before u King.
'The state dinner Of the occasion-the
real Thanksgiving dinner-took place on
Saturday, the last day of the celebration
writes Clifford Howard of The First
Thanksgiving Dinner" in America, in the
Ladies' Home Journal. ''NOtwithstand-
ing that the kitchens of these wilderness
homes were sadly wanting in many of the
most common essentials Of cookery, there
was no lack Of good things nor of appetiz-
ing dishes at this great feast. The earth,
the air and the water had yielded of their
bountiful supplies, and the good DANES
had done honor to their skill and ingenuity
by setting before their hungry guests ana
companions a repast as sumptuous ana
tempting as it was varied and delightful.
Foremost of all there was roast turkey,
dressed with beechnuts; then came rare
venison pasties, savory meat stews win
dumplings of barley flour, delicious oys-
tiers (the gift of the Indians, and the hrst
ever tasted by the white mem, great bowls
of clam chowder with sea biscuit toatlng
on the steaming broth, roasts of all kinds,
broiled fish, salads, cakes and plum por-
ridge; while the center of each of the long
tables was adorned with large basket
overfowing with wild grapes and piums
and nuts of every variety.
''It was the time of the Indian summer
The soft, mellow sunlight shone warmly
through the drowsy haze, illumining the
somber woodland with a rich golden light,
while the gentle winds of the south, laden
with the sweet perfumes Of the forest,
came as lingering dream of summer to
add to the joy and brightness of this
Thanksgiving feast Upon the balmy air
rose the hum of many voices and the
merry music of laughter, as the Pilgrims
with their Indian guests partook of the
feast that the Provider of all things had
given them"

Bozc n Good Shot.

Shooting for turkeys on Thanksgiving
is not confined entirely to the country.
Those people who recall the times in the
rural districts when they furbished up the
old squirrel rife or the family shotgun and
attended an old-fashioned turkey shoot
will be glad to know that there is chance
to accumulate n bird by prowess in marks
manship right here in town. 1t came, this
knowledge, like bright ray of sunshine
to ''Boze" Tolliver. "Boze" hailed from
Missouri and he had been in Chicago a
year. Times were tough and he and "the
old woman had hardly earned enough to
keep themselves and the family. "Boze'
had done teaming and odd jobs with his
horses, bat the fact was that right before
Thanksgiving Pete had the cupboard,
to use 4 Missouri phrase.
To be sure, "Boze" had half n dollar,
but that wouldn't provide Thanksgiv-
ing dinner for six hungry people. He
went cut on the street and wandered
along about six blocks, trying to think
what he would get The most of for 30

POSTAL BANKS BEST.

The Annual Report Of the Postmaster
General Goes Into the Subject Ex-

System Without Reserve.
Strong Argument Made.

The first annual report of Postmaster
General james A. Gary to the President
has been made public. Its feature is the
strong advocacy Of postal savings deposi-
tories, scheme over which Postmaster
General Gary has worked for many
months in the formulation of plans to pre-
sent to the President and Congress. He
says the time is ripe for their establish
ment, and that the adoption of we'll
organized system would confer a great
boon upon large number of people, and
ultimately be of inestimable benefit to the
whole country.
The estimates OF the revenue and ex-
penditures for the fiscal year ending June

Good News from Home.

The following advertisement appear,
ed in Detroit newspaper not long ago:
"Notice.-If - -, who is sup.
posed to be in Chicago, will communi-
cate with his friends at home, he will
hear Of something to his advantage
His wife is dead"
This, says the Cleveland Leader, must
have been written by the man who,
having been appointed by the members
of lynching party to notify the widow
Of their victim that they had made a
mistake, said to the stricken woman:
Il just came over to tell you that the
jokes on us. We hung the wrong
man."

ter till during the revolution, when Con-
grcss recommended the yearly appointing
of such day. In spite of this, though,
in the years intervening between 1874
and 1889 there were no Thanksgiving
days. In 1889 Washington issued
Thanksgiving proclamation in view of the
adoption of the Constitution and after
that to the time of Lincoln, the example
of the first President was intermittently
followed by his successors.
But only since 1858 can Thanksgiving
be said to have been fixed and universal
American custom, and in that year the
Governors of the different Southern
States united with their Eastern brother

Should Be Thankful.

Yes there are gloomy days of dark replning,
That sadly fit along on leaden wing,
And yet. somewhere. the sun is always shin
ing.
And every winter surely ends in spring.
Yes. there is pain and suffering heart-rerd-
ing,
And pitiful old age, grown faint and gray;
But young lives some to crown the old lives
ending
Think Of tine children in the world to-day!
Yes. there is war. God waits n little longer
Ere he will all thi, jarring strife subdue;
But human life to-day was never stronger,
And human hearts were never half so true.
Yes, in each life there will be bitter sorrow,
But It's not long-thiS space of mortal
breath;
There waits for each of us a grand to-mor-
row,
There waits for each the kindly night Of
death.
A world where sunbeams dance and birds
are singing.
Where violets never fail to come in May.

The World Will Be Anglo Saxon,

A French author comedies that the
world will become Anglo-Saxon, and
that this result will be accomplished
century FROM now, with the United
States at the front German writers,
however, by no means agree to this
view. They regard Germany as an ex-
