There ives lively scene o. police
headquarters about 5 O'Clock yester.
day afternoon. Desk Sergeant Ar
cher and Ben Hoffman, fellow
charged with vagrancy, were the
participants. 1t lasted one reund.
Archer won. Hoffman, who says
he has resided in Rock leland over
twenty years, and is employed in
steam boating, was taken in by Officer
Ryan. He was carrying . fair load
of hop extract, and he was decidedly
eloquent in his use Of brasphemy.
He eulogized the copper who was
guiding him to the cooler in lam
guage shat would cause . doorknob
to blush. When he was turned over
to the desk sergeant he proceeded to
dress him down. Hoffman was told
that he was not helping along
his ease BY abusing she Of
ficers. He replied that he
knew how far he was permitted to
assert his rights IS an American citi-
zen. and was preparing to deliver an
address when Officer Archer request
ed him to hold up his arms until he
relieved him Of his vAluables and
weapons.
hoffman appeared indignant ct the
proposition. No, indeed; he would
not permit anyone to 70 through his
pockets. The officer saw that il was
necessary for him to handle hoff-
man. SO he took him by the collar
and started to lead him over to the
desk. when the obstreperous hobo
separated the guardian Of the peace
from about yard Of his shirt. and
then put up bis dukes with the CON-
mand that the battle proceed. Hoff-
man continued to blaspheme the
officer. Hoffman was again admon-
ished to behave himself. Officer
Archer finally found that there was
only one way to handle his man.
He again took hold of Hoffman. The
hobo made q pass at him. The on.
Ger wss not in the best Of humor,
anyway, after having had his shirt
torn, aud he landed his right on
Hohman's face. The amber began
to flow. Hoffman then became like
unto . wild man. Archer handed
him another, which staggered the
hobo and took all the oonceit out Of
him as to his ability as pugilist.
Hoffman was searched. Then he
was taken to q cell, where he re-
mainsd until this morning. There
was crepe over his left glimmer when
he was taken before Magistrate Stat
ford and his physiognomy showed
evidence Of colliding with a bunch
Of knuckles about the size of Officer
Archer's. Hoffman is charged with
vagrancy and resisting An oficsr.
He plead not guilty and asked for q
trial by jury. He will be accommo-
dated.
Twenty Days For Martin.
James Martin, another hobo, ar
rested by Officer Ryan. was given 20
days for vagrancy by Magistrate
Stafford. Martin was one Of . crowd
Of Weary Williss who had . pitched
battle in the alley back of Second
avenue and between Nineteenth and
Twentieth streets yesterday after.

Thanksgiving Day in the Revolution.

In Revolutionary days Thanksgiving
was not forgotten. The Council OF
Massachusetts recommended that
November 16, 1776, be set apart for
Acknowledgements for fhercies en-
joyed." In the next year Samuel
Adams, OF Massachusetts,, recon-
mended form of Thanksgiving Day
proclamation to the Continental Con
gress. During the war for independ-
ence the Congress ordered eight days
of Thanksgiving. They fell in April,
May, July and December. These eight
several appointments were made by
the Continental Congress in the form
of recommendation to the executive
heads of the several State governments,
reciting the occasion which prompted
the observance. With only single
exception, Congress suspended busi-
ness on the days appointed for Thanks
giving
Washington issued proclamation
for general thanksgiving by the Con-
tinental Army, Thursday, December
18, 1777, and again at Valley Forge,
May ITS. A few days before the
adjournment OF Congress, in Septem-
ber, 1889, Representative Elias Bon
dinot moved in the House that the
President be requested to recon-
mend day of public thanksgiving
and prayer, in acknowledgment of the
many signal favors of Almighty God,
and especially his affording them the
opportunity, peaceably, to establish a
constitution of government for their
safety and happiness.
Roger Sherman, of Connecticut, sup
ported the motion, Cavillers were ready
to oppose it. In spite of objections
the motion was carried, aud President
Washington issued o proclamation, ac-
cordingly, on October 3, 1889, ap-
pointing as Thanksgiving Day Novem-
ber 26, succeeding.
The Book of Common Prayer, re-
vised in 1889 for the use of the Pro-
testant Episcopal Church in America,
directs that the first Thursday of
November, unless another day be ap-
pointed by the civil authorities, "be
observed as a day of Thanksgiving to
Almighty God for the fruits of the
earth" etc.

THANKSGIVING AND EATING.

How the Popular Observance Of the Hol.
iday Originated.
1t is little strange that our earliest
national holiday, the one at least
which had its origin in the very early
days of our country, should always be
associated with the dinner table.
Thanksgiving Day and Thanksgiving
Day dinner are synonymous terms
with a great many people.
We have good precedent for this,
however, for as early as 1921 the re-
nowned Governor Bradford, after the
first harvest of the colonies at Ply
mouth, sent four men out fowling,
that on the Thanksgiving day he had
appointed they might, "after more
special manner, rejoice together" We
have continued that especial manner
of rejoicing ever since. -,
1t is probably due to the fact that
those early Thanksgiving Day fowlers
CHANGED to bring down a generous
supply of plump wild turkeys that we
have immortalized the turkey OF later
days, making it our national Thanks
giving Day bird.
Governor Bradford also gave all OBJ
iect lesson at that first Thanksgiving
Day festival of the hospitality which
is preached to us now on all sides.
lie entertained, so history relates,
the "greatest King Massaoyt" and
ninety Indians, and they feasted for
three days.
II there is q lesson for the house
wives from those days, it is certainly
one of industry. Priscilla's real life
was not all poetry. There were four
women. one servant, and few maids
to prepare and serve the three days
feast for the colonists and their lndi'
an guests.
New York celebrated her first
Thanksgiving Day in manner some
what different. It may have been q
difference in the race or in the times,
for il was twenty.three years later, in
1914, that it is related that the Dutch
citizens of New York killed nearly 800
indians and then marched home and
"cheerfully," ate their Thanksgiving
Day dinners.
We unfortunately do not know Of
what the dinner consisted that day,
but il was probably very similar. to the
bounteous fare Of ordinary days, toi
Christmas and New Years were the
only great Dutch holidays.
In New England, at one time, they
kent the day before and the day after
Thanksgiving as fast days. : 1t was
sensible action, for hygienic reasons,
il all their dishes were as elaborate OF
old recipes show some to have been.
