AThANKSGIvING DINNER IN 1921
Pilgrims Banquet to Indian Chiefs
Was Fit to Set Before a King.

Was Fit to Set Before a King.
"rhe state dinner of the occasiOn-the
real Thanksgiving dinner-took place on
Saturday, the last day of the celebration.
writes Clifford Howard Of 1.-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 nppetiz-
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 and
companions rcpast rs sumptuous ana
tempting as it was varied and delightful.
Foremost of all there was roast turkey,
dressed with bccchnuts; then came rare
venison pasties, savory meat stews with
dumplings of barley flour, delicious oys-
tiers (thc gift of the Indians, and the first
ever tas,ed 10y the white men) great bowls
of clam chowder with sea biscuit floating
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 a large basket
overlooking with wild grapes and pums
and nuts of every variety.
ut was the time of the Indian summer.
The soft, mellow sunlight shone warmly
through the drowsy haze, illumining the
somber woodland with rich golden light,
while the gentle winds Of the south, laden
with the sweet perfumes of the forest,
came as Il 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 thlt the Provider of all things had
given them"

GIVING THANKS.

A quaint, brown house. just out of town
We young folks know the way
It's there, each year. with Grandma Dow,
We keep Thanksgiving day.
A host of uncles. cousins, aunts,
Gathered from far and near,
The wandercr from home returns
To greet his kindred dear.
So great the crowd, SO small the house,
IT'S full to bursting, quite;
But grandma says, "There's room for all
Who may with us unite"
And round the cheerful hearth where we.
AS children, loved to play,
With many merry song and jest
We keep Thanksgiving day.
Then ''ting-a-ling." the dinner he'll
Summons us, one and all;
To hasten to the laden board,
Nor wait the second call.
The turkey, roasted to turn,
The place OF honor takes;
Here, too. such doughnuts, puddings, pies
AS only grandma makes
And seated thus, each one recounts
The blessings of the year:
The dangers passed, the hearts made glad
We give attentive ear.
Then on the youngest papa calls.
'Come, Ned. tits your turn now"
Cries Ned, "Is thankful as can be
That Yves got Grandma Down.

SO "Boze" returned home triumphant
with turkey and money and the Tollivers
had as big a feed as anyone. And all be-
cause "Boze" had cultivated knack for
rifle shooting. AS he said to himself at

choked with ''stufiin':

or bait to know the methods of obtain
ng them when the weather is dry and
ihe bait hides deep in the ground. If
strong salt water or an infusion of tan
nin or walnut husks is sprinkled on the

Again, if stakes or spades are driven
deep into the soil and shaken violently,
the operation frequently calls the angle

 Rev. R. T. Cooper, former pastor of the EpWorth M. P. church, is delight fully situated with his new charge at Lyons, Wayne county New York. MT. Cooper was recently called to become pastor of the Methodist church there, a strong church. The Wayne Demo- crat of Lyons of a recent date has the following:
 '"The reception at the Methodist church last Thursday evening, given to Rev. M. S. Wells and Rev. R. T. Cooper, was largely attended. The church parlors were taxed to their utmost capacity. A bountiful repast was served during the early part of the evening, after which the following programme was rendered. Prayer singing by J. E. Wesley; addresses of welcome were made by F. H. Gardner in behalf of the official board; G. A. Andrews for the Sunday school, and Everett McClelland for the Epworth league. Earnest responses were made by both pastors. MT Gardner then presented to MT. Wells, in behalf of his Sunday school class, a handsome silver cup and saucer manufactured especially for MT. Wells at the Man haitian factory; also a beautiful lamp for MT, and Mrs. Wells from the ladies of the church. The earnest words of the recipient manifested a deep appreciation of these tokens of friendship. A vocal solo was rendered by Miss Mary Robinson. Several pas tors of other churches were present, and letters of regret were read from number of others who were unable to be present."

 There was large attendance at the opening basket ball game of the season in the armory Saturday evening be- tween the Wallingfords and the New Britain Regulars, national champions. The game was a. hustling one from start to finish and resulted in @ decisive vic- tory for New Britain by a score of 33 to F. The score at the end of the first half was Il to in favor of the visitors, but in the last half the champions had everything their own way and scored 22 to the Wallingfords' 6. The local team played a lively game, but were clearly oVermatched as far as team work was concerned, and the throwing for goal was not accurate. Another feature was the failure to cover their men. as several of the New Britains' goals were made by passing the ball from one to another and caging it with out any interference from the Walling- ford players, who were not in position to prevent the plays. The next game is on Friday evening, November 26, With the Fanwoods of Yonkers, N. Y.
