was destined to obtain in the history OF
America.
The first Thanksgiving differed very
materially from its successors IN tha'
It was proclaimed as fast and not as
a feast Supplies had run short, the
ships expected from England were de-
layed, and extinction threatened the
governor and company Of Massacnu-
sets bay in New England" Winthrop
and his council decided to hold DAY
of prayer and abstinence, $50 that ye
Lorde be propitiated and locke upon
his servants with favor, in that they
have humbled themselves before HIM.
Accordingly a crier was sent ABOUT 'he
primitive settlement of CharlestoWn,
and the colonists were each and all in
vited to take part in the fast. Their
sacrifice met with speedy reward.
Scarcely had the noon hour OF the
allotted day arrived when the long
hoped-for ship made its welcome ap-
pearance in Massachusetts, bay, the
cargo was landed, and the fast was
succeeded by banquet of a sort which
must have seemed sumptuous indeed TO
the exiles so recently plunged IN
hunger and hardship On the thresh-
old of dreaded winter Winthrop and
his followers found what had been
prospect of fear and peril changed III
to one of happiness and hope. Such
was Americas first Thanksgiving, as
celebrated 260 years ago. Thereafter
each succeeding November was mark
ed in the annals of the colony by
similar festival of gratitude.
But Thanksgiving in the early days
of our history was not confined to the
New England pioneers alone. Just
fifteen years after Winthrops proclaim
alton i. e., in 1915, Gov Kieft OF the
Dutch colony, then known as NieuW
Amsterdam, but now as New York, Or
dered the observance of day OF re-
joicing and thanks, 'for the rest ana
peace which God had been pleased 10
bestow upon his servants. Thus we
see that the feast of Thanksgiving is
not as generally supposed, peculiarly
Puritan institution, but is equally de-
rived from the stalwart burghers OF
Manhattan island.
The next notable Thanksgiving day
in history fell in 175S. On that date
the British and colonial army, number
ing $4,000 men, and commanded by
Gen. Forbes. attacked and captured
from the French, after a fierce strug-
gle, Fort Duquesne, at the junction of
the Allegheny and Monongahela riv-
ers. The name of the place was
changed to Fort Pitt, and was the nu-
cleus of the city of Pittsburg Thus

horse came swiftly around the corner.
She had no time to be frightened, how
ever, for the next moment her hand
was seized and she was pulled back to
the pavement.
1t was little Annie Ridley, who had
seen the accident, and ran back to help
her.
There" she said; NOW wait for
your sister,"
She was darting away when Ruth
caught her hand.
"You thought you could not do any
thing for any one" she said, "but you
have saved me from being hurt. Nam
ma will be so glad"
THAT was nothing" said Annie, and
hurried away.
OF course when Ruth got home she
told her mother all about Annie, and
you may be sure Annie had splendid
Thanksgiving dinner that year, for
Ruth's mother was so grateful to the
little girl that she felt as though she
could not do enough for her.
The next time Annie Ridley came to
Sunday school she was dressed as
nicely as any little girl need be, and
her face wore very pleasant express
sion instead Of frown.

The college faculty were moved to

The college faculty were moved to
interest themselves in the question by
the fact that the uncertainty regarding
the date caused considerable disorder
among their pupils Boys from differ
ent states celebrated on different days,
many of them returning home to eat
the Thanksgiving meal under their
own rooftrees. This very undesirable
state of affairs could only be put
stop to, said the grave Harvard dons,
by the formal establishment of uni
form date for the feast. The last
Thursday of the eleventh month suited
the collegers, and influence being
brought to bear upon the colonial gov
ernors of New England, proclamations
were issued making that day the regu-
lar Thanksgiving.
In the south Thanksgiving, as an
annual festival, remained practically
unknown until, in 1855, the curious
Virginian controversy on the subject
was precipitated. This controversy
which is not generally known, deserves
brief notice. The governor OF Vir-
ginia at the time was one Johns, pa
triotic and broad-minded gentleman,
who had always entertained reyer-
ence for the Puritan anniversary
which was by no means common below
Mason and DiXon's line. Gov. Johns,
in letter to the state legislature, ur-

year on December 25, and the combin-
alton of evacuation day and that fes-
tival were long Jointly honored in New
York.
The Thanksgiving day Of 1916 is
memorable as the occasion upon which
an American theater was first illum-
mated with gas. This event happened
in Philadelphia. The experiment was
complete success, and the manager
of the affair was Dr. Kugler. During
the war, of the battles and skirmishes
fought on Thanksgiving, the most no
table was that Of Lookout mountain
(1863).
A few odd and distinctive methods OF
celebrating the great holiday still sur
vive in different parts of the United
States, although the tendency is to-
ward a uniform manner of rejoicing.
In sections of Connecticut, for exam
pie, the Thanksgiving barrel burn
ing" is time-honored institution. For
a month before the day Connecticut
boys diligently collect and store in
place Of security all the barrels, old
or new, which they can find. All bar
rels are regarded as the property OF
whomsoever can carry them away. On
Thanksgiving night the barrels are
piled in huge heap and ignited. Boys
and girls then dance around the bon.
fire until the very last barrel has gone
up in smoke.

gently recommended the recognition OF
Thanksgiving in Virginia, and offered,
in case his recommendation proved
satisfactory, to at once issue proc
lamation.
But the legislature Of Washingtons
state did not look upon the New Eng
land holiday with favor. Gov. Johns
was advised not to make the Thanks
giving proclamation; and, as he did
not do so, the matter was allowed tenn
porarily to drop. But public interest
had been awakened, and before long
a fierce debate was raging in Virginia
between the opponents and supporters
of the proposed southern Thanksgiv-
ing. At last, in 1857, Gov. Wise
Johns successor-took the metaphor
cal bull by the horns, and issued a
proclamation setting apart day for
the feast. His action caused much
angry criticism, and several southern
ern newspapers declared that Thanks
giving was simply "a relic of Puritan
ic bigotry." In spite of this, the in
novation was warmly welcomed. TIL
hospitable southerrer5 greeted gladly
another holiday, and the northern feas-
soon ranked among them as second in

shortly afterward, practically extin-
guished the popularity of the holiday
in Dixie.
But it has become a loved institu-
ton in the middle, western and north
western states. Exiled Americans,
too, cling to its celebration, and every
November sees Thanksgiving dinners
in London, Paris, Berlin, Rome-or
wherever some of the scattered chill
dren of Uncle Sam may chance to So

Chanler. the well-known explorer, tells
of Thanksgiving dinner which he en-
joyed in the very heart of darkest AZ

An extensive and highly interesting
volume might be compiled on the sub
ject of Thanksgivings and the events
which have signalized them. For in
stance, on Thanksgiving day, 1888, the
British army evacuated New York,
while Washington and Clinton march
ed into the city at the head of the con-
tinental army and took formal posses
sion in the name OF the young repub-
lie. Festivities and a grand display
of fireworks closed that memorable
day. Thanksgiving had fallen that

school," replied the little one, and
crossing the space between the benches
she said to Annie:
please may | sit here?"
You may il you want to- replied
Annie, rather GROSSLY.
All the scholars looked at each other
and smiled Her sister blushed.
'She is so small" she said to her
neighbor.
Then the teacher entered, and Annie
and Ruth were forgotten.
When the scholars stood up to sing,
Ruth offered one side Of her hymn
book to Annie, who took hold Of the
cover with the tip end of her fingers
and sang from it.
How nice you sing" whispered
Ruth. Il wish l could sing So"
Annie smiled.
"You are too little yet she said,
and moved closer Then when the
singing was over she added: you are
the incest girl in the school.
But Ruth did not answer, for just
then a gentleman began to speak, and
she knew that she must pay attention.
So she listened and he told them the
stories of Thanksgiving day and ended
by saying: mo one is too poor or TOO
small to be of use"
"He don't know everybody" whis-
pered Annie. "He don't know u.s."
Then she added suddenly; Say, what
is Thanksgiving for, anyhow"
Mamma said that long ago, when
the people first came to America to
live, they were so glad when the grain
ard pumpkins and potatoes were put
away safe in the barn for the winter
that they appointed enc day to go to
church and give thanks. .
"Oh," said Annie, but suppose they
had no barn and no pumpkins and
things. Then what?"
1--WE have no barn." replied Ruth,
"but mamma buys the pumpkin and
turkey at the store.
my mother never does,' said An
ME-
"Why?" asked Ruth.
Because she can't" answered An
ME.
Don't you have any Thanksgiving
dinner them" asked Ruth.
Annie shook her head.
NO" she said, we don't often have
bread enough, SO you see l could not
do anything for any one if l wanted to
ever so much"
DAVID ON afraid I'm too little -
said Ruth, thoughtfully.
Just then the collection plate was
passed before them. Ruth had two
five-cent pieces in her hand, but when
she saw that her new friend had moth
ing to give she laid one of the coins on
her lap.
Annie turned red. but she gave Ruth
a shy smile and placed the money on
the plate.

1--WE are the first" whispered Nellie,
as she seated herself near the reading
desk.
"How queer Sunday school looks
when it is empty" said her sister
Ruth, climbing up by her side.
A scuffiing step sounded in the aisle
IT know who that is" said Nellie
Jsoftly. THAT is Annie Ridley. Her
shoes are so old"
y "Yes," said Ruth, peeping over the
back of the bench. Her shoes are all
in holes, and her dress is patched,
and"
"Hush!" whispered Nellie.
Annie Ridley passed by without
turning her head, sat down on the
very end of the opposite bench, covered
her shoes with heG dress, and frown-
ed.
SIS she CROSSE" asked Ruth.
"Hushw said Nellie.
One by one the other scholars ar
rived, and as each prettily dressed girl
came in Annie Ridley frowned at her
and turned her head away. No one
sat close to her-the children seemed
rather to prefer to be crowded than to
do so. At last one girl came to Nell
lie and said:
Move up, please"
Nellie tried to move, but there was
no room.
"Why don't you go over there?" said
Ruth, pointing to the vacant seat by
Annie.
"She is so ragged" replied the girl.
II don't like to-"
"She is Clean" said Ruth. you
may have my seat will go and sit
J by her. May I, Nellie?"
= YES" she said, after q moment,
''but you must be good"

great capital of the coal and iron in
dustries is connected with the ceie-
bration of Thanksgiving day.
But meanwhile, in New England,
what had been begun as an occasional
day of pious rejoicing had assumed the
proportions of fixed national holiday.
In Massachusetts, and New Hampshire
it was especially popular. There was
at first great latitude in regard to the
day selected for the feast. Governors
proclaimed the chosen date arbitrarily,
and no effort was made to keep the an
nfversary o. Winthrop's proclamation.
Sometimes thanksgiving occurred IN
July. sometimes in midwinter. At
length, through the efforts Of the pres
ident and professors Of Harvard col
lege, It was practically fixed upon the
last Thursday in November.

Poet and Queen.

DR.. Max Muller relates that the late
queen Of Holland frequently came tol
England and was fond of meeting whileE
there distinguished literary people. OIL
one occasion she 1unched with DeanI
Stanley and asked him to invite several
literary men, among whom were Tenny-l
son, Lord Houghton, Huxley and Maxi
Muller himself.
Luncheon was ready, and everybody
had come to the deanery except Jenny
son. Dean Stanley suggested that the
party should wait no longer, but tho
queen refused to sit down before tho
laureate arrival. There was another
period Of waiting, painful to all tho
company.
Finally some one suggested that prob
ably Tennys0n was incoming about in
the cloiSters somewhere. " One was SENT
to see, and the poet was indeed found
there, apparently oblivious that any
thing was going on. He was brought in
and placed at the table next the queen

The queen took the conversation into
her own hands and i'll particular tried
to draw Tennysou out. He was not in
talking mood. She addressed him q
