THE ORIGIN OF THANKSGIVING

TThe following highly creditable com position was prepared by Miss Annie Williamson for the Thanksgiving eXer- cises at the public schoOLl
 In the little town of ScroOby, in the northern part of England, there lived a little band of Christians, or Separatists, as they were sometimes called.
 The established church of England at this time was the Episcopal church and King James compelled them to worship and believe as be did, and would not al low them to hold their religious meet ings in peace. He thought that if they were allowed to worship in the way they wanted to that they would quarrel and cause much disturbance
 The Separatists did not like King James way of worshiping so they re solved to leave England and set sail for Holland, as the Dutch would let them worship and believe as they wished
 They remained in Holland for about eleven years, but they became dissatis- fled with the Dutch, as they were afraid their children would grow up and mar " into the Dutch families, or learn to speak the Dutch language. So, in the year 1869, they decided to sail for Amer lea, where they could get farms for nothing, and where their children would never forget the English lan- guage and customs. Of course they could enjoy entire freedom in the wild erness, and they could soon establish a settlement.
 In 1920 they started in two small ships-the Mayaower and SpeedweIl. But the Speedwen sprung leak and had to return to Plymouth, England, and the Mayfower continued on her journey. eIeaders were: Miles Stand ish, John Robinson, William Bradford and John Carver. vi
 The weather was very stormy, the wind blew a gale and it was intensely cold.
 They sailed on for two months and before landing they drew up an agree ment for making their laws, and John Carver was chosen governor. On Dec. 21, 1920. they landed at Plymouth Rock, Massachusetts.
 The Pilgrims suffered from the cold,

Nicholas I, Gar of Russia, was the
type of an absolute aristocrat. The
succession of terrible wars which
clouded his reign did not tend to
soften his disposition or to render
him less imperious. But, rough and
harsh s.s he was, Nicholas had meas.
ure of chiyalry in his disposition.
He would not tolerate, under any
circumstances, an insult offered to
woman.
As the Gar was driving through
the streets Of st. Petersburg he caught
sight of an officer of bis household
in the act Of upsetting an old beggar
woman, whose hands were raised in q
prayer for aims.
The official was quito unmindful of
the august witness of his act, and
was rather pleased when, a few hours
later, he was summoned to the impe-
rial presence.
Nicholas soon undeceived him, and
in the presence OF dozen courtiers
cut him to the quick with his indig-
nant reproof.
"Enoughp said Nicholas finally.

iidor ali night, and every time you

known through the work of his pen
in the field Of letters, he is not without
peculiar gifts which specially qualify
him for participation in public affairs.
He began his career as political editor
and leader man on Nottingham
paper. Then he became a London
journalist, and was a keen student of
politics and parliamentary activity for
some years, trumpeting his views on
political economy and legislation
through the columns of st. James
Gazette, the National Observer, the
British Weekly and the Speaker. He
wrote his first book in 1887, and that
was not novel. but satire on Lon
don life, entitled Better Dead" The
creator of THE Little Minister" is not
a tyro in politics. Besides, he is said
to be very popular with the university
commons. OF late Mr.. Barrie's repu-
tation has been considerably en-
hanced by his two recent creations,
Sentimental Tommy" and Tommy
and Grizzell."

Never Admit Defeat.

Never admit defeat or poverty,
though you seem to be down and
have not cent. Stoutly assert your
divine right to be man, to hold your
head up and look the world in the
face; step bravely to the front, what
ever opposes, and the world will make
way for you. No one will insist on
your rights, while you yourself doubt
that you possess the qualities reluis-
ite for success. Never allow yourself
to be traitor to your own cause by
undermining your self-confdence.
There never was time before
when persistent, original force was so
much i'll demand as now. The nam
by-pamby, nerveless man has little
show in the hustling world to-day. In
the twentieth century a man must
either push or be push ed.
Every one admires the man who can
assert his rights, and has the power
to demand and take them if denied
him. No one can respect the man
who sinks in the rear and apologies
for being in the world. Negative
virtues are of no use in winning ones
way. 1t is the positive man, the man
with original energy and push that
forges to the front.

Strange to say the sandglass is still
used to measure varying periods of
time. The size depends upon the
purposes to which they are to be put.
The hour glass is still in use in the
sick-room and in the music-room, in
both places atfording sure and silent
indication of the progress of time.
Half-hour glasses are used in schools,
and fifteen minute glasses are used
for medical purposes, and the sand
glass also goes into the kitchen as an
aid to exact cooking. There hre
also minute glasses, ve-minute

The Australian emu is described as
yellowish brown bird, seven feet in
height, with wings so rudimentary
that it makes no use of them for flight
1t is so swift of foot, however, that
only the very fieetest horse can over
take it. Like the ostrich, the emu
feeds upon whatever comes under its
beak. Wood, pebbles, scraps of iron,
or anything else that it can swallow,
will answer its purpose, although it
shows marked preference for bread
ar d cooked meat. a French explorer
describes his experience in shooting
one of these birds. He was accom-
panied by white companion, and by
a native who acted as guide.
81 am going to bring them up" said
our savage companion. "You will
have to shoot while they are on the
run, but take your time and aim we'll.
They won't get off this time"

he were calling dog

credible swiftness, we brought them
into line and fired. One fell with a
bullet in his heart. The others fled,
all the time in single file, and present
ly they disappeared.
In reply to question, our guide
told us that the emus always acted in
this way whenever they heard whist
ling, and that one can call them by
this means from far away.
81 think" he added, ''it is because
they believe their little ones are call
ing them"
AS the little emus do not whistle,
this explanation does not seem to me
conclusive. But who will suggest q
better one?

From Robinson Crusoe:" "My beard

as I had both scissors and razors suf-
flcient, had cut it pretty short, except
what grew on my upper lip, which l
had trimmed into a large pair of Mo-
hammedan whiskers, such as I had
seen worn by some Turks at Sallee,
for the Moors did not wear such,
though the Turks did; of the mustach-
los, or whiskers, | will not say they
were long enough to hang my hat upon
them, but they were of length and

in England would have passed for
frightful." From Wilson's History
and Antiquities of the Dissenting
Churches" Joseph Jacob, an inde-
pendent preacher at Turner's hall,
Philpot Lane Gn) the beginning of the
last century. made a church of his
own. He passed an order obliging the
whole of the congregation to stand dur
ing the time of singing. This, though
by no means an uncommon thing in
the present day, was then looked upon
as a great novelty. In this reformed
church all periwigs were discarded, the
men members wore whiskers upon
their upper lips, in which Mr.. Jacob
set them an example" From Hunt
er's Travels in 1892" "They (the Hun
garians) shave their boards, except the
upper lip, which is generally adorned
with a pair of huge whiskers."
