The Best Turkey Cook.

There's q queer thing about the
cooking of turkey. And in my esti-
nation there's only one person who
has solved the riddle-or one class of
persons. A farmers daughter can
cook turkey, but no one else in the
world. want my turk" as the boys
say, cooked by farmers daughter.

The Rhode Island settlers, stubborn
in this as in other things. never took
kindly to thanking anybody for any
thing. Sir Edmund Andres, TIE i'm
perious governor of New England in
the reigns of Charles II. and James H..
thought his will a match for their
stubbornneSs. Several times he or
dered them to appear to be thankful
on a certain day, but the colonists did
1t with so bad a grace that several of

HISTORY OF THE DAY.
An Institution of Importance Peculiar
to Americans.

An institution of Importance Peculiar
to Americans.
Thanksgiving day is peculiarly
American institution. History, it is
true, informs us that the pious people
of Leyden, Holland, observed day
of thanksgiving as early as 1875, to
commemorate the first anniversary of
the raising the siege of that city. In
1923 day of fasting and prayer was
appointed on account of the drought.
Rain came abundantly while the peo-
pie were praying, and the governor ap-
pointed a day of thanksgiving which
was observed with religious exercises.
The first recorded thanksgiving, APP
pointed by authority in America, was
proclaimed in Massachusetts, bay in
1881. Owing to the great scarcity of
provisions and consequent menace of
starvation, the 22d of February was
designated TO he observed as a fast
day. Before that date a long-expecteJ
vessel arrived from Ireland, loaded
with provisions, and the fast day was
changed into one of thanksgiving.
Benjamin Franklin relates that in
time OF great dependency among
the first settlers Of New England II
was proposed in one OF their public
meetings to proclaim a fast. An aged
farmer rose and spoke Of provoking
Heaven with their complaints and of
the many mercies they had received

THANKSGIVING History.

Historically the custom is traced to
earliest settlers of New England. II
was the pilgrims who came over in
the Mayfower, and those who Joined
them later. who originated the
thanksgiving which afterwars was
adopted by the whole of New England
afterward by New York, and ultimate
~ became national observance. Even
the day, Thursday, adopted by the
New Englanders, set the precedent
for the future.

Let earth give thanks" the deacon
said,
And then the cl2mation read.
Give thanks for what an what
about?"
Asked Simon Soggs when church was
out;
Give thanks for what? l don't see
why,
The rust got in an spilled my rye,
And hey WANT half crop, and corn
All wilted down and looked forlorn.
The bugs just gobbled up my perta-
ters,
The what you call 'em-lineaters,
And gracious! when you come to
wheat,
There's more than all the world can
eat;
Onless a war should interfere.
Crops won't bring half price this
year;
I'll hev to give 'em away, l reckon"
Good for the poor!" exclaimed the
deacon.
Give thanks fer what?" asked Simon
Soggs;
Fer tn freshet carryin' off my logs?
Fer Dobbin goin' blind? Fer five
Wv my best cows, that was alive
Afore the smashin' railroad come
And made it awful troublesome?
Fer that haystack the lightnin' struck
And burnt to ashes ?-thunderin' luck!
Fer ten dead Sheep" sighed Simon
Soggs.
The deacon said, you've got your
hogs!"
Give thanks? And Jane and baby
sick?

Amt runnin' thingsl"
The deacon said
Simon, your people might be dead!"
Give thanks" said Simon Soggs
again.
Jest look at what fix we're in.
The country's rushin' to the dogs
At horse-race speed!" said Simon
Soggs.
Rotten all through, in every state;
Why, eff we don't repudiate,
Wen have to build, for big and small
A poorhouse that'il hold us all!
Down south the crooked whiskey-
still
Is running like the DEVILS mill
The niger skulks in nights disguise,
And hooks a chicken as he flies.
Up north there's murder everywhere,
And awful doings, declare.
Give thanks? How mad it makes me
feel
To think how office-holders steal!
The taxes paid by you and me
Is four times bigger'n they should be.
The Fed'ral Governments all askew:
The ballots sech mockery too.
Some votes too little. some too much;
Some not at all-it beats the Dutch!
And now no man knows what to do,
Or how is how or who is who.
Deacon, corruption's sure to kill
This glorious union never will,
I'll bet Continental cent,
Elect another PRESIDENT
Give thanks fer what, I'd like to
know"
The deacon answered, and said low,
Simon it fills me with surprise

Kneel right straight down in all the

And thank God that it amt no wuss!"
