What Wichita and kiowa Ghost
Dancers Hope to Accomplish.
Under ordinary circumstances news
that an Indian tribe is INDUCING in the
wild frenzy known as the ghost dance
is enough to call up visions of murder
and rapine. In the past days m
u murderous raids of the red men
have have been preceded by such fes-
rivals. But a ghost dance now being
held in the Wichita and Kiowa reser-
vations of Indian Territory is not be-
lieved to presage any such terrible

"There is one shellfish, the mussel,
the use of which us an article of food
seems to be totally neglected in the
United States," observed an English
man of several years residence in this
country to a Star reporter recently. I'm
fact it is so seldom employed that it
may be said to be practically unknown
on this side Of the Atlantic. 1t is rare
ly seen in your markets, and near the
salt water bays and %estuaries in which
1t is taken it is used, l am told, as a
manure for certain crops. This lack
Of recognition of mussels as an epicu-
rlan delicacy probably arises from the
popular superstition among Americans
that this shellfish possesses poisonous
qualities. Such an impression is, how
ever, rather absurd, for in England
they are largely consumed by the poor
and middle class people, and il they
contained any injurious properties their
1se would be promptly prohibited.
ut is we'll known that some persons
are unable to eat of particular sorts of
'hell fish-to some oysters, CLANS or lob
sters are more or less poisonous, but
Mussels are only 'noxious' to the great
err number for the reason that they de-
teriorate more rapidly when removed
from the water than any other species.
There are mussel beds within II radius
of tenmiles of New York and other east
ern cities of sufficient capacity to sup
ply millions of people with a clean and
nutritious article Of food; one that
would lessen to a large degree the ex-
haustive demands made upon the clam,
oyster and lobster fisheries.
ITO prepare mussels for the table

them carefully and place them in n YES

How to Dress the Table.

If one expects to give a Thanksgiving
dinner, tinted autumn leaves should be

time that the custom of issuing a

President Of the United States was inau-

THE THANKSGIVING FESTIVAL.

THANKSGIVING as

there have been
many festivals in the
past that might serve
as its forerunner.
Among the Jews
there was the very

the T~abernaclcs, or
tho feast Of tho In.

gathering. 1t occurred from the latter
part Of September to the middle of Octo-
Der, lasting eight days at n time. 1t was
the feast Of rejoicing after the harvest
Ing of the crops, when the great work
of the year was done. The same idea
has prevailed in almost all nations.
Greece had it's Elusinian mysteries, last |
ing nine days in September, being held
in honor of Demeter, the goddess of crops |
and plenty. The Romans, too, cclebrat-
ed Il festival in honor of Ceres, who was
the Roman Demeter. This took place
early in October. When the harvests had
been brought in the people of England
gathered to celebrate the Harvest Home,
a festival at which there was much jol-
iity and rejoicing.
The first Thanksgiving in America was
probably that held by the Pilgrims in the
fall of 1921 when Gov. Bradford sent a
party out to secure game that a feast
might be observed. The colonists had
seen the first fruits of their sowing, and
although the results were nothing great,
YET they were enough to make them
thankful and far better than they might
have been. The hunters went out and
bagged great quantities of turkeys and
other game, enough, says one of the col
-onists, to last them a week. Massasiot, |
who had been a good friend to the set
tiers, came into the feast with ninety Of
his followers and they were royalty en-
tertained for three days. Besides the
feasting, there were trials of their skill
with the rifle and general jollity. Off
and on the autumn celebrations were held
by the colonists for many years. 1t did
not become a regular custom to fix q day
8or Thanksgiving until 1863, when a pres
idcntial proclamation was issued calling +
upon the nation to offer up prayers and
thanks. Ever since that time, each au-
tumn has seen the return Of the custom |
and it has come to be observed through |
the nation. 1t is a day Of rejoicing. |
