CHAPTER xxIX.
The Root of All EVIL.

Lecnce was never called upon to come
into court as witness against the Mar
quis del Castellani, and the public was
cruelty cheated Of the sensation 1t had
anticipated in the great murder trial.
The Italian was found dead in his cell
on the morning after his Incarceration.
There was a tremendous hue and cry,
and many refused to believe 1t, and
said it was merely a scheme to aid q
desperate criminal, who CHANGED to
have been born q nobleman, to escape
Justice. VIE
But the body was placed on exhibi.
ton, physicians OF the first standing
declared 1t to be .ifeless, and the public
f1ocked by hundreds-by thousands-to

Thanksgiving, though commonly re-
garded as being from It's earliest be-
ginning a distinctively New England
festival and Puritan holiday, was
originally neither. The first New Eng
land Thanksgiving was observed by
the Popham colonists at Monhegan,
In the Thanksgiving service OF the
Church Of England, Giving God
thanks" for safe arrival and many
other liberal blessings, says Mrs. Earle
in her Customs Of Old New England
Days set apart for thanksgiving
were known in Europe before the Ref
ormation, and were in frequent use
by Protestants afterward. But the
first New England Thanksgiving was
not a day Of religious observance, but
a day Of recreation. Edward Winslow
writing December II, 1921, to a friend
in England, says: "Our harvest be-
ing gotten in, our governor sent four
men out fowling 30 that. we might,
after a special manner, rejoice together
after we had gathered the fruits Of
our labors. The four killed as much
fowl, as with a little help beside,
served the company about a week. At
which times among Jul recreations
we exercised our arms, many Of the
Indians coming amongst us, and
among the rest their greatest king,
Massasoyt, with some ninety men,
whom for three days we entertained
and feasted, and they went out and
killed five deer which they brought
and bestowed on our governor, and
upon the captains and Others" AS
Governor Bradford recorded that dur
ing that autumn beside water fowle
Their was great store of wild turkies,"
the Pilgrims Jared better at their
Thanksgiving than their English cous-
ms, for turkeys were not plentiful in
England at that date. The Indian
visitors Joined in the games. These
recreations were doubtless competi-
lions in running, leaping, jumping and
perhaps stool-box. Probably the swom-
en- of the colony had little time to
join in the recreaMons as the four
women, with. the help Of one servant,
and a few young maids, had to pre-
pare and cook food for 100 hungry
men. There is no record Of any spec
ial religious service during this week
Of feasting. On February %, in 1880,
the first public thanksgiving raj held
in Boston by the Bay State colony in
gratitude for the safe arrival Of ships
bearing food and friends. On Novem-s,
Der a, 1851. Thanksgiving day was
kept again In Boston. From that time
till 1884 there were at least 20 public
thanksgiving days appointed in Mas
sachusetts, Rhode Island and Con-
necticut. People do not seem to have
celebrated Thanksgiving in the early
days. In Connecticut the festival raj
not regularly observed until 1716.
Thanksgiving was not always appoint-
ed in early days for the same token
