THE RED MANS THANKS.

Harvest Invocation of the Tribes of
the Six Nations.
The custom of giving thanks to the
Deity for abundant harvests and ma
terial blessings long antedates the New
England Thanksgiving festival. Long
before the coming to this continent Of.
our pilgrim ancestors, by whom our
Thanksgiving day was first observed,
the Indians met in the forests, which
We're Gods first temples, when the har-
vest moon was full and the corn was
ripening and gave thanks to the Great
Spirit. The ceremonies We're performed
with especial solemnity and fervor by
the tribes of the Six Nations and is
still observed by the remnants Of that
once powerful confederation. Here is
a very nearly literal translation of the
invocation used doubtless for centuries
on these occasions:
We who are here present thank the Great Spirit
that we are here to praise him.
We thank him for the light which we call our
Oldest brother. the sun that works for our good.
We thank him for his goodness in making the
forests and thank all its trees.
We thank him for the darkness that gives us
rest and for the kind being of the darkness that
gives us light-the MOON
We thank him for the bright spots in the skies
that give signs-the stars.
We give him thanks for supporters who
have charge of our harvests.
We give thanks that the voice of the Great
Spirit still be heard through the words Of
Gs-ne-o-di-o (by his religion).
We thank the Great Spirit that we have the
privilege of this pleasant occasion.
"Our supporters referred to above
are the mythical guardians of the corn,
the bean and the squash, which were

products of the soil grown by the In

man to relish it raw and pronounce it

lying among the stubble at Thanksgiv-
ing time. and they lend the glow of life
to nature after the other crops have
been stripped from the ground. The
prize pumpkin has passed through the
kitchen on it's way to flank the dinner
turkey, but it's mate is on show in the
farmers porch or possibly in the din
ing room or parlor. 1t will be peeled
and dried later, and there will be pump
kin pies on the farmers table after all
the turkeys have gone under the ak. In
the storeroom, place sealed to all but
the very elect, the good wife has her
shelves filled with jars and cans of
summer fruit jellies and preserves
These sweetmeats are not to be shown
on Thanksgiving day, but their maker

on the thrashing floor and the towering
stacks of grain tell them there is more

ing the fields at the risk of meeting
dogs and shotguns.

So

Spitzenburghs are better at the close
of the feast. The Gillyhower is rather
hearty to begin on, and the Spy, King
and Russell are best after wintering
awhile. The windows of grapes, the
heaps of seductive pears and baskets
of fragrant ounces set off the store of
good things which the farmers wife
and daughters have under their espe
clal care from budding time to the
sweetmeat stage, but all help them
selves on Thanksgiving day, for these
are luxuries to be proud of.
The boys have brought in their bags
of shining chestnuts, also walnuts.

is a wonder that there is any appetite
left for turkey after the eye has feast
ed upon natures bounties, but the
good woman of the house never has
cause to complain that the table is neg
lected. The private view of all the
good things in raw bulk is not exactly
cioylng, but it is discouraging to think
OF the work ahead that must be done
to put all those stores out of sight.
The fragrance of storehouse and Gel.
iaf is most appetizing of all. Granaries
are bursting with bins filed with corn,
rye, wheat and Duckwheat, and the
Sflddlecakes, mullins and savory fresh
loaves yet to materialize may be left
to imagination. They form the ordi-
nary staff of life and will not be want
ed on this day of Teasing. A raw DO
tato is not interesting to look at, but
the dull hued tuber has knack of
cleaning itself, and mammoth pile
fresh from Mother Earth is a sight to
discourage fears about starvation.
The turnlp is another tuber dug from
the soil, but so clean as to quicken
the appetite of the beholder. The hun
CRY man relishes turnip, and one can
sometimes envy the English Hodge who
was asked what he had for dinner in
the field and held up a chunk of black
bread for the answer Nothing but
that?' said his questioner. "Oh. YES:

Colonel Mulberry Sellers afflicted his
auditors with a watery mouth when
he laid out a stage feast consisting
solely of raw turnips.

cred to Ceres and Persephone lasted
from Sept. 10 to Sept 20. Although
others ideas were involved in the cere-
monies. the occasion, in the Greek and
Roman world at least, was one of re-
joicing for the bounties of the harvest.
The Jews in all lands hold a week
of thanksgiving at the close of the
summer season. This is the feast of
the tabernacles founded by Moses. In
the course of their peregrinations the
1sraelites on the way to the promised
land dwelt in booths, and the event is
commemorated by taking the meals
of the feast in tents or temporary shell
tiers. The roof must admit view Of
the sky, and is usually made of the
branches of trees. The more pious of
the race sleep under this green roof
The members of Il family, or some
times whole community club togeth-
er and erect large tabernacles of
boughs. This festival is also called
the feast of the ingathering. 1t is
mentioned in the twenty-third chapter
OF Exodus, sixteenth verse. as ''the
feast of the ingathering at the end Of
the year, when thou hast gathered in
the labors of the field"
The rules of the feast are more eN-
plicitly laid down in the twenty-third
| chapter of Leviticus. commencing with
the thirty-third verse. as follows;
And the Lord spakc unto Moses, saying:
Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, The
| fifteenth day OF this seventh month shall be the
feast OF tabernacles for days unto the Lord.
Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month
when ye have gathered in the fruit of the land, We
shall keep feast unto the Lord seven days; on the
first day shall be Sabbath and on the eighth
day shall be a Sabbath.
And ye shall take you on the first day the
boughs OF goodly trees, branches of palm trees
and the boughs OF thick trees and willows of the
brook
And We shall dwell in booths seven DAYS; all
that are lsraelites born shall dwell in booths
The idea of the tabernacles and the
ingathering of the harvest are more
closely combined in the sixteenth chap
ter of Deuteronomy, the thirteenth
verse, which says:
Thou shalt observe the feast of the tabernacles
seven days, after thou hast gathered in thy corn
and wine.
The nearest approach to the modern
Thanksgiving festival as it is kept in
the country was the harvest home of
the English farm people, formerly eel
ebrated by the whole rural community
with universal merrymaking. feasting,
songs and dances. The last load of
corn from the field was crowned with
flowers. having, besides. an image rich
ly dressed to typify Ceres. the queen OF
the harvest. When the last load reach
ed the barn. the joyous harvesters sang
in chorus:
We have plowed, we have sowed,
We have reaped we have moved
We have brought home every load.
Hip hip, hip, harvest home!

THANKSGIVING IN
ANCIENT TIMES
[cOpyright, 1901, by william L. Vail. ]

lSops lSui, Oy William L.. VAIL
In some form the gathering of the
harvest has been celebrated by agri-
cultural communities since the days of
classical antiquity. Ceres, sometimes
called queen of the harvest, is The sub
iect of endless eulogies in the tales of
NEUROLOGICAL times.
Demeter. or Ceres, was the goddess
protecting corn and agriculture in gen
eral. The fame of this goddess and
worship instituted by her extended
over the east. She was the mother of
Fersephone, the beautiful maiden
whom Aidonaus. with the help of her
father, Zeus, carried off.
In despair at the loss OF her daugh-
ter Ceres wandered over the face of the
earth and finally, in the disguise of an
old woman, found q home in Eleusis.
There she at length revealed herself
and caused a temple to be built. TAX
ing up her abode in it, year of fam
inc came over the land. The soil yield
ed no produce. In vain the people
plowed and sowed seed. The race was
in danger of perishing, and Zeus in
despair begged Ceres to come back to
Olympus, but she would not return to
him nor permit the earth to bring forth
until she had seen her daughter. Zeus
then prevailed upon the captors of
Persephone to release her. and the fair
one was conducted to Eieusis. The
meeting between mother and daughter
vas joyous one, and ZeuS sent mes
senger to invite his spouse and their
offspring back to heaven. Ceres COM
piled.
And instant from the deep soiled corn6elds
fruit sent up; with leaves and flowers the whole
wide earth was laden.
This fiction is taken as a parable to
show the secret life of nature and the
development of food from seed of
grain buried in the earth Ceres is
commonly represented with sickle in
her right hand. A wreath of wheat
confines her hair. and a cornucopia,
type of plenty, is placed near Der to
represent fruitful harvests.
The Eleusinian mysteries origi-
mated in the worship set up to Ceres
at Eleusis. Little is positively known
of the nature of this secret worship,
except that it was enrolling to the

A European peasant is thankful if he

Pleasant for the Parents.

A gentleman invited certain lec- turer to his house to take tea.
 Immediately on being seated at the table little daughter of the house sad to the guest, abruptly:
 "Where is your wlfe?"
 The lecturer, who had recently sep aparted from his better half, was sur prised and annoyed at the question, and stammertd forth the truth:
 ''I don't know"
 Don't know" repeated the child. why don't you know"
 Finding that the child persisted in her interrogatiOns, despite the mild reproof of the parents, he decided to make clean breast Of the matter and have it. over at once, so he said, with calmness:
 Well, we don't live together. We think as we can't agree we'd better not"
 He stifled grOan as the child began again and dartcd an exasperated look at her parents.
 But the little torment would not be quieted until she exclaimed:
 Can't agree?' Then, why don't you fight it out, the same as father and mother do?,n-Tit-BitS.

The Tombs of Royalty.

England Is almost the only country in Europe which does not possess d recognized resting place for the re- mains of its royal family, says the Westminster Gazette. The kings and queens of England are buried at Vest minister, Windsor, Hanover, Wiuches- Ger and Canterbury. Spain, which pays perhaps most attention tO mat ters of ceremony, has the finest vault for its royalty. It's kings rest in the Pantheon, which is part of the Escu- rial, built by Philip, the Munk-king. Hard v is the Pantheon de los ln- fantes, Tn which repOse the remains of infant princes Of the royal house. Philip V. and Ferdinand VI are the only mUuarchs who are buried else where. The czars of Russia since Peter the Great, with one exception, are buried in the Cathedral Fortress of Peter and Paul, at St Petersburg.
 The kings Of Holland lie not in the splendid an n pdern capital of the Hague, but amid the rural simplicity of the little town of Delft. They are buried in the Nleuwe Kerk there Austria, on the other hand, rcvels in splendor. The Capuchin church or Vienna contains 10j metal collins ol the Austrian royal family, some of them of solid silver. This has been their place of buIiai since 1919. Most of the German royal lamlly are buried m the Domkirche at Berlin, though sume rest at Potsdam. The D0mklrche contains the tom Os of eighty of the ancestors of the German emperor, including that of the Great Eiector. The tOmbS of the Swedish royal family rival those of the Dutch in simplicity.

It is surprising that there are in England many persons who still cher ish the delusiOn that the bonds of the southern COnfederacy will be paid, reports the Atlanta Journal Some Of them are men who have been emi- nently successful in business. They have an organization known as the British Capitalist Association, and it had meeting few days ago. The secretary. reported that the society had s4O,000,000 of Confederate bonds and s25, 100000 of the bonds of the States of Virginia, Mississippi and Louisiana. The value of these securi- ties was discussed, and several mem bers declared their faith that they would be paid by the United States government. Those Utopians are as wild as those who expect to get pay for their emancipated slaves.

pr. Talmage, in recent sermon on "lnk Factor in Life," has the follow ing tn say of the power of the news papers: "Where one man reads book, 000 men read a newspaper. What change of opinion in regard to the printing press since the day when the great Addison wrote concerning it, One cannot but be sorry that such a pernicious machine is erected among them,' and when, under the reign of Charle' II, only one newspaper, the London Gazette, was allowed to be printed, and that on Mondays and Thursdays. Not until the judgment day, When the forcts which have in, fluenced the world shall be compared and announced, will be known the puRer of the modern newspaper A NTong theory is abroad that the news paper impression is ephemeral. Be. cause We read and cast it aside in an hour and never see it again, We are not to judge that We are parted from its il fiuence. No volume of 300 pages makes such impression upon the peo. pie as the daily news spaper."
