the contents he does so. If his guess is not

enough favors to go around at least twice, and if
guesses his second surprise correctly, he

But" said James, why is the custom still
kept up everywhere. now the special cause is
gomez
why do we still celebrate the Fourth of
JULY" said his grandfather. The first JOY
over the Declaration of independence, the wild
joy experienced by our ancestors who fought for
freedom, was over long ago But yearly do
celebrate the day. All Thanksgiving Days in
every country, all national holidays, originated
in time Of great joy peril, when a whole
people had won a great victory passed safely
through a great danger. And then the children
of these people, and their chdrens children,
keep the day sacred for all time because of
patriotism and sentiment. Sentiment is far
mig5ter in this world. James, than money or
anything else, after all. Think of that, and be
thankful for it when you eat your mince pie
next Thursday"
''I will" said James. And il sentiment
that spread the Pilgrim custom all over the
country?
YES" his grandfather answered. This New
England custom spread in time by New
England people who migrated to other States

prompted
Yes, that's right" said James. Besides. it's
the only time Of the year mother will have
mice pie the table, because she says mince
pie is not healthful, except in New England.
I don't know why it isn't. It's good anywhere"
Grandfather smiled. There are lots Of good
things they have to eat in New-England which
We don't get here in New-York" he said. But
and don't tell your grandmother l said So
perhaps that is matter Of fashion as much
OF health. DO you know how the custom
of celebrating Thanksgiving Day originated?
II was a Eew-England custom at first, remem-

piled The Pilgrims founded New-England in

New-Engiand whatever they got TO eat was
won by hard. dangerous toll. The turkeys they
ate were wild ones, shot in the woods at the
peril OF Indian arrows. When new year was
nearly over and they found themselves alive and
with enough to eat, indeed they had much more
