impression that he owns the earth and
is the boss of everything on it. He will
fluff up his feathers, wrinkle his neck

Thanksgiving time is the busiest sea
son for the manufacturers of and deal
ers in masks and false faces. The fan
tastical costume parades and the old
custom of masking and dressing for
amusement on Thanksgiving day keep
up from year to year in many parts of
the country, so that the quantity of
false faces sold at this season is enor-
nous. The manufacturers make it a
point to get up new styles, and this
year brownies, ''yaller kids" parrot
visages and many other novelties will
be on sale Masks of prominent men

THE FIRST THANKSGIVING.
A Cotempornry Account of the Pio-
neer Feast In 1871.

The first Thanksgiving day was cele-
brated in the autumn Of 1921.
An account of the pioneer of all these
feasts has been presented in letter by
Edward Winslow written in the same
year:
You shall understand that in this
little time that few of us have been
here we haze built seven dwelling
! houses and four for the use of the plan
/ tation and have made preparations for
eleven others. We set the last spring
some twenty acres OF corn and sowed
some six acres of barley and peas
Our corn did prove WELL God he
praised, and our barley Indifferent
good, but our peas not worth harvest
ing. our harvest being got in, our
governor sent four men out fowling. so
that we might after Il special manner
rejoice together after we had gathered
the fruit of our lahors They four in
one day killed as much fowl as, with
little help beside. served the whole
company almost a week. at which time
among other recreatiOns we exercised
our arms, many of the Indians arriv
ing among us, and among the rest their
greatest king, Massasoit, with ninety
men. whom for three days we enter
tanned and Toasted. And, although it
be not always so plentiful as it was at
this time with us, yet, by the goodness
of God, we are so far from want that
we often wish you partakers of our
plenty"
Thus Thanksgiving was born.
1t continued to be celebrated, though
not with any regularity. for about six
ty years, after which it was annually
ordered by the general court not al
ways in November. but generally after
the harveSts We're gathered.

From restless city strife.
Come ere YOU lose your relish
For the quiet joys of life;
Come back, We rowing children,
From pralrles far and wide
And cluster round the hearthstone

Take up your song OF childhood
And sing II DER again;
Forget that ye are matrons
Or business loving men.
And II your eyes grow misty
Rejoice that ii is so:
A heart sincerely tender
Is the purest one to know.

To greet a late return.

MOST people think that catarrh is a
IVA disease confined to the head and
nose Nothing is farther from
the truth. 1t may be that the nose and
throat are the oftenest affected by ca
tarrh, but if this is SO it is so only be-
cause these parts are more exposed to
the vicissitudes of the climate than the
other parts of the body.
Every organ, every duct, every cavity
of the human body is liable to catarrh.
A Multitude of ailments depend on ca
tarrh. This is true winter and summer.
Catarrh causes many cases of chronic
disease, where the victim has not the
slightest suspicion that catarrh has any
thing to do with it.
