SUCH A FUNNY MAN.

] know a very funny man
With nothing much to do
But just TO exercise his mind
He taught his dog to NEW.
And when the dog had learned to new.
So pleased he was at that
He took the bark the dog had lost
And taught il to his cat
Both news and barks were badly done
The man himself was cracked.
And neither dog nor cat nor mar
Imagined what they lacked.
But quite as funny ere the men.
Who go by one strict rule
IS 10 the things their boys are taught
In college or in school.
Who artists into lawyers turn.
And natures rights refuse
BY making poets of the boys
Who should be cobblng shoes.

SHORT COMPETITIVE ESSAYS.
Aunt Busy's Boys and Girls Present Observations
On Thanksgiving

The Pilgrims who came over from England and
settled in Massachusetts originated Thanksgiving
day now generally observed in this country.
After their arrival for a number of years they
had very hard times. The Indians destroyed their
crops that they had very scanty harvests
After time things began to improve, and the
harvcsts became bountiful They felt thankful to
God because he had SO prospered them. and to show
their thankfulncss they prepared Il great feast, to
which everybody, including the friendly Indians
were invited. Fruits vegetables and grains of the
harvest the table; also an abundance of
wild turkey, which were shot in the woods.
Such was the first Thanksgiving dinner, and so
the turkey ever since has occupied a prominent
place the Thanksgiving table.

THANKSGIVING day is national holiday cele-
brated throughout the United States and is always
proclaimed by the president Since 1868 it has all
ways been the last Thursday in November 1t was
first celebrated By the Pilgrims in 1921 one year
after their landing at Plymouth Rock, and was set
apart as day of prayer and thanksgiving for the
blessings God had showered upon them.
They had gathered in a plentiful harvest. they
had fixed their homes snug and warm as posi-
bic for the long cold winter which was soon to come
and everything seemed to look very encouraging.
Then the governor sent forth the best hunts
men of the colonists, which numbered four. and
they brought back waterfowls and turkeys, so you
see from the first the turkey had its first appear
ance on THANKSGIVING For forty-seven years they
celebrated, sometimes in the spring after long,
hard winter and sometimes in the fail after gen
erous harvest, and often after miraculous escape
from the wild Indians. who roamed the plains.
