THE DAY WE CELEBRATE.

The first Thanksgiving was ceie-
brated in 1921. The settlers who came
over to the new continent had work
ed hard and rested little. Prosperity
had blessed their undertakings and
when all the crops had been gathered
in the barns a feeling of thankfulness
came over the Pilgrims and in che
earnestness OF their faith they set
aside the day as one of rest.
Governor Bradford ordered hunts
men to be sent out and enough game
and provision killed TO last the col
ony for a week The Indians were in
gited and conference with the great
chief. Massasoit was held. The pipe
of peace was smoked and for three
days the settlers and Indians lived in
harmony.
The first official proclamation was
issued in 1923 and for long time
the commemoration of the day was
confined to the New England states.
Blu. with the increasing population
and general prosperity the custom
spread throughout the length and
breadth Of the country until now i Is
observed as a national holiday. In
the Colonial days 1t was a day for
family reunions and enjoyment. The
tables of the old family homestead
were made to groan under the weight
Of substantial viands upon which the
good mother prided herself
Il was time of good cheer and re

THANKSGIVING.


Today Is Thanksgiving
iOf all the national holidays, il is
the sweetest and the best. II Is the
day when the great American people,
following the custom of their fathers,
lay aside the cares and toll of life
and gather In their houses of wor-
ship to hold communion with their
God; to thank Him for His goodness
during the year that has passed, for
the blessings which He has Eouch.
safed unto them, and for His exceed
ing mercy II is day unique with
the American people. No other ma
ton in all the world has such holi
day. 1t originated with the Pill
grim fathers who, having immigratei
here from the old world and planted
their colonies along the New England
coast that they might enjoy the right
OF religious freedom--the' right to
worship God according 10 the die
tates OF their own conscience-set
apart the day as one in which they
could assemble at their places Of wor
ship and return their gratitude L
their maker.

SAND WILL DO IT.

road yards one day.

And 1t had a box the fireman was

the wheels are apt TO slip
And when they reach the slippery
spot their tactics they command,
And to get a grip upon the rails they
sprinkle II with sand.
