President Roosevelt and Miss Ethel

That very concession Of nature, ex.
pressed through the noble bird itself,
made Thanksgiving day possible,
plausible and eminently sensible. For,
though 1t may have been a matter OF
course in the olden times to load up
the arquebus, or whatever shooting
iron happened to be at hand, plunge
into the bowling wilderness back of
the woodshed and decimate the body

Just think of the staggering diff

Cranberry Sauce.
In this year of rather hard times
among literary folk, when all such
are scrambling through the forests
or ideas where the good ones slip
away and the bad ones try to be
caught, or getting tangled up in the
muses. skirts, it seems strange that
nobody thinks of singing the praises
of the wee, modest cranberry.
The rose, the violet, lily of the val
ley, Indian corn, the "punkin" and
the rosy red apple-all have had their
turn, and have been pretty we'll gone
over till they look secondhand. But
the cranberry, nectar and ambrosia
at once, thel natural accompaniment
of roast turkey just as apple sauce
is indispensable to roast pig, is yet
in the moss awaiting its biographer
and singer.
1t here becomes necessary to at
tach a historical date to the cram
berry, since that is the invariable way
to clinch the attention of the world
to it's noble, sedentary existence. And,
should it be sufficiently historical,
someone will write book around
the cranberry. In looking about over
the sea of faces any one of which
might be linked with our good berry,
we are struck by the forlornness Of

Baked Indian.

Tut, tut; don't run away. This re-
fers not to any cannibalistic Novem.
Der venture; simply to pudding.
And a pudding. if you will allow,
more filling than Yorkshire, more
kind to the digestion than plum, and
more subtle than the tongues OF
pheasants; compounded of hen corn.
A lucid picture here shows how the
first corn was ground for the Bay
State colony. Be absolutely certain
that the Indian, whose name is Lo,
and who represents the common type
of mill prevalent in the olden days,
is not enjoying himself, as he whisks
the stones around and around, Jam
ming his finger now and anon, and
saying strange syllables in Michigan.
The man standing near is a Pilgrim,
who will shoot if the fate of his
baked Indian pudding becomes i'm
periled. While the stones go round,
and Los finger is being sufficiently
lacerated, there is time to talk about
this Thanksgiving necessity.
Certain it is that the Indians in
New England were cultivating this
Indian corn, or maize, when the Puri'
tan-Pilgrims made landing on Cape
Cod Or, to be more explicit, the
squaws were cultivating the corn
while the bucks cultivated the friend
ship of nature and placed bears
grease on their hair. The sturdy ia
theirs who waded ashore out of the
MayfOwer were not slow in discover
ing the temper of their palates to
ward Indian corn.
The story runs that the good set
tiers found several frozen mounds OF
earth, and with curiosity somewhat
animated with the monOtony of salt
herring, dug into them with their
swords. There they found pits OF
bark, in which baskets of corn re
posed, and these were straightway ap
propriated without so much as beg
your-pardon. 1t was rare find, for
though our pity goes out to the Indian
squaws and little papooses, whose
Thanksgiving dinner was so precip
itately snatched, we must try to be-
lieve that the end justified the means
and eat our baked Indian with un
trammeled relish.
Just as there are many mon OF

Indians of varying goodness. We pro
