s GREAT NATIONAL FESTIVAL s
Thanksgiving Day Is Essentially American-The
= First Prayer in Congress

With the exception of Christmas
and New Years celebrations, our
United States holidays commemorate
some historical event, the birth of
few of our great American leaders, or
in more recent years they are set
aside for some public service in def
erence to the wishes of some extern
sive organization, as Arbor day, Labor
day. etc. We have no national holf-
day. not even the Fourth of July.
Congress has at various times APP
pointed special holidays, but there is
no general law upon the subject.
Thanksgiving, the first essentially
American feast day, is holiday in
all the States, though in some it is
not a statutory holiday The first
general Thanksgiving of which we
have any record was that kept by the
Pilgrim settlers of Massachusetts Bay
colony. in the year 1921. The long,
severe New England winters, with
SHOWS from five to seven months, the
short. hot summers, the sterile, sandy
soil-which even to-day is productive
in places only through high cultiva-
ton-left these brave forefathers of
ours in almost starving condition. So
low had become their supplies for
subsistence that at last day of fast
ing and prayer was appointed, when
all We're to unite in suppication for
divine succor. Happily abundant
food and other necessities arrived be-
fore the appointed fast day, so their
fasting was changed to feasting, and
prayer and supplication to praise and
thanksgiving. This Thanksgiving
service was often repeated through
the remaining years of that century
Congress recommended days of
thanksgiving annually during the
Revolutionary War, and in 1884 for
che return OF peace.
The following is a copy of the first
prayer in Congress:
20 Lord, our Heavenly Father, high
and mighty King of Kings and Lord
of Lords, who dost from Thy throne
behold all the jewellers on earth, and
reignest with power supreme and I'M
controlled over all the kingdoms, en-
pires and governments, look down in
mercy. we beseech Thee, on these
American States, who have fed to
Thee from the rod of the oppressor
and thrown themselves on Thy gra-
cious protection. desiring to be hence
forth dependent only on Thee; TO
Thee they have appealed for right
eousness of their cause; to Thee do
they now look up for that countenance

ExjIes in Celebration.

In the Philippines, in Alaska. in Por-
to Rico, Panama and elsewhere many
Americans will celebrate their
Thanksgiving in a manner that will
duplicate the old Thanksgiving days
of the early settlers in New England.
Like the old Puritans, who attended
divine service with guns in their
grasp. ready for Indian attacks, Amer
leans in the Philippines will celebrate
with rifles in their hands. But there
will be no snow in the air; no nippine

frosty east wind, they will have soft

SOUND ADVICE.
Miss Barnum's Wise Words to the
Working Girls.

Miss Gertrude Barnum of the
Woman's Union Label League wants
all working girls to join trades unions.
After Il long tour through the South
in the interests of the girls, she said:
A girl is never sure what will
strike her trade. and she is fool if
she waits till it strikes before she
forms her union. Moreover, some new
machines will be invented and thou
sands of girls will be put out of work
at once and will have to go into some
other trade.
IF the girls do not keep up wages in
all the trades they cannot be sure of
living wages week after next.
IF girls take low wages men will
have to do the same, and there will be
no young men earning enough money
to marry the girls and bring up fami-
lies. Girls must think of all these
things

TWO KINDS OF BOYCOTT.

The boycott as defined by Post and
his gang has two meanings, one the
antithesis of the other. The boycott,
when practiced by labor union, is
contrary to public policy, but, when
put into practice by a band of EN-
ployers is the very essence of public
policy. For instance, it is wrong for
union men to boycott the product OF
the grape nuts factory, but it is all
right for the manufacturers associa-
lions to boycott any firm which re
fuses to join said association. Fine rea-

MISCONCEPTIONS
Common Quotations Which T. Very
Commonly Misused.

Commonly
Nashville American.
During the remarks in the Swayne
case Congressman Clayton of Alabama
used the quotation, 1.-The tree is known
by his fruit" Whereupon there was
laughter among certain Republicans,
who thought Mr.. Clayton guilty Of
misquoting. But he quoted correctly.
The Bible says: EITHER make the tree
good, aud his fruit good; or else make
the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt;
for the tree is known by his fruit"
The Bible is often misguided. 80 is
Shakespeare. 1t would require col
ums to name the misquotatIons of
Shakespeare. A few examples may
be cited. "Comparisons are odious' Is
a misquotalion. Shakespeare wrote
Comparisons are odOrous." Another
misquOlation is, Zone foot on sea and
one OIL land" Shakespeare. wrote,
Zone foot in sea and N on land"
OF poor old Jack it is commonly
quoted, "And then he babbled ofgreen
fields" The correct quotation is, IA
babbled of green fields" The great
bard is often made to say, IA locker
on IN Venice" What he wrote was,
"A locker on in Vienna" Misery
acQuaints a man with strange bedfel-
lows" is often quoted as "Misery makes
strange bedfellows." Another mis-
quotation is, Man clothed in a little
brief authority" Shakespeare wrote
'uressed" aud not 'clothed.n We Of
ten see this:
Nothing eXtenuate,
Nor aught set down in malice.
Shakespeare wrote it this way:
Nothing extenuate,
Nor set down aught in malice.
Scores CT such misquotations might
be- cited. Here is a misquotation that
is without seuse:
A mar convinced againsthis will
Is of the same opinion still.
Manifestly such a thing is impossi-
BILE. Butler wrote intelligently:
He that complies against his will
Is of his own opinion still.
"Look before you leap" is another
misquotation from Butler, who wrote;
Look before you ere you leap"
Many persons insist on substituting
"even" for ''noiseless" in Gray's i'm
mortal Elegy, "Kept the noiseless ten.
or of their way"
If she seem not chaste to be,
What care I how chaste she be?
That Is the way Sir Walter Raleigh
wrote it. Behold how it so often ap-
pears in misquotation:
If she be not fair to me,
What care 1 how fair she be?
This is straying pretty far. INC
pentup Utica contracts your powers
wrote Sewall, but it generally appears,
"No pent-up Utica confines his pow,
ers." Cali is not gold that glitters" is
a misquotatioE f"All is not gold that
glisteneth." The same author wrote,
depreciation from Sir Hubert Stan
ley is praise indeed" but it is often
misauoted. 1t should be "Speed the
going guest" according to Pope.
"Fresh woods and pastures new
wrote Milton, but Fields" is often sub
stituted. An "unruly evil' is the ton
que; not an "unruly member" One
more misquotation of Shakespeare:
Mercy ''droppeth as the gentle rain"
not ''dew."
