The Original Thanksgiving,

The poor people of England long
ed for a country they could call their
own and they set sail for the New
World. One hundred and two OF
them came over on the Mayaower.
The voyage lasted over three months
and on December the 2lst 1920
they landed ON the shores of Amerl-
ca. The coast was covered with
snow The prospects were dim but
! these puritans were brave and shrank
not from any hard work They land
ed safely.
Before landing the men gathered
i'm the cabin Of the May6owcr and
agreed upon % form of government
1t was written and signed by each aud
John Carver was made the first go, -
ernor.
These Puritans were good indus
trious and charitable. As soon As
they landed they began cutting down
trees and building house,, Nineteen
houses aud one storchousc were built.
The Indians peeped from behind
the trees, but did not modest them.
The winter was not very severe but
the settlers suffered severely Pneu-
monia or lung fever swept of many.
Half had died before spring. One
was governor Carver.
One morning an Indian came from
the woods and passing through camp
shouted, Welcome, Enghshmcu
Welcome, Englishmen' 1t was "a

The Puritans raised a bountiful
crop in the year 1921 They felt
like they ought to give God thank 5
for their crops, so on the last Thurs
day in November, 1921, these Puri-
tans held the first Thanksgiving.
They prepared feast and the Iudi-
ans and the white men enjoyed the
Thanksgiving together
They had turkey and pumpSin At
the feast for dinner.
The last Thursday in each Noyem-
Der is set apart for Thanksgiving.
Then let us be thankful for all we
have. There are many children who
have no homes, who have no kind
parents and have no nice, warm clo-
thing.
We should be thankful for our
homes, our kind parents, our nice

PRISONERS EXCEED GARRISON.
Castle William on Governors Island
 OVercrowded.

New York, April, 3O-There is curious state of affairs at the army post on Governors Island. The number of prisoners confined in Castle William exceeds by more than 100 the number of men garrisoned on the island. Mill itary prisoners from all the posts in the department of the east are con- fined in Castle William. and lately the prison of the department of the lakes at Chicago has become so crowded that many western prisoners have been sent here. Some of them are pretty tough specimens, the officers at Governors Island say.
 Castle William today held 332 pris- oners, 112 more than the number of men garrisoned on the island. The officers don't fear that any of their charges will escape, however. Mighty few military prisoners have succeed ed in taking French leave from Cover nor's Island of late years.

The ves- sel was sighted by the Coskata life savers a short time before one o'clock. but five minutes later she disappeared from sight completely, and since then nothing has been seen of her.
 Although the identity of the schoon- CT is not known, it is believed that she was commanded by Octavius W. Lewis, who left Hartford, Conn, last week in charge of a small schooner bound for this port.
 The disappearance of the vessel is a mystery to the Coskata life savers, who had a close watch on her. It is possible that she may have become en- veloped in a fog bank and swept with it out to sea before the wind.

or practice the gospel of repose. Rest must be worth more to scores of us than the smattering of a dozen and more subjects we acquire in the course of 2 seasons pursuit of lectures and meetings, but we neglect to rest and then We pay the beauty doctors nice fat fees to smooth out the kinks and wrinkles that tell to all who care to ob- serve the story of strained nerves. Even when we get to bed many of us do not know how to release the tension and We think we must hold the bed up the same as we try to push the trolley car along with our strained anxiety when we are caught in a blockade. Men are by no means so foolish as we are in this respect. They give all their atten- ton to their work when they are at it, but they all know how to play, and the wise ones believe in a good leaven of playtime.

 It has also been thoHght that many of the wealthy eastern members of the Rough Rider organization like Woodbury Kane, might contribute to the monument fund, supplementing the

APPEAL TO PRESIDENT
Strikers Want no Federal Troops in
 Chicago.

Chicago, April 30.-Anticipating that todays peace conference at Mayor Dunne's office would be futile, the Chi cago Federation of Labor, without waiting for the announcement of the re- suit of negotiations, appealed to Presi- dent Roosevelt and Governor Deneen for assistance in terminating the team sters strike.
 Fearing that troops may be sent to Chicago to preserve order during the strike. the labor organization has ask ed both the president and governor to investigate the situation before taking such action. To facilitate the matter a committee was appointed with or ders to communicate at once with both the president of the nation and Cover nor Deneen.
 The determined effort on the part mittee to bring about an amicable settlement of the strike was an aDso- lute failure and all peace negotiations for the present at least have oeen de- clared off. The indications tonight are that the strike is bound to spread to other firms. Both sides seem deter mined in the stand they have taken.
 Nine hundred extra policemen will be put on duty in the downtown dis trict tomorrow morning. The streets are free from rioting today as no ef- fort was made to make deliveries to the firms involved.
