A good trailer was Donald Mckay,

small party of the hostiles had
branched off to the northwest Donald
knew their number and guessed their
object.
Silently the pursuit continued. Day

Soon it was followed by another
bark. and bang! A bullet tipped past
the troopers.
Then came the defiant war whoop
telling that the Indians had put none
but Americans on guard that might;
and that the warriors were stirring
and ready to meet the United States,
the great nation with whom they were
at war.
Quickly the troopers accommodated
them. There were volleys from both
sides. dashing cavalry charge
through the camp, reassembling by
bugle call on the other side, and
another rush through.
II was blind business in the dark
hut the Indians gave shot for shot as
they scattered around in the sage
brush and posted themselves in ra-
vines.
As daylight came, the troopers
closed in on the camp, and what
warriors remained in ii died defiant.
The camp was medley of willow
pole wickiups and alternating wind
breaks shaped like the modern hats
worn by women. When the soldiers
got full possession they rather ignored
the scattering shots that came from
the ravines, for they would rather hive
the bees that were left than kill them.
And they knew that the bulk of the

The wounded were being looked

hostiles they had better cease firing

While Thanksgiving day prospered
in New England. it was not until the

thanksgiving was annually recon.

AS we now have 1t, the festival
dates from 1864, when President Lin
coin issued proclamation for setting
apart the last Thursday in November
of that year as a day of national
thanksgiving.
In his proclamation, Lincoln says:

long our national life another year, de.

abroad and vouchsafing to us In His
mercy many and signal victories over

United States has annually proclaimed
a thanksgiving day and this Is gen.

tions by the governors of the various
states. The day, however, is not OBJ
served in every state. for in Arkan.

countries now and again, as in Great

day comes each year as regularly as
Christmas.
As a generally observed national
holiday, Thanksgiving day is only
forty-one years old this year, yet It's
history is in a measure of much
greater antiquity. Like many anoth-
er custom, we owe this to those stern
| Puritans who separated" and came
to Massachusetts bay to make last
ing impression upon the social life OF
the New World. The history of the
first Thanksgiving day in the Mas
sachusetts plantation has been vari-
ously given. In 1921, 1t is said, day
of thanksgiving was observed in ac-
acknowledgement of the Pilgrims first
harvest in America.
Those were trying days for the
colonists. The winter was one of
great severity and scarcity. The peo-
Pile. we arc quantity told, were ne

after an interval of many months the

A general fast day had been pre-
viously appointed, but the arrival Of
the Lion, bearing this sorely needed
relief, changed their mourning into
10y. and, as Winthrop records in his
journal, a day of thanksgiving was
held in "all the plantations"
Franklin has left an interesting ac-
count of the origin of Thanksgiving in
America, which is not without his hui

his similar writings. is perhaps not as

ciGNIFICANT RETURNS.

Considerable comment is still being
made on the narrow escape OF Draper,
the Republican nominee for lieutenant
governor Of Massachusetts, from defeat
at the last election. Although the Re-
publican candidate for governor was
elected by a plurality Of nearly 10000
Draper had less than 2,000 plurality
The vote against Draper is explained
by the fact that on the tariff question
he is a radical standpatter. If the mat
ter of tariff revision were left TO him
he would make the duties heavier in
stead of lighter
Curtis Guild. the Republican gov
ernor- elect, entertains liberal tariff
views, so liberal. IN fact. that he has
offended The radical wing Of his party.
This accounts for his election, for Mas
sacl.usetts is heavily Republican under
normal conditions. But politicians have
no hesitation in saying that if Draper
had been running for governor instead
OF for lieutenant governor he would
surely have been defeated.
The Office is not considered specially
important and many Republicans who
voted for him for lieutenant governor
for the sake Of regularity would not
have voted for him for governor. The
vote was significant as showing the
strength Of the revision sentiment. It
is a sentiment that cannot be much
longer ignored by the ruling party.

more Christian ministers have not been

not one of religion. We refuse to be-

TIE RUSSIAN ATROCITIES.

Baron Hirschberg. in an address de-
livered the other day to q Jewish con-
gregation in Chicago. discussed With
much vigor the almost complete failure
OF Christian ministers TO speak against
the massacre Of the Jews IN Russia.
The baron said: 1--WE have been wait
ing patiently for some strong and
manly sentiment from the Christian
world, knowing full well that such an
expression would appeal more strongly
10 the Russian government than all the
prayers and petitions of Jewish organ
stations and Populations, but we have
waited in vain.
THAT is a strong indictment, and the
presumption is that Baron Hirschberg
would not have drawn it if it had had
no foundation in fact. II is not literally
true. though, that ali Christian minis
tiers have RETAINED from condemnation
OF the Jewish massacres. Some OF them
have made vigorous talks on the SUBJ
ject. expressing their disapprovaI IN
the strongest possible language. Most
OF the important newspapers of the
country, too, have been outspoken in
their condemnation, although not one
tenth of one per cent of the newspapers
are owned or controlled by Jews.
II does seem pity. though, that
