yE pIous PILGRIMS.
re Duc,< wns shot on Ye Lords Day,
but They Ate II.

That the pious pilgrims of Plymouth
rock were not without some sense Of
humor is shown in this account of
colonial Thanksgiving church service
and dinner, written in the year 1T14
by the Rev. Lawrence Conant of the
Old South parish in Dapvers, Mass:
"Ye governor was in ye house and
her majesty's' commissioners of ye GUS
toms, and they sat together In high
seat of ye pulpit stairs. Ye governor
appears very devout ana attentive, a.
though lie favors episcopacy. He was
dressed in black velvet coat bordered
with gold lace, and buff breeches with
gold buckles ut ye knees and white silk
stockings. i'E
There was a disturbance In We gal
leries, where 1t was filled with divers
negroes, mufattoes and Indians, and
negro called Pomp Shorter, belong
ing to Mr.. Gardiner. was called forth
and put in ye broad aisle, where he
was reproved with great carefulness
and solemnity.
''He was put in ye deacons' seat, be-
tween two deacous, In view of ye
whole congregation, but ye sexton was
ordered by MIR. Prescott to take him
out because of his levity and strange
contortion OF countenance, giving
grave scandal to ye grave deacons and
put him in ye lobby under ye stairs.
"When ye services at ye meeting
house were ended ye council and other
dignltaries were entertained at ye
house of Mr.. Epes on ye hill near by,
and we had bountlful Thanksgiving
dinner, with bears meat and venison,
the last of which was fine buck shot
in ye woods near by.
"After ye blessing was craved by
Mr. Garrick of Wrentham word came
that ye buck was shot on We Lords
day by Pequot, an Indian, who came
to Mr. Epes with a lye in his mouth,
like Ananias of old. Ye council, there
fore, refused to eat ye venison, but 1t
was afterward decided that Pequot
should receive forty stripes save one
for lying and profaning ye Lords day,
restore Mr.. Epes ye cost of we deer,
and considering this just and right
eous sentence on ye sinful heathen,
and that blessing had been craved on
ye meat, ye council all partook Of 1t
but Mr.. Shepard, whose conscience
was tender on ye point of ye venison."

MAYOR JEFFREY of Columbus,
who last year prohibited turkey
raffles on Thanksgiving Day, will
sanction the ratfles this year in
ealoons or elsewhere. Aside from
announcing that rafting of tur-
keys will be allowed, the Mayor
stated that he did not consider the
railing game to be any worse than
that which is carried on at church
fairs. AS soon as the churches
stopped the latter he felt that the
former could be adjusted, but while
one is allowed to be carried on it
was an injustice to prohibit the
other.

AT THE CAPITAL.
How Thanksgiving Day Is Observed
In the Foreign Legations.

Our American feast is observed in
the foreign legations at Washington by
customs peculiar TO the mother cOun-
try, and the dishes known in the "fa-
theirs house are most in evidence,
even though the American fowl has its
place. Sir Henry Mortimer Durand pre-
sides at the feast in the household of
the British embassy and gathers about
him coterie of friends. Here the Gus
tom of the country represented and the
one adopted bear resemblance, and
the day is observed without marked
change in their mode of living.
But in the legations of the japanese,
the Korean and the South American
the conformity to American observ-
ing in American foods, means decid-
ed change on the menu cards, and, yet
with but few exceptions the diplomats
and attaches make an effort TO observe
the customs in our country.
The Chinese form an exception, for in
several instances the presiding genius
of the Chinese kitchen has refused to
become enthused into any flights of
astronomical idealisms by Thanksglv-
ing or any other Christian feast. Yet
the spread made on that day is of true
Celestial magnfcence. And when the
meal is over, with its varied dishes, the
Chinese minister and his close at
taches, no doubt, adjourn to the smok-
Ing room with their pipes and hop dol

China, and China is like heaven."-Ina
