THE ORIGIN OF THANKSGIVING

The origin Of Thanksgiving Day
is due to the early settlers Of New
England. In 1907. when America
was first being settled by the Eng :
Iish no people IN any part Of
Europe conld worship in the way
they chose, but the law of England
required them to attend the Pro-
testant Episcopal Church. which
was the national church, and to
also pay taxes for the support Of
that church. There were three
CLASSES OF good people. the catho-
lies. the Puritans and the Separa-
lists, who opposed that Law. The
Catholics did not think 1t was right
for them 10 be compelled to help
support and maintain creed that
they did not accept. and for this
reason they objected to the law.
The Puritan believed in the doc
trine Of the English Church. but
die not believe IN some Of the cere-
moaies. They called themselves
Puritans because they wanted to
purify some Of the ceremonies Of
the church. The Separatists. like
the Puritans, believed In the doc
trine of the national church, but
did not believe In some of the GER
emonies. and decided to separate
from that church and set up con-
gregatiops Of their own.
Those who wanted religious lib
erty, because liberty in that respect
could not be had in England, de-
cided 10 come to America. where
they hopep they could worship
God in the way they chose without
being molested. In 1870 a part Of
the Separatists or Pilgrims as they
called themselves, since they had
no real home, started for America.
The only English settlement in
America at that time was at James
town, Va. The Pilgrims could not
go there, because the only worship
allowed there was that Of the Eng
lish Church; so they decided to
find a place close TO the Hudson
River to make settlement. They
had to FIRST get the consent Of the
king OF England. He at FIRST
would not openly consent. but 6Dal-
ly said he would twink at their
tor America. =

The Barn Owl.

This owl should be protected, for it
fulfills in the highest degree the three
possible relations of a bird to man.
One of the best methods of studying
the food habits of the barn owl is by
examining the disgorged pellets,
which are composed of the undigested
parts of their food. Those which I
have examined have been composed
almost entirely of the remains of
mice, rats and moles. In parts, OF
California, where this owl is plentiful
it has so persistently fed upon the
gopher as to become prominent
factor in boiling this destructive
rodent in check. In the south tine
cotton rat Is quite destructive, in the
cotton growing districts, and accord
ing to the eminent authorities
Audubon, and Baehman, the barn ow
renders good service in destroying
these rats.-silas A. Lottridge, Ii
