In the busy rush of living very few
people find time to be thankful for or
| realize the everyday and vital bless
lngs that are curing in upon them
| The Puritans must have recognized
this even in their day, when they in
augurated a custom that has become
as firmly fixed as the constitution of
| the United States. While the ad-
herents of the Pilgrim church, which
was exiled from England in 1908 and
sent q colony over to New England
| In the Mayhower in 1920, are unques-
tionably to be credited with our ma
tional Thanksgiving day, which ap-
peals so deeply to the heart of the
patriotic American, the custom of
thanksgiving was undoubtedly sug-
gested by the Hebrew Feast of the
Tabernacles" or Feast OF Ingather-
ing" at the end of the year. Occa-
sional thanksgiving was not unusual
in Europe.
After the first harvest of the colon
lists at Plymouth in 1921 Gov Bradford
sent four men out fowlingS that they
might rejoice and celebrate in feast
| ing together. In July, 1923, day of
| fasting and prayer was appointed on
account of the drought. Rain came
while the people were praying and the
governor appointed day for thanks
giving which was observed with re-
| ligious service. There was a similar
change of fast-day into Thanksgiving
In 1881, when supplies came from Ire
land nf INT
nents, however, were made at various
seasons of the year and for special
urposes-sually for the timely ar
rival of ships with supplies-but in
later years on account of the harvests.
This substantiated fixed Thanksgiv-
ing day late in the fall after the har-
vest time was over and also the cele-
bration of the day by first religious
service and then feast When the
revolutionary war began Thanksgiv-
Ing had become national holiday and
was annually recommended by con-
gress. However, after the general
thanksgiving for peace in 1884 there
was no national appointment until
17S9 when President Washington by
request of congress, recommended
setting aside day of thanks for the
adoption of the constitution In later
years, during the civil war, Lincoln
issued a proclamation recommending
special thanksgiving for victory in
1862 and 1868. Since then proclama-
tions have been made by the president
and governors of the various states,
and custom has fixed the date on the
last Thursday in November.
1t is 2S4 years since that first
Thanksgiving dinner in New England
was eaten, but to many Of us the
aroma of the turkey as we gather
around the table, surrounded by fam
lily and friends to offer up thanks for
the abundance of worldly goods with
which our households have been sup
piled. will recall the legends of the
old New England days and review the
customs OF that Thanksgiving in Ply
mouth in 1921. With little stretch
Of the Imagination one can almost dis
cern that throng of sober-looking
bearded men, clad in dark colored gar
ments and wearing steeple-crowned
hats. with here and there among them
the women with quantity shaped hoods
and devoid OF ribbons, jewelry and or
naments. 1t was such gathering as
this that Hester Prynne faced when
condemned to wear the scarlet letter.

TRAPPERS' PROSPEROUS TINES
Furs Worth More Now Than For
Past Thirty Years.

The many trappers operating along
the northern boarder will reap rich
harvest the present winter, meaning
many comforts, even luxuries, in the
log cabins of scores of sturdy settlers
in the wilds of the northern country,
who are mainly dependent upon their
traps during the cold months for a
livelihood.
The settlers and professionals in the
country directly tributary to the Great
Lakes look to mink. marten and otter
to make their trapping operations
profitable, and the pelts Of these little
animals at present command a higher
price than at any time during the past
thirty years, while there has been a
decided slump in the prices paid for
furs from the black, blue and silver
fox which bring only $50 each now,
where a year or two ago they were as
high as $500 apiece.
Last wi, ter $3.50 was considered a
good price for a mink pelt, and 1t
wasn't more than a season or two back
that $3.50 was the highest paid for a
single pelt of this kind. Now a choice
raw mink fur will bring s11, and mar
ten pelt from $1S to $40, where Sc or 81
was paid last winter. An otter skin is
worth $22 just as it comes from the
trapper's hands, which is away above
any price paid for more than thirty
years. Quite a few fisher are caught
through northern Minnesota and these
are worth from So to $40. Beaver are
very scarce in this state. They are
worth from 81 to SO each.
The higher prices paid for furs will
also prove a boon to the Minnesota

With so much interest focused on
happenings in Russia, it would be
strange indeed If we did no. receive a
taste of Russian drama. The leading
cities Of the country are now centering
their attention upon the Russian play
"Monna Wanna" the tkle role of which
is being essayed by Madame Bertha
Kalich, Polish actress who won fame
in the Yiddish theatres on the Bowery
in New York City.
Madame Kalich may not be considered
beautiful woman but through the nat
uralness of her acting she touches every
spark of humanity that glows in the
human breast. Six years. ago she did
not know a word of E-glish, yet her
mastery at the present time of one of
the most difficult of all speaking
tongues, is remarkable. Not only does
she speak English we'll but she is fam
iliar with five other languages-Ger-
man, Polish, Russian, French and Yid-
dish. For years she has been acting
at the Russian and Hebrew theatres
of New York City. Her first appearance
In an English speaking play was a
year or so ago when she played the
name part in Fedora" Her earlier
performances were disappointing but
at the end Of fortnight she made a
profound impression upon her audience.
The Breckenridge news., 1906-02-21

So far this Is the story Of Monna Wanna
for the American people are not ac'
customed to the mannerisms and act
ing of the Russian plays.
Madame Bertha Kalich Is tall and
of the brunette type usual to the He
brew, with eyes that while most express
sive, can hardly be said to be winning.
She cannot be classed as beautiful,
but her art has a mimicry which is
sure to bring fame to her. Critics lay
great faith in her possibilities as an
actress. They believe that after thor
ough schooling on the American stage,
the requirements of which are far diff.
ferent from those of the Russian, she
will become famous, for she comes OF
a race which has achieved wonders
And when we encounter marked talent
in the Hebrew race no one living can
predict how many rungs of the ladder OF
fame may be traversed successfully. The
greatest actors, not only of the present
age but of the past, have been and
are Jews. OF the women we have from
Rachel to Bernhardt, and the mer
ralge from Dawson to Edwin Booth
while passing reflections may be giver
to the ability of David Garrick, Mrs
Siddons and host of others in whose
veins were some drops of Oriental
blood.
Bertha Kalich's appearance in Chi
cago was greeted with an outburst OF
enthusiasm which continued through
out the many weeks Of her perform
ance there. Such a well-known critic as
w. H. Hubbard of the Chicago Tribune
in reviewing "Monna Wanna" and Its
leading actress, said, Madame Kalich
is enrolled in the list of great artists
She is now an actress of peculiar and
uncommonly attractive qualities and
gives every promise Of becoming in a
few seasons one of the most notable
women on the American stage. Watch
ing her during the week has brought
conviction that she is the possessoI
of remarkable talents and that these
talents are susceptible Of developing
and shaping which can but place her
high in the esteem Of a large class
of the best theatre-goers and add an.
other great artist to the small list OF
really gifted players that our stage
can boast. She has the power indis'
nensable to any artist who is to endure
and whose work is to be of any wide
reaching influence-the power to at
tract the public.

What are we going to do?" asked
DR.. Hale in his deep voice. I'VE must
use both common sense and sentiment
in deahng with the forest question.
1t is a very great question. The in
dividuals interested in American for
estry, even though they be millionaires
or multi-millionaires, can not accom-
plish anything definite and lasting un-
less the states and the general govern
ment can be awakened to the necessity
of giving the cause large and substan-
tial assistance which it merits. Com
mon sense, in forestry, means that the
forestry question should be put upon
a business basis. In order to make a
large. immediate profit forests are de-
stroyed; they should be cut with some
reference to the future; in other words
they should be cropped. All the gov
ernments of Europe rely largely upon
their forest lands for revenue. A sim
liar condition should and could be
brought about in this country"

Secretary Wilson has more than
once manifested a deep interest in the
question of American Forestry. Mr..
Wilson has, in fact, for some years been
elected and reelected President of the
American Forestry Association, a pow
erful organization, composed OF public
pirited men throughout the country,

and preservation, even to the reforest-

ing of trees upon barren prairie lands.
That the movement in the United
States is coming to be considered an
important one is to some extent evi-
denced by the increased recognition of
the subject by Congress, which is also
due largely to Secretary Wilson's en-
thusiasm. When Mr.. Wilson was ap

President Mckinley, his forestry di

Indians, or such Of them at least as
have any business ability. A good
many of the Indians trap during the
winter, but the trouble with the major
ity of them Is that they do not know
the value of their catch and are likely
to sell $22 otter pelt for "a or IS, and
$11 mink pelt for dollar, or perhaps
pint of whiskey. The white man is
well aware of this fact, and some a.
gents make it their business during the
winter to do nothing but buy furs of
the Indians, selling them later at a
handsome margin of profit.
These agents usually travel from re
servation to reservation by dog team
or snow shoes.
Even the little weasel, scores OF
which daily leave their tiny tracks
in the snow on the outskirts of the
towns are worth 81 each for their pelts
They were valueless three years ago
and two years ago were worth 10 cents
each. For a time last winter the pelts
brought so cents each. The weasel
also belongs to the homologue Of the
American sable together with the mar
ten, mink, fisher and otter. The Ameri
can sable really is the marten, accord
ing to some authorities. II Is common
ly called the pine marten, and at FRS
glance the only distinguishing feature
between 1t and the mink is a spot o.
beautiful orange color on its throat
Just under the chin.
A grizzly bear skin is worth $40, Il

grizzly bears are unknown In th'

trapped and shot, however. by settlers

Congress for forestry of 100000. Since
then forestry division has been advanc-
ed into a separate bureau of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, employing over
500 men and having an annual appro-
priation from Congress of upwards OF
one-half a million dollars. Fully a
million acres of forest lands in the
eastern part of the United States have
been turned over to the Bureau OF
Forestry for management on a practi-
cal and scientific basis which will en-
able the cutting of the forest for lum-
ber and at the same time insuring
succeeding "crops" of timber, while
over 100 100000 of the acres of COVER
ment Forest reserves in the west have
also been turned over to the Bureau
of Forestry for administration. 1t is
probable that at least another $4,000,
600 acres of public timber land will be
placed in federal reserves.
Secretary Wilson in his opening ad-
dress at the recent annual meeting OF
the American Forestry Association in
Washington, uttered a clear note OF
warning against the wholesale reduc-
ton of the woodland area in the
country.
mo nation on earth is as successful

indiscriminate mutilation of the forests
must be stopped; the matter has be-
come one of national interest which
can not much longer be ignored by the
people or by our legislators.
