SEVERE HEMoRRHoiDs
Thought an Operation Necessary -Cuticura's Efficacy Proven.

T am now 80 years old, and three years ago l was taken with an at tack of piles (hemorrhoids), bleeding and protruding. The doctor said the only help for me was to go to a hospital and be operated on. 1 tried several remedies for months but did not get much help. During this time sores appeared which changed to a terrible itching eczema Then I began to use Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and Pills, injecting quantity of Cuticura Ointment with Cuticura Suppository Syringe. It took a month of this treatment to get me in fairly healthy state and then I treated myself once day for three months and, after that, once or twice week. The treatments tried took lot of money, and it is fortunate that I used Cuticura. J. H. Henderson, Hopkinton. N. Y., Apr 26, 1907"

day opened in this waterocked land with great ringing of bells and every shining doorsill there stepped into the crisp morning air the house holds full number Each Hans or Gretchen clasp ing silverbound prayer book, walked sedately to the various places of worship and there lifting up their sweet Holland voices harsh, perhaps. in speech, but full and round in song sent up musical praise for the freedom of their land and the good things of the earth.
 Church over the entire population for the nonce broke through their usual stodness and there was a general scampering of young feet In game dance and catterng of older tongues in friendly gossip as neighbor visited neghbor father wei comed his large flock of grandchildren,
 The great event of this Dutch Thanksgiving day was dinner at which served central dish a queer stew of meat and vegetables which they called Spanish hodge podge. For once in their prac tical lives the Hoanders became facetious, and over this hodge-podge they made merry and cracked jokes at their old-time enemy-Spain The general "hash-like" appearance of the hodge podge was sup posed to represent the condition of the Spanish army when the Dutch had vanquished it. Even the children entered into the fun and kept their history fresh by gleeuly slashing into potato or a turnip and chuckling as they swallowed the nor sels, This is General So-and-So-ah! Me eat him sO!"
 Well the Puritans heartily approved of the early religious services of the morning and their healthy appettes could not fail to appreciate the Spanish hodge -podge however much they may have dis approved of the sentiment which favored it, they entered most heartily into the Dutch Thanksgv- ing of October 3. Tn 1923 these Pilgrims held Oc- tober 3 as a day of Thanksgiving in the New World, and hero have first true American Thanks giving day.
 This day has passed through many vicissitudes since that date There is not festival the al manae fixed or movable, which has had the strug- gle for existence that November holiday has endured
 From 1923 until 1630 Thanksgiving day held in America in various months. some of the Pilgrims keeping to October and other colonists holding q different day by order of the governor.
 In 1630 the people of Massachusetts were suffer ing for food and clothing and Gov. Winthrop hired the good ship Lyon to return to England for sup plies For many days the vessel lay stranded of the Isle of Shoals but finally put out Winter came apace, and nothing heard of the ship The colonsts were nearly disheartened when, Feb ruary 22, 1881. the Lyon sighted and the gov ernor ordered that the day be given over to feast ing and thanksgiving. This is the first written record of a Thanksgiving day in Boston; 1t can still be found in the Colonial Records of Massachu- setts It is interesting fact that this first Bos- ton Thanksgiving held what is now one of most patriotic holidays, Washington's birthday.
 The first record of joint celebration of Thanks giving day is given in the Colonial Records of 1632 when Gov. Winthrop of Massachusetts bay, asked the governor of Plymouth colony to ioin him in is

FUN FOR HAPPY COUPLE"
Modern Wedding Described with Pos
 sibIy Slight Exaseeraton.

The young pair had so many friends that the police were quite unable to cope with the situation. The bride was headed up in a barrel and thrown into the river, while the groom was bound and gagged and suspended by his feet from tall tree.
 At this point the military was called out and arrived at double quick just in time to save the baggage from being pasted over with insulting pla- cards.
 A number of shot were exchanged.
 At late hour the city was reported quiet and the authorities, though not denying the popularity of the high contracting parties, were confident that there would be no more violence. Puck

4 Riddle,

An English paper recently asked it's readers for an answer to the follow. ing riddle:
 What does a man love more than life, Hate more than death or mortal
 strife;
 That which contented men desire. The poor have. and the rich require; A miser spends, the spendthrift saves. And all men carry to their graves?
 All sorts of answers were sent in, but the correct one was declared to be Nothing"

suing a proclamation of a public Thanksgiving day. The invitation was accepted, and in November, 1632, Plymouth colony and Massachusetts Bay colony cele- brated Thanksgiving day to- gether in manner pretty much the same as their de scendants of today, in re- ligious service and feasting and funmaking. The one noticeable omission was the great football game which marks the day in our generation.
 From 1882 until 1877 the New England records show that 22 dlf- ferent dates were set apart by the various governors as days for pub lie thanksgiving, and that with the exception of the two colonies men, toned no two held the day on the same date. The celebrations, how eyer. were held in October or No vember.
 In 1877, as other denominations Lad crept into Plymouth colony. over which the Puritan church had no ruling, the governor decided that 1t would be we'll to have the power of fixing public holidays, whether for feasting, praying or funmaking," vested in civic au- thority. Accordingly in that year the first printed Thanksgiving day proclamation was printed. Thanks. giving day proclamation was print ed, setting November D as the festival.
 The law reads That it be in the power of the governor and as sistants to command solemn dates of humiliation by fasting, etc, and also, thanksgiving as occasion shall be offered"
 This shows that the law called for only occasional" Thanksgiving days and so the holiday was buff feted about hither and yon, from October to November, according to the pleasure of the rulers of the colonies and there never was any feeling of certainty as to the holi- day.
 That if was held annually with

 Going even further back into the remote ages of mot our country, alas--but of the world, find the early Egyptians setting aside day for general thanksgiving and burning of incense and offering sacrifices to their divinity of the crops the Goddess Isis.
 For seven or eight days the Jewish Feast of Tabernaces' was. centuries ago, held during the seventh month, which is November and after the completion of Soomons temple the people that year held 14-day festival which time of thanksgiving and during which time they gave thanks for the abundance of their land. Living in booths they decorated their entire homes with branches of the palm and of citron trees and then showed that it for the yield of the as well for the completion of the temple that they giving thanks.
 Coming forward a century or two we find Thanks giving day being held in England under the name of Harvest Home" This day usually early in November and it opened by church service, which was followed by day of gayety and feasting Thanks given in the churches for the benefits of the season and then the masses focked to the grounds of the "classes 10 which they were all invited Here squire and gentry entertained the peasantry with free and easy dances in the barns wrestling matches and feats of archery, for which prizes given

 Before the Reformation a special day set apart in England for giving thanks, and after the reformation the custom continued with added fervor but after all, it is not from English an cestors, might suppose. that received the inspiration for first Thanksgiving day
 Neither did the idea originate with the Pilgrims themselves They merely continued a custom with which they had become familiar and of which their natures approved, when they were living with their Dutch cousins
 To digress just little It has been claimed by some investigators who stopped just little short of the beginning in tracing backward that the first real Thanksgiving day of true American meaning was held by the Popham coonists of Monhegan, but as they were Episcopalians and gave thanks every week in their regular church ritual this must be blackballed and cast out of our calculation.
 And now to return to the Pilgrims and the GUS toms they absorbed while protected in Holland The pious Dutch before the Pilgrims hocked to their peaceful land, had set apart October on which to give thanks for their harvest. but more especially tor their deliverance from Spanish authority. The
