where-and by a little stretch of the mag
ination cam you believe there was an oc-
casional turk that never reached market.
but made an impromptu Thanksgiving
feast there by the country road?
Down In New England once, almost 800
years ago, when there wasn't o white man
along the whole New England coast, ex-
cept those In the little settlement Of TWEEN
ty or so houses at Plymouth, the governor
of Plymouth set apart a day for Thanks
giving, n an invitation went out to the
Indian friends OF the settlers to come and
Join them.
Listen, you who worry as to where
withal ye shall be fed, whenever your
mother-in-law or three or four country
cousins swoop down to spend .Thanksgiv-
ing with you: On that first Thanksgiving
morning there came fling out OF the dark
evergreen woods into little Plymouth
town, the shiny brown bodies OF ninety
greedy Indian guests. Think OF lei Do
you wonder that New England housewives
have been noted from that day to this for
strenuous cooking?
Think of the Thanksgiving turkeys tint
disappeared that day! And listen: Those
Indians were SO we'll pleased with their re-
ception that they decided to stay on and
for three long days those Massachusetts
women stewed and broiled and roasted
and baked to I'LL those friendly savages
until finally these savage guests had to be
invited as cordially to 20 as they had In
the first place been invited to come.
Thanksgiving day and the turkey din
ner! We couldn't spare them!
Many a poor fellow in later lfe-temp-
tation tossed and weak, has been strength
ened and braced for trials by the thought
OF the old home with its dear folks around
the comfortable Thanksgiving table of his
childhood.
