PASSED THE VENIS0N.
One Member Of the Council Had a
Tender Conscience,

This quaint account of an old time
Thanksgiving celebration in New Eng
land was found in the diary of Con-
necticut minister, dated in the year
1714:
"When We services at ye meeting
house were ended ye council and other
dignitaries were entertained at the
house of Mr.. Epes on ye hill near by,
where we had bountiful Thanksglv-
ing dinner, with bears meat and venl.

shot in the woods near by.
"After ye blessing was craved word
came that ye buck was shot on yc
Lords day by Pequot, an Indian, who
came to Mr.. Epes with a lye In his
mouth, like Ananias of old Ye com
ell therefore refused to eat ye venlson,
but 1t was afterward decided that Pc
quot should receive forty stripes save
one for lying and profaning on ye
Lords day and restore Mr.. Epes ye
price of ye deer, and, considering this
just and righteous sentence on ye sim

been craved on ye meat, ye council all
partook of 1t but Mr.. Shepard, whose

The Magazine West.

Once there was newspaper man
who came up into my country to write
up the way his syndicate thought 1t
ought to be. His sombrero was very
wide and rakishly tilted-away from
the sun. His shirt was open at the
throat and decorated with handker-
chief, but because he did not know
why cowboys wear handkerchiefs
around their necks he wore it like a
girl at a picnic. 1t was white silk and
became him very well. There had not
been an arrest made in Maverick for
nearly three years. but the syndicate
man had so much gun metal on him
that he fairly clanked. When he first
struck our town he saw an Indian, In
shirt sleeves and overalls, leaning
against the doorsill of general store.
He was Johnny Dean, graduate Of
the Carson school. who played the cor
net and afterward organized a labor
strike among the Indians at the salt
works. The syndicate man clapped
him On the back and said:
Heap big Indian. come drink fire
water"
Dean looked him all over. with the
gentle flicker of n smile. "Thank you,"
he said. 81 never use alcoholic stimu-

It's Name In the Year 1864 Was the
"Towne Of Mannados."
While many persons are aware OF the
fact that New York has not always
been so called, having for time at
lenst been known as New Amsterdam,
probably not one In 10000 Is aware OF
the fact that In early days 1t possessed
still another and now forgotten name
the Towne OF Mannados. That this
was the case, however Is shown be-
yond the shadow of doubt by map
which hangs In the armory Of the Old
Guard of the city of New York among
Its collection OF early Americana, the
authenticity of which Is certified to by
the manuscript department of the Brit
ish museum. in whose possession Is the
original from which the copy In the

As n quaint representation of early
geographical ideas Of what Is now
Greater New York the map In question
Is interesting. II Is one of the very
few on which the name Of Towne of
Mannados is given priority over that

The Aurora BoreaIis.

The aurora borealis, or northern
dawn, is an electrical phenomenon
which in high northern attitudes, espe-
cially in winter, illuminates the skies
with streamers of light. AS the streams
of light have tremendous motion,
they are called in many places the
merry dances" They assume many
shapes and a variety of coors, from a
pale red or yellow to deep red or
blood color, and in the northern lati-
tudes they serve TO illuminate the earth
and cheer the gloom of the long winter
nights. The connection of the aurora
displays with the disturbance of the
magnetic needle is now regarded as an
ascertained fact.
