ing that 1t is n pretty good idea for the
land seeker before tying up his hard
earned money In a proposition to in-
spect very thoroughly the piece he con-

digging down several feet with a spade
to ascertain exactly what the subsoil is,
whether soil at all or only gravel and
stone, and whether the water comes
too near TO the surface. This proce-
dure may be deemed "fussy" by some,

The farmers wives I'm a section OF

sumptuous spreads for from fifteen to
twenty thrashing hands and declare
that hereafter thrashing crews that
come to their places will have to bring
along their own mess tent and cook.
It's wonder this strike hasn't come
sooner. as In good conscience the aver
age farmers wife has enough to do In
the lineof routine duties without being

and when Hamilton arrived Washington ques-
toned him about it. The Father of His Coun-
try was vexed and angered and INDUCED in
some pointed remarks to the secretary. The
president was incensed that a young soldier
should have gotten his nose broken in a tav-
ern brawl while protesting to be giving thanks
for heavens blessings.
Our first president went so far as to say that
it was disgraceful, "by-,s ir!" and the secre-
tary of the treasury discreetly withdrew.
History is silent on the subject of the after
career of the lieutenants broken nose, but
Thanksgiving day has come down to us intact.
Washington, however, apparently got enough
on the first day to last him for five years, for
his next Thanksgiving proclamation was not
issued until January /, 1875.

A THANKSGIVING DINNER
IN THE PHILIPPINES

1t was eaten in an old stone hacienda, over
whose walls the red, white and yellow roses
flung their rich embroidery, and from whose
decrepit balconies fragrant starry jasmine
waved side by side with the family wash. How
much of the excellence of the meal was due to
the culinary skill of Jim, the c~olonel's muchu-
cho, who went into the kitchen to help the
Chinese cook, and how much to that almond
eyed juggler with pots and pans, could not be
determined by the guests, but both claimed the
honor.
The table was set out Of doors under the
shade of an immense arbor del fuego, or fire
tree, which a few months hence would be a
blaze of flaming blossoms. The chickens
roamed about freely among the guests, and oc-
casionally one holder than the rest would fly
up among the dishes. 1t was etiquette for the
nearest guest to shoe it down, otherwise such
little incidents passed without notice. The
first dish served was the strictly American one
Of ham and eggs, but as ham is SO cents q

Gift Pies for Thanksgiving

Toy makers are planning a host of de.
lightful surprises for Thursdays celebra-

books to learn the traditions and amuse-
ments. OF the originators of this feast day.
Plenty Of entertainment is provided by
these favor designers, whose work it is
to know o to utilize Thanksgiving ira
ditions in modern surroundings. Pies
are always a successful piece de resist
ance for the dinner or party. Old as well
as young find entertainment in hunting
for the prizes concealed between ample
crusts OF crepe paper, and it's appearance
is a never ending source of joy to the
guests. The favorite pie this yea is In

cia changed her seat to one at the
~coIonel's side and carefully selecting the
choicest morsels and freeing them from
bones and skin popped them into the
colonel's mouth. To have demurred would
have been a deadly insult to the host, so
the colonel was obliged to submit with the
best grace he could muster, though the
spectacle of a husky American soldier be-
ing fed like a baby was almost too much
for the ~self-control of his compatriots.
especially when somebody said very soft
ly and distinctly: "Lovey, dovey."
The gallant colonel's ordeal came to an
end after a time, but it left him very red
and uncomfortable and nursing a firm re-
solve to accept no more invitations to dine
out in the Philippines. 1t is only fair to
senorita to explain that before she
took her place at the %colonel's side a
k%nifeboy appeared bearing a bow of per-
fumed water and a clean towel, and that
she carefully washed and dried her hands.
The Tupelo journal., 1909-11-19

doled out in small portions to each guest, for
a Filipino will give you almost anything he
owns for a can of beef. and so highly does he
esteem it that he even saves the empty cans,
perhaps to cheat himself or his friends into be-
lieving he has a supply on hand, and therefore
is a man worth cultiyating. A Spanish stew
was on the menu after the fsh-a genuine ola
podrida which, no doubt, was being cooked for
supper in Spain when Columbus was sailing
westward on his voyage OF discovery. Rice,
potatoes, minced caribou steak, onions, dried
fish-everything in the larder goes into the
ola podrida, which is very literally seasoned
with red pepper. so literally that all the
guests fell to weeping over the first mouthful.
and the appearance of a pot of jam was hailed
with delight. The jam was passed around by
a half-naked knifeboy, and everybody took a
spoonful, returning the spoon to the jam to be
used by the next person. 1t would be regarded
as a grave breach of manners to take a clean
spoon.
Then the American guests saw literally the
locusts and wild honey of John the Baptist.
With the excellent coffee small pieces of honey
in the comb were placed at each plate, and a
beaping basket of crisp. brown cakes, some
thing like the old-fashioned cookies of New
England. was carried around the table by the
kHife-boy.

who has ever had the curiosity-and temerity
Ito taste a particularly brown, hard puppy
cake will have a good idea of the flavor of the
Filipino locust cake, except, Of course, it is
sweetened. Only one American had courage
enough to nibble one. but all the native guests
ate two or three. The omnipresent cigarette
or cigar arrived with the coffee, and soon the
remains of the feast were enveloped in a pale
blue haze.
Senorita Paciencia, the daughter OF the
house, smoked, lolling back carelessly In her
gown of rich black silk with q big cigar be-
tween her rosy lips. This same Senorita Pa

The fruit pies are quite novel. In the CEN
ter OF the treasure pie rests a watermelon OF
goodly proportions and most natural coloring,
and on the top of the striped green and white
fruit stands an %exultant turkey, with real feath-
er covered body and a wide spread tail. Sur
rounding this feathered monarch, who is
perched on the melon throne, are smaller
fruits of every description, all cleverly fash
Toned Of papier mache and tinted in natures
colors. There are luscious bananas, ripe, rosy
checked apples, golden oranges, deep red to-
matoes, lemons, plums, pears; in fact, practic-
ally every variety of fruit. Inside each is a
small box, whose center conceals a gift. The
guests take turns at choosing the fruit they
like best, and with the fruit goes the hidden
gift and souvenir of the day. 1t may be that
the gift is only a clever joke wrapped neatly
in cotton wool or tissue paper and lying hid
den inside the bit of fruit, or it may be a gift
of real consequence and intrinsic value. This
depends on the circumstances and ideas of the
hostess, who may want her party to be mere
ly a merrymaking time or one that will be re-
membered for other things. The outside of the
basket is trimmed with a row of crackers,
which never fail to add to the gayety of the oc-
cdSIoH, especially IL IL De composed OF young
folk. Then above the stockade of fancy paper
crackers is a border of chrysanthemums, and

NOSE, And AN

THANKSGIVING is an institution
of heavy antiquity, but as a Pc
culiarly American national fes-
tival 1t dates only from Thurs
day, November 26, 1889. The
first national Thanksgiving day
was perhaps the most exciting
ever celebrated on this contin-
ent and owes its historic inter-
est to a bottle, a bird, a broken
nose and an angry president
who rounded out the expression

that we came near losing Thanksgiving after
all. and that all the famous men of the day got
into a very bitter quarrel over it and ate a
turkey dinner at daggers drawn, so to speak.
The idea of Thanksgiving day originated
with Alexander Hamilton, Washington's secre-
tary Of the treasury, who, in August, 1889,
preached the subject at a cabinet meeting. In
September, 1889, Elias Boudinot, a New Eng
land member of the house of representatives,
introduced a resolution requesting the presi-
dent to set aside a day of Thanksgiving and
moved its adoption. The motion was seconded
by Roger Sherman of Connecticut. The reso-
luton at once met with opposition. Many
members of congress denounced the custom of
such observances as effete and monarchical
and some members became SO personal in
their discussions that blows were struck over
the matter in the streets of New York. which
then was the national capital, the sessions of
congress being held in Federal hall.
Jefferson opposed the passage of the resolu-
ton as an encroachment upon the boundary
line which had been fixed between religion
and state, but the resolution passed both
houses OF congress, and ON October 3. 1889.
Washington issued the first Thanksgiving proc-
lamation. 1t that Thursday the
