Origin Of Thanksgiving.

origin OF thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving day has long been
called the first really American holi-
day, as President Lincoln established
it as a national festival in 1864, and
since that time it has been legal
one. But the day of Thanksgiving
goes back to the Englishman, William
Bradford, who led the Pilgrims to this
new land. Back of him we find that
Moses really instituted the first
Thanksgiving day by issuing this
splendid proclamation: after thou
hast gathered in thy corn and thy
wine, thou halt rejoice in thy feast,
thou and thy son and thy daughter
and the Levite and the stranger and
the fatherless and the widow that are
within thy gate"
Bradford, in 1888, called on the
IS surviving passengers Of the May
flower to hold feast of gladness and
thankfulness. He also followed the
Moses" proclamation to the letter,
for he asked ninety and one strangers,
among them the good Indian "Massa-
soft" and others belonging to his ia
nous tribe So our hospitality, for
which as nation we have always
been known, was established by good
old, William Bradford. History also
tells us that he was a good pro-
WIDER That first Thanksgiving day
feast consisted of wild turkey, which
comes down into history as the piece
de resistance" of our Thanksgiving
meal. Then there was fish and succo
fash. The book tells us, too, that the
Indians brought in nine deer as their
| contribution to the white mans feast
The origin of our thankful day is
strictly Biblical, as Bradford, the
leader of those seeking after religious
liberty and truth, was simply follow
ing in the footsteps of Moses, who
was leader and law-giver to a people
in strange land.
Six years after Lincoln issued his
Thanksgiving day edict nine southern
states adopted the holiday. In 1877 :
general Thanksgiving day was pro
claimed in Scotland, which comes il
the middle of November. When ou
housewives are dressing turkeys THU
year they may think of Alice Brad
ford, with the three or four young
women she had to assist in helping
her prepare those first Thanksgiving
day birds, and how glad she mus
have been when her blanketed and be
feathered guests departed the ret
men were great trial to our fore
mothers.

After this loving cup is passed and
all join hands standing up saying
with bowed heads:
God bless you and God bless me.
God bless us every one.
A simple repast is served, with no
servants in evidence, as this is time
when the children are dressed up in
Pilgrim garb and serve the feast.
First, all standing round the candle

BLESSED will it be for us, blessed

Nay, from generation to generation
will the blessing descend Generations

to this day of small things, and say.
Here was our beginning as people.
| These were our fathers. Through
their trials we inherit our blessings
Their faith is our faith; their hope

Seems to me this is splendid way
of impressing historical facts upon
the minds of our young people, and ii
does us older ones heap of good to
turn our minds and hearts backward

Will Payne stood waiting at the cor
ner, as the girls came pouring out OF
the factory. He was watching for Kit
ty Owen, with whom he was accus'
toned to walk home to the little house
where she lived with her brother.
Will was sober looking fellow,
much too serious minded, Kitty
thought, for his own good. Kitty was
willful, as pretty and sweet as girl
could be, but Will thought her some
times too light and frivolous for ev'
eryday life. 1t was plainly to be seen,
by the light that danced in his eyes
as Kitty came up, that, whatever her
faults might be, he adored her.
1--WE got that job in the city, If 1
want it," he said as they walked on
together.
Are you going to take it,"
do you think had better, Kitty?'
he asked anxiously.
Kitty shrugged her plump should
ers. I'D do anything to get away
from this dull, old place, myself" she
answered. Just think what fun you'd
have in a big city where there was
something besides button factory
Il don't go for the fun," said Will
seriously. IT'S very important mat
ter. If l succeed we can get married
sooner than if l stayed here"
But you wouldn't be seeing me ev
cry day, and what's the use Of getting
married anyway" queried Kitty.
Will seemed suddenly to remember
something. kitty" he said, II saw
you this noon with Taylor, and saw
him holding your hand as if he never

A Thanksgiving Day Party.

A yearly custom observed in the
evening of each Thanksgiving day is
so interesting I want to tell the de-
'partment readers about it. There are
about six families with their connec-
lions, all relatives either distant or
close, who meet at the old-fashioned
home of one they call great aunt"
On those occasions all the old-fashion-
ed heirlooms are brought forth, the
fireplace is festooned with dried ap-
pies and scarlet peppers. Apples,
nuts, cider and popcorn are served in
formally, and the first ceremony is
counting up the ''mercies" of the year.
Every one has a part in t44is, and
there is no light save from the logs
in the fireplace and few candles in
brass sticks, some with the tall glass

WINTER TREATMENT OF EWES
Flock Master Will Not Neglect to Fur
nish Them Material Needed In
Cold Weather.

1t is we'll to study the task that de-
wolves on domestic animals at diff
ferent times the better to understand
the treatment they must have. The
eve, for instance. must perform a
double task during the winter months.
In addition to supplying the needs of
her own body, she must grow a coat
of wool and she must develop lamb
most generally two. To do that she
must have feed that has strength in
it, and that has the elements required
in the work to be performed. For
that purpose nicely cured blade fod'
der is good, properly cured clover hay
is better, and unthreshed pea hay is
possibly best; though sheep will not
eat the coarse stems of pea hay. They
