the following years frequent days OF
thanksgiving were appointed in the
New England colonies. sometimes twice
In one year and for special reasons--a
victory over the Indians. the arrival
OF ship with colonists or provisions,
or some other happy event. Later the
day came TO be set apart in the
autumn or the early winter to give
thanks for the abundant harvests and
general prosperous condition OF the
colony.
Thanksgiving day was a national in
stitution during the Revolutionary
war. and was annually recommended
by Congress: but after general
thanksgiving FOR peace in 1884. there
was no national appointment till 1888,
when President Washington. by re-
quest OF Congress, recommended n
Thanksgiving for the adoption OF the
Constitution. In 1915 a day OF thanks
giving for the restoration OF peace
was recommended by President Madi-
son.
During the early part of the CEN
tury Thanksgiving remained an in
stitution peculiar 10 New England
but was not always held either on the
same day or i'm the same month, each
state appointing its own day. Pro-
carnations recommending special days
OF thanksgiving for victories in the
Civil War were issued by President
Lincoln i'm 1852 and 1868. and in 1864
he appointed the national proclama-
ton. Since that time it has been GUS

Thanksgiving IS NOT as It was in
the days OF Miles Standish and the
Puritan fathers. No longer does the
festive red man, with his penchant for
! lifting scalps. shooting prisoners full
OF blazing arrows, burning the white
mans dwellings and making himself
generally disliked, play any part in the
days proceedings. The pursuit of the
red man. which furnished such fire.
uuent diversion for our forefathers,
and caused each OF them who found
his forelock in it's natural place when
another year had rolled around, in
stead OF ornamenting the belt of
some crafty Indian. to offer up a
prayer of thanksgiving on the day set
aside for that purpose, has given away
TO the chase after the almighty dollar,
often no less elusive than the copper
colored. feather bedecked warrior who
would seemingly rise out OF the ground
and disappear from view in the twink
ling OF an eye Now he who gathers
with his fellow-men to offer up
thanksgiving is prone to attune his
lay TO the degree OF prosperity he has
enjoyed during the year rather than
that he has been spared from the
tomahawk of maurauding Indians.
Ask him TO tramp long miles
through the snow TO church. as was
the custom of his forefathers, and
he would plead another engagement. |
1t is sufficient that he boards a
street car. walking a block or so at
each end OF the line, If needs be. In
the average mind the occasion is as
ISOLATED chiefly with the close OF the !
football season and the assurance that |
a bountlful repast will be served some |
time during the twenty-four hours
without any undue exertion on his
part.
There's reason for this, too.
In the good old days, Of which we
hear so much, IT was customary upon
head OF the household to fill powder
flask and bullet horn, shoulder the
blunderbuss and sally forth
into the forest in quest of game for
the Thanksgiving dinner. Now the
housewife steps to the telephone, calls
up the market and in due season the
butchers boy hands her the choicest
" fowls all ready for the oven. Ac-
IL are all the little deli
,acies that count for so much in a
-epast OF this kind, ready to be serv-
I'd without fuss or furry on the part
II the housewife
Possibly romance has been elimln-
,ted from Thanksgiving. Certainly
he observance OF the day is vastly
different and far less thrilling than in
he times when every man and boy
,arried his trusty gun to church, and
while he returned thanks for past
blessings kept a sharp lookout for In
llans. But even advocates OF the
trenuous life and those whose delight
$ in the chase will admit that the
present system has advantages over !
he old way

Missing Arizonan
 Was "Shanghaid'

The unrsveling of the story of the mysterious disappearance of T. A. Cox of Pats sOuia in San Francisco on December 20 began today with the re. ceipt by Mrs. Cox Of message from him in Tacoma. Wash. The message announced that he had been "shaDg- haied" in San Francisco, taken or board A whaling vessel bound for Alaskan waters, had made his escape somewhere in the Puget Sound coun- try, and had managed to work his way to Tacoma, where he arrived badly in- iured, but still able to travel.
 Cox was superintendent Of the Pitts burg & Arizona Development com pany, which owns valusble mining property near Patagonia, and left for San Francisco on mining business, ex Lecting to go from there to the East to confer with the company officials. He was a man of good habits, we'll liked by all and had at one time been the county surveyor of Pima county His disappearance caused great sen- sa,icn in southern Arizona, as there was 10 apparent reason why he should run away of his owa accord. The police and detective agencies of the country generally have sought dili. gently for him for several weeks past, but to DO purpose.
