I live in Des Moines and my grand
ma lives in Ottumwa. so we had to
start the day before Thanks giving. We
left Des Moines at 12:45 D. m. and ar
rived in Ottumwa at $3.50 p. m. The
cars were very much crowded, as 1t
seemed everybody was anxious to get
home to their grandma's for Thanks
giving, too We went to my uncle's to
stay over night, as we were all going
out to grandma's together the next
day. During the night it showed and
blew and drifted the snow in heaps.
But we were up bright and early and
ready for long day of fun. We
couldn't get there by the street cars
and we had mo Old John" to take us
in our sleigh, so we put on our rub
bers and .leggins, wrapped our ears up
good and warm and away we ran. And
oh, such fun, such racing, to see which
would get there first.
Grandma and grandpa met us at the
door, Oh, how glad we were to see
their dear old faces again. We children
could hardly wait until dinner was
ready. Our race made us hungry as
bears.
At last dinner was ready. but can't
begin to tell you all we had for din

we had to quit eating and we took a

THANKSGIVING At GRANDMA,s.

James had been skating all morning.
It was the day before Thanksgiving.
When he came into the house mis-
mother said: James, can you guess
where we are going tomorrow"
James guessed many different pla IS
but he did not guess the right one. At
last his mother told him that they
were going to their grandna's s. James
danced for joy. He had not been to his
grandma's for a long time.
James could hardly go to sleep that
night thinking about going to his
grandma's. When morning came and
breakfast was over James mother and
father got ready to so. When they
reached their grandma's it was almost
dinner time. They sat down to dinner
and James thought her had never
seen such lovely things to eat When
dinner was over James had popcorn
and candy. He stayed week with his
grandma, but he then had to go home
saying he would come back Christmas.

STORIES AND LETTERS.
THE PILGRIMS THANKSGIVING

1880 ship called the Mayhower
landed on the shores of Plymouth
Bay, Mass. There were 102 Pilgrims
on this ship. They had left their
homes in England and came here that
they might worship God as they
pleased The men went into the
woods and got some logs to build their
houses, and before long they were
ready for their families to live in. The
flrst year they endured many hard
ships, many Of them starving to death
during the winter. But such q harvest
a. they had in the fall Of 1921. The
men stood looking over their large
fields Of yellow grain and thought
they ought to thank God In some way
for being SO good to them. So they
decided to have day OF Thanksgiv-
ing and invite the Indians to eat with
them. Then men went hunting and
killed some wild game for their feast.
while the women baked cakes and
pies and cooked other things which
they had raised during the summer.
when the morning of the feast day
came they were all up early that they
might have long Thanksgiving day.

Mamma was thinking of going and
taking us children with her to spend
Thanksgiving at grandma's.
It is four miles through the woods
to grandma's and over the river.
It was three days till Thanksgiving.
We could hardly wait till the day came
for the horses to be hitched to the car
riage Finally the day came. 1t was
IA rather chilly morning and mamma
got US all ready and put on our
Jackets. We children went out first,
and mother followed and locked the
doors. We went out and got in the
buggy and drove away over the hills
and through valleys and woods. 1t did
not take long to get as far as the
river. We drove across the bridge.
AS we got across we came in sight OF
the little cottage. AS we drew nearer
we saw grandpa out in the barn yard
waiting to take our team and put them
away. Grandma was in the doorway
looking for us. When we came in we
could smell good things cooking on the
stove. Some of our cousins were there
and we played with them till dinner
was ready. We had lots Of good
things for dinner; turkey, cake and
pie and many other things.
When dinner was over we went out
in the yard and played games for
awhile. Then we ran down the hill
to the river bank and played on the
shore till evening. When we came
back to the little cottage mamma was
waiting for us to 60 home. We got
ready to start and bid grandma and
grandpa good.by and then drove away.
On the way home it started to snow
and it showed all night. We did not
get up the next morning till later after
our big day at grandma's.

MILDRED,s THANKSGIVING.

Mildred Black was q poor girl who
lived with her mother near village.
She and her mother lived in the woods.
Mildred's father had gone to sea when
she was only two years old and now
she was ten. This year she wanted
Thanksgiving to come more than ever
before although she knew that they
would not have anything good to eat.
Two days before Thanksgiving she
was eating her dinner and she said:
Mamma, wish we were rich like
other people, don't you?" But her
mother said nothing. That afternoon
Mildred was sitting playing with
little doll which one Of her friends had
given to her as Christmas present
the year before, when she heard some
one knock on the door and she got up
and opened the door and there was one
of her little girl friends whose name
was Minnie Brown. Mildred was very
glad to see her and invited her in.
Pretty soon Minnie said: Il just

A PURITAN THANKSGIVING.

The Puritans landed at Plymouth
in 1920 They had the first Thanks
giving day In America. They invited
the Indians to come to It, The Indians
killed some wild turkeys and deers.
They brought the turkeys and deers
to the Puritans for Thanksgiving.
They did not live like we do now.
They had to go in to the forest to get
their turkeys. The indians stayed
three days with the Puritans. The
Puritan women did not like to cook for
the Indians.
Some of the Indians were very good
to the Puritans. The Indians showed
the Puritans how to plant corn and
pumpkins. They showed them how to
pound corn into meal to make -four.

Mildred was little girl years old.
She lived in the city, but her grand
mother and grandfather lived on big
farm in the country. Mildred loved to
go to the farm. She had been think
ing for weeks ahead what good time
they would have at grandmother's on
Thanksgiving, but as Thanksgiving
drew near and mamma did not say
anything about going to grandmother's
Mildred grew uneasy and finally asked
her mamma If they were not going to
grandmother's. Mamma smiled at
the troubled little face and said, no
dear, we are not going to grand
mothers this year but we will have
o better time than if we had. But
Mildred was very much disappointed

MILDREp's THANKscIv,Nc,.

Mnoreu HOther was very poor. She X
had to work very hard for living.
Her husband had died just year ago.
Mildred was trying to surprise her
mother by saving up some money to
buy Thanksgiving turkey. She took
care of Mrs. Browns baby while she
washed one day and got so cents for
it. There was big fat turkey at Mr..
BENEFITS butcher shop for $1.5O. She
tried hard to think Of a way to get her
dollar but she could not think OF a
way. She said one day, II guess I will
have to give it up, but mother has
been working so hard l would like to
surprise her Thanksgiving" One day
as she was walking down the street
she found paper advertising for
girl to help dress turkeys at the
butcher shop. She took 1t home with
her and got ready and went and ap-
piled for the position. They said they
would be glad to have her come and
for her to be there the next morning
by Z o'clock. She went home acting az
quiet as ever so her mother would not
catch on for she wanted 1t to be
secret. She arose the same time bus
hurried around so she could be there
by the appointed time. On leaving she
told her mother she would be back by

they had all the turkeys dressed. On
leaving they promised to deliver her
turkey by 8 o'clock the next morning.
She returned home and cleaned up tho
house for her mother. BY 8 o'clock the
next morning the turkey was delivered
to Mildreds mother. She could not
imagine what It was until she opened
it and great was her surprise to find It
was large turkey. She showed It to
Mildred and said who has sent Il to
us?' Just then she discovered q note
saying from Mildred to her mother
She thanked her for her thoughtful-
ness and said she was a very sweet
girl for doing 1t. Mildred was very
happy. She took her fifty cents and
bought some cranberries and nice
cake for their dinner. They had
splendid dinner and her mother was
glad to know she had two things to be
thankful for. one that she had such a
good girl and the other that they did
not have to do without a dinner but
had such splendid one.

which they had popped and strung the
evening before and q few pumpkins
were placed throughout the house.
Mildred and Marie played in the
morning and soon 1t was dinner time,
For dinner they had the pies which
Mildred had baked. besides they had
turkey, cake. cranberries and many
other things. In the afternoon they all
laughed and talked and had a very

Mildreds grandparents started home
Mildreds grandmother told Mildred to
bake pie for her to take home with
her as they were going to have bak-
ing contest and the one who baked the
best pie would get $40 as a prize. So
Mildred baked the pie and her grand
mother took it home and it took the
