THE FIRST THANK SEWING

The first fixed and official day of
Thanksgiving was held in the year
1865. In the old public records. of the
court of Connecticut we find the fol-
lowing order which the court issued
on October 10. 1865, appointing "a day
of general thanksgiving.
This court doth appoint solemn
day of Thanksgiving to be kept
throughout this colony on the last
Wednesday of November, to return
praise to God for His great mercy to
us in the continuation of our liberties
and privileges both Civil and Ecclesi-
asticl1, and for our peace and prevent
ing those troubles that we feared by
forriegne enemies and for the bless
ings i'll the fruits of the earth and the
general healthe of the plantations"
1t will be noted that the appointed
day was Wednesday instead of Thurs
day, as we now celebrate. The spell
ing is odd in many cases.

III. Be the master of your own house

V. Never write a line on paper
that you would be ashamed to have
published in a newspaper.
VI. Refrain from practical joking.
Life is too real and too earnest and too
brief to be wasted in so wanton a

envious and disconnected.
VIII. Avoid business relations with
so-called unlucky people, Ill-luclS is

or another name for laziness or in
capacity.
TX. Balance your cash account daily
The careful engineer consults his
gnage constantly.

meeting on Tuesday evening. The let
ter was addressed to the Council and
pertained especially to the matter of
vacating the short part of Wisconsin

1t is my intention to establish on the north
side OF Wauwatosa Avenue model farm, not
for any gain on my part but for the purposes
OF showing young men what can be accom-
pished by s<illfui tining of the soil in a small
way. and though the project is wholly educa-
tional shall plan the farm SO that it winserve
70 beautify that portion CIT the city in which
IL is located.
have in addition plan of establishing an
athletic park on the west side of Wisconsin
Avenue. near HadIey Avenue. the topography
of the land making il q natural amphitheat ter.
The regular baseball ground requires an en-
croachment on Wisconsin Avenue near its
junction with Hadley Avenue. The intention
is to fit this park with retiring rooms for men
and women and with sufficient shelter to
enable them to take refuge in the event of a
storm to put the operation in the hands OF a
board of trustees consisting of citizens of
Wauwatosa who shall have all power to make
regulations for its use
The only stipulation is that it shall be free
and open to all associations of young men or
boys who desire its use for the playing OF
games of baseball. tennis and other outdoor
sports, the Joint use To hinge on the priority of
application,
There is wise and growing disposition on
the part of every wen wisher of the rising gen.
GRAFTON to have them engage in sports. to en-
courage a friendly rivalry between the differ
ent communities and subdivisions OF communi
ties, and it is not in keeping with my ideas of q
city of the size and dignity of Wauwatosa to
have such games played on miscellaneous
g.ounds without shelter accommodations. the
use of which depends upon the Indulgence of
the owners, Hence desire to furnish IA rea.
sonabIy permanent and proper place where
games can be conducted and 1 should feel
proud and hope my fellow citizens of Wauwa.
tosa also feel proud that a place can be avail.

Japan for Peace Court Proposed by
Secretary Knox.

Toxic. Wednesday. Feb 23.-Japan
will not object to the permanent peace
court proposed by Secretary Knox
though the foreign office had kept a
discreet silence on the subject. In
quiry, however developed that while
there are undoubtedly some difficult
ties in the way, these are not insur-
mountable, Japan while giving consent
to the plan, will point out that a com
pulsory court of arbitration must be
most carefully organized In this case,
fifteen countries are involved but only
a few of the powers are to have per-
manent judges of the courts. Some
difficulty is anticipated in securing
harmony among the minor powers in
the matter of their representation.
Again, there is the difficulty of seour-
ing positive pledges that the decisions
of the courts will be accepted by all
the powers concerned. For instance,
it is pointed out that while the United
States might go into the arrangement
in all good faith, nevertheless con-
vention based upon the decision of the
court would have to be submitted to
congress and might be rejected.

RAILROAD ENGINEERS MEET.
President McNabb Says 1851 Miles
Built in U. S. and Canada.

Chicago, March 16.-Further partici-
patton by railroads in the conservation
movement through the ownership and
protection of forests was advocated at
the eleventh annual convention of the
American Railway Engineering and
Maintenance of Way association, which
is in session here.
President William McNab in his an
nal address stated that there was a
question whether during the last year
railroad construction had kept pace
with the industrial advancement of the
continent and he ascribed this condf-
ton to the rapid advancement of agri-
cultural development
According to Mr.. McNab, 4,S61 miles
of railway were constructed and placed
in operation in the United States and
Canada during 1909. OF this total, Cam
ada was credited with LOGS miles of
tracks.

railroads can insure themselves against

TO EMPTY RESERVOIR.
Yonkers VIII Spill 6O.OOO.OOO Gallons
of Water.

Yonkers, N. Y, March 16.-Sixty
million gallons of water the contents
of the big Fort Field reservoir, will be
emptied to ascertain whether a suicide
note found on the banks of the reser-
voir several days ago was a hoax.
AS Yonkers is in the midst of a
typhoid fever epidemic resulting from
an impure water supply, the health
department declares that nothing must
be left undone to determine whether a
human body really lies at the bottom
of the reservoir. Repeated dragging
of the bottom with graphing hooks
has failed to bring up any trace of the
supposed suiride. The use of dyna-
mite was suggested but was discarded
because of the danger to the concrete
bottom and sides of the reservoir
If a hoax the suicide letter will be
a costly one for the draining of the
reservoir will involve an expense of
nearly $4,000.
