He Was a Boston Boy.

Your little boy must be very in
telligent," said visitor to a Boston
school teacher whose f1ve-year-old son
was forming Greek words with build
ing blocks.
Intelligent" exclaimed the proud
parent. He is phenomenally gifted.
As an example OF his early erudition,
what do you suppose were the first
words he ever spoke?"
Papa and mammal"
Stuff and nonsense" calculated the
father. in a tone OF disgust. why, the
day ne was 70 months old he suddenly
laid down his algebra and said to me:
Father, the longer I live the more in
dubitable proofs I perceive that there
is in Boston as much culture to the
square inch as there ever was in the
ambient area OF ancient Athens!'"

Netherlands also appointed different
dates for public thanksgiving, from
time to time, and in some historical
works there is record of a dispute as
to which of these colonies deserved
the credit for having first inaugurated
the day. Most of the best founded
historians, however, give the credit to
the New England states.
The Dutch governors of New Meth
erlands appointed occasional days of
thanksgiving in 1914. 1915, 1866 and
1864, and the English governors fol
lowed their example in 1855 and 1860,
and the Protestant Episcopal church
in the United States in It's prayer
book ratified in 1889, recommends for
Thanksgiving day the first Thursday
in November, unless some other day
be appointed by the civil authorities.
There were also occasional recommen-
dations by other religious bodies, but
no regular annual recommendation by
the governor of New York before 1917.

dependence marks the beginning Of

general observances OF days of thanks
giving in this country. The congress
of 1777, the one which prepared the
articles of confederation for adoption
by the colonies, adopted a resolution
setting apart the eighteenth day of
December, 1877, to be observed as
day Of solemn thanksgiving and
praise throughout the United States.
Washington, during his administra-
ton, issued two thanksgiving procla-
nations, one in 1889 and the other In
1895, just after the suppression Of
the Whisky rebellion" which had
threatened the peace of the country,
and President Madison issued one
upon the declaration of peace in
1915. However, in the early years
of the nation the rule was for the CO
lonial custom to be followed and the
proclamation made emanated from
the governors. The western states,
largely people from New England or
New York, early followed the lead of
these portions of the country. AS we
have seen, the annual recommends

years, however has witnessed a revolution.
Now almost all cranberries are picked by the
aid Of machines, and because it is tiresome
work manipulating these machines 1t has come
about that most of the women and children
have been forced out of the industry and the
task is largely in the hands of men, the more
skillful of whom receive from SO to IS per day
The picking machine most extensively used
has the appearance of a huge wooden scoop,
the bottom of which is made up Of row Of
metal bars, tipped with sharp prongs and set
close together. In operation this SCOOP is
showed with some considerable force into the
tangle OF cranberry vines and then is drawn up
ward and backward with the result that the
vines which have been caught slip between the
metal bars but leave the berries which are too
large to pass through the openings, as do the
vines, and in consequence are stripped from

The mistake IS frequently made OF

located adjacent to rivers or lakes or ponds
so that they can be flooded in the late au-

berries grow a vine which nestles close
to the ground in a perfect tangle, and save for
keeping out the weeds and battling with the
insect pests which are numerous, the cranber
ries do not require very much cultivation
attention until harvest time approaches in the
autumn. Then the cranberry grower must look
forward to a period of anxiety, a careful, ser
ous scrutiny of the weather. He must
keep close watch on the weather for if a frost
comes ere the crop is harvested 1t will work
sad havoc unless the grower has been fore
warned and flooded his bog or built great bon
fires to keep up the temperature.
In years gone by the harvesting of cranber
ries was done solely by the hand picking meth

The pious. hard-driven, WORKOUT, but
thankful Puritans who sat down at
their tables one November, a few cen
turtles ago, and made the first Thanks
giving Day, never knew to what
lengths they were to drive the in
genuity of their poor descendants.
But it wasn't their fault after all, that
the preparer of the Thanksgiving feast
today has to attend just as much to
the turkeys surroundings as to the
turkey itself. 1t was good enough for
them to have a well-stocked larder
from which could come the turkey, the
celery, the pumpkin pie, the cranber-
ries and all the other goodies which
history puts down to their credit
Even the comparatively recent New
Englanders were content with all
these as long as they looked tempting
and tasted good. But today, even the
important fowl itself is hardly more
important than the ribbons, the can
dies, the favors, the adOrnments of
all kinds, which must appear on the
Thanksgiving table.
Don't bother about having too
much to eat" an up-to-date daughter
was heard to say to her New England
mother the other day. 81 want plenty
of room for the ribbons and the candy
boxes"
It's the same way with other daugh-
tiers of an esthetic turn of mind, rath-
er than practical one. and it looks
as if their ambitions to make things
look pretty" may be realized this year,
for there is a goodly array of Thanks
giving favors and table decorations of
all kinds.
OF course the turkey reigns SUI
preme, even If it is in paper, and is
seen in all sizes, all kinds, roasted to
a beautiful dark brown as the cook
book says, or standing important and
majestic with its big fan-shaped feath-

but certain new china turkeys are

they are transferred to the tray which each pick

The cranberres as picked on the Dogs are

observance gradually crept southwark

Johnson of Virginia adopted it, and
though in 1857 Governor Wise Of Vir-

proclaimed in eight Of the southern
states.

crops, as whole, had been good, the
peas alone failing. All the houses in
the settlement had been put into con-
dition and a goodly stock of furs and
prepared lumber had been made ready
for export to England by the next
ship. The waters swarmed with fish
and sea fowl were abundant The call
of the wild turkey was heard in the
woods and the patter of the f1eeting
deer was nothing strange
The summer was past; the harvest
ended. The pilgrims decided upon a
period of recreation. The governor

day secured game to last the colony
