Thanksgiving day at last arrived with
three happy children, who were up bright
and early. They went to the cupboard
and took out two large mince pies, a tur-
key and many other nice things which
would make nice dinner for someone,
They were so busy at work that they did
not notice that their father and mother
were watching them with pleased faces.
After the basket was ready they turned
TO get their wraps, when they beheld their
father and mother who were watching
them. They told them at once that they
had no objections and for them to pro-
coed. When they were ready they told
them that they were going to take Il to
Mrs. Black, their washer woman. who
lived al ound the corner. Mrs Black was
so glad to get the dinner and thanked

bered. them
They went home and ate a hearty

We arrived in Washington on the 1915

and is supposed to be one OF the most
beautiful depots in the country.
We stepped into a taxicab and rode a
long way through the parks, boulevards
and wide, clean streets.
At last we came to the Hotel Gordon,
where we were going 90 stop for five
days II is two blocks from the White
House and right next door to Admiral
Dewey's.
The next day we went to the White
House and were Introduced by Senator
Brown to President Taft. After he had
shaken hands with a great many people
a guide took us through the house.
There is a blue room, a green room,
two dining rooms and dance hall, all
of which are on the first floor. Then the
guide took us down to the basement We
saw pictures of all the presidents and
their wives and we saw many flowers
and plants.
The next day we went to see the capt.
tol. We saw the senator's and repre-
sentatives in session. We took the I'M

cided to see Lincoln park, for had heard

pleasant summer day.
on entering the park, noticed that the
vegation provided shade and was sur
prised at such cool air. Many beautiful
flowers bordered the paths and as the
animals we're long way off, thought it
would be a tiresome walk. Our thought
was contradicted for beautiful statues of
authors, poets. statesmen and, soldiers
were found at intervals along the path
and tennis court dotted the green and
the twing OF the racket was often heard.
The animals kept us busy for a while.
watching the wild cat walk untiringly
about his cage and the lion looked so
much like a pussy that you could scarcely
refrain from petting him. AS we walked
along looking here ana there at different
animals we saw a large tree without
bark and the limbs cut short. That tree

When we tired looking at the animals
we ate our lunch and started for the

The first Thanksgiving was In Decem-
Der, 1921. The pilgrims had come to Amer.
lea in 1890 and had had hard times up
until the spring OF 1921. They did not
forget who helped them through their
hard times and they decided TO have q
day for Thanksgiving.
They had planted twenty acres OF
grain and six acres OF vegetables, The
day before Thanksgiving the pilgrims
sent out men for game and they returned
loaded with turkeys. Thanksgiving morn
Ing at gray dawn q salute was fired from
the fort. At 7:9O the people went to
church and stayed until noon. Then they
had their dinner. Just as they were sit
ting down to eat an Indian gave a yell,
They all looked up and beheld Massasoll
and ninety Indians coming with five deer
so they extended the feast from one day
to three days.
After eating the Indians taught the pill
grims how to play games. Also the Pill
grims taught the Indians games.
In the fifteenth century some English
men were travelling along the coast Of
Newfoundland, and a preacher was 90
happy that they had made a safe voyage
that they had what he called a day OF
Thanksgiving. II was given over tC
prayer part OF the day and eating the
other part.

The Pilgrims did not have a happy
country because the king made them
worship God the same way he did. This
they refused to do. so they met in cell
lar. cave or attic to plan At last they
made up their minds to leave their
country.
Z So they packed all their things in a
bundle and went down to the seashore.
There was a ship which was to take
them 20 a queer country named Holland.
Holland is the land Of wind mills. They
have to build great high walls named
bikes to keep the water from flowing
over their land. These bikes are so
thick that houses can be built upon
them
They stayed there quite a while. but
after a while they began to talk Dutch
This the Pilgrims did not like So they
made up their minds to come to Amer
lea, the land which Columbus discovered.
So thev went down to the sea again to
come TO America The Mayflower was
the boat which was to take them. So
they sailed for four months until they
reached America. Then they saw land
and a little more. And then they saw
the Plymouth rock and then landed in
what is now the state of Massachusetts.
Then they put up log cabins and then
a few more of them. And then their
church. And then they prayed to Cod
in their own way,
Omaha daily bee., 1911-12-03

and started out for America. But they
got a leak in one OF the ships and they
all got on the Mayflower.
When they reached America they found
cold winter In America. That winter
a good many Pilgrims died. In the spring
they planted corn over the graves OF the
Pilgrims so that Indians would not know
that so many Pilgrims had died. That
year they did not have good crops
But the next year they had good crops.
They had a plentiful harvest and food for
long time. Some times they had only
six grains Of corn for a meal They
had n meeting and then had feast. They
had Massasoit and ninety other Indians
at the feast. That was the first Thanks

The Return of the Turkey.

In poor farm house a farmer, his
wife and daughter lived. They we're
planning their Thanksgiving. 1t would
not be very happy Thanksgiving, they
thought, but still there was one conso-
lation, they would have a turkey.
This turkey the farmer had found
nearly year ago when they were richer
The turkey was the pet of the house,
hold The farmer had found It in the
forest. IL was hurt by a hunters gun
But now 1t was too bad It had to 20.
The household had seen better days
than they had now. A half year before
when the son, Jonathan was kidnapped
the money was all spent to find him,
but no trace Of him could they find
Now they were talking about Thanks
giving. II was very lonely without him
1t was the evening before Thanksgiv-
ing. The daughter. Elena Arlington
came in looking very troubled. Mrs.
Arlington asked her what was the mat
ter. The girl said that their turkey had
disappeared. She did not know how II
had disappeared
Next morning. about o'clock, when
1t was time for the turkey to be made,
ragged, dirty boy came to the door and
asked IL they had missed a turkey. They
recognized the turkey by It's color, and
when its name was called It seemed to
know IL. The farmer and his wife
thought they recognized the lads voice
They asked him what his name was
He told them that he was forbidden to
tell. but that they called him Johnny al
the place where many Italians kept him.
He told them that he had been kidnapped
and he had lived far away from where
he was now and they were very rich
He implored them not TO tell anyone what
he had told them. The Arrlngtons asked
him to stay TO dinner.
When the lad had washed himself and
came to dinner. what did they see but
their own son, Jonathan. There was re-
joicing and they thanked God for their
blessings. They thought this was the
best Thanksgiving they had ever had.

1t was the day before THANKSGIVING
ana all the inhabitants OF the farmyard
were very excited. especially Mr.. and
Mrs. Turkey, who had received an In
vitation 70 be present at a dinner the fol-
lowing day. They made many excuses 70
the cook, but the cook said that the din
ner would not be complete without their
presence.
Mr. and Mrs. Turkey talked seriously
over how they could get out Of coming.
Finally noting their displeasure the cook
made this strange proposition that only
the Turkey who ate the most before the
dinner would be required to be present.
When the next day, Thanksgiving came
she discovered that both Mr.. and Mrs.
Turkey had tasted since the invitation.
She exclaimed, very provoked. that only
one OF the turkeys would take up too
little room At the table and therefore
both OF them must como with her.

T'wenty-eighth Avenue, Omaha
The little mother works quite hard
To keep her family neat;
To wash their clothes and iron themt
To get them things 10 eat.
Nice table manners must be taught,
The d ishes washed and dried,
And every day she wraps them up
To take their carriage ride.
Each night she tucks them up In bed
And sings q lullaby;
And all day long she cares for them,
And soothes them II they cry.
She does not try 10 shirk her care;
She never runs away;
She does not think her work Is hard,
Because, you see It's play.
