mo the grand old pilgrim father
William Bradford. governor of

the first to proclaim in America a gen.
eral thanksgiving day which should be
q festival as well as a day Of thanks
giving. The month Of November, 1923,
had been u weary one to the bitterly
tried pilgrims. Their months Of toll
and patient waiting for the ingathering
Of the harvest seemed about to end in
the deepest disappointment. The earth
was parched. the whole land cried out
for rain, and the crops were being
ruined for lack of moisture. It was
under these depressing conditions that
Pilgrim Father Bradford called together

THE INDIANS CELEBRATION
OF THANKSGIVING DAY.

NHE interest in Thanksgiving day
and It's observance IL just as In
tense these days among the reser.
walton Indians as In college towns
where great football games are sched-
uled to occur. Especially II this true
In the southwest, where the Indians
have had an opportunity to become
thoroughly civilized Of late years. The
white people fnd no more enjoyment
In this day Of universal cheer than do
these same dusky redskins.
1t is a day Of feasting. playing and
gaming. with a big dance at night
Such snort ONES only once a year to
them nowadays. when they have had
to forsake the scalping knife for the
plow. Their wild nature revolted at
the idea Of work. and 1t has been with
much di6iculty that the government
agents have made farmers out Of the
young braves A day Of rest and
amusement is considered good for their
better nature. and the government au
thorites are willing that Thanksgiving
day shall become a festal time for the
reservation wards Of the nation.
The Kiowas and Comanches, who not
long ago were placed on allotments,
will have forsaken many Of their wild
plans Of amusement this Thanksgiving,
owing to the fact that they have been
cut of the free list Of beef issues
They have arranged to draw grass
money on Thanksgiving, and a goodly
portion Of this will be spent in pur.
chasing food for a grand feast. At
night they will take part In a green
corn dance, at which thanks will be of.
fered to the Great Spirit for the good
crops which tley have had the last sea
son. The spirit Of thankfulness per
vades the Indian celebrations.
The Osages hold big feast at Paw
huska. their capital city. All mem
bers of the tribe are invited to take
part in the festivities. At the begin
ming and end of each month-and there
are many-the aged missionary who
lives among them Is invited to deliv.
er short prayer. thanking the Great
Spirit for the good things which the
agent has sent them. The food is cook.
ed by the squaws. and, while It could
be prepared in a much cleaner and
more tasteful manner, the cooking is
an improvement over that of few
years ago. With this cheer they give
thanks that "by the goodness Of God
they were far from want."-New York
Tribune.
The river press., 1912-11-27

when rain came It came in such
floods and It came so opportunely that
the pilgrim fathers were convinced
that Providence had smiled on the little
band Of forlorn men, women and chill
dren who, driven from their own homes,
had been forced to pitch their tents on
the wild and inhospitable shores Of q
foreign land.
William Bradford in his proclama.
ton had called the day a feast of
thanksgiving. and the best hunters in
the colony had been securing the ad-
jacent woods for wild turkeys and
other game to supply the wants of the
colonists and their guests. The
kitchens of the pilgrims were crude
and rough, but the good danes did
their best. and the result was a repast
satisfying and sumptuous enough for
the most exacting The menu con-
sisted Of roast turkey dressed with
beechnuts, venison pasties such as
the pilgrim mothers knew so we'll how
to make, savory meat stews with
dumplings of barley -four, clam chow
der served In enormous bowls with
sea biscuits floating on the surface,
roasts of all kinds. broiled fish, salads,
cakes and plum porridge. Lastly,
there was a bountiful supply Of
oysters, the contribution of Massasoit
and his ninety warriors to the first
Thanksgiving bill Of fare. The great.
est dinner of the festival was given on
Saturday, the last day Of the celebra-
ton. History chronicles that it was
one Of the loveliest days of the In.
weather that the good pilgrim danes
were able to set their tables in the
open air. and in the primitive forests
In the widest country, in a new and
nnexplored world, was celebrated the
brightest and most joyous Thanksgiv-
