THE INDIANS CELEBRATION
OF THANKSGIVING DAY.

THE interest In Thanksgiving day
and its observance is just as in
tense these days among the reser-
vation Indians as In college towns
where great football games are sched-
uled to occur. Especially is this true
in the southwest where the Indians
have had an opportunity to become
thoroughly civilized of late years. The
white people find 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 sport comes only once 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 It has been with
much difficulty 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-
thorities 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 off 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 green
corn dance, at which thanks will be Of
fered to the Great Spirit for the good
crops which they 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 a few
years ago. With this cheer they give
thanks that "by the goodness Of God
they were far from want"-New York
Tribune.

Reflections of a Thankful Pessinist.

Did you ever think, when it's rain
ing and showing at the same time and
the streets form dainty swamp of
slCsh and the chills are running up
and down and back, how very much
you have to be thankful for? On such
occasions look in your empty coal bin
and fold your arms in content
True. the coal bin is dark and dank
But think how much blacker 1t would
he if the coal were there!
It's the little things that make or mar
ones happiness; therefore the less coal
one has the happier he should be.
For such is logic.
A noted philosopher has said, 'The
coal bin is a has-been."
Shivers are the very soul of comfort

"O the grand old pilgrim father
William Bradford, governor of
IL the original New England colo
MES, belongs the honor of being
the first to proclaim in America n gen
eral thanksgiving day which should be
a festival as well as day of thanks
giving. The month of November. 1923,
had been a weary one to the bitterly
tried pilgrims. Their months of toll
and patient waiting for the ingatherlng
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. 1t was
under these depressing conditions that
Pilgrim Father Bradford called toge her
the little band of settlers and set apart
day to be devoted to fasting and
prayer that the CLASSY skies might be-
come cloud covered and the windows
of heaven be opened to give life to the
thirst dying fields.
1t did not look promising for a day
of thanksgiving, and yet circumstances
changed the day appointed for fasting
and prayer to one of rejoicing, feasting
and thankfulness. The pilgrims were
in the very act of praying for rain
