In 1923 the second Thanksgiving day
was ordered and observed by the Pill
grim fathers. Early Thanksgivings are
not always celebrated in November
nor upon Thursday, and it is not until
1877 that we find the first printed
Thanksgiving proclamation, now owned
by the Massachusetts Historical So
clety. 1t is interesting to note that
since 1852 the president of the United
States has set the last Thursday in
November to be observed as a day of
thanksgiving. And barking back to
Pilgrim days, what a vast difference:
Compare the harvest then and the har-
vest now. Whether our forefathers
were ever actually reduced to the ira
ditional five grains of corn each. is a
fact not decided by history, but it is
true that they returned thanks for the
most meager fare and endured the
most grinding hardships without a
murmur. Like our forbears we make
OF the day great time for Teasing
and games and not 80 much Of church
going. 1t is day for family reunions
and day of abundant opportunity for
making cause of Thanksgiving in the
"other fellows" heart.

oe tnanKruI. This Is a mighty mean
way to do. It's one way of GROWING
over your unfortunate nesghbor. and IL,
the quintessence of littleness. Anot.,-
er way is to thank God that your neigh
bors are no better off than yourself,
Thy was the case of the old lady when
the frost caught her garden truck.
Still another is to take advantage Of
your neighbor and then return thanks
that you are self-made and successful.
And yet another way is to do your
ne1ghbor ere he does you and then
give thanks, as David Harum would
say. And there are those who profess
thankfulness because matters might
be worse. And that brings up the
query whether matters ever are 80 bad
but that they might not be worse. r
not, then one might find an endless
chain OF thanksgiving If one could,

DAYS OF PAST THANKSGIVING
History Proves that There Always Has
Been a Time Set Apart for
Festivities.

thanksgiving is generally believed
to have commenced with the advent of
the Pilgrim fathers, and therefore a
legacy to us from New England. But
when the true facts in the case come
to light we find that Thanksgiving day
was first celebrated by Popham colon

down in the Thanksgiving service of

is known with what antipathy the
early Puritans regarded any and all of
the holy days Of the English church,
and the celebration of such was stern
~ forbidden in New England.
How many of us know that days for
giving thanks were set apart in Europe
long before the reformation and were

The first Thanksgiving in this coun-
try was not set apart as day of re-
hgious observance, but for recreation.
On December II, 1921, Edward Wins

Our harvest being gotten in. our
governor sent four~men out fowling s.
we might in a special manner rejoic
together after we had gathered tht
fruits of our labors. The four killed
so much fowl that with a little help
served the company about a week.
Among other recreations were exer-

dams came amongst. us and among
them their greatest king Massasoit
with some ninety men, whom we for
three days Toasted and entertained.
They went out and killed five deer,
which they brought in and bestowed
on our governor, upon the captains and
Others"
So we get good idea of the hos
pitality offered in those days. We
learn, too, from Governor Bradford
that wild turkeys were plentiful, so we
feel a reasonable assurance that the
turkey has long and ancient lineage

other bird on our Thanksgiving day

STOKES FAyORS UNION OF
BULL MOOSE AND G. o. P.
Former Governor Endorses
Munsey's Harmony Scheme.

From a Stan Correspondent
TRENTON, N. J., Jan. 11.-Former
Governor z. G. Stokes, who was the
first Republican leader to declare for
Roosevelt in New Jersey and who is
a Roosevelt admirer, when inter-
viewed on the Munsey plan for union
between the Republican and Progress
sive elements said:
Il am very glad that Mr.. Munsey
has called the attention of the country
to the Importance of common action
on the part of the Republicans and
Progressives. and without committing
myself to detail, heartily approve
of his proposition. Ny own attitude
on this question is well known. Be-
fore election I advocated unity of
action on State and national tickets,
with the exception of the Presidential
candidates, and since election I have
urged "get-together movement on
up-to-date progressive lines.
'Mr. Munsey's view, as 1 under
stand 1t, is that the same common
sense should prevail in politics that is
exercised in the 'wisest and most in
telligent realms of business Pro-
gressive policies. if they are good, are
not advocated for the purpose of
sacrifice. Republican policies, if they
are good, are not advocated for sac
rifice. They should be enacted into
law, not for the glory of any indi-
yidual. but in the interests of the
millions of our people,

BREACH OF PROMISE CASE
TO BE TRIED NEXT WEEK
Man in Suit Has Been in Jail
Since December 9.

Judge Frederick Adams in the
Circuit court today put the trial of
the breach of promise suit brought
by Julia Bahofskl against Nicholas
Truman on the list of cases to be
tried next week. A week ago Judge
Adams refused to put the case down
for trial during the December term
of court as it had not been listed
at the opening, explaining that he
did not see how he could do so under
the general practise act.
Truman has been in Jail in default
of $500 bail since December 9, and
today. on appeal of Charles II.
Myers, his counsel, and by agreement
with julius Feldmann. counsel for
Miss Bahofski, Judge Adams placed
the case in next weeks call.
Miss Bahofski alleges that on or
about October last, she became en-
gagged to Truman. who is employed
by the Singer Sewing Machine Co. at
Elizabethport, where Miss Bahofski
was then living with an aunt. The
wedding day was set for November
49,. she says, but OH that date Truman
did not appear and later stated he
would not marry her.
Miss Bahofsh then came to this
city and obtained employment at Z
Sidney place. Early in December she
swore out bill of complaint against
Truman. He was arrested and has
since been in jail awaiting trial Of
the civil action. No amount of dam
ages is named by the girl in her
complaint.

HOLD PHILADELPHIA ON
PETIT LARCENY CHARGE

Harry J. Miller. % years old, who
gave his address at 1416 Germantown
avenue. Philadelphia. whom the po-
lice believe is a professional crook,
was today held in $500 bail for the
grand jury by Acting Judge Rooney,
in the First Criminal Court, on a
charge of petit larceny.
Miller was arrested yesterday aft
ernoon shortly after he had stolen
handbag containing s76S in the
Office of DIR. Harry Marshall, on the
ninth floor Of the Essex building.
The bag was the property of Mrs.
Emma Godfrey, wife of Detective
Sergeant Walter Godfrey, of the pros
ecutor's staff.
When Mrs. Godfrey returned from
the physicians private Office to the
waiting room she discovered that
her handbag and young man who
was in the waiting-room had both
disappeared. The police were noti-
fed and Detectives Smith and King,
of the First precinct. hurried to the
scene and finally located Miller on
the floor below. The money was
found in his possession. and later
the bag, which had been thrown
away, was found.
