Pilgrims Awakened by
Whoops and Yells

Dear Editor:-I will write about the
first Thanksgiving.
Long, long ago, whom the Pilgrims
first came over to America, nobody
lived here but Indians. Most of them
we're friendly, and some of Their were
not.
The Indian men showed the white
men how to plant corn, and how to live
in such strange place.
When all came and they gathered
there harvest they were so happy that
they said, LET us set aside a day, in
which to give thanks to God for our
rich harvest
So 1t was said that on Thursday
they would have holiday.
Thursday morning the Pilgrims were
awakened by whoops and yells, which
told them that their guests had all
arrived.
That morning everyone, young and
old went to church. The preacher was
ready with a sermon.
After preaching was over they went
home to the good dinner to which they
knew was waiting for them.
This is how the Pilgrims spent the
first Thanksgiving day.

Edna Enid Mothers Favor
lite Horse ''Black Beauty"

Dear Editor:
l will write you a story Of my moth
er's favorite horse and what happened
to her.
She was a beautiful horse, coal
black in color and always walked as
proudly with her head up. She was
very gentle.
Grandpa gave her to mamma when
she was a tiny little colt Mamma
named her Daisy. She was nice sin
gle driver and mamma drove her to
school when she was teaching in the
country. The school children called her
BLACK Beauty" She was IS years old
last May, just twice as old as l am.
Now l will tell what happened to
her. The 25th of September papa gath
cred some corn in the field and threw
it on the ground Just as got home
from school he hitched Daisy and an
other quiet horse to the wagon to
haul in the corn and told me to come
and drive the team from one pile of
corn to another for him. was glad
to go for I love to drive. We had al
most a load Of corn picked up when
Daisy put her head over the other
minutes she went as hard as she could
a short distance and then dropped
dead.
We all felt sorry for her but we know
she was well taken care Of all her life
and she never changed owners as so
many horses have to do in old age.
I wish all horses could have a real
home and not be traded from one own
err to another.

The Best Way Is to Help
Others Enjoy Day

The first celebrated Thanksgiving
was in 1921 by the pilgrims. After
harvest was all gathered. as the colony
had prospered during the year aftea
such hardships the winter before.
They decided to have a great feast
and the Indians brought fine deers to
eat
Since then it has been the custom
the last Thursday in November every
year to have a feast and give thanks
for the harvest and the years
blessings.
The best way to enjoy Thanksgiving
day is to help others to be thankful
and give others who can't enjoy it
few helpful things like inviting the
poor who can't afford to have nice
things to eat and give them things
nice to eat and help them to be thank
full also We should always celebrate
Thanksgiving and be thankful for our
crops and good things that have been
given to us.

THE PILGRIMS

The Pilgrims lived in England, but
as they were not satisfied with their
rights there, they went to Holland,
where they lived for eleven years. Be-
ing afraid if they remained there their
children would take up the Dutch
manners and customs, a hundred Of
them came to America in the May
flower in December, 1920, and landed
at Plymouth.
During the first year here they met
with many hardships and by spring
half Of their number had died. How
ever, when their harvest was gath
cred, Governor Bradford asked that
they set apart one day in November
to give thanks to God for all their
blessings. This is the story of our
first THANKSGIVING. and ever since the
custom has been followed. 1t comes
the last Thursday in November.

Hattie VALLEY Tells of Her
Uncle's Experience

This Is a story of an experience Of
my uncle In Writ, Minnesota.
My uncle got up at o'clock in the
morning and started out for a good
hunt. He shot a moose the first time
and the wolves were very thick.
My uncle looked at his watch and 1t
was o'clock and the sun was just 60
ing down. I was bitter cold. He said
he would freeze to death If he did not
have a fire, and he was twenty miles
from any habitation.
He got the wood all ready and then
reached in his pocket and found no
matches. A new idea came in his
mind. He took his knife and cut the
entrails out Of the moose. He was so
snug and warm.
During the night the skins froze
harder than a brick. A lot of hungry
wolves got around 1t and found 1t too
hard to eat In the morning the pris-
oner could not get out as easily as he
got In. .~
In the morning a hunter happened
to pass by and heard the wolves
growing and shot. He drove the
wolves away, but shot the prisoner IN
the leg: They opened the moose and
took him twenty-five miles to home.
He said he never would go hunting
again.

THE FIRST THANKSGIVING.

Dear Courier Juniors: | will write
about the first Thanksgiving.
The pilgrims came to this country
50 they could worship In their own
way.
They came to this country In ship
named the Mayf1ower.
They started in August and landed
here in December so it took them five
months to get here.
There were one hundred and two
passengers on the ship.
AS soon as they landed the men be-
gan to build homes and get the ground
ready to raise a crop.
In November after they landed they
had their crops all gathered and
thought that they would thank God
because he had been 80 kind to help
them when they had nothing.
So they invited the Indians to come
and thank God with them Then the
pilgrim fathers went out and shot wild
turkeys and the Indians brought deer.
so they had a feast and all thanked
God
And that was the first Thanksgiving.

thankful for. She said she had three
things to be thankful for. They were
a good mother and a home and a
father that had died Christian.
And 80 we told her about our party
and she asked us if we were not thank
full to have so nice party?
And we said, yes We were. rs:
And we asked her if she could come
