For Which We Owe Thanks,

That we have much to be thankful
for no one doubts or denies. 1t is not
necessary to rehearse details. We
know that We are a happy and favored
people. We are rich, prosperous and

that are distressing the nations of the

regard as blessings. and for which we
are supposed to give thanks, are bless.

only in so far as we humbly acknowl.
edge that they are tho gifts of God.
The danger is, not that we shall at.
tribute too much to the divine power,
but that we shall take too much credit
to ourselves. This has always been
true. Far back in Old Testament times
the people were warned against think.

wealth which they enjoyed. and were
told that 1t was God who had given
them the power to get wealth. The

The First "euxx Wagon"

While neighborhood contests have
been held in the past over claims to
the title of "the Oldest inhabitant,"
Nebraskans of the future are likely
to tilt over the right to possession Of
the appellation, "the Oldest chauffeur"
The affair appears to be settled for
time by claims set up by Beers John

at Henderson. Mimi. informs Secre.
tary Paine of the Nebraska Historical
society that 1t was he who operated
"Joe Browns old steam wagon.

Some Appropriate Thoughts.

The general idea is that when we
have an abundance OF material goot
we should be thankful. or course, the
converse is equally true. And as this
is matter of Interpretation for each
individual, and as he sees many o.
his fellows who have prospered better
than he, 1t disinclines him to give
thanks. Another theory is that al
though we have meager possessions
others have less. therefore we should
be thankful. This Is a mighty mean
way to do. It's one way of Growing
over your unfortunate neighbor, and is
the quintessence OF littleness. Anoth
er way Is to thank God that your neigh.
bors are no better off than yourself.
This 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
neighbOr 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 so bad
but that they might not be worse. II
not, then one might find an endless
chain Of thanksgiving II one could
really be thankful to a being who
would so dispose or order events as to
produce so much misery. All these

CUSTOM HAS ALWAYS Been
Lincoln Issued First Thanks.
giving Proclamation.

There Is some discussion as to the
origin Of the present national custom
OF observing Thanksgiving day. It
was held by a large number of people,
until recently. that the custom was
first established by President Lincoln
during the Civil war. Examination of
the records showed that his was a
mistake. A number Of the presidents
who preceded Mr.. Lincoln issued
Thanksgiving proclamations, the prac-
tice dating back to Washington. They
mad been desultory, however. and there
had been no regular repetition of the
proclamation until after 1t had been is
sued by Mr.. Lincoln.
The custom Of observing a day Of
thanksgiving and prayer is as old as
the civilization Of the country. 1t was
inaugurated in New England very
shortly after the arrival Of the first
English immigrants, and it gradually
became the day Of all others in the
year, for SURPRISING Christmas in the
enthusiasm and universality of its OBJ
servance. In the southern states, prior
to the Civil war, 1t was quite general,
though there was no common day Of
celebration. The governors Of the
states Issued their proclamations with.
out reference to the dates set by the
governors Of other states. and 1t not
infreQuently happened that the cele-
bration would occur in Maryland on a
day different from that which was OBJ.
served In the neighboring states. There
were commonwealths. prior to the
Civil war. where no proclamation was
issued. and there was no observance
whatever.
The proclamation of Mr.. Lincoln
seemed to electrify the country and to
cement the states In their observance
Of Thanksgiving. though there were
commonwealths which for some years
afterward selected a different date.
This gradually ceased. until now the
celebration has become a thoroughly
national and universal event. For q
while 1t eclipsed the Fourth Of July,
and in New England today 1t far sur
passes Christmas In interest. With
the disappearance of sectionalism,
however, the Fourth of July has as
sumed its normal place in American
holidays, and is not likely again.
