striking miners facing an ultimatum
of the mining companies that, on
May 1, general evictions from the
company houses in which they lived
would take place, leaving them'with:-
out shelter. More serious, indeed, was
the fact that, owing to the long
drawn out struggle, the organized

The First Thanksgiving.

Just before Christmas in 1890 banit of brave Pilgrims landed at Plymouth, Mass. They had como over the ocean in the Mayiower. At first they lived in England. but the king wanted ev- erybody to go to his church, and they did not believe as the king did and were treated very cruelty. They went to Holland. They were not contented among the Dutch and hence came to America
 They had 8 very hard winter and when spring came many of them died. One day an Indian came to the village and said:
 Welcome, Englishmen."
 They soon made friends with the Indians and they showed them how to

were shortest in December. In those early days Raiders festival was an occasion of great rejoicing and many mysterious performances, and 1t is probable the boys and girls then used to cut up as they do in this age on All HaIlow's night.~
 The bonefre celebrated religious rite, the bounfre protected marines on the coast, the ooontire was great fire of timber and brush; and the bon nie fire the blaze around which the children danced in Elee, now bonfire but earlier called the bonAer, accord ing to old Barnaby Googe.
 Before the days of fireworks all great victories and festivals were cele- brated by fires in public places, and in the early days and up to quite re- gently, the election fire in November once in four years was the regular symbol of joy Of the victorious party.
 It is not uncommon even now in some parts of Massachusetts to have a great bonfire on the morning of the Fourth of July to give zest to the eel ebration of the declaration of Ameri- can independence.

A Grand Wolf Hunt.

One day some time ago some farm CTS were coming across the field. They were looking toward the ground and talking loudly.
 One said: "There it is again"
 Presently another farmer joined the party. What are you looking for?" he asked. This man was Israel Put nam.
 David Brown answered: "For the wolf that has killed twenty of my sheep"
 How do you know it is the same one?" asked Putnam.
 Because" said Brown, "she has lost the toes off of her left forefoot, as the tracks plainly show"
 They traced her to 2 den of rocks. Then the question arose Who will go in after her?
 Putnam consented to go. He tied a rope around his waist and crawled into the den. When he jerked the rope that was a. signal for the on1ookers to pull him out.
 He loaded his gun and went in. For a long time he did not pull the rope, and the people thought he had met his fate.
 Finally by the light of the wolfs own eyes he fired a shot She gave a low, piteous growl and fell dead.
 Putnam fastened the body of the wolf to rope and gave sharp jerk. His friends pulled the rope and out came Putnam and the wolf together
 This ended the trouble the farmers had with the wolf
