THE FIRST THANKSGIVING.

Long ago in England the King de-
manded that everybody should worship
one religion, which was Episcopal.
There were many people OF different ro-
ligions who did not want to worship
this religion.
One day the people got together and
said: Lets go away" A ship called
the Mayfower was ready for them to
sail. Later they sailed to n place called
Holland, where they staid a while.
Their children began to talk the Dutch
language. They were very dsap-
pointed.
They soon left Holland and came to
America. On their way coming many
Of tho people died. They landed at
Plymouth. Mass.
The Pilgrims set about building log
cabins. The winter was long and cold.
When spring came they began to be
friendly with the Indians. They taught
the people to plant Indian corn, 10
tatoes and all sorts Of vegetables.
The people in return to the Indiana
decided to have feast. The men went
out hunting wild turkeys and beast.
They invited all the Indians they
knew--squaws, men and children. That
was called the First THANKSGIVING"

MORNING.

The sun has lifted his golden head.
And Is pceping over tho hill.
The flowers all glisten with dew.
A bird calls loud and shrill.
The quiet OF the night has etolen away,
Tho noise Of the day has begun.
Tho hustle and hustle OF man.
That begins ut the rise OF the sun.
TIL" morning glories on the wall
Have stretched forth their petals
bright,
And the ferns so green. bow sweetiy,
TO the brown-eyed daisies white
Down the big. brown road whstllng
checrily.
Comes the herd hoy merry and free.
Driving the sleek. red COWS to pasture,
The meadow green as can be-
A cool. sweet breeze blows softly,
And every little leaf Is awake.
The water lilies look snowy white,
On their thrones OF green on the lake.
We love the bright. sweet summer
morn,
When evcrything's lovely and bright,
When under the rays OF tho smiling
sun.
Things awaken into now life

once upon time n little girl named
Ruth went into the wood to gather
some lowers. She became very tired
and thought she would set down and
rest. While she was setting there she
heard a noise, and looked around and
saw a bear. She was so frightened she
ran away as fast rs she could.
After Il long run she came home. Her
mother asked Ruth where she had been.
Ruth told her mother she had been
into the woods to gather some flowers,
and told her about the bear frightening
her. That evening she was sitting In
the swing. One Of her playmates come
along and asked her II her mother got
Tho Times Dispatch and Ruth told her
yes. So Ruth got it. and they drew
things and wrote stories for The Times
Dispatch page.
