New News Of Yesterday
A New Version of the 0ri-
gin Of Thanksgiving Day
BY Holland.

At a recent examination Of some
young women who were qualifying for
serving as teachers, the question was
asked "What is the'origin of Thanks
giving Day?" Some of the young
women confessed their inability to
answer the question Two or three
were persuaded that the correct
answer was that the national thanks
giving was established shortly after
the close of the Civil War for the pur-
pose of rendering thanks for the re-
turn of peace. Not one Of the young
women had ever heard that our
Thanksgiving Day was first instituted
by the Pilgrim Fathers at Plymouth,
Mass. This incident, which was
brought to my attention a few days
ago, reminded me of a conversation
once had with Chauncey NJ pepew.
who narrated to me the manner in
which the national observance Of a
day of thanks and feasting began.
1T was in the year 1863 that the
first Presidential proclamation setting
apart a day of thanksgiving was is
sued" said Senator Depew. Before
that time. all of the New England
States, and I think all of the States
which were settled by people who
went TO new States from New Eng
land, observed a day in November as
a day of thanksgiving. and this was
usually made a legal holiday by proc
lamatiOn issued by the governors OF
the States. II was exclusively "a State
institution.
Some time in the fall of 1868 il oc-
CURED to a member of President Lin
coins Cabinet think it was Seward
that IL would be fine thing II the
President were to issue a proclama
tion in which he set apart a day IN No
vember for thanksgiving. President
Lincoln was called upon one evening
by the Cabinet officer TO whom this
idea had occurred. He put on a very
grave face, as though the matter were
of serious import and he said TO Prcsi-
dent Lincoln that the administration
at Washington had been so often ac-
cused of violating State rights thai it
wouldn't make much difference IN an
additional charge of that kind were
made. Therefore, he was going 90 pro-
pose that the President venture TO take
that step Lincoln was not long in
pcrceiving that there was something
humorous behind this assumption of "a
serious manner, and he said. Let me
hear what state right YOU now pro-
pose 10 violate
"The President was then told that
many of the States had for years, by
proclamation of their governors. set
apart day for thanksgiving and feast
ing, and ii might be a good idea for the
President of The United States TO pro
claim a national day of that kind.
Lincoln took al once to the idea
and nc said there wasn't any reason
why the President should not feel
qualification for an our people had
! enjoyed, and should ask the people To
/ share with him in that qualification
/ There wasn't any reason why he
/ shouldn't proclaim that He immed-
lately prepared and signed a proclama-
tion, which was issued a day or two
later That is the way the national
observance of a day of thanksgivinp
began in the United States"
The credit of this method of desig
mating day for national thanksgiv.
ing is usually given TO Mrs. Sarai
Josepha Hale, of Philadelphia, editor
of Godey's Lady's Book.
