the towns $500 inha bitants.

Johnny Enjoys
A Good Dinner

Johns Thanksgiving dinner was
not going to be as good as our
Thanksgiving dinners. He was
going to have oatmeal. So John
said to his mother. "Why can't we
have a nice Thanksgiving dinner
like other people do?"
"Why, Johnny, we have nothing
for Thanksgiving. Why should you
ask that?'
That night Johnny sat down eat
ing his oatmeal, thinking of to-
morrow and what he was going to
have for his Thanksgiving dinner,
when all at once he heard a noise
like bear.
Johnny's father ran and got his
gun and went out to see what it
was and he saw bear going
around the house. His father Kill
led it, and Johnny had q nice
Thanksgiving dinner.

FIRST THANKSGIVING

Once the captain of the Pilgrims
said let us have day of thanks, so
they got ready by killing wild tur-
keys and popping corn. The mo-
theirs made pumpkin pies. They
went to church and had long
sermon. am sure you would get
tired of sitting in church so long
and keeping so quiet while all
those good things SO nice were
waiting. They invited the Indians.
They must have had good time
for it lasted three days: And now
we call 1t Thanksgiving.

STUFFED TURKEY

One day poor little girl asked
her mother what kind of meat they
were going to have for Thanksgiv-
ing dinner. The poor mother, who
was weak and thin, said, "My dear,
/ do not know. This Is going to
be very poor Thanksgiving for
u.s."
When the father came home that
night he was very happy. After the
children were in bed the husband
said, Dear, I hate a new idea. l
found turkey skin on the way
coming home this evening. Get
some rags and we will stuff the
turkey and make the children be-
lieve it is real one."
When the children woke the next
morning it was Thanksgiving. They
saw the turkey and thought it was
a real one. They soon found out
that it wasn't. But they had some
good meat for dinner if they did
not have any turkey.

were to go. They wore the best
clothes they had.
They arrived in New York City.
They were met by the chauffeur
and his big machine.
1t was about eleven-thirty when
they arrived at the big house, and
the dinner was almost ready. Oh,
what a big dinner! Ruth thought
it wonderful. They had every
thing that Thanksgiving dinner
could possibly have.
After dinner they took a long
ride in the automobile. When they
returned they had a nice supper.
Then they were taken to the sta
tion and went home very happy.
That night when Ruth's mother
came to kiss her good night Ruth
said she had never had such a nice
time in all her life. She said she
liked Thanksgiving and would al
ways be thankful.

When the Pilgrims came over in
the Mayflower it was in December.
It was verv cold. The Pilgrims
suffered very much and many of
them died. But the next fall they
had such a good harvest that they
had a Thanksgiving. They invited
all the friendly Indians.
Thanksgiving morning the Pill
grims came to church. The ser
on was very long and a man went
around with a pole. On one end
was sort of ball which he tap
ped on peoples heads if they talk
ed and at the other end was a rab-
bits tail which he tickled on the
neck.
The men had to carry guns to
church because there were lots of
savage Indians around who were
very cruel.
When they came home they
spread the table, gave thanks to
God and had a fine feast, and that
was the First Thanksgiving.

1t was two weeks before Thanks
giving. Little Ruth was sitting
on the steps of her house. She
did not know what Thanksgiving
meant. Ruth ran into the house
and asked her mother about it.
Her mother told her. Ruth thought
it very nice. She said she wished
she could have nice Thanksgiv-
ing like most other little girls.
Ruth had a very rich aunt who
lived in New York. She never
thought of little Ruth and how
poor she was. But one day she
was sewing and happened to look
up and see Ruth's picture.
It was about a week before
Thanksgiving when a letter came
to Ruth's mother saying they were
to come to New York to Aunt
Lucy's house and have a nice
Thanksgiving dinner. She also en-
closed the car fare.
The week went very slowly, but
at last the time came, and they

Pilgrims Had
Hard Time

The Pilgrims had hard time.
When they went to church the men
would carry guns and the women
would carry the bibles. The In
dians would hide behind the trees
and climbed upon the churches and
hide under the windows and when
church was going on they would
begin to shoot. The men would
grab their guns and begin to fight
them back. When they went home
they said, "God has been good to
us SO let's thank Him." They were
all willing to. They made all Of
the Indians bring corn and many
other things and the Pilgrims went
to hunt while the women cooked.
Soon the dinner was ready. The
Indians were invited and what a
nice time they had. They all bow
ed their heads. They ate and ate
till they were done.

A DROWNED TURKEY

Once upon a time there was a
little girl whose name was Margar-
ct. She lived near river. The
next day was Thanksgiving. That
night when her father came home
she said, Tomorrow is Thanksgiv-
ing day, and l want turkey"
Her father said, "All right, I
will buy a big fat one" The next
day he went up town and bought
a big fat turkey. He brought it
home Then he chopped it's head
off. It flopped and flopped till fin.
ally it flopped into the river. Then
they had to do without their
Thanksgiving dinner.
