THE PILGRIMS THANKS.
They "Found We Lord to Be With
Them In All Their Ways"

The aboriginal American Thanksgiv-
ing, parent of innumerable festivals of
gratitude and rejoicing il the course
OF nearly 300 years, is perhaps famil-
lar, but it deserves recollection now
that Thanksgiving is with us. 1t was
toilsome and dangerous year drew on
In September they had sent their
"shalop to the Massachusetts. with ten
men and Squanto for their guide and
interpreter, to discover and view that
bay, and trade with the natives. the
which they performed and found kind
table place, we perceive. long before
there was any Common on the slopes
of the Beacon hill. And the Bay was
already a place to be envied for resi-
dence: "They returned in s~afetie, and
brought home a good quantity of bea
yer, and made report of the place,
wishing they had been there seated
(but it seems We Lord, who assigns to
all men We bounds of their h%abitations.
had appointed it for another use). And
thus they found We Lord to be with
them in all their ways, and to bless
their outgoings and mornings, fol
which let his holy name have ye praise
forever, to all posteritie."
This was the spirit of remembering
and fo~relooking gratitude in which
Governor Bradford brooded on the
project of a common time of thanks
giving. The harvest time had fully
come. "They BECAME now to gather in
We small harvest they had and to fl;
up their houses and dwellings against

And as he concluded with a flourish of
his hand toward the twins, now sleep
ing OIL the floor, light broke on the as
tonished circle, and it laughed till it
cried. And when it had finally wiped
its eyes into vision again it beheld the
erstwhile bride and groom unrestrain-
eddy devouring chocolates.
Several hours later a very tired,
sleepy William, clinging tight to his
fathers hand, suddenly opened his eyes
wide.

WHO NAMED THE TURKEY?
Thanksgiving Bird Does Not Owe It's
Name to the Mohammedan Country,

tIdfNoSiNf'S ~ 0O0 W. -
Name to the Mohammedan Country.
How the turkey came by its name
has been a moo question for a long
time.
The Thanksgiving fowl is an Amer
lean bird which was introduced to
Europe from the new world and had
nothing whatever to do with Turkey
or the Turks. The name turkey, how
V was originally applied to the fowl
which is now known as the guinea
fowl. and some authors in the six
teenth and seventeenth centuries con-
founded the two species.
As both birds became more common
and better known, to quote the En-
cyclopedia Britannica, "the distinction
was gradually perceived, and the name
turkey became restricted to that from
the new world, possibly because of its
repeated call note, to be syllabled
turk, turk, turk whereby it may be
almost said to have named itself. The
turkey, so far as we know, was first
described by Oviedo in his 'Sumario de
la natural historic de las Indias,' said
to have been published in 1921"

From the Earliest Times.

The first national Thanksgiving may
be said to have been the one offered
up at st. Paul's cathedral, London, for
the defeat of the Spanish armada, Sep
TENDER, 1888. The English settlers in
tom Of their native land, and at an
early period in Il colonial history
Thanksgiving became quite common.
The institution may be said to be the
natural outgrowth of human nature
and has probably existed in some form
or other from the earliest times.

Causes For ThankfuIness.

1t is worth while in this Thanksgiv-
ing season to contemplate the marvel
Gus privileges enjoyed by all people in
such a land as America-not simply
that plenty of all abounds, that la
Dor is employed, that harvests are
abundant, that prosperity sings the
song of contentment and hope, but that
all things are working together for the
betterment of the conditions affecting
the well being of misunderstanding

Send a THANKSGIVING Box.

A Thanksgiving box of good things
is acceptable to almost any n who
does not make n of a family group
on Thanksgiving day. While teachers
and students in boarding schools and
colleges are usually associated with
these boxes from home, the young man
or woman in business with a boarding
house for a home will be quite as ap-
preciative of such a remembrance as
any one else. For the oma keeping
stocked Thanksgiving box is a real
joy and furnishes the wherewithal for
a festivity worthy of the name of
Thanksgiving.

All were staring at Suzy-that is, all

Williams wall broke forth without
restraint. He felt the thing he had
started had got beyond him.
"You have my sympathy, old man,

was indicative of trouble

William.
Suzy. hugging herself, shook her

"Why. indeed?" he unused. "But

"Who's there left in your family to

There's Uncle Jim, but he wouldn't

There's your burst out Suzy.
William looked dazed. Suzy's

"Me," answered Suzy.
William sighed heavily and rubbed
the frost from the window with one
finger and for the seventh time peered
out into the drear out of doors. Why
didn't Suzy come? 1t was most dinner

Thanksgiving Ode
By JOHN CREENLEAF WHITTIER.

By JOHN CREENLEAF WHITTIER.
NNCE more the liberal year
" laughs out
Ger richer stores than
gems Of gold;
Once more with harvest song and
shout
Is natures bloodless triumph
told.
Our common mother rests and
sings,
Like Ruth, among her garnered
sheaves.
Her lap is full Of goodly things;
Her brow is bright with autumn
leaves.
0 favors every year made newI
0 gifts with rain and sunshine
sent!
The bounty overruns our due;
The fullness shames our discon-
tent.
We shut our eyes. and flowers
bloom on;
We murmur, but the corn ears
fill;
We choose the shadow, but the. sun
That casts it shines behir ! us
God gives us with our rugged soil
The power to make it Eden fair
And richer fruits to crown our toll
Than summer welded islands
bear. 4
Who murmurs at his lot todayp
Who scorns his native fruit and
bloom
Or signs for dainties far away
Beside the bounteous board Of
homes?
Thank heaven, instead. that free
dom's arm
Can change a rocky soil to gold;
That brave and generous lives can
warm
A cline with northern ices cold.
And let these affairs, wreathed with
flowers
And piled with fruits. awake
again
Thanksgiving for the golden hours,
The early and the latter rain.
