How Thanksgiving
DAYS Started

Did YOU know that the hrst
Thanksgiving Day came in Feb
ruary? 1t happened in the colony
of Charlestown in 1881. when the
people were starving, that boat
came with supplies. The govern
ment ordered a day of public re-
joicing and thanksgiving. In June,
1852, the Massachusetts had day
If public-thanksgiving, because of
, law passed in England, that was
favorable to the colonies. After
hat, the different colonies had diff
serent days (often several days)
set apart to express gratitude for
different special reasons "a victory
over the Indians or the arrival Of
supplies
Later, day in late autumn was
set apart as the day for everyone
to give thanks for the abundant
harvests just gathered in
In 1884, there was a Thanksgiv-
ing Day for peace( at the end of
the war for tIndependence) and one
later in 1889 for the adoption Of the
constitution. Almost all the states
had adopted the custom by 1850.
1t was our great Lincoln, who
finally in 1S63-64. appointed the an
nual Thanksgiving Day by nation
al proclamation. Since then, the
last Thursday Of November is cele-
brated as Thanksgiving Day all
over the country; and annual proc
lamations are issued by the Presi-
dent. the governors and the mayors
of the principal cities.
This year we have almost all the
things for each one OF which the
colonists had a special Thanksgiv-
ing; an immense wheat crop and
other plentiful harvests. freedom

When some one gives us nice
present on Christmas, we always
say, Thank you. so much" to the
one who gives 1t to US. For these
great. big gifts then, let us say az

Once there was a little girl
named Edna. She was little rich
girl. Next to her lived poor little
girl named May. 1t was the day
before Thanksgiving, and Edna
was going to have a big dinner;
but May could have nothing, and
was very sad because of it. 1t hap
pened that Edna was always very
kind to May. Edna said to her
mother, "Oh. let's invite May and
her mother to dinner!"
"All right" said her mother.
So. next day. Edna invited May
and her mother to dinner. They
had two turkeys, cranberries. tur-
key dressing, mashed potatoes,
gravy. and ice cream, cake and
pumpkin pie. May and her mother
said they had never had such a
good dinner before.
After they had gone. Edna said
to her mother. ooh. mother, 1 am
so happy because l was kind to
May and her mother. There's no
reason why the rich can't be kind
to the poor" So Edna had the hap
pest Thanksgiving she had ever
had. Elizabeth King.

Billy, My Rooster

have rooster named Billy and
he's a very proud rooster.
He has red, green and blue feath-
erS.
On day l went to feed Billy, and
he started after me. You ought to
have seen me run and heard me
scream. Since that l am afraid to
feed him.
When Mamma tells me to feed
him, l tell her, "You feed him,
Mamma, because l am afraid of
him"
One day I went to feed him and
he jumped at me and he knocked
the pan Of water out of my hands.
I ran up to the house and told

Mamma what he did, but she
laughed. But l didn't, SO then she
took him some water.
One night Mother told me to go
down and feed Billy or he would
starve. But said, Let him
starve." She said, "You 60 down
and feed him, and give him fresh
water. But said, II will feed him,
but you can give him fresh water"
But l had to feed him and give him
fresh water.
l have three little hens besides
him.
One day one of the little hens
went on the nest and laid an egg.
Afterwards the rooster sat on a
nest and the little boy next door
said, Maybe he will lay an egg"
l said. Boosters don't lay eggs. I"
But he kept on saying. "Yes they
do, yes they do"
Anyway, l hope he won't jump
at me any more.

and take them to my coop and
show them what fine bird | am.

dinner.
when the day came for me to
be killed they tied me in the barn
and got everything ready for q
feast.
"All the company came and they
were ready to kill me. but was
gone. q had wandered into the
woOds.)
1.-THE folks said had spoiled the
whole feast and they had nothing
but ordinary sausage instead of
fat turkey.
II was in the woods eating ber-
ries and worms and things l liked.
When was tired. said to my
self. Well. guess will 60 back

"The folks saw me and said.
Well, well. we will have him for
