Milestones.

One of the many curious effects of
the war was the way it put news into
cold storage. Almost every day that
passes, in England as elsewhere, some
story or other is gaining publicity,
and Is being eagerly read and dis
cussed, which, if peace had reigned
instead of war during the past five
years, would have, long since, been
forgotten in the back files of the news
papers. Thus Major Hesketh-Pritch-
ard, one-time famous as cricketer,
and now famous as a soldier, has been
pouring out news as to the many in
genious devices resorted to at the
front in establishing an observation
post. This is for instance the case
of the milestone. 1t stood on the sum.
NIT of a little ridge at the cross reads,
between the two front line trenches.
The French photographed the mile
stone, had facsimile made of it in
thin steel with a gauze-covered obser
walton hole, and successfully changed
the real thing for the dummy by night !;
in this way gaining perfect observa-
ton post in the center of no-man's
land. Thus some mflestOnes even have
greatness thrust upon them.

Workers in Art.

Like Sir Joshua Reynolds. Michael
Angelo was great believer in the
force of labor; and he held that there
was nothing which the imagination
conceived that could not be embodied
in marble, If the hand were made Wig
orously to obey the mind He was
himself one of the most indefatigable
OF workers; and he attributed his pow
er OF studying for a greater number Of
hours than most of his contemporaries
to his spare habits of living. A little
bread and wine was all he required
for the chief part of the day when en-
ployed at his work; and very fire..
quently he rose in the middle of the
night to resume his labors.-Dean Al

Story of THANKSGIVING Day.

Only since 1858 can Thanksgiving be
claimed as national observance.
Many people have misconception of

pre-eminently a day for New England.
On their soil, and by their people, it
was initiated, Becoming national after
the Revolutionary war, the day was
only occasionally observed, from 1884.

WNHIS famous poem comes to

mind with each recurring
Thanksgiving day, and carries
us back to 1921 when the land
was young and our pilgrim fOrbears
were laying the first foundation stones
of our great American republic. 10
them belongs the credit Of having cele-
brated the first Thanksgiving day in
New England, but not the first in
North America. Historians remind us
of the fact that in the year 1873 an
English minister named Wolfall con-
Quoted Thanksgiving service on the
shores of Newfoundland. The min

and rock-bound coast" of Plymouth
''praySed God" in sincere gratitude for
the way in which he had delivered
them from all the dangers of the deep
that the MayflOwer had gone through
We of the luxurious plenty of our day
would feel that we had little for
which to be grateful if We had no
more than the Pilgrims had on their
first Thanksgiving day. Dangers known
and unknown encompassed them round
about. and their days were filled with
hard labor while their fare was of the
plainest and the future was uncertain.
But they had stout hearts in which
hope ran high. OF the American
Thanksgiving one historian says:
"The annual celebration, as we have
it in it's present form, is essentially of
American conception. The settlers of
jamestown, the Dutch of New York,
the Pilgrims of Plymouth, and the Pu-
ritans of Boston were in every respect
dev0utly religious people. They were
cornerstones In the great temple of
republican government on this side of
the Atlantic. The first written consti-
tuition in all history was an American
document, in that it was written in the
cabin of the Mayflower on Saturday.
Nov. II, 1920, as that UNIQUE craft
swung at her anchor in Provincetown
harbor, the first six words being In
the name of God, Amen This phrase
laid the foundation stones of our
western civilization. These men
brought but little with them, but left
much to posterity. If this were the
only thing they left us, the American
Thanksgiving day, their names would
be immOrtalized. 1t gives joy to the
humblest of peoples. On the follow
ing autumn there was held a 'grande
thanksgiving The most condensed ac-
count of this 'grande thanksgiving can
be found in letter written by Ed

company about one week. At which
times among other recreations we ex-

days we entertained and toasted. and

Not Essentially American,

Our American Thanksgiving is usual
ly considered our one native contribu.
ton TO the holidays of nations, as its
observance originated with the New
England fathers. Perhaps the fathers
themselves liked to think of it in this
originative way and so wished it per-
petuated-as something that had flow
cred on the bleak rock of their per-
sonal struggle. 1t was to be peculiarly
their day, peculiarly a heroic New Eng.
land day, an American day. So in a
sense it is; so in sense 1t is not
Many other nations have had such
days of thankfulness.

The favorite way of celebrating
Thanksgiving in New England was, of
course, first with prayer and a sermon,
in which the minister told his congre-
cation the many things they had to be
thankful for. The church was generally
decorated with fruits and grains, and
when the custom became national this
was continued. The idea of the Thanks
giving dinner in New England was to
have all of the fruits of the harvest,
and turkey became the principal meat
course because this bird was so plenti-
full and was caught In the wild state
and prepared most appetizingly by the
housewives.
! Then there was pumpkin pie, and as
cranberries grew In great quantities in
New England states the sauce of that
berry was fitting addition to the
turkey course. Plum cake, or, as it has
come to be known, fruit cake. was
tavorite for the Christmas holidays in
England and was brought over with
other dainties by the first Of the set
lers, and the recipes for making treas
lred by the housewives.
Meat pies, or, as we call them, mince
pies, came later in the list of good
!htngs for Thanksgiving.
With the very earliest settlers the
lay was, indeed, day of prayer, and
little else besides, but later it became
feast day, as well, and 1t was poor
family, indeed, in New England that
could not afford turkey for Thanks
giving dinner.
