quaint account Of the landing of the
Pilgrims at Provincetown:
Wednesday, the sixth of September
(162O), the wind coming East North
East, fine small gale, we loosed from
Plymouth, having been kindly enter
tanned and courteously used by divers
friends their dwelling, and after many
difficulties in boysterius stormes, at
length by Gods providence upon the
ninth of November following, by breake
of the day we espied land which we
esteemed to be Cape Cod. and so 1t
proved. And the appearance Of II much
comforted us, especially on seeing so
goodly a land, and Wooded to the
brink Of the sea, 1t caused us to re-
Joyce together and praise God that He
had given 1t to US once againe to see
land. And thus we made our course
South South West, purposing to go to
River ten Leagues to the South of
the Cape. but at nighte, the wind be-
Ing contrary, we put rounde againe
for the Bay Of Cape Cod, and upon
the II we came to an anchor in the
Bay, which Is good Harbour and a
pleasant Bay, circled round except In
the entrance, which Is about four miles
over from land to land, comprised
about to the very Sea with Okes, Pines,
Juniper. Sassafras and other sweet
wood; 1t has harbour wherein one
thousand sale of ships may safely
ride, there we relieved ourselves with
wood and water. and refreshed our
people, while our shallop was fitted to
coast the Bay to search for a habita-
ton, there was the greatest store Of
fowle that ever we saw."
The Pilgrims had hard time the
first winter at Plymouth, but in 1921
determined TO have a period of rec
reation, combined with Thanksgiving
for their many mercies." The gov
ernor thereupon sent out four hunts
men who in one day secured enough
game for the purpose. Massasoit, the
Indian chief was invited to participate
In this first thanksgiving. He accept
ed and brought 90 people with him.
The celebration lasted three days,
The first Thanksgiving day observed
by all the states of the Union was rec
commended by proclamation of con-
gress after the surrender Of Burgoyne
in TIT and was fixed for Thursday,
December 10. Each year thereafter
until 1884 congress continued to rec
ommend day for Thanksgiving, the
several states accepting the date. Then
for a time the observance was left
wholly to the states. The day had its
ups and downs. President Lincoln

Americans should understand and
appreciate the difference between the
Pilgrims and the Puritans. The Pill
grims were few; they were Separa
lists; they withdrew from the estab
lished Church of England they came
to America to secure freedom of wor
ship; they cared not how other mer
worshlped; they did little colonizing
their influence upon the nation was
small as compared with the Puritans
The Puritans came over In thou
sands, beginning with 1890; they re
tained their membership In the Church
Of England; they brought the church
with them to reform 1t; they intended
to worship as they pleased and tc
make everyone else worship the same
way; "they fell first upon their knees
and then upon the aboriglnes;" they
colonized widely and effectively; from
them the American people got what
is known as the puritan conscience

When cork slides down inside q
bottle 1t is very difficult 10 get 1t out
unless one has the necessary tools,
and they are not always available,
writes Victor Fl. Todd, in Popular Sci
ence Monthly.
A good way to extract 1t is to grease
the neck Of the bottle with vaseline,
then hold the bottle under cold water.
When the bottle is as cold as pos
sible spear the cork with hat pin,
or even shake 1t until it blocks the
neck of the bottle and sets straight
with the neck. Then gradually heat
the bottle or pour hot water over 1t
and the expanding air will generally
force the cork out with a slight pop.

enjoyable holidays of the
year. So at this time we pause occa-
sionally In the mad rush Of the twen-

Next year the tercentenary of their
landing will be celebrated with con-

United States, England and Holland,
Every American schoolboy Of course
knows that the Pilgrim Fathers Off
cially landed on Plymouth Rock. and
that the famous rock is at Plymouth,
Mass. But there are comparatively
few Americans who know that the first
landing Of the Pilgrims was at
Provincetown, Mass, and are familiar
with their doings during the month.
The Mayfower lay In the quiet har-
Dor inside Cape Cod.
There was no Provincetown there
Of course, In 1920, but Cape Cod was
there and Its name was Cape Cod.
In 1902 Bartholomew Gosnold, the ex-
plorer, had visited the region and had
found Goldfish 80 plentiful that he had
just naturally called the long narrow
neck of land Cape Cod. Ever since
there has been any Provincetown,
however, Its people have been sensl-
tive on the subject of its claims to first
honors. That's why Provincetown
now has a monument on High Pole
hill. Many. years were required to
raise the money for Its erection.
The landing of the Pilgrims at Ply
mouth was, slow job. The congre-
cation Of John Robinson at Leyden
procured from the London company
for Virginia patent Of land and made
financial arrangements for the sailing
of part of their number. The Speed
well Of 60 TONS was purchased in Hol-
land, and in July 1920 1t sailed to
Southampton, England. There the
Mayfower Of 100 tons was awaiting
it. The two ships with about 40 pas
sengers put to sea in August The

over the Speedwell was due to its mas
ter's trickery. The Speedwell was
abandoned at Plymouth and the size
Of the party reduced. The Mayfiower
left Plymouth alone early in Septem-
Der.
In nine weeks 1t sighted the shore
of Cape Cod. Being far out of their
course the Pilgrims headed south. But
a few hours later the course was again
changed for the nearest shore Sat.
urday, November IL (21 N. S., 1920
the Mayfiower rounded Cape Cod and
found harbor.
This radical change Of destination
introduced a complication. Some OF
the hired laborers threatened to break
loose from their engagements on land
ing, because of the loss Of the author
ity delegated In the patent from the
Virginia company. The necessity OF
some form of civil government to unite
the well-affected and to restrain the
insurgept was imperative. So the ia
nous Mayfiower or Provincetown com
pact was drawn up and signed before
the first voyager landed. OF the Al
