Protestant churches of America, dis
gusted with the dirty use of their re-

the movement to keep Ireland in bon

Ito put an end to this state of affairs.
The Rev. G. 8. Lakeland, pastor Of the
:Grace Methodist Episcopal Church at
Denver, Colorado, is one Of the lead
ers, and is among the four signers of
a letter being sent to Protestant pas
tors in many parts Of the nation. The
1nter-Church League for Irish 1nde.
pendence is the name of the organiza-
tion formed, and headquarters have
been established at 2126 Woolworth
Building, New York City. Following
is the letter sent out:
Reverend and Dear Brother: The
religious aspect Of the question Of
Irish independence. concerns you VI
tally. Stripped of it's camouflage Of
political propaganda, the religious is-
sue in Ireland comes to this: the
world is asked to believe that to main
tain its supremacy in Ireland the Pro-
testant religion is desirous of keeping
a nation in political bondage. and to
attain this unholy end is willing to
use machine guns, bomb dropping
aeroplanes, the dungeon and the
sword.

sixTY-NlNE YEARS AGO.
The First Thanksgiving Day in Mime.
sofa Was December 26, 1850.

The first Thanksgiving ever held in
Minnesota was observed December 26,
1850. This was two years after Min
nesota' became territory, and the
proclamation designating the observ-
ance was issued by Governor Alexan-
der Ramsey, st. Paul, following re-
quest for such action by st. Paul
clergymen.
The first proclamation was issued
December 6, 1850.
On December 3, 1850, the following
letter was sent to Governor Ramsey:
Respected Sir: 1t has long been
the custom of our forefathers, the
descendants of the Hugenots, Cove
nanters and Puritans, to set apart
certain day to acknowledge the favors
received from the hand of Our Father
who are in Heaven We believe that
the appointment of day by the gov
ernors of the several states, to give
thanks to the Gods, has always pro-
duced the happiest effects; strength
ening the love of the Union, recalling
the deeds of the illustrious dead, fos-
tering the affections of the f1reside
and promoting the interests of pure
and undefiled religion.
Therefore, the undersigned min
listers of various branches of the holy
Catholic church respectfully petition
your excellency to issue recommen-
dation and invitation to the people of
this territory to assemble in their re.
spective places of worship on Thurs
day, the 26th inst, and unite in CIV
ing thanks to the Author of every
good and perfect gift.

was asked again to isspe a proclaim

the governor did, appointing Decem-

Garner Doubts Missing Link Lives;

Prof. r. L. Garner does not believe

he was unable to capture alive, that
American scientists might determine
just how close is its relation to man

him, thanks to the good shooting eye
of my taxidermist, Aschemeier, who
had never handled a gun before this
trip. 1t is now up to the fellows in
Washington to place this animal.
This fellow, remember, is not
monkey. He belongs to the anthro-
poid apes, which differ from monkeys
as much as monkeys differ from
man. An ape has the same number
of bones as man, his bones articu-
late the same way and have the
same functions. The tail of the ape

Mystery enshrouds the identity

was found in the bed of Castle creek
about two miles south of Sodium

that the skeleton had lain so long
in the creek that the bones were
covered with moss suggests that the
unknown boy met death probably two
years ago.
