old TALE RETOLD
Origin Of the American Thanks
giving Day.
VIII Bear Repetition Annually a.
Something of Which Every 4.
Citizen May Be Proud.

The ancient Thanksgiving did not,
as some have fancied, skip down the
ages to find Its home In America. In
one way or another 1t seems to have
always been observed. Throughout
Europe, before the Reformation, special
days were set apart as days Of re.
ligious thanksgiving. The American
Thanksgiving day is traced back to the
Pilgrims.
Shortly after the landing of the Pill
grims, while searching for a suitable
place in which to build their homes,
they one day came upon some deserted
Indian huts, in which they found some
baskets filed with corn. From this
supply they succeeded in saving enough
to plant their first years crop.
In the spring Of 1921 the seed corn
was sown and Its growing watched
anxiously by the people Of the little
colony. To their great Joy, the har-
vest of the following October was a
bountiful one. Governor Bradford or
dered three days feast in celebration
thereof. Wild turkeys, geese, ducks
and water fowl corn bread and vege-
tables no doubt formed the chief con-
stituents Of their feast, not to speak
of the five deer brought In by tribe
of friendly Indians.
This festival is supposed to be the
first real Thanksgiving day from which
we date our celebration. This cele-
bration, although without doubt the
origin of our national Thanksgiving
day, may be looked upon as merely a
local observance, being held by the
Plymouth colony only. They were the
forerunners Of less local celebrations
in Massachusetts, and gradually in 9TH
,er colonies, for in 1880 a public
Thanksgiving day was observed in
Boston by the Bay colony, and again
in 1881.
During the next fifty years there
were as many as % public Thanks
giving days appointed in Massachu-
sets, usually in October or Novem-
Der, after the gathering In of the har-
vests, or to celebrate some public
benefit. It did not become a regular
holiday until long time afterward.
In 1889 Washington issued the IA
nous Thanksgiving proclamation rec
ommending Thursday, November 90,
as national day to be devoted to
prayer and Thanksgiving. Washing
toms example was followed by other
Presidents.
In 1868 President Lincoln appointed
the fourth Thursday in November as
the national Thanksgiving day. Since
then the day has been observed an
nually without interruption.

investigated. And hereO is what /
found-vcry smart pocketbooks for the

one. It is more oblong than square,
although it is almost as broad as 1t is
long. Across the top is a short strap

a leather with kind of raised design
that looks like the markings on a pea
cocks tail. And, in truth, the name
peacock is applied to this finish that
to me. at least. is new and very un-
usual. The pocketbooks come in tan.
