BEAUTIFUL HANDS

Such beautiful, beautiful hands!
Net wondrous white nor small,
And you, perhaps, would never think
That they were fair at all.
A sculptor's dream might be,
Yet are these aged, wrinkled hands
:" Most beautiful to me.
Such beautiful, beautiful hands!
\: Though heart were worn and sad
These patient hands kept toiling on.
That the children nigh be glad,
And l could weep as looking back
To childhcod's distant day,
l think how these hands rested not
When mine were at their play.
But o, beyond this shadow-land,
Where all is bright and fair,
I know full we'll these dear old hands
Will palms of victory bear;
Where living streams, through end
less years. -. ~ - -, - :. :, ="
Flow over shining sands,
And where the old are young again,

settled largely by New Workers and
New Englanders, but the South was
tardy in adopting the idea.
Although Governor Johnson Of Nlf.
ginia designated Thanksgiving day in
1853, his successor, Governor Wise
when requested to do so, publicly de-
clined on the ground that he had no
authority TO interfere in the religious
matters of the people.
Meanwhile, in Philadelphia. Mrs
Hale was welding her facile pen In q
Jealous crusade to have Thanksgiving
day established as national festival
and observed upon a uniform date
throughout the country. For ~ years
she persisted in this agitation, not only
through the columns of the two maga
zines which she edited, but in letter:
which she wrote to all the presidents
and governors.
BY agreeing to establish the prece
dent of proclaming the holiday on th'
last Thursday Of each November, Lin
coin at last crowned her tireless efforts
with success, and no president ha
failed to emulate his example.

fully termed the mother of our annua

HARVEST FESTIVALS OF OLD
Greeks and Romans Had Days OF
Thanksgiving for the Fruitful
Gifts OF the Earth.

Greece, In the months of August and
September of each year, after the har-
vest had been gathered, celebrated the
great feast known as the Eleusinia or
the feast to Demeter of the beautiful
robe. Demeter. the great earth-moth-
er, was the goddess of cornfelds and
harvests. Her daughter, Persephone,
while gathering flowers one day, was
kidnapped by Pluto. Demeter searched
for her long by land and sea, and at
last learned that her lost daughter had
been married to Pluto. the dark spec
GER of the underworld, and that she
was now his queen In the realm be-
low. But Persephone had eaten
pomegranate seed and could remain
with her mother only part of the year.
This made Deneter angry, and she ieft
the gods and made her dwelling upon
the earth. She taught Celeus, king OF
Eleusis, agriculture, how to pillow, SOW
and reap. This feast was one of the
grandest Of the Greek festivals.
The Romans celebrated harvest
festival called the Cerealia. 1t took
its name from Ceres. who was the
Demeter of the Romans, and the feast
was celebrated at some time In the
month of October. Sacrifices OF the
hest fruits and honey cakes were Of
fered up In the temple. PROFESSIONS
were made to the fields by men and
women dressed In white and crowned
with oak leaves and peoples. Ceres
WAS represented In Il chariot drawn
by dragons, her head crowned with Il
garland Of corn ears, and holding a
basket of poppies in her hand. This
festival was general holiday tine
Coming down to more modern
time. we read of thanksgivings In iiol-
land and In England, the recollection
of whose "harvest homes" perhaps
inspired the Puritans to inaugurate the
custom in this country. The first
Thanksgiving on American soil, ac'
eording to the we'll credited chronicler
Edward Wlnslow, was held in 1871. !,
