1871 had been gathered, the 'IercentenarV Oh the
Pilgrims" being observed, is also properly
the "Tercentenary of Thanksgiving"
The Pilgrims, as every good American knows,
landed at Plymouth in December. Their first
winter hard one. AT time only Brew
Ster, Standish and five other hardy ones were
well enough to get about. Hardshps, hunger
and sickness took heavy toll from the little
colony.
But in the spring and summer that followed,
their fortunes improved. and by autumn they had
cleared twenty-six acres and made it ready for
cultivation. This industry, too, had been re-
warded by a bounteous harvest. Now food and
fuel sufficient for the needs of the winter were
laid in Then Governor Bradford ordered a
Thanksgiving the first in America.
With little help from the imagination it is
easy to reconstruct the in part The his

same riot of autumn color that glorfes New
England falls today. Red, gold and bronze leaves
hung on the trees and carpeted the ground Purple
wild grapes hung from the tree-climbing vines.
Red cranberreS thick on the marshes. Blue
gentians starred TIE meadows and the uplaEds
bright with gOldenrod. Over all lay the haze
of the Indian summer and as the browning

the men to welcome the guests. They lined up
along the path leading to the government house
and cheered with the redskins. Ninety Indians
had accepted the invitation. The women rushed

were exchanging health greetings with the com

PROFIT IN COMING MONEY.

The government does not profit at
all when gold money is lost, because
it has an intrinsic value that is virtu-
ally the same as its face value. The
profit on lost silver money depends on
the cost to the government of the sill
yer that goes into the dollar. When
silver is above S12O an ounce there
is no profit. When it goes below a
dollar the profit is considerable. On
lost nickels and one-cent pieces the
percentage profit is large.

Discipline Gods.

The Polynesians have peculiar
habit in dealing with their gods. They
worship them, of course, even though
their gods are but idols which they
have placed on pedestals. But once a
year or so, when things have not been
going quite well with them, they pull
their gods down from their pedestals
and administer to them a sound
thrashing. Their theory, apparently,
is that. If their gods are well beaten,
they will be more considerate in the
future.
