vout Puritan spirit of the travellers In
the Mayilower felt that there was
sufficient cause for thanking God.
The First Thanksgiving.
And so 1t was that the first day Of
organized thanksgiving was set. The
whole little colony, in Its best buckled
shoes and high hats, with blunder-
buses across square shoulders, sailed
forth from the stockaded homes
through snow to the log church, there
to give community thanks for the free
dom of their stern Hives.
Outside, the Indians crouched be-
hind the frs and beeches. watching
and wondering.
From the Pilgrim colony. the custom
spread to others In the New England
states. In 1880 the Massachusetts Bay
colony set aside q day for thanksgiv-
Ing. and frequently thereafter. until
1880, when It became an annual festi-
val In the colony.
Connecticut appointed a day In
1889. and annually after 1647. except
In 1875. The Dutch in New Neither
lands set aside day in 1914 and oc-
casIonally thereafter. During the War
Of Independence the Continental con-
gress appointed one or more thanks
giving days each year, except In 1777.
President Washington set aside Thurs
day. Nov. 20, 1889. as a day OF ma
tional thanks. and again In 1795 he
called the country together for such
"a celebration. President Madison, at
the close Of the War Of 1872. appointed
q day.
In New York state. from 1917 on.
the festival was annual.
In some OF the southern states q ma
tional Thanksgiving day met with OPP
position as a relic Of Puritanic bIgotry,
so utterly at variance with the Cav
alier Ideals Of the southern colonists;
but by 1858 proclamatIons were issued
by the governors Of IS states and two
territories.
10 New England Festival.
Perhaps II Is natural that the South,
so far In thought and experience from
the colonizers Of New England. should,
even YET. be less whoIe-hearted In Its
celebration of Thanksgiving than is
the eastern section Of the United
States. With its commemoration Of

Woman BareS Secret OF Youth
On 68th Birthday Anniversary
Was UnionArn1y Drummer Boy

For 5s years Mrs. Anna Glud. Of
Oakland. Calf, has nursed a ro-
mantle secret.
|. And then. on her 6sth birthday
with a family group about her. the
white haired old lady revealed the
amazing story OF how. at the out
break OF the Civil war. she had cut
her hair. doRned the uniform OF
Union fighter and gone 10 the war
as Tom Hunley a drummer boy.
That she had not previously barred
her secret was due partially to the
fact that her family had been divided
on the war issues and she waited
for time TO heal the wounds; par
TALLY because OF a somewhat natural
reluctance.
But she did not wish the secret to
go 10 the grave with her and so the
story OF Tom Hunley came 10 light
Two persons had known her secret
Jeremiah Hunley, her father. and
Gen. Grant, in whose charge her
father had placed her.
The Hunley's lived in a border"
state. Two Sons went with the
Union forces and two with the Con-
federate. Then the father was
called.
Father Cuts Hair.
The prospect of leaving his little
girl among strangers, unprotected
and uncared for. was too much. so
he dressed her in the uniform of
drummer boy. cut off her hair, told
her 10 always remember her name
was Tom" and Joined the regi-
ment.
Tor two years tom" Hunley and
his father served with the Union
forces in the bloodiest battles OF the
Civil war. Never once was the
identity OF the little drummer boy"
suspected. There came a day. how
ever. when Jeremiah was forced TO
reveal the secret OF his daughters
masquerade. Gen. Grant inspected
the regiment and seeing the diminu-
tive drummer boy" decided "he"
was too young for active service. and
ordered him" mustered out. There
upon Jeremiah told him the story
Of the motherless little girl. The
general swore himself 10 secrecy and
ordered "Tom" Hunley's retention in
the service.
Reminiscing. the former "Tom"
Hunley said: During all that time,
though many remarked that 1 looked
more like agirl than a boy. not one
soldier discovered that 1 was a
girl. Father and I kept together so
constantly that 7 was ALWAYS Dro-

reference to Katie, for my mouth
flew wide open iE my amazement,
and I gazed at her wide-eyed. That

Dicky, however. was not so pru-
dent. He evidently took every you"

and you agreed TO st."

but by a we'll timed signal behind

to forestall his mention Of the state
I had mastered my astonishment
and was anxious. for the sake of
peace, TO keep my impetuous hus-
band from recalling to his mothers
mind that il was her objection 10
having Katie accompany us south
which had led TO my planning a va
cation for my faithful little maid
during our absence. That neither
he nor any one else could ever con-
vince her OF that fact 1 saw from
the patent honesty with which she
had made the statement concerning
Katie She actually believed that
she had advised me TO bring Katie
with me, and that l had rejected
her counsel.
SO I repeated my signal OF silence
to Dicky. and had hard work TO
keep from laughing at his puzzled
frown as he obeyed me. Fortunately
his mother didn't notice his sudden
silence. She was evidently full Of
some subject which she wished to
discuss with me.

the name OF any stranger the word
that" but IL is her invariable hab-
*. and : smiled involuntarily al the
familiar Introduction.

commented. but 1 interrupted him

Revelations of a Wife
My Heart and My Husband
By Adele Garrison


You'll both weep for my COM
pany when I bestow it upon you
again." Dicky declared loftily, max
ing for the door. But the face he
turned toward me from the thres-
hold was distinctly approving, and
1 knew that he was grateful 10 me
for giving him the opportunity 10
escape the possibility Of his moth
er's wrath.
Richard has been getting abso-

ternal parent remarked as the door
closed after him. Il think as the
influence of that Grantland on him.
He never used to act this way"
choked down an amazed giggle
which would have mortally offended
my august mother-in-law. But the
idea OF stern, silent, almost un-
sociable Hugh Grantland, whom
Dicky cordially disliked, influencing
him TO silly. teasing conversation
was almost too much for my risibles.
But I didn't come in 10 talk
about Richard" Mother Graham
went on. Il just wanted to tell you
that Mrs Lukens came over this
morning and said that until you
got we'll she would let Us have
Mandy 10 help US out" 1t seems
there is just herself for meals in
that big house-she has some people
rooming with her. but they go OUT
to their meals-so Mandy has very
little TO do. I rather fancy Mrs Lu-
kens is-a thrifty sort Of person, and
would just as soon get rid OF
Mandy's expense for a little while If
We want 10 keep her. Of course,
she'd have her back when we left.
I told her we'd be very glad TO have

at my own quick recovery from the
absolute nervous exhaustion which
had prostrated me on the train. But
the opportunity 10 rest undisturbed,
which the car-dra awing room had
offOrded me. and the wonderful air
which had enveloped me during my
dreamless sleep IN Mrs. Lukens
sleeping porch had worked wonders
with me-

Feet Red With Blood.
"Why, in a battle near Davisville,
when 1000 confederates and north
erners were killed. out little body of
men literally had to climb over the
bodies Of dead soldiers in order TO
fight our way out. My little feet
were red with blood. And when we

The war over, Jeremiah and

too much for the father and in six
months time he followed his wife and
four sons into the beyond, leaving
his little girl, now re-attired in the
