Thanksgiving And Wild Game.

II is not altogether a coincidence
that Thanksgiving comes in the hunt
ing season; for whether you trace our
national festival to that simple celebra-
ton by which the Pilgrims marked the
end Of their first year in the new land
ana the beginning Of a little easier
existence. or whether you regard il as
only an inherited instinct to give
thanks for abundant havests, wild
game will be part Of the bill Of fare.
Before that first Pilgrim Thanks
giving the governor sent out four men
to shoot wild fowl, OF which they "did
take such great store" as sufficed for
the needs of the little settlement for a
week. Game was plenty-how plenty
can be judged from some Of the early
writer's. John Smith, who explored
those coasts a few years before the
Pilgrims landed, had found the natural
food resources of the region to be very
great. William Hilton, who wrote in
1922, said that "the land affords beasts
Of diverse sorts, and great hocks Of
turkeys. quail, pigeons and partridges."
Thomas Morton Of Merrymount fame,
who was keen and observing sports
man, and who lived only a little way
from what is now Boston, said that
there were "fowls in abundance, fish
IN y,,,,ItifniAe opI t,rtIaHnuae ~, nil
lions," and that a thousand turkeys
had been seen near his house in a
single day. John Josselyn, an English
man who visited the country in 1888,
reports that he had seen threescore
broods Of young wild turkeys in a
morning walk; and William Wood,
who lived near the present city Of
Lynn, said in 1884 that a man could
easily kill half a dozen wild turkeys
in morning-that, be it remembered
with the almost unbelievably inef-
fective firearms of the day. Even as
late as l735, turkeys sold in North
ampton, Massachusetts,, for two cents
a pound. and in I'LL in Hartford, Con-
necticut, a shilling would buy a TWEEN
ty-pound gobler. The great aux nest
ed as far south as Massachusetts Bay
and on islands off Newfoundland had
been slaughtered by millions to fur
nish food for the fishermen who had
their summer settlements on Damaris-
cove Island long before any white
foot touched Plymouth Rock. Great
flocks of swan whitened the waters of
all the bays along the coast, and geese
lay in masses that were we'll named
"rafts." Wild pigeons, in spring and
fall, darkened the sky and settled on
trees in such numbers that they broke
the branches. The mornings were
murmurous with the talking" of the
ducks and the days musical with the
piping of shore birds.
But the last great aux was killed
early in the nineteenth century, the
last wild turkey in Massachusetts, was
taken on Mount Tom in 1852, and for
years there stood, with no claimants,
a prize of two thousand dollars for any
proof that there is one living passenger
pigeon anywhere in the world.
AS we enjoy Thanksgiving and the
hunting season, let US be a little
mindful of our ancestors mistakes as
we'll as of their manifold virtues, and
by moderation and restraint do our bit
to keep the day of feasting and prayer
from becoming a day of fasting and
contribution.

NEW INSURGENT
NINE UNION MAY
GROW IN KANSAS
Split of Organization May Be
Caused by Action Of
John L. Lewis.
ORDERS FUNDS SEIZED

PTTTSBURG, Kan, Oct. ia split
in the ranks of the United Mine Workers
was apparent today with the suspension
of Alexander Howat, imprisoned presi-
dent of District IA, and appointment of
George Peck and Thomas Harvey, anti.
Howat leaders. to take charge OF the
district.
Peck was named by President John
L. Lewis to act as president Of the dis.
trict, Harvey to handle all finances.
John Fleming, director of the district
board, who was left in charge by Howat
when Howat and August Dorchy, vice
president, were remanded to jail for vio-
latiOn of the Kansas Industrial court law,
refused to turn his desk or finances over
to the Lewis appointees.
With practically all the 1900 miners
who STRUCK when Howat was sent to
Jail, still idle, plans were declared by
HOwat leaders to be afoot TO offer the
leadership of the Kansas district to
Frank Harrington. Of Illinois, also OPP
posed to the Lewis conservative element.
This, in effect, it was declared, may be
the first step in forming a national insur-
gents miners union. Harrington, given
the leadership of the Kansas union az
well as that of Illinois which he now has,
could precipitate the greatest split that
has ever occurred in the miners ranks, 1t

COLLINS ANGRY
AS IRISH PEACE
FARLEY CLOSES

He Says, but Griffith
Says We Are.'
BRITISH ARE WORRIED

LONDON, Oct 13.-The greatest crisis
of the Irish peace situation was reached
this afternoon when the peace conference
suddenly adjourned and Michael Collins
the outstanding figure Of the Sim Fein
delegation, threatened to withdraw.
The crisis had been precipitated by
Premier Lloyd George who asked the
Sim Fein delegates whether they would
consent to a continuation Of the delibera-
lions upon the basis Of Ireland remain
ing a part of the British empire.
Upon the Sim Fein's answer depends
whether or not the parley would con-
tinue.
When adjournment was taken shortly
after 1 o'clock, Collins apparently was
angry.
VIII the parley contlnue?" he wa.
asked.
'We are not coming back" snapped
the commander in chief Of the Irish Re-
publican army.
Before he could say any more, Arthur
Griffith, head Of the Sim Fein delega-
ton. broke in:
We'll, we are coming back at IL O'Clock
tomorrow morning."
The gravity Of the new DEVELOPMENTS
was written plainly on the faces of the
British ENJOYS when they left the pre-
mier's residence. They looked worried
and anxious.
The next session was set for tomorrow
morning at IL o'clock.
Shortly after o'clock. adjournment
was taken until II o'clock Friday morn
ing.
Sir Nevil MacReady. commander OF the
British military forces In Ireland. has
promised better treatment Of the Irish
prisoners in British detention camps, but

cisiOn was forecast on Wednesday when

lease OF the Irish prisoners.
