FRIENDSHIP WITH INDIANS
WINS HIM u. S. POST

owing to the fact that he. was
familiar with the Modoc Indians
mode Of warfare and because he
was also familiar with the terri,
tory over which much OF the
fighting took place.
The Chief of the Modoc tOld

the Government and rendered the
United States army valuable as
sistance in subduing the rebels.
Had the Modoc chief not remained
loyal it would have caused other
tribes to have taken sides against
the Government, and, with such g
small number of United States sol
diers and whites in the country, it
is thought such action on the part
Of the combined Indian tribes
would have resulted in totally
wiping out all the whites then In

THE first Thanksgiving proc

Il dent Of the United States
was made in 1895. Heretofore,
the day had been set apart by
Congressional fiat. The day set
for Thanksgiving was Thursday,
February 8, and the proclamation
was issued on January to give
time for its general circulation
by the slow transportation by
coaches of that day. The procla-
nation follows:
When we review the calami-
ties that aff1ict so many other
nations, the present condition
of the United States affords
much matter of consolation and
satisfaction. Our exemption hith-
erto from foreign war, an in
creasing prospect of the continu-
ance Of that exemption, the great
degree of internal tranquility by
the suppression of an insurrec-
ton, which so wantonly threaten
ed it,, the happy course of our
public affairs in general, the un-
exampled prosperity of all classes
of our citizens, are circumstances
which peculiarly mark our situa-
ton with indications of the Di-
vine beneficence toward us. In
such a state of things 1t is in an
especial manner our duty as
people, with devout reverence
and affectionate gratitude, to
acknowledge our many and great
obligations to Almighty God, and
to implore Him to continue and
confirm the blessings we expert
enced.
Deeply penetrated with the
sentiment, I, George Washing

States, do recommend to all re-
ligious societies and denomina-
tons, and to all persons, whomso-

set apart and observe Thursday,

sense OF our obligations to Him
for them: to teath us rightly to
estimate their immense value; to
preserve us from the arrogance
of prosperity and from hazarding
the advantages we enjoy by de.
