boys ami girls, don't I m T I you think tlvt M4 I I many of you would think I J it a great lark to exehun,-.-plai M with t he Plymouth children of more than 17" years ao, becau.se on that very first Thanks.;! ving holiday that ever was ob- :; t cil 0:1 American Mil, there ' line to luv. n '.to In lian bravts uml their Chief Ma.vaolt. They slaved fcjr a week aa the gnosis of the whit.' men. an'l they all hunted and t i 1 I and untold together and had a general j UiflcaUon. kNMW the crops had turned out bo well. Tue first public Thanksgiving came la IfM. and on the ltd of February, the day we now celebrate as Washington's birthday. In November of the next year there was another Thanksgiving, and one year there were two, but in the next 5:5 years theie wm but one Thanksciv ing in about every two years. It did not always come in November, as it does now on a retail ar day In the month, but skipped around. cometinK's being observed in January, and sometimes tn AiiKW.it. and .sometlme3 in other months, according to to fun; - n H : mo. the times wlnn LBS colonists thought they had most tMN to be thankful for something. Sometimes it was for the full harvest, at..! . lines it was for rain nfur a tOBgi dry time that ibey fOsf fj would ruin all tae Crops In these early Than!-living days the children VH1 not thougbt of firs; and foremost as they are in a good many homes to-day. They were expected to keep in the bad ground, and the little girls had to help their mothers to keep house, and alter that was kept they had to keep right on being arias, and proper to such an extent that they didn't always have as much fun a3 their brothers. The boys used to play wicket on the commons, and football all over the place, fo that in 1C7 an ordinance was passed forlhiding the playing of football tn the streets on account of the annoyance to foot passengers. At first there were no dolls for the girls to play with, nil the funny little dolls that we SM now in muse-mis dating bad. bO the times when our remote pr at-erp Tidpftrtüta Wer little people, having ti brought over from Bo rope for the benefit of the mothers, nothe little g'-ls. l'he mothers dirtn I wish the dolll tn play with, hut for models for their 1h-: dr- an ; for the dolls, you ought to know, were dr - r,i by dressmakers and milliners In London and I'aris and sent OVt r here for fashion plates, and for many years all the dolls otir pr -at-cn r.'-crandn. others had to play With were made of racs. And pretty nl.e doll babies they made, too, you will admit. "nattledoors and shuttles." which the children ' ed to play so much, came over in 1761, and marbles got here ten years later, in October, so they must have been played In the house or else with frost-nipped fingers till spring came again. There were no blocks of houses and big cities then, but only separate and often widely-scattered homes. If a big storm came the farmers had to get out their lumbering ox wngnns just as tjiey do In the far western country today and break" the roads. Sometimes the storms were so heavy that the expected visitors couldn't get through the snow drifts, and the Thanksgiving dinner had to be eaten by the family all alone. But the family was generally a big one, and If the boys and girls Mn't have their looked-for company to p'.T with they had each other. In one Jvuily. for instance, of which we have a retard, there were r'-rht little girls, who he? beta named Experience, Wsitstlll. Prewvd. Hopestill. Wait. Thnaka, Unit utd Wtptiy, Wonder how their brother nb! ranrrf them? In those enrly davs there were no team radiator? or furnaces or stoves, and nil the fun-making on Thanksgiving day that was done Indoors had to be done In the big living mom. where the hupe, fireplace blazed ami crackled with Its great logs and pile of underbrush, and the turkey Mtttti sizzling on a spit before the fire hat burned while yen looked at It and froze your tack at the Mint time Everything considered . It's a good deal easier and Jollier to be a little hoy or girl on Tbatk'plvlng; of this year of grace. Ifflf, than It was In 1CW or for good many years after that. Don't you think to too? TnakfBlvln.

'1 hani..ivlng day, known nowhere in the United S'atc a, as a national Institution, Is of dedded modern invention lr. id' nt l.in. 'n, just 10 years agjo, wnw moved by the ereat victories of Ge: ty.-.lcirg. Vieksbnrg, and oilier points, these coming thick and fast after so many previous disasters, to designate a day in which the people of the entire nation miuht meet and render than' s to Qod. This first national Tbanktgi vitiK day was C I Lgni d to bc distinctly religious in Its chara ii r, and the intent of the prFidert was unilerstood and carried out by th- people. The churches of the titles and towns and village were filled that day witn fathers and mothers and sisters who offeiv ( irately praysrs to Ood for the victories won and for the preservation of their loved ones who moved daily Msld so S of imminent danger True. the Thanksgiving dav idea dates back of this The . and'nl or Pilgrims in Mar BCBBssttS, in llM year following their loading at Plymouth, met in ihdr church in obedience to the governor's proclamation to rettrn thanks for a generous harvest. Intermittently thereafter for many years, and then regularly each year, the day was commemorated, spreading throughout tht Now Kngiand states. It did not reaih New York state until 1821. and was regarded indifferently by many states until Lincoln gave it national standing Washington did make two Thanksgiving proclamations, but only at Vtt suggestion of the congress. Two subsequent presidents flatly declined to issue such prot lamations. insist Inn; that the silence of the constitution as to religion forbade any euch exerdse of power by the chief executive. Hence, It is within reason and right tfl say that That:' - : ;ig day. as a national festival, Irtfail in sC.), nnd was instituted by President Lincom. Bot by a maid proeeao of evolution the religious feature, that vhteh gave rise to the day, has ben diminished. In lirger cities but a limited number of chunhes Men their tfoOfl for services, while in the smaller ones a dmde house of worship will conduct what is termed "union service " for ul denominations. Ueaally tltere are many vacant pews in those churches that are opened.
