Progress of Pilgrims - To Feast Day Traced Top off your Thanksgiving dinner with Husons' Nesselrode Pudding Ice Cream. By Bruce A. Itosencrans Now there walked In the land of the righteous, which was England, in those days, a people anown as Purl tans. And they were pure. And they went out of one place even Into an other, until they were called Pil grims. And the progress of the Pil grims progressed, until their feet were sore fixed with corns. And their pro gress was known as Pilgrim's Pro gress with Bunyan. And it came to pass they became as popular with tho High Mogul of that state as RepuDltcans at one presiden tial election. And Jonathan Bull aat teth himself down upon the Pil grims, smote them with sundry chunks of law and a few yards of shsrp words. So it came to pass, when the Pil grims didst see how it was. they aldst start a pilgrimage to those piaces wherein they might worship In a more extemporaneous and unham pered manner. And they gat them selves one are of early vintage and set sail upon the face of the deep for the land of the free of the home of Indian braves. And they didst call the ark "Mayflower" because it blos somed forth early in the spring with many blooming leaks. And there were an hundred and even more aboard, and they hadst not room for chests of drawers and grandfather clocks, so didst hang them on spars 'and masts. And be cause of tempestuous seas, those clocks, didst not choose to run, even unto this day. Now in due time they reached har bor, didst drop anchor, the gang plank and those who hadst died the night before, and made way to a rock of creat size. Awl they fell down and rose up. gave tnanks and sang "Rock of Ages" and "Yankee Doodle." Then those who wert In the ark, gat them selves down upon the rock. And their beasts, tractors, motorcars, and their cows and swine and old nens ana little chickens came also. And those fnM re called Plymouth Rocks ahh unto this day. Now it came to pass that winter was amongst them. And It was com. at times thev beheld strange people, who didst havo red skins after the munner of those tribes. And the red skins wotted not why the Pilgrims were where they were, and they didst shower them with spears and arrows on tho south side of Pilgrims nieing homeward. And things were excessive ly .xasDeratlne. for tney perceiveu those tribes weiv not rltualistlcally endowed, and didst spend much time plucking arrows from out their rid ing habts. 1 Now dried apples and cod fish be- .amth low ebb. aa did money mav tcrs also. And they ate the fowl of tho air, tho fish of the sea, and tho deer, turkey and cranberry and apple sauce, that wert shot by. their mwlity hunters. And it befell others to dig .lams to sustain life until corn plant ing time, that they might raise corn enough to strengthen them to pull out the -clams In tho winter which followed, to got them through 'till the next corn crop should give them strength to dig clama again. Yea. matters were slack. For they didst subsist the first winter on clams and armed prayer, whilst they did erect log houses with broad aa In one hand and stter-guii, cuss words and their Uvea In the other. But It remained not long aa it was before. Nay, for as the colony Increas ed In size, eastern capital, sun and gentle rains caineth unto them, which all maketh for bounteous crops and abundant happiness. Now the red skins hadst beaten their tomahawks Into plowshares and no longer fit them. Cameth autumn and in their lap satteth goodness and mercy and unbounded happiness. And Smiles Standlsb. spake unto the Pilgrims In this wise, saying: "The great white Father hath been benevolent and uath bestowed great agricultural gifts upon us. Now we will show our appreciation by throw ing a party, a feast of thanksgiving. Verily the pumpkins are ripe and frost art upon thy pump handle. Thou and thy wives, maidservants. Indians and thy kids must come, dressed in thy best, and leave thy deer knives, scalping tools and shot guns parked outside." And he caused to be placed In the Plymouth Trib une, an Invitation. And he Invited the redskins also, and asked that they bury their tomahawks which those people hath. Yea, he asked them one and all to gather together on the day appointed to break bread, to eat and talk turkey. And it came to pass, the final Thursday of the eleventh moon was decreed the day. by Oovernor Brad ford, and so on even to the days of our kind. And from out the land and forests cameth the multitude, and didst gather around the board. And they were exceedingly full of Joc undity; yea they were exterlally dec orated In Puritanical best and didst become interlorally upholstered with turkey, clams, roast dog and pumpkin pie. And they voted to make it one annual classic. And It was so. Then when roast-master of the foa.it hadst partaken of the cup, which was called Thomas and Jere miah, even unto the days of Vol stead, he arose and made speech unto them saying: "Indians snd thy squaws and sll that art gathered here. we have come to give thanks unto the Oreat White Father for this bounti ful harvest, and henceforth, when this day fallcth It shall be known as Thanksgiving Day, even unto the children of thy children who follow thee. And ye shall gather together n the homes of ty loved ones, and thy mothers-in-law and cafes and soup lnes throughout tho land, and thou shall stuff thyself, until thou art full of prunes, yea, until thou buat eth with reverberating bust, the but tons from off thy colonial pants." And thus endeth the first Thanks giving Day. IAS SEAL CAMPAIGN OPENS THANKSGIVING DAY Miss Mildred Carlton, president of the Jackson county health associa tion, today announced tomorrow as official opening of the annual Christ mas seal sale for prevention and cure of tuberculosis.
