The surrounding woods yielded the house wives wild fruit, and the waters sup plied fish and clams. No room or home In the colony was large enucgh. The children gathered wocd fires were built out-of-doors. The house wives united their efforts. They boiled, and baked pastries, corn-bred, and puddings in kettles. Wild turkeys, geese, ducks, and vension were hung on poles and rcasted over open beds o f coals. Clam chowder was made hissing hot for the first course. Tables were set under the pine trees. What was lacking by the way of plates was maed up by wooden trenches. I f they did not have silver spoons they had wooden cnes. There were knives enough. A ll sorts counted, and forks they did without. The children ate by themselves or waited for second table. W hat with preaching, feast ing, talking and games, the exercises lasted three days. F ifty-five English- speaking people were present. Sick ness had told heavily cn the colony. Over forty of their band lay under the sod. O f the fifty-five mentioned there were but four women. These, with the young girls and one ser vant, prepared for all that large company and the ninety Indians besides. So keeping the first Thanksgiving Day in mind, let’s all try to find scmething to be thankful for this Thanksgiving Day and show this thankfulness by some act or at least thoght. —N. H.
