Show rMTTTi (30 THANKSGIVING DAY First Thanksgiving dates bairk to those sad old times when the Pilgrims sought liberty of conscience on the shores of New England. Altera long and perilous voyage across the stormy sea, the little band of one hundred Pilgrims landed on the snow covered shores of ..Massachusetts. After contemplating the prospect before them, they decided to settle on the place where Plymouth now stands. They tirst built rude huts from the trees of the foiest, and thought they could get along pretty well until at least they could do better, hut the lack of warm clothing and houses soon Tlii brought on a terrible sickness, and half of the people died the lirst year. Their crops failed, the weather was bitter cold and famine stared them in the face. Strong men staggered from want of food, and at one time each person was allowed only live kernels of corn for a meal. At last Gov. Winthrop resolved to send to England for help, and as he could find no man strong enough to manage the voyage he went himself, taking ith him a few of the strongest. While they were gone the people were reduced to nearly one fourth theiroriginal number. Thev waited and watched dav by day for the expected ship. At las' a day of fasting was proclaimed, and all that was left of them gathered in the little church to commend their souls to God. As the services were about to begin, the ship that had been so long expected was seen in tbe distance, and immediatly the day was turned into onj of feasting and thanksgiving. The good things were brought from the ship and a feast made readv, besides the little colonv, Massasoit, a frieudlv Indian and his ninety warriors sat down to it. The ship's provisions were enough to last, them until the next spring when their crops were good and they were hungry no more. Thanksgiving is a legal holiday in the I'niled States on which all people join in returning thanks to Almighty God, for the blessings of the vear. All states do not join the national government in the thanksgiving. Some states in the south and west though recognizing the day in spirit, set apart some other day than that designated by the presidential proclamation. Xo Thanksgiving dinner is complete , .
