Oyr I irnt Thanksgiving Day.
Children. do you know the story
Of the tlfSt Thanksgiving day,
Ft>tti"lv<! by (,ur Pilgrim fathers
.? t lino -so fur away ?
Tin y iiud Riven for religion
U:caith. and comfort, yen, and more,
Left tnc-ii homes and friends and kin
dred
ji'or a bleak and barren shore.
On 'New Kngland's rugged headlands,
Xow where peaceful Plymouth lies,
Tht* re they built their rough log
.ibins, a
'Neath the cold, forbidding skies.
Want niul sickness, death and sorrow,
Met their eyes on every hand,
And before the springtime reached
theili,
They had buried half their band.
But tluii noble, brave endurance
was' not exercised in vain,
Summer brought them brighter pros
pects, ?
Ripening seed and waving grain.
And the patient Pilgrim mothers,
As the harvest time drew near,
hooked with happy, thankful faces,
At the full corn in the ear.*
So the governor, William Bradford,
In the gladness of his heart,
To praise God for all His mercies
Set a special day apart.
This was in the autumn, children,
Sixteen hundred twenty-one,
Scarce a year from when they landed
And the colony begun.
And now when, in late November,
Our Thanksgiving feast is spread,
Tis the same time-honored custom
Of those Pilgrims long since dead.
We shall never know the terrors
That they braved, years, years ago,
Hut for all their struggles gave us
We our gratitude can show.
And tii*.- children cf New JDnjHand.
If they feast, or praise, or pray,
.Should bless God for those brave Pil
grims ;
A lid their first Thanksgiving day.

MUST USE EGYPTIAN DESIGN
Only One Way to Mount Scara{>?, Just
Now Comlrrtfflnto Great Pop
ular Favor.
Speaking of scarabs, and the wave
of Egyptian lnlluence'brlngs the scarab
again Into prominence, Leonlde C. LaV
eron, Chicago, a recognized authority
on Jewelry design and kindred -sub Jects
In art, says :
"To mount scarabs correctly, follow
the design of the Egyptians used when
the scarab was worn by the kings
In the Valley of the Nile. Any de
parture from this design Is utterly
lacking in artistry.
Miss Laveron sketched off in pencil
the correct design. The king wore the
scarab In a ring. A gold bar passed
through the body of the scarab ending
in knobs at either end, so tne scarab
revolved on the bar. This was attached
to a ring, on the sides Hanked with
twisted gold wire. The. cartouche of the
king was on the obverse side of the
scarab. The king used the ring as a
seal. The other correct mountings, ac
cording to Miss Laveron, is the scarab
In the center of a bar pin, flanked by
wings or by the head of the sun god
or the asp. All of these motif were
used In t lie days when scarabs were
worn as a sign of rank.
Ask for Large Sum.
Something Hke $925,000 is required
to establish women's colleges at Ox
ford, and while women have been tak
ing advantage of the educational op
'portbnities offered there, no women's
colleges have yet been possible. The
London Times in an editorial calls at
tention to the fact that many of the
endowments have been made by wo
m^n and that "piety," never lacking in
the national character, should inspire
all those who have had the advantage
of such endowments to help the good
oanse of tiie "women's colleges" at Ox
ford. It Is hard times in England and
it is not easy to raise mich a large
sum, ? although The editorial asserts
that :l'n? one in theory grudges the
money* or would deny a university
education to as many women as are
worthy of It."
Harvard' university in Radcllffe col
lege has long had a woman's college

Rain-Making" Not Feasible.
Rain-making Is a futile undertaking,
according to the vseather bureau, xUnit
ed States Department of Agriculture.
To produce one Inch of rafnfatt over
an orea of an acre, approximately 113
tons of moisture would have to be
drawn up Into the air and then precipi
tated. There are 040 acres in iv square
mile, for which 72,320 tons of moisture
would be required. A square mile,
however, wouUl be scarcely a dot in
the center of any section where
drought prevails, as in Arizona or parts
of Te*as. It would be less than one
seventh of the area of the District of
Columbia.
Odd incident. ~
Just recently I went hunting. I had
only gone a little way when 1 saw a
rabbit and fired at him with my shot
gun. There was a tremendous nolso
and for a while I couldn't hear or see
a thing. Then I noticed that the gun
barrel had disappeared and I was left
holding the stock. Later I found the
gun barrel, which was bent from the
accident, lying In the weeds about ten
feet fr'Om where I had been standing.
I considered myself very lucky as I
wasn't injured in any way,? Chicago
