T FIRST THANKSGIVING OBSERVED I
4 ON SHIPBOARD IN YEAR 1629
From the beginning, with but few
exceptions, Thanksgivings have been
kept in the late autumn, owing to the
harvest time, of course, and more fre
quently toward the end of November.
No one knows how the custom of
appointing Thursday originated, but
some light is doubtless thrown on the
subject by a controversy over a pro
posal to change the day of the week,
about 1690, when the dissenters ar
gued that Thursday was preferable,
because of the Thursday lectures, or
midweek religious services, that took
place every week in communities of
considerable size, a joint observance
of the two days rendering it unneces
sary, of course, for many to sacrifice
a day's labor, especially for Thanks
giving. Although the pilgrims were the first
to observe Thanksgiving on this con
tinent, the Salem colonists, on their
voyage over here in 1029, observed
Thanksgiving on shipboard, in which
everybody, passengers, captain and
crew, took part, as an acknowledg
ment of a fa'vorable breeze that had
followed a preceding day of fasting
and prayer.
Winthrop colony, in 16o0, also ob
served a Thanksgiving, apparently en
tirely without any inspiration from
the pilgrims, but in accordance with
their former custom in England, the
motive in this case having been grat
itude for the safe arrival of their fleet
at Charlestown. where purely relig
ious services were held beneath a
tree, for it was in hot weather, July S.
The Winthrop colony's second
Thanksgiving here, which is common
ly spoken of by historians as their
first, was about eight months later,
Feb. 22. when having moved over to
the peninsula of Shawmut and taken
up their abode in log houses, huts,
hovels and even holes in the side of
Beacon hill, their number sadly de
pleted by diseases caused by putrified
food, and even absolute starvation,
the arrival of their fellow townsman,
Capt. William Peirce. with a shipload
of provisions from Ireland, and, best
of all. "good store of lemon juice" to
arrest the ravages of the scurvy, fur
nished them with good cause for de
vout thanksgiving and gastronomic
dissipation as well.
The colony probably comprised 200
or less, no church had yet been built,
and it is doubtful if there was any
public religious observance of the
day. Neither can the bill of fare of
any of the households have been
sumptuous, according to our ideas,
fudged by the record of the ship's car
go, which shows that the best the
Boston cuisine could have then af
forded was corned beef or boiled salt
park, oatmeal or wheatmeal mush,
without milk or sirup, and ship's bis
cuit with cheese.
Yet who shall say it was not deem
ed a rich feast, when we learn from
one who participated in it that a re
past consisting of "meal, water and a
little salt, boiled together, was so
good that none could ask for a better
neal."
Digestion was facilitated by co
pious drafts of ale, if it could be had.

The household environment of

as rude and as simple ab their hill of

Household furniture there 'vas
practically none, save a table of rough
hoards, or planks, and enough t-rec-legsred
.stools to cccoinmodate the
members of the family. There were
tablecloths of very coai se linen, but

having been spent in church, divided
between forenoon and afternoon. It
is evident that in those days the din

or affair. It was not till 1721 that
tiie afternoon service was abolished,
against vigorous protects, from some
of the church members, although the
change was brought about b fear of
the smallpox, then prevalent in the
town.
A third Thanksgiving was observed
in the Massachusetts colony Nov. 11,
1C31, to express the popular joy at

have been the bill of fare of the av
erage Boston family on that day, one
family, at least, must have enjoyed a
bountiful and variegated dinner, for
the country people who poured into
Boston on the arrival of the ship, a
tew days before Thanksgiving, over
whelmed the governor and his wife
with gifts of fat hogs, kids, poultry,
venison and other kinds of game.
During the succeeding fitty years
there appear to have been Thanksgiv
ings averaging about once in two
years, and appointed to mark some
specific and lemarkable event, as a
victory in the Indian wars, or a hap
py solution of some troublesome prob
lem, either religious or political. Dur
ing all those years, and for many af
terwaid. fast days were even more
numerous than Thanksgivings, be
cause the trials ot the Puritans far
exceeded their blessings.
In some instances there were ser
ious differences between the general
court, which then appointed Thanks
givings, the magistrates and the min
isters for the latter always advised
in the matter as to which was prop
er for the occasion, a thanksgiving or
a fast. It is to be noted that the
custom of appointing a Thanksgiving
simply as an annual custom, and with
out regard to any specific or impor
tant occasion was almost unknown
until well into the last century and
was never habitual till within the last
thirty years.
Indeed, the theory was advanced
more than 200 years ago that a too
frequent observance of Thanksgiving,
and for insufficient cause, tended to
make men "too carnal-minded."
A printed proclamation of that
Thinksgiving. the earliest broadside
of its kind known to be in existence
now. is in the library of the Massa
chusetts historical society, and a re
duced facsimile is given with this ar
ticle. The general tone of the compo
sition reminds one of another Thanks
giving, some years later, which was
observed only in Boston, for the pur
pose of thanking heaven for sparing
Boston, while Charlestown. across the
river, was thieatened with depopula
tion by the yellow fever.
A Borton manu of this period, which
is in st: .king contrast with the early
dinner of corned beef and mush,
enumerates roast beef, turkey pie,
boiled pork, fowls and tarts.
Plymc nth. which was not yet united
to the Massachusetts colony, had its
Thanksgiving that year Aug. 17. five
days at'T the killing of King Philip
in Rhoi'c Island, and it so happened
that Major Church and his little band
of heroe arrived in Plymouth just at
the close of the Thanksgiving fore
noon sc vice, bringing the great
chief's head, which was borne by the
major's Indian guide, who had him
self shot Philip.
Not Always in November.
In the early history of the Massa
chusetts colony Thanksgiving was
usually appointed each year. Usual
ly, the day came in the autumn not
alvays in Not ember, but sometimes
in October, and sometimes December.

HermanDitweiler performed a hero
ic act recently at the imminent
isk of his life. He was coming to
town with a heavy load of rock when
he overtook a little girl carrying a
basket of eggs to market, and invited
her to ride the rest of the way with
him. -
When he reached the top of the
(ong.steep hill leading down into tow n,
he locked one of the wagon wheels
in order to make the descent safelv.
but had only gone a very few feet
when one of the horses stepped on a
rolling stone and was taken suddenly
very lame.
He got off the load, unhitched the
team and requested another farmer
who was just behind him to put in his
team and take the load down the hill.
The other farmer was about to com
ply and Mr. Dwitweiler had lifted up
the tongue of the wagon to prepare
for hitching in the other team, when
the lock chain suddenly broke and
the loaded wagon started down the
hill, with the little girl still riding in
the seat.
Ditweiler braced back on the
tongue, but was unable to stop the
vagon, which, gathering headway
every moment, was soon flying down
the steep hill like a runaway engine.
' Ditweiler knew that if he dropped
the tongue the wagon would be tipped
Real Wealth
It is estimated, says, the Army and
Navy Journal, that Japan has put
forth 25 per cent of her strength thus
far in the contest with Russia, while
the drain on he resources of Russia
is less than 2 per cent. This is only
a single factor, however, in the com
plex problem of military success,
which does not always respond to the
conclusions or the multiplication ta
ble. The politico-economists and the
pseudo-philanthropists may manipu
late the figures as they please, the
fact cannot he made to accord with
their theory that war is necessarily
exhausting to national strength. Pre
cisely the contrary was shown in the
case of our great war. Material re
sources may assume new forms of
distribution in time of war, but this
is not necessarily waste. It is the in
dustries created by industry which
are the foundation of the business of
a community through which its indi
vidual members procure their means
of living. If all those who have the
power of purchasing should cease for
a single year to buy to make good
their wastage, universal poverty and

the Southern railway (of Italy) has
recently added to its equipment some
four-cylinder compounds of this type.
They are of the ten-wheel class, with

speed with every second, flew like an

pieces beneath the wheels of the
wagon.
The hill Is 800 feet long. and. after
the bottom was reached, the wagon
