I felled him with my tomahawk and then sat on his body to be sure that I should not be robbed of my rights. " 'ln order to make doubly sure I took the revolver from the bolster of the dead man and stuck it in my belt. When there were no more soldiers left alive the noise ceased and the dust lifted.

Novel Invention of a Norwegian I'lcUed Ip In (lie Enitllili Channel I>.V a Tue. •A demonstration of the efficiency of a TIG el life-saving invention has taken dace iu the English channel, ca'bles the (London correspondent of the New York Herald. Abou't four miles off Folkestone, a tug sighted a strange object in the water. Upon coming nearer it was found to be a large globe. From a manhole on the top a man's head pro jected. The tug went alongside and two men emerged from the globe. They proved to be the inventor and his assistant, both Norwegians. Ac cording to their story, the globe, which is composed of aluminum, was put overfljoard from a steamer off Havre Tuesday and since that time it liad been knocking about the channel with its two occupants. The inventor claims that it satis fied all requirements and explana tions, and demonstrated its service ability for saving lives at sea. The tug towed the curious craft to Dover, where it attracted much at tention. It is about eight feet in diameter. An air shaft is provided with a water pump, sail and rudder. Its capacity is claimed to be sufficient for 16 per sons, together with s.">o pounds of food and 1,100 pounds ot water. The grate to do unall things may lie greater than the gift of doing great things. —Rain's Horn. CATARRH THIRTY YEARS.

It Wan a Time of Feast liir an A Mirth Hii flier Til an of Fli.HthiK anil Prayer—The Firwt New Eng land TliaiikMgiviiift. 11 IE first New England Thanksgiving was a Thanks giving week, rather than a though we are apt to think ————— l 0 f jt as a religious cele bration, it was really, that lirst one, a season marked by feasting and jol lity; very much as is our Thanksgiv ing of to-day. Indeed, it seems to some of us of the present that at the Thanksgiving holiday in the au tumn of 1021, the religious side was quite too little considered, instead of given undue prominence. No men tion is made of any religious services taking place that week as part of the observances. The Plymouth Pilgrims, who had toiled arduously a whole twelve month from the time of landing, knowing little of relaxation save the rest required on the Sabbath, when the harvest for 1021 was in, agreed together the time to play had come. It was decided that there should be held a period of general rejoicing and thanksgiving, and careful prep aration was made for the event. Four huntsmen were dispatched for Gov. Bradford to bring in game for the colony, and these doughty followers of the chase returned witn a day's spoils sufficient to provide the whole company for a week. The Indian neighbor, Massasoit, was invited to the festival, and came bringing with him 90 people to be entertained. The ninety and one guests remained for a visit ot three days, but they helped out the supplies by the con tribution of five deer. The red men were treated to a show of military maneuvers by their hosts; for the purpose of diversion for them, or as a way of impressing the strength of the white men upon the nativci born, history saith not. At the feasting of that week the wild turkey played an important part, and to-day we still conservatively cling to this bird as the proper occu pant of the Thanksgiving platter. When we read of the venison, and that "besides waterfoule was great store of wild turkies" for Pilgrims and Indian guests, we must think of that Thanksgiving of 281 years ngo as certainly a time of feasting rath er than of fasting'. At the first New England Thanks giving the English were outnumbered I I hi 4 fjgljgll I-IIH; Pride Goeth Before a Fall. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 190 a. by redskins, there being only 55 of the former. There were but four women and a few young' girls to take part in the celebration, or in the preparations for the celebration, li is to be hoped some of the men were skilled in getting eatables ready, oth erwise that small handful of women folk must have been grievously over worked in providing refreshment for the merrymakers. in 1(523 a drought threatened the brave Pilgrim settlers, but the need ed rain fell after a day spent by all in fasting and prayer; so the next Thanksgiving differed somewhat from the one of two years before iu that it was observed in testimony of grat itude for answer to prayer. In 1630, in February, on the day now celebrated as Washington's natal day, the first public Thanks giving was held in Boston by the Bay colony. At tbis festival thanks were offered for"the safe ar rival of food-bearing and food-bring ing ships." After that, for a period of 50 years, Thanksgiving was ob served with more or less regularity, about once every two years. There were periods, notably after a dread ful Indian massacre, when it would have been difficult to have gotten m i versal giving of thanks from the co. • onists. At first it was quite difficult to get the various localities to feel thank ful at the same time, a Rhode Island er not always being in the grateful mood at the time the Massachusetts folk were, and they did not always agree on the subjects supposed to call forth thanks; now plentiful har vests arousing gratitude in one com munity, now deliverance from Indians in another, deliverance from disease in still another. Different months were chosen for celebrating Thanks giving, August, October, December and January; but finally it became generally observed as an autumn fes tival. Thursday, as well as Novem ber, gradually became indissolubly connected with Thanksgiving; rec ords showing the holiday to have been observed now on Tuesdays, now on Wednesdays. In 1680, there is good reason to believe, Thanksgiving was kept gen erally as an annual festival. During the revolution it became a national holiday, but after the Thanksgiving for Peace in 1784 it was omitted until 1789. In that year, Washington, ac cording to advice from congress, ap pointed the last Thursday in Novem ber for national observance. The west, largely peopled by east erners, has long been devoted t<i the keeping of Thanksgiving, but it was not until 1858 that the south adopt ed the Yankee holiday. To-day it is veritably a national institution, ob served by Americans of all classes, of all localities. KATHERINE POPE. A TRULY GREAT IDEA.

A nervous, irritable mother, often on the verge of hysterics, is unfit to care for children; it ruins a child's disposition and reacts upon herself. The trouble between children and their mothers too often is due to the fact that the mother has some female weakness, and she is entirely unfit to bear the strain upon her ner res that governing a child involves; it is impossible for her to do anything calmly. She cannot help it, as her condition is due to suffering and shattered nerves caused by some derangement of the uterine system with backache, headache, and all kinds of pain, and she is on the verge of nervous prostration. When a mother finds that she cannot be calm and quiet with her children, she maybe sure that her condition needs attention, and she can not do better than to take Lydia E. Pinkliam's Vegetable Compound. This medicine will build up her system, strengthen her nerves, and enable her to calmly handle a disobedient cliild without a scene. The children will soon realize the difference, and 6eeing their mother quiet, will themselves become quiet. Mrs. May Brown, of Chicago, 111., says: " DEXK MRS. PINKHAM : 'Honor to -whom honor is due,' and you deserve both the thanks l ,onor °' the mothers of America whom you have so blessedly helped and benefited. I have used Lydia E.

I had been sick ever since my first baby was born, and at the birth of ray second, my doctor, as well as myself thought I should never live through it. After that menstruation never came regular, and when it came I suffered terribly. I also had womb and ovarian trouble. A friend of my husband's advised him to get Lydia E. Pinkliam's Vegetable Compound for me. At first I had no faith in it, but now nothing could induce me to be without it. Menstruation has become regular, and I feel like a new woman. Your medicine is a God-send to suffer ing women. I hope this letter will lead others to try Lydia E. Pink ban's Vegetable Compound. Yours truly, MRS.
