Vila ronreislon of Appearing KIU, a
Sioux Warrior, (lean Ip .llytlfrf
of nany Yrur«.
! Gen. Custer was slain 'by a Sioux
warrior by the name of Appearing
Elk, according' to lie v. Philip Daloria,
of Flora, S. '!)., formerly a Sioux
chief, but now a minister, llev. Mr.
Daloria jjives the solution of the Lit
tle Big (Horn mystery of 1876 in the
words of Custer's slayer himself. Ap
jpearing Flic died last spring after
havingtold his story to the minister:
"I have 'been the means of convert
ing an old warrior named Appearing
Elk whi was in the light, at Little Big
Horn i | which Gen. George A. t uster
fell," slid Mr. Daloria 1-lie other day.
"Appearing Elk gave the following
nccount of the massacre: 'We had
surrounded the last cluster of sol
diers. I discovered that I myself was
wounded. "Suddenly a man in blue
loomed up in front oi me. I knew
that he was a chief, but I did not
know \vho he was. lie was swaying
like a drunken man from exhaustion
and loss of blood from many bullet
nnd arrow wounds. 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. I was still sitting on the
body. I didn't scalp the man. After
ward I learned he was the chief of
the white men.' "
LIFE-SAVING GLOBE.
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.

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

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.

"Gentlemen," says the spokesman,

that in recent years, despite our efforts
to wound maim and kdl, the sport has
dwindled in public favor. No doubt this
is because of the increase in the number
of wars, and the familiarity of the public
with injuries from that cause; also be
cause of the growth of the automobile

Umiiuu, Mum.
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. Pinkliam's Vegetable Com
d pound when I would feel run-down, nervous
arK * irritable, or have any of the aches and pains
i which but few women escape, and I have found
that it relieved me at once and gave me new
r strength. Several ladies, members of our Lit
_ i \ erary Union, speak in the highest praise of your
Bslkykgsgi Cy Vegetable Compound, as they have been cured
BSjlsSfr ' Y. from serious female troubles. One lady,
Wf&gS&r who thought she must submit to an opera
tion, was cured without using anything in

How Mrs. Pinkham Helped Mrs. McKinny.
" DKAU MRS. PIN'KIIAM : I feel it my duty to write and let you know the
good you and your Vegetable Compound are doing. 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. MILDRED MCKINNY, 28 Pearl
St., San Francisco, Cal." (March 16, 1901).
