10 DAY OF THE PILGRIMS They Landed Among Cornfields and Rnnning: Brooks. THEIR HARDSHIPS EXAGGERATED Jadp Swan Traces Thanksgiving Back to the Old Harvest Feast of New England. In the Post-Ijctklligescer of December 18, is an account of Forefathers' day, which was commorated by the Puget Sound Congregational Club on the 17th instant as the 270 th anniversary of the landing of the Pilgrims at Plymouth. I have always understood from my childhood, as has every other Massachusetts man, that the Forefathers' day is on the 22d day of December, and that the anniversary of the battle of Bunker Hill is on the 17th of June, both anniversaries being peculiar to and religiously observed as peculiary Massachusetts holidays, I think, perhaps, that the Congregational Club have somehow got these two dates transposed. In order to prove my position I will quote trom Elliott's "New England History," published by Charles Scribner, 1857, chapter VI, page 64, on "The Landing, which savs "Forefathers' day" is the 11th of December, 1620 (old style).

22d December (new style). "On Monday," says the old chronicler, "we sounded the harbor and found it a very good harbor for our shipping; we marched also into the land and found divers cornfields and little running brooks, a place very good for situation, so we returned to our ship again with good news to the rest of our people, which did much to comfort their hearts." This Monday is what we now know as Forefathers' day. It is hallowed time, and the ground they trod is holy ground. Forefathers' Rock, on which the Pilgrims landed, is now enclosed with a wharf. The upper part of it was drawn to the public square of Plymouth, on the 4th of July, 1834, and was removed to Plymouth hall, where It now rests.

The student of history may well afford to remember the day and mark the spot where the Pilgrims landed. On the wild shore of a continent they planted the small seed of a new idea and a new empire the idea of individual liberty, and an empire in which neither force nor fraud rule, as in the old world, but where the individual is supreme and every man a sovereign. The extent and duration of that kingdom no man can yet measure, nor can altogether foresee its dangers. We are accustomed to listen to recitals of the terrible sufferings and grievous hardships of thofce old Pilgrims, but I think tates of the early pioneers to this state, whether they crossed the plains or came around Cape Horn, could recount more of suffering, more privations and hardships than they endured. Here is their own account of the Plymouth landing: "This harbor," they said, "is a bay greater than Cape Cod.

compassed with goodly land, and in the bay two line islands uninhabited, wherein are nothing but woods, Joaks, pines, walnuts, beech, sassafras, vines and other trees which we know not. This bay is a most hopeful place, innumerable store of fowl and excellent food; and of fish in their seasons, skate, cod, turbot and herring, abundance of mussels, the greatest and best we ever saw; crabs and lobsters iu their time, infinite. It is fashioned like a sickle or iish hook. The land for the crust of the earth is a spit's depth, excellent black mold, and fat in some places, and many others that we know not. Many kinds of herbs we found here in the winter, as strawberry leaves innnmerable, sorrel, yarrow, carval, brook lime, liverwort, water-cress, great stores of leeks and onions (Callium Canadense) and an excellent strong kind of flax and hemp, and the best water we ever drank." They had determined to look for the good rather than the evil of their new portion, and they found it.

and life was thus made easier. The Pilgrims had put into Cape Cod harbor and sent a boat with a party to look for a better place, as Cape Cod was a barren sand beach. The boat made their first landing on the 11th of December (U. N. and the ship arrived in the harbor on the 16th (27th N.

On the 25th of December (O. (sth of January, N. they began to build the first house. While their ship, the Mayflower, was at anchor in Cape Cod bay before a landing had been made at Plymouth, the celebrated "compact" was made. There had muttcrings been heard from sonie of the smaller grains of this "choice seed" before it left the Maytlower.

Some of the more ignorant souls said: "It is all very well, but when we get ashore there is plentv of room and one man will be as good as another. and if we have no voice in ordinary matters we can step out into the wood's and order things to suit ourselves." Such was the talk which reached the ears of the leading men. Bradford, Hrewster and Carver wen not only men of justice but men of sense, and they saw that to deny these men, though they were "servants." a voice in directing their own common affairs would be not only unjust but unwise. They foresaw the evils and dangers of divisions to the infant colony, and they decided to anticipate them; not to wait, as most men do, till the people, stung to madness, rush into mischief. i he whole body of the settlers as therefore convened in the cabin of the Mayflower as she lay within Cape Cod.

were serious, wondering what was now to lie done, for tt was evident that in taking this second great stepsomeimportant plan was atoot. Slowly and clearly the following simple compact was then read: It: the name of God. Amen We, whoso names are underwritten, the loyal subjects of our dread James, by the trace of God. ete having undertaken for the glory of and the advancement of the Christian faith, and honor of our king and couutry, a voyage to piaut the tirst colony to the northern parts of irv.nia. do by these prevents solemnly and mutually in the presence of God and of one another, covenant and combine ourselves into a civil body politic for our better ordering aud preservation and furtherance of the ends aforesaid: and by virtue hereof to enact, constitute aud frame such just and equal laws.ordinance*, constitutions, and offices.

Each man was asked to sign this instrument, and thus, by granting to each his just right, ail ground for dissension and revolution was removed.

The compact wis signed by fortv-one men. who. with their families, constituted the "10-J the proper democracy," that arrived in New England. "This." says a historian, "was the birth of popular constitutional liberty." This was the birth of individual liberty." of democracy, and thus were organized the rights of man Each man. master and servant, thenceforward was recognized as a man.

his voice counted as one! The time had come in the history of the world when, in a civilized, organized community, at Plymouth, on the Massachusetts shore! this recognition of individual liberty was to a right, a right which may which may occasion temporary but which must be asserted, and maintained and admitted and established before a true communal life is possible, one which works together for the good of the individual. and therefore of the community, which neither seeks nor allows superior to king. or priest or aristocracy, but only the elevation and perfection of man whatever may be condition or birth. In the cabin of the Mayflower we have presented to us one of those small but significant events, which iniiuence the destiny of man through all succeeding tory. When this compact was signed, serving slave class, were accepted as equals in politicalrights.

Circumstances forced the superiors to what may have seemed to them an unwise admission. The men of birth and education among the Pilgrims did not.intend a democracy. They hud no faith in it; and the social distinction between 'Mr." and "Goodman" continued long after the civil had been ground to dust by the dynamic force of their unrecognized and undeveloped principles of religious right and duty. But tne act was done and could not be undone. The light from heaven was forced in upon men and they saw.

With rights come duties, and the rights once admitted nud assumed, the duties must be done. Their government was of the utmost it was nothing, for each man was free and his own governor. There was room for self-development and everyone naturally gravitated to his own place. This, then, is the brief history of torefathers' day. The small seed dropped at Plymouth has grown into a noble tree, and the oppressed and fugitive from other lands nnds shelter under its branches.

La us Deo. The Sabbath was a great and holy day to these Pilgrims, and more especially God's time than Monday and other days. The reverence of the Sabbath was so intense that not even physical suffering or their greatest necessities could induce them to sacriuce its observance. The Sabbath was their only holy day until Thanksgiving came to be the annual festival. There has so much said and written about Thanksgiving, with so little knowledge of the small and accidental origin of this institution, this strictly New England institution, that I think a brief recital will be beiittingthe close of this article on Forefathers' day.

In 1623, more than two centuries and a half ago, Winslow, writing to England, mentions that after the gathering of the harvest, Governor Bradford, of Plymouth colony, sent out a company for game, that they might furnish themselves more dainty and abundant materials for a feast, and rejoice together after they had gathered the fruits of their labors. So they got their game, and they cooked it and they ate of it. and they feasted Massasoit ana ninety of his Indians, and they thanked God with all their hearts for the good world and the good things in it. So they kept their tirst Thanksgiving. This waskept up regularly every year afterward.

Governor Bradford, writing of Thanksgiving day in 1640, twenty-three years after its tirst establishment, said: Nor has there been any general want of food among us since to this day." The children of New England, wherever they are, reverence the great Thursday, the Thanksgiving of the year. It is a proper thing for these children of New Kneiand to do. Pleasant memories of childhood and youth are clustered round the annual November time, and by a kind of magic the past is made present. Tne gradual spread of New England ideas over the whole American nationhas spread this idea of an annual harvest feast, till now it has become a recognized national institution, this great Thanksgiving. After harvest, the governor of the state issued his proclamation for a day of thanksgiving and praise, and every spring, at seed time, was a day set for fasting, humiliation and prayer, and each day was religiously kept by those early Pilgrims.

The government of Plymouth colony was a religious democracy. Its doctrines and practices were the outcome of the time, and were decided upon or discarded by the vote of the members as men. In theory, the majority ruled in the Plymouth church. It is a noticeable theory in the history of man, and has had its influence in New England both in church and state. The day had come when a few brave men could take this step in the advance toward freedom, and not lie swallowed up and lost.

The day had come when democracy was possible in the church, foretelling its coming in the state, a day yet certain to be when the state shall assimilate to the church, and the true religious spirit, pervading all men of all classes, may leaven even politicians, when church and state shall oe as one. Not us the conqueror comes They, the true-hearted, came: Not with the roll of the stirring drum And the trumpet that siugs of fame; Not the flying come, In silence and in fear: They shook the depth of the desert gloom With their hymns of lofty cheer. Ay. call it holy ground. The soil where first thev trod.

They have left unstained what there they found. Freedom to worship God. Jamks G. Swan. Port Townseud.

December 22, 1890, "Forelathers' Day." THE BAWX OK CHRISTMAS DAY. The winds are dead, and ah! how still! The stars are large: a silver blade Yon homeward sailing moon has made Upon the sombre, wooded hill. The towering tir trees breathe a prayer, And lo! each white star hides away Behind a fallen robe of gray. And bin! notes thrill the morning air. An overflowing etip of wine Is slowly lifting in the east.

Awake, oh. man! to beauty's feast, The glory of the sky is thine. And now from peaks that flash and gleam The gorgeous light of dawn ig hurled Across the rugged western world, And dreauches hill and vale and stream. Oh, hallowed day when rhrist was bora, Bring sweetest peace to every one; From laud of snow to land of snn Let love prevail on Christmas morn. Keith ford.

by S. P. Christmas eve, and 110 gleam of joy in it in the Stanwood household. Mr. Stanwood and his golden haired 4- year-old boy Teddy were seated before an open tire in the library.

The father's face bore lines of care and anxiety. The child's prattle was hushed bv the saddened appearance of the father. Mr. Stanwood was thinking back over the live happy years of his married life; how he had 011 that evening live years before wedded a true, loving wife; how one year later little Teddy had come as a gift of Christmas eve. The live years of happiness seemed now a blot, for, 'ying upstairs, stricken by a strange illness, his wife was at the point of death, and all that he could do was to sit, powerless, awaiting the tinal summons.

Teddy was anxiously looking for the of Santa Claus, and had plied his father with numberless questions about his arrival, but finally became quieted by his father's sad answers. Outside the house it was a typical Bos- ton Christmas eve. The syjaw was falling, tossed hither and thither by the wind. The little park, about which the bouses of IJrompton square clustered, was a soft sheet of white, and the street lamps shone on street and sidewalks covered with a tieecv mantle of snow. From nearly every house in the square bright lights shone out, and sounds of happy laughter, mingled with music, were heard.

Evidently Brompton square was enjoying its Christmas eve festival to the fullest extent. At least so it struck a very happy looking man as he turned the corner into the square. "Bless me," he said, "this looks like an old-time Christmas eve; but I guess I could get along with a little less snow and cold." He chuckled to himself over this sally, pulled the eolllar of his heavy overcoat clear up about his ears, and struggled on, against the wind and snow, up the street. Just about tne time the gentleman turned into the square little Teddy had again renewed his questions about Santa Claus. "When will Santa Claus come, papa'" he asked.

"In little while, my son." replied Mr. Stan wood. "And will he bring me a sled, and mamma a present, and vou one?" he asked. "Perhaps, my boy. But I'm afraid he cannot bring mamma nor me any present this time, Teddy," answered Sir.

Stanwood. tears gathering in his eyes as he spoke. Why, papa?" asked Teddy. "Because, my son, mamma is very, very sick, and the only present Santa Claas can give us would be to make her well again," replied the father. i eddy was silent.

He looked away into the depths ot the rire in deep thought. It was only when the chimes of the clock on the mantel rung out 9 that he looked lip. Then his father took him up in his arms, kissmgyhim, and bade him run along to I nurse and then wait for Santa Claus to come up into the nursery. "I'll ask Santa Claus to make mamma well again, Teddy exclaimed, as he opened the library door, and then he toddled off towards the stairway, i A stray gust ol wind just then blew open LOOK OUT FOE THE COMING METROPOLIS OF SKAGIT COUNTY.

Througfi the open doorway Teddy saw a portly gentleman, his clothes covered with snowdakes, struggling along against the wind. The gentleman stopped tor an instant, as if to study the house numbers.

As he turned his face towards the doorway little Teddy came bounding out, crying: "Oh, Santa Claus! Santa Claus!" his form shaking with exciteme.nt. "Hello yourself, little one!" answered the man; and then he went oil" in a tit of laughter. "Is you Santa Claus?" asked Teddy, his eyes glistening like diamonds. "Of course I is," came from the man, and this time he nearly choked with suppressed mirth. "Where's your reindeer and sleigh, Mr.

Santa Claus?" asked Teddy, hardly convinced, because the jingling bells, the reindeer and sleigh full of toys were not in sight. "Ha, ha, ha," roared the man. "I've left them around thtf corner," and then he fairly shook at his joke. "Oh," said Teddy, and then, not waiting for further formalities, he rushed down the stairs and catching the stranger by his hand, cried, "Come right in, Mr. Santa Claus, come right in.

1 want you to give mamma something to make mamma well." He tugged away, leading his Santa Claus up the stairs as he spoke. Mr. Stanwood, who had heard the voices and saw the door, came rushing out, his face showing astonishment at the picture he beheld. "The little one thinks that I am Santa claus," said the man, noting Mr. Stanwood's look of surprise.

"Yes," cried Teddy," I have found Santa Claus, and he is going to make mamma well." "Come, Teddy, you mustn't bother the gentleman. Come in out of the cold," said Mr. Stanwood, taking hold of the child's hand. "My wife, sir," he continued, turning to the stranger, "is very ill, and my little boy thinks that Santa Claus will cure her." "Perhaps I can, sir," replied the gentleman; "I am a physician and a stranger in this city. lam looking for the house of some friends who live on this square." Something in the man's tone and bearing struck Mr.

Stanwood favorably, anil clutching at any hope, no matter how wild, he begged the stranger to enter. Once within the house, Mr. Stanwood hurriedly told the gentleman about his wife's illness; how she had been slowly sinking with some complaint that baffled and puzzled the best physicians in the city. The family physicians had told him but au hour before to prepare for the worst. The strange gentleman listened, and when Mr.

Stanwood finished took from his pocket a card-case, and taking out a card handed it to him. The card bore the name "William Deventhal. M. Seattle, Wash." "Will you see my wife and save her, Dr. Deventhal?" anxiously asked Mr.

Stanwood. "I will do what I can, sir," replied the doctor. In a few moments be was at the bedside of the sick woman. AVhen he returned to the library half an hour later hi face, though grave, shone with hope. Mr.

Stanwood rushed eagerly towards him. Not waiting for the inquiry which was forming itself on Mr. Stanwood's iips Dr. Deventhal said: "Have hope, my dear sir, I believe we can still do something for your wife. 1 will send you some medicine as soon as I reach my friend's house.

Follow the directions written to you and in the morning I ill call again." Without waiting for further conversation Dr. Deventlial inquired the directions to the residence of his friend, and in a moment was gone. In half an hour a messenger returned to the Stan wood mansion and delivered a bottle of medicine. With the medicine was a brief note, giving directions for its use, signed by William Deventlial, M. D.

A week later a merry party was assembled in the library of the Stan wood home. Mr. Stan wood hovered over an easy chair, in which reclined his wife, still weak from her recent illness. Several friends sat about, all talking of Mrs. Stanwood's wonderful recovery.

Their frequent glances towards the door showed that thev were expecting someone. A ring of tHe door-bell started little Teddy bounding towards the hallway, shouting, "Here's Santa Clans." A moment later Dr. Deyenthal enterje i the library, tossing Teddy in his arms, the little fellow crving out in merry lauehter. "Dr. Deyenthal," exclaimed Mr.

Stanwood, rushing forward; "always welcome, our good Santa Claus. We can never thank you enough restoring to us our most beloved tut," broke in Dr. DeventhaL "It wasn't me that saved your wife "But our famiiv physician says it was a wonderful cure. 1 interposed Mr. Stanwood.

"Of course it said Dr. Deventhal. "It was a wonderful cure, made by a wonderful medicine, but. I pray you, don't give oiu the credit. Give the honor where it is due.

Give all your thanks to Moore's Revealed Remedy. "Moore's Revealed Remedy!" ejaculated all in surprise. "Yes, Moore's Revealed Remedy," replied Dr. Deventhal. "It is a medicine that is made out in Seattle from the herbs and barks which prow on Puget sound.

The scientinc combining of these has given us this wonderful medicine. You are surprised because, knowing the prejudice against proprietary medicines, I hid the true character of this remedy from you by putting it in a plain So now the cat's out of the bag, don't thank Teddy's Santa Claus, but rather the wonderful health-giving Moore's Revealed Remedy."
