Story of the Day.
Th** (iBy which in now called "Thanks
giving day,” and which is a formal ob-
pervanco by proclamation of Presidents
of the United Slates, usually followed
by proclamation* of Governors of nearly
all of the States, has had its poetry,
itH rhyme which in not poetry, and
prosaic literature which is better than
either poetry or the rhyme. It was in
its origin really a religious observance,
the first proclamations being promul
gated by provincial Governors of very
religious New England, Bradford hav
ing in history the credit of the first
proclamation.
Observance was in the beginning des
ultory, that is, not simultaneous; and
it was not general and synthetic, really,
until 1 Wet, when the first Presidential
proclamation wus issued by Lincoln for
a day of thanksgiving because of the
apparent approaching end of the Civil
War. Naturally that day wus not ob
served by the seceded .States, but now
it has come to be recognized in nearly
all of the States, though in many of
them it is not n statutory holiday. It
is not, and never was, a national holi
day by legislative enactment.
Just when the turkey flew in fits one
of the almost imperative accompani
ments of the Thanksgiving table is not
worth mentioning, as it is an incident
so vague. That fowl, with mince or
pumpkin pie as a part of the dessert of
the time-honored dinner of the day, has
for long years come to be so well recog
nized that it has been urged as the only
logical bird for blazoning on the national
escutcheon, the eagle having become
mighty “akase,” and having been much
missed both in thiH and other countries.
In 1859, the morning of June li, frost
killed all that was killuble throughout
the entire North. In October of the
previous year, as will fie well remem
bered by elderly people who were chil
dren then, the Dnnati comet suddenly
blazed across the heavens, and for
months was one of the most beautiful
of spectacles, but, to the supersti
tious, fearsome and direful. When the.
nucleus was low in the northwest in the
early evening tin* "tiiil” dominated all
other celestial phenomena, (lowing ftr
past the zenith. The presage of a
great Civil War to come was in the air,
and to those who were in the least
superstitious the comet was a sign of
calamity neur at hand. The freeze of
the following .Ilino clinched the pre
monition, and in the fall of the yoar of
the froRt there was a (piito generally
observed day of faRling nnd prayer.
It. was this sort of recognition of the
omnipotence of Deity, solemn and pro
found and utterly sinfere, which in the
earlier days of the nation gave founda
tion to the origin of the days of thanks
giving for the good things of human
existence, and, when they were not as
good as they might have been, that
they were no worse than they were.
Then the whole etistom of setting
apart u day for giving thanks to the
Almighty grew gradually into the pres
ent beautiful intermingling of religious
services, reunion of families and friends,
feasting and general rejoicing, even if
the times were portentous of adversity
for gome of the peoples of this nnd
other parts of the world.
It is peculiarly an American “institu
tion,” and our fat and frivolous fow
of paradise is its fetish. It is in till its
forms and colors, wild or domestic
essentially an American bird, our
Thanksgiving dinner bird, yeiterday
und to-day and forever, beloved by a
ages and races, and for at least that
<ine day putting the Roman nose of the
eagle out of joint.
The more a man is
real happiness he has.

A NEWNAN INTERVIEW.
Mr. Jennings Tolls Ills Experience.
The following brief account of no in
terview with a Newnnn man over four
years ago, and its sequel, will be read
with keen inti rest by every citizen:
H. W. Jennings, machinist, 78 Mur
ray street, Newimn, says: “Forseveral
years I had been subject to attacks of
kidney complaint. They came on me
after any exposure or wh n I got cold.
At such times my kidneys were irregu
lar in action and my back pained and
ached and made it hard for me to do
spy work. Since learning of Doan’s
Kidney Pills, 1 never suffer an attack
but what they relieve every symptom
of the complaint.” (Statement given
Eeh. 20, 1911.)
Over four years later Mr. Jennirgs
said: “I have had no occasion to use
Doan's Kidney Pills for some time.
They cured me of h very severe case of
kidney complaint.”

fflS TREATMENT
IS REMARKABLE,
SAYS CAPT. PATTY.
Ex-Passenger Agent for the North
ern Pacific Discusses Former
Trouble
Nearly everybody in Knoxville, es|>e
cially railroad people, know Capt. F. S
Patty, for twelve years district passen
ger agent for the Northern Pacific rail
road. with local offices in Chattanooga
and general offices u St. Paul, Minn.
On account of generally failing health
Capt. Patty was forced to discontinue*
active work and for the past few years
has been making his home in Knox
ville, where he numbers his friends by
his acquaintances. He is a kind, genial
gentleman of the old school, and is be
loved by all who know him. The fol
lowing interesting statement was made
by hirn in person to the Tatilac repre
sentative:
‘‘I am 69 years old and always en
joyed good health up to about six years
ago, when I suffered a nervous break
down and rny general health gradually
failed me. My principal trouble was
indigestion ami caturrh, but my whole
system seemed to be out of shape. My
condition finally got so bad 1 couldn’t
sleep at night, and always after eating
I would Huffer so from indigestion and
heartburn that 1 felt just like there
was a coal of fire in my stomach. My
hearing and vision were also affected.
I consulted several doctors here in
Knoxville and other cities, ami they
helped me considerably, and 1 finally
got so I could go around, but somehow
I just couldn’t feel right and could not
sleep at night, which made me awfully
nervous, and nothing I would eat seem
ed to ugree with me.
"I began reading about this Tanlac
when you first came here, but did not
decide to try the medicine until I talked
with a friend of mine who had actually
used it. Ho said it was the best thing
he had ever taken, and that was suffi
cient proof for me.
”1 have just finished the first bottle
and came here this morning, not only to
buy the second bottle, but to tell you
just what it hiis done for me. I began
enjoying my meals from tile first few
doses. My nervousness is gone and I
can sleep like a child, and always wake
up in the morning ready for breakfast
and feeling refreshed. I am very fond
of onions, but was almost afraid to eat
them, because they always disagreed
with me so. I could taste them for
hours afterwarii. I ate one for dinner
the other day and it agreed with me
perfectly, and I felt no bad effects
whatsoever. I tell you I am beginning
to feel like a different man, nnd am
always going to keep this Tanlac on
hand. It lias done me more good than
anything else in the medicine line l
have ever taken. 1 certainly do rec
ommend it to my friends. It is really
remarkable.”

The Story of Thanksgiving.
Of all the religious festivals of the
year Thanksgiving is the only one that
is for all the people. Christmas and
Easter and the whole series of Christian
festivals are for Christians only. The
Jews have their Rosh Hoshonu and
their passover. The Mohammedans
among us have their Ramadan, and
even the Chinese have their feast days,
which they observe in their own pecu
liar manner.
Each religion has its own, but there
is one Thanksgiving day for all. when
all, of whatever faith, can, in their own
way, call on God and praise Jesus or
Mohammed or Buddha.
Nov. 18, 1787, was our first National
Thanksgiving Day, ordained by the Act
of the Continental Congress und pro
claimed by George Washington. The
day was set apart, in the words of the
resolution, to express gratitude that
God had been pleased to “smile on us
in the prosecution of a just and neces
sary war for the defense nnd establish
ment of our unalienable rights and lib
erty.”
The Constitution had just been adopt
ed, and before the Act setting apart
this day of thanksgiving had been final
ly passed there h id been not a little
discussion in Congress about the pro
priety of the President’s asking people
to give thanks for a Constitution for
which some of them were not thankful.
It was later that the last Thursday in
November came to be the day chosen,
when no marked event indicated anoth
er day, and the thanks of the nation,
unitea nder the Constitution, were ex
pressed on Nov. 28, 1789. Since that
day the custom has never been omitted
entinly, although until the Civil War
it was only occasionally observed, ex
cept in New England.
It was our Civil War which brought
the people to a new sense of national
oneness, and since 1864 the President of
the United States has annually issued a
Proclamation of thanksgiving.
But what President or prophet or
sage in 1861 could have dreamed that
half a century later the lines of such a
proclamation would go out into all the
world.’

This is a medicine intended especially

Is America’s Day
Eaory .1. IIk>«"'.
Di i you ever see the sun rise out of
the ocean’.' For nearly four hours the
dawn of Thanksgiving day has been
feeling its way westward across the
sea before it breaks on America. Half
a league onward, the gray light creeps
over the unhabitable waste of waters.
The new faint light cohorts of outriders
are scouting ahead of the monarch >un.
They are seeking the coast of Maine,
feeling for the Cape of Hntteras E'or
this is to be a great day in Amenta.
If the sun were a god, marching over
the Atlantic spares, one would put those
words in his mouth: “You ships on
which I Hash, I am not content with
you alone, nor with you light houses,
which 1 now touch with my spears of
sunbars. I seek a continent of grate
ful human dwelling. 1 gild church
spires, burnish the white walls of
great cities, gleam in farm ,| house
windows, the homes of men. It is not
a day of toil, but of thankful, joyous
rest. I will march over the vast areas
of mighty States, cross rivers and
lakes, climb the Saharas and beyond,
before 1 slip again into the Pacific
ocean. For this is a day set apart to
me. Men are waiting, out of harness,
for the sunbeams. I acknowledge their
tokens. I make the American flag
beautiful everywhere in my blue sky,
thousands of flags dipping to give
thanks. I hear the ringing of bells,
the shouts of play, the laughter of
kinsmen greeting kinsmen, and the
voice of the nation's prayer.”
But the sun is no god. A day is
merely a stretch of hours. There is a
Maker of the sun who trains it to be
but the servant of His children. There
is an All-seeing Eye which views us at
our grateful offices. Let us try to
think of it that way. Then the day
has a meaning.
Thinking of it all in that way, what
a sublime day it is! A whole youthful
nation with uplift bands and merry
hearts. This nation has been, at times,
in tears. To-day it bursts into luugh-
ter and the sound of thankness—the
fragrance of a feast fills the air. It is
a very festival of charity, when none is
proud or selfish, when the poor are not
forgotten.
Have you ever watched the clouds
awaking by mists rising by the ad
vancing son? What a spectacle it
would be if, from a star, one could
witness this uprising of sun-touched
vapor from valley to plain across a
continent. So does the nation’s praise
arise with incense of thanksgiving.
Remember that, by this figure, we are
seeking to make our answering adora
tion visible to our minds.
And there is no beauty in a sunset
except if there be clouds to take on the
gliding. So may the evening be, of
this glad day, for "The Lord God is our
sun and shield.” When the day is done
may heaven’s blessings, yet to be sent
us, be more than the evening stars for
multitude. Stars on stars, yet the light
from many a star is so distant that it
has never reached us. But it is on the
way.
Went to the Hospital.
C. E. Blanchard, postmaster at Blan
chard, Cal., writes: “I had kidney trou
ble so bad I had to go to the hospital.
Foley’s Kidney Pills were recommended
to me and they completely cured me. f
cannot speak too highly of them.’

ilar benefit from this standard remedy

Lost—A Boy!
Not kidnapped by bandits and hidden
in a cave to weep and starve and rouse
a nation to frenzied searching. Were
that the case, one hundred thousand
men would rise to the rescue, if need
be.
Unfortunately, the losing of the lad
is without any dramatic excitement,
though very sad and very real.
The fact is, his father lost him. Be
ing too busy to sit with him at the fire
side and answer his trivial questions
during the years when fathers are the
only heroes of the boys, he let go his
hold upon him.
Yes, his mot ter lost him. Being
much engrossed in her tea3, dinners
and club programmes, she let the maid
hear the boy say his prayers, and thus
her grip slipped and the boy was lost to
his home.
Aye, the church lost him. Being so
much occupied with sermons for the
wise and elderly who pay the bills, and
having good care for his dignity, the
ministers and elders were unmindful of
the human feelings of the boy in the
pew, and made no provision in sermon
or song or manly sport for his boyish
ness, and so the church and many sad-
hearted parents are now looking earn
estly for the lost boy.
Beware of Cheap Substitutes.
In these days of keen competition it
is important that the public should see
that they get Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy and not take substitutes sold
for the sake of extra profit. Chamber

forty years. Obtainable everywhere.
