farm in his back yard. He had
chickens, and ducks, and great
big turk. v, aud termattusses, aud
terpunkins and other fruit, all
growing side by side. That turkey
was Beales's pride. He bet his life

that turkey all he could hold for
weeks back, ard the turkey rtcip,
rocated by getting as voluptunus as

In Inspecting the forthcoming mar
tyr, and the little fellow would get
hungry while looking at the bird.
On Friday little Tommy Beaies
found a box of Brandreth's perpet-

pantry. He wondered if the tur-
key could eat pills. He would try.

went out with an axe on Saturday
night he saw the turkey was but "a
skeleton. Beales dined on onion
salad and sardines the next day.
