For The Sentine
CHRISTMAS TURKEY.

Turkey at Christmas is so essentially meet
That his presence we almost invariably greet
Al the board where mirh and festiviy reign
The turkeys omnipotent when served with
champagne;
but here let US correct prevailing belief,
Which'l give the heart of the patriot a glow
of relief
People call him a Turkey the name is absurd
He is the pride of Amerca-our National
bird.
AS much SO as our valleys, our hills and our
leas
And our primeval groves with their grand
Under whose shadows in freedom he strolled,
With strength like oar sires, and endurance
MS bold
Well, enough has been said that no Suspicion
may Turk
That he came from the land of the Inidel
Turk
Why his strut, his gait and his penchaat for
corn
Proclaim him native-'to the manor born i"
of all fun
He rules the genius of wit and dispenses the
pun;
He possesses in sooth, n charm all his own
That can only be felt in his presence alone.
All that rich, subtle odor makes US syly
unace
Why does The parson take so long to say
grace?
Then, good comrade of mine, come sit at the
table,
Partake of good cheer and eat while your
able.
Here is warmth, here is comfort, and smiles
that betray
But part of The welcome that greets you to-
dav
All ! here in the centre enthroned on plate,
Superb in Surroundings, royal in State,
You behold, (what face wears q scowl?)
| With his Cranberry courters, our National
fowl
There is an edge to the carving knife, polished
and bright;
The plates are all warm, the napkins are white
Before us the celery CLEANS crisp through the
And the cranberry jelly shames the blush on
faces.
Thrust the fork astraddle the beauty's breas,
bone;
From his side cut thin slices, the whitest e'er
What variety of taste, what epicurism seen,
When the wine circles about and uppeli,es
grow keen
With what gusto each guest broods over his
plate
Uutil the perspiration stands on many bald
pate
See Silently they unloose the girlh of their
breeches,
For, one by one, distension ruptures the
stitches.
After this, with a sentiment quite solemn to
! own,
Ask to be helped TO the upper thgh-hone
While Others, with less delicacy for ruder
sense,
Take that part which disappears last DER the
fence
All white meat or brown meat il matters OF
much
1t is taste we must please, not seeing or touch.
And with either for dinner we are not at a
loss
If we have celery in plenty and cranberry
sauce,
Topped off with a bottle of raciest of wine,
We can manage, think, in comfort to dine
Nay Who with a turkey like this at COM
mand
Would not be patriot and proud OF bis land ?

Birds.-The scarcity of partridges in this
section for the last few season makes it very
evident that something should be done by
which the birds may have an opportunity TO
increase in number. We have heard this idea
expressed by several OF our best sportsmen,
and they follow it up with the suggestion thai
such legislation be obtained as will prevent
the hunting of par'ridges for one, two or
three years, in order that this delightful game
may be made more plentiful.

Nearly every resident of Montana has
either seen or heard of the famous Bear
Tooth mountain, the most prominent land
mark III northern Montana. It is visible
from different points at distances ranging
from forty to sixty miles, and is in full
view from Helena and the surrounding
country. The mountain is distant about
thirty miles from Helena, and stands like
a grim and mighty sentinel at the end of
the canon known as the Gate Of the Noun
tains, through which flows the Missouri
river. The Bear Tooth was fully describ-
ed as wonderful landmark of the early
explorers, Lewis and Clark. In all pho
tographs CT the northern country the two
tusks, rising black and grim hundreds
of feet above the mountain, are the prom
inent objects. The main tusk remains,
looking lonely and isolated in its gran
duer.
Last Monday party Of hunters, who
We're chasing game several miles north of

sound and quaking of the earth, and
supposing it was an earthquake. and not
noticing a repetition of it, they soon for

chase until they reached the Bears Tooth.
Here there were astonished by the apper-
ance of the eastern tusk. This was a per-
pendicular mass of rock and earth, fully
500 feet high, 800 feet in circumference
at its base, and about $50 feet at the ton.
