Joe Pascho,y's THrkey.

Some days ago MT. Hayes, Of the Rabacomari, came into town with a fine load of turkeys, and before dis posing of them made Joe Pascholy, proprietor of the Occidental hotel, a present of one of the finest in the lot. Joe, being practical joker himself, was fully aware that if some of the boys could spirit that turkey away they would do so, so he has kept the turkey tied up by string with full allowance of corn in the back yard during the day, and locked up in the shed at night, and so closely has Joe guarded his Thanksgiving dinner thas no opportunity to get away with 1t occurred until to-day, when Joe, being busy as a committeeman of the ball tonight, had hied himself to Schieffe- lin hall. During his absence three of the boys went into the yard and found that the cook had just chopped the turkeys head off and was plucking the feathers off They waited until he had finished the operation and had

hung the turkey on a hook in the shed and locked the door. They ten procured a long pole and succeeded in reaching the turkey and drawing it through a hole in the wall. This done, they quickly secreted the bird and awaited developments, which soon came. The Chinaman, passing the shed, noticed that the turkey was gone, and immediately sought out the colored porter and accused him of taking the turkey, which allegation the porter denied.
 The Nongollian then went to Joe and told him that the turkey was gone and accused the porter of taking it. Joe then made break for the porter and told him that he would break every bone in his body if he did not tell him where the turkey was, but the porter protested his innocence and refused to tell. By this time Joe was fairly wild, aud the boys came to the conclusion that the joke had gone far enough, and while the others kept Joe in conversation one of them step- ped out and put the turkey back and announced to Joe that he had better take another look for the turkey which ne did, and found back on the hook in the shed. Joe treated and took the joke in good part, but imme liately put the bird under lock and key, where it cant be reached with pole, md says that If that turkey is gone when he comes home from the ball to-night, that there will be work fer
