.rHE TURKEYS THAxKsGIpINe.n
j. Drayton wainwright.

Written for Gazette and Journal
Such commotion was never seen,
As when Gobbler Browns notice was
read;
"a meeting tonight, under the old oak
tree
Was what the notice said.
Promptly at seven the chickens came,
From ages one TO ten;
From Father Rooster, known to fame,
To stout old Mother Hen.
Master Gobbler took his stand,
Bowed and scraped his foot;
While Mrs. Gobbler clucked aloud,
And to him her kerchief shook.
1--WE come to tell you what heard"
Said he, in accents clear;
And young Miss Gobbler cried outright,
And wiped away a tear.
"As was passing the kitchen door,
| heard old Bridget say;
Now, there's a turkey, nice and fat,
For next Thanksgiving Day. "...
"Her meaning can clearly see, .....
For twas one year before,
That father heard her say the same,
And he was seen no more.
so now you really see, my friends,
My life is at TIL stake; ~.
And if you would brave heroes be,
Save me from being baked"
The older chicks, approval CLICKED
| While the rooster crowed In glee;
And threw a kiss to young Miss Brown,
| Who pretended not to see.
And young Miss Shanghai then stood up,
| Bowed, and looked around;
| And said she would appoint the one,
To save old Gobbler Brown.
Master Rooster then arose,
And advised her to be quick:
So that they would have plenty of time,
70 make him fat and slick.
Miss Shanghai at once complied,
And in solemn words said she:
81 propose that Rooster White,
Our hero brave shall be-"
Rooster White was pale with fear,
And Miss Gobbler cried in pain
But. of course, these demonstrations,
Were clearly now in vain.
So when Thanksgiving Day came on,
They disguised him like poor Brown;
And made him wait by the kitchen door.
Until the cook came round.
"Indade, you haven't long to wait,
Me darlin' little baird;
Sure, y'ur gobble in two seconds,
Will niver more be heard"
So this vain, conceited fowl,
Who thought himself 80 great;
Received no more than he deserved,
Which is every turkeys fate

The people of Frederick, Nd, Thurs.
day celebrated an important episode of
the times that tried mems souls, albeit
one that has not yet found its way into
the histories used in our schools. This
was the bold action of the county court
of Frederick, which, on the 2Sd Of No
vember, 1866, had the courage to vir-
tually declared the stamp act null and
void. This was one of several incidents
in the colonial history of Maryland that
should long ago have received more ex-
tended recognition.

In the other dress the material used
is figured red and blue changeable silk,
trimmed with black guipure and let
passementerie. The gored skirt is lined
with silk and trimmed about % inches
from the bottom with a lace fill ~
inches deep headed by one inch band
Of jet. The bodice is garnished with two
stripes of pink satin yelled with black
lace, in front and back. These stripes
are wide at the shoulders and narrow at
tine bottom, and the standing collar and
small cuffs harmonic with them. The
top Of the sleeve is trimmed with two
lace tiounces about seven inches deep
and a'hounce Of silk taken double be-
tween them. The belt is made of bias
material six inches wide laid in loose
folds and hooks behind.
An Algerian bonnet for the theatre is
little suggestive of the Plaisance. 1t
is hardly more than bandeau of velvet
coming low on the forehead and crossed
by jeweled ribbons. At the side over
each ear rosette of yelling is set, and a
slight sweep of the yelling chiffon falls
over the ear. This is, of course, mere
suggestion of the veil that envelopes the
Algerian girl who serves as a model.

The lace bertha which figures so
prominently in the other dress of this
picture is black guipure, and theigoYn
it drapes is made of white voile. The

Boss McKane, SAYS the New York
Tribune, has attempted to stay the tide
that has set against him SO strongly by
loud talk and blatant denisls of the
things he is accused of. Now, he is fol-
lowing that up with libel suits and
threats to arrest the men who have de-
nounced him. This bold bluff will not
help his case in the minds of intelligent
people. 1t simply disoloses his weak
ness and his desperate and panicky state
of mind. McKane boastfully remarks
that he has the good will of the commu-
nifty where he resides. Undoubtedly,
seeing that he virtually owns the town
of Gravesend in fee, and that his neigh
bors don't dare to call their souls their
own without his sovereign permission.

We hardly expected it so soon, but
we see that one of the grievances which
tho New York Tribune finds in the
Wilson Tariff bill is that 1t puts eggs on
the free list. 1t does not amount to
much one way or the other, but, to our
thinking, the import duty on Canadian
eggs has been the crowning absurdity of
the Mckinley act Such an import
duty might be defended on the score of
revenue, albeit it would hardly bring
more than a few thousands into the
treasury, but levied, as it was by
the McKinleyites, on the score of
protection, it was farcical indeed. 1t is
an assumption that the American hen
of Minnesota cannot compete, without
protection, with the Canadian hen a
hundred yards farther north in Mani
toba. II the Canadian hen should stray
southwark across the line and deposit
her fruit on American soil, or the
American hen should wander over the
line in the other direction and lay her
eggs in Canada--what then?

The rulers of the little republic of
Andorra, says veracious chronicler
of current events, decided recently that
their country should possess a cannon.
Krupp, therefore, was ordered to manu-.
facture one of the most modern type.
The great gun arrived at Its mountain
destination a short time ago, and was
placed on the highest point in the re-
public, SO that all the citizens could see
that the valley was well protected. A
day was appointed to try the cannon,
which had range of IS kilometers.
just as the two artlllerymen of Andorra
were ready to fire, it occurred to one
Of the prudent citizens that the shot
might cause some international
complications. The territory OF the
republic of Andorra did not afford a
range of more than six kilometers. To
direct the shot, therefore, toward the
surrounding mountains would be peril
ously like waging war upon France or
Spain. since the ball would necessarily
fall ON territory belonging to one of
these nations. 1t was then proposed to
direct the ball upward, but somebody
else pointed out that i. would endanger
the lives of some of the people in its de-
scent and possibly bore big hole in
the republic, Wiser counsels prevailed
and the two artillerymen were com
manded to unload the gun. The shot
has not yet been fired and the Andor-
rams are in something of quandary
what to do with heirexpensive artillery.

A genuine Christmas buzz is in the
air. That period of delightful sus-
pense SO dear to the children is at
hand. Everybody is busy buying pres
ents: it is easier to buy them this year,
it would seem. For fortnight or
more ago the shops put on an especial
~ inviting look, and those who entered
in search of gifts found the counters
laid out with fresh, pretty little trifes
that were almost irresistible They say
that this year more economy will be
practiced; that there will be less ex-
penditure of lucre, and much more Of
loving thought. This would account
for the multiplicity of these small
things. and it would also bring great
comfort to those thoughtful souls who
are really anxious to remember all
their dear friends and acquaintance,
but whose purses refuse to cooperate in
the work of love. So many lists of
suitable presents have already ap-
peared in print. besides the catalogues
of the great shops themselves, that
shall refrain from appending any
long array of names. Only let me
say that, if you are clever and
deft with your fingers, and have
any originality, you will no doubt
be able to manufacture much more
acceptable gifts for your friends

satin petticoat. The edge is finished
first with a band of old red. embroi-
dered with true red, then with red

The calling costume is often such

one wonders how women survive the
