/ before Thanksgiving. A gentlemanly-
looking young man left the train SO in

declaring that he represented Massachu-

come him home to Thanksgiving, but the

AS Mrs. J. W. Gabrielle was dressing a
handsome turkey last week, she noticed
that it had an uncommonly large liver
and, on examining that organ more close
", discovered that it was covered with
round whitish spots, which under the
magnifying glass seemed to be full OF cor
ruption. Cutting the liver open, the spots
were seen TO run all through it, and men
who had lately attended the autopsy OF
several diseased cows, pronounced the
turkey a victim OF tuberculosis 1t was a
! fine-looking bird, plump and tender, but
the sight OF its liver rather took the edge
off the family appetite. What with tu-
berculosis in beef, milk, butter. fowls and
eggs, and trichinae in pork, the bill Of
4 fare is gradually being narrowed down to
herring and crackers. II tuberculosis be-
comes fashionable ailment in turkey
dom, the fowls will have much less occa-
sion to look forward to the last Thursday
in November with superstitious feelings
of apprehension.
Monday evening was a red letter occa-
sion with the Odd Fellows lodge of West

is somewhat famous among the fraternity
IN general. There were present members
from Waterbury, Montpelier, White Riy-
er junction, Bethel and Randolph Center.

ute TO the three-link fraternity. Inter
