about Thanksgiving time. 1t spread
down the legs, and in few days the
turkey unfortunate enough to lie af-
tiicted was unable to walk with that
proud and naughty step 80 frequently
employed by this royal bird.
The captain found that by regular
llot-water applications the swelling
could be reduced, but this manner Of
treating was SO slow that the patient
was compelled to lead life of idle
ness, much to his disgust. At times
the captain would have several Of his
fattest birds in the hospital, and 1t
required almost all his attention to
give them the hot-water treatment.
This state of affairs went on for some
time. when finally he was inspired to
introduce little Yankee ingenuity
into the flock, and, being rather
handy with his pocket knife, he fash
ioned a crude pair Of crutches about
seven inches In length, and secured
them under the turkeys wings. They
were just fraction longer than the
turkeys legs, and every time the
rheumatic would take step forward
the crutches would be brought into
play, and progress. instead Of torture,
was pleasure.
In few hours the crlpples became
familiar with the new order Of things
and were able to hObble around at q
