TURKEYS ON CRurCHEs.
How . shasta County Farmer keeps
His Fowls.

! How . Shastn County Farmer keeps
! His Fowls.
Capt. Bridge of Shasta county, Cal.
who has an extensive reputation in
that district as a cultivator of high
class poultry, has developed a very
philanthropic spirit toward his wards,
says the San Francisco Examiner.
Recently he noticed peculiar dis
ease spreading among the turkeys. 1t
exhibited itself by gradual swelling
in the legs from the thigh, or time
honOred and much-respected drum
stick" so popular among youngsters
about Thanksgiving time. 1t spread
down the legs, and in few days the
turkey unfortunate enough to be at
fiicted was unable to walk with that
proud and naughty step so frequently
employed by this royal bird.
The captain found that by regular
hot-water applications the swelling
could be reduced, but this manner Of
treating was so slow that the patient
was compelled to lead a life of idle
ness, much to his disgust At times
the captain would have several of his
fattest birds in the hospital, and it
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 a step forward
the crutches would be brought into
play. and progress, instead Of torture,
was pleasure.
In few hours the cripples became
familiar with the new order of things,
and were able to hobble around at
more rapid gait.
Almost any time during damp
weater when the rheumatism is on,
one can see half q dozen turkeys on
crutches at Capt. BRIDGES farm.
They are learning some new tricks Of
late, but so far are not sufficiently ex-
pert to flop up and light on the fence.

4 Motorman's Life.

The Great Strain on q Mans Nerves
Sufficient In Itself to Wreck Him In
Short Time. The Experience
Of . well-Known Motorn,an.
From the Cincinnati, Ohio, Enquirer.
The life Of q motorman is not q bed of
roses. He is subjected to many hardships
especially in the winter when he Is exposed
to the cold and snow. Even in the summer
he must bear the intense heat which beats
down upon him. Considerable nerve and
self-possession is necessary in good motor
man, for the lives and limbs Of his passen-
gers are at stake. One Of the best known
electric motormen in this city is William
Frazer, who is at present running car on
the Cumminsville electric line. He is not
only well known to his fellow employees but
to the people who travel on his car. Mr.
Frazer is young man about twcnty-six
years Of age and resides with his wife and
child at IA Belts Street, Cincinnati, o.
About year ago Mr.. Frazer was taken
with serious stomach troub es. He bought
several kinds of medicine VIII III were rec
commended to him, but none of them seemed
to give him even temporary benefit. An
enthusiastic admirer Of that famous remedy
known as DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People told him to try them. Frazer was
almost discouraged, but took the advice.
To reporter for the Enquirer he said:
II can most heartily recommend DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills. They are all that is
claimed for them, in fact they advertise
themselves better than any medicine ever
saw. was seizea some time ago with bad
attack Of indigestion. My stomach hurt me
nearly all the time and could not digest
my food. The pain was almost unbearable
and found nothing that would give mo
relief confess that when / bought the
first box Of Pink Pills hadn't much conf
dence in their efficacy because l had tried 80
many things without success that was al
most discouraged Before Lad taken ono
box l was decidedly better Two boxes
cured me entirely. While have been under
the weather from other causes my indiges-
tion has never returned. If it ever should
! know just what to do ! have 80 much
confidence in the efficacy Of ink Pills that
If ever get real sick again with any disor-
der l shall use some of them. 1t is a pleas
ure for me, Iassure you, to testify to tho
excellent qualities of these Pink Pills. They
not only tone the stomach but regulate tho
bowels and act asst as mild cathartic."
Mr.. Frazer's testimonial means some
thing. He speaks from personal expert
ence and any one who doubts that he re-
ceived the benefits stated can easily verify
the assertion by calling on Mr.. Frazer or
seeing him some time while he is on his cor.
Dr.. Williams Pink Pills contain all the
elements necessary to give new life and
richness to the blood and restore shattered
nerves They are sold in boxes at 50
cents box, or six boxes for g. so, and may
be had of all druggists or directly by mail
from DR.. Williams Medicine Company,

WHY SHOULD WE THANK HIM,
Why should we thank Him? The year i

Why should we thank Him? The year is
old,
Ralsied and tottering to the tomb;
Sp}nt and faded the summers gold
1Never bird-song thrills the gloom,
Yet for the days that were bright and rare,
Verdurc and bloom Of the daisied sward,
All we have known of the sweet and fair.
sHere, In the shadow, we thank the Lord.
Why should we praise Him? The hopes Of
youth
Haunt like specters the blackcned past,
Fslsehood taught us to doubt the truth;
Bitter the wisdom that came at last.
Yet for the strength in the conflict won,
Faith that rang like master chord,
Love and honor and duty done.
Out Of our sorrow we thank the Lord.
Why should we praise Him? The hint Of
loss
Comes as warning with life's first breath,
Wrath of darkness our joy across
Falls the shadow and chill of death.
He who gave us the hope and prayer
Over our path keeps watch and ward;
Heaven shall answer the earth's despair!
So for its promise we thank the Lord.

THE FIRST THANKSGIVING.

The Earliest observation In Ameri.
ea-The Puritan ThanI<sRiv1n&.
There is little doubt that the New
England Thanksgiving day, inaugural
ed by the Pilgrim Fathers, was adopt
ed by them with special reference tt
the Jewish feast Of Tabernacles. Some
have supposed that it may have had
some reference, in origin, to the Eng
lish feast of the harvest home, with
which the early settlers of New Eng.
land were all familiar, but this is not
probable. The Puritans abOminated all
secular feasts, and the harvest home,
with it's drinking and riotous merry.
making, was hardly less detestable to
them than the mummers and the was.
sail bowl of Christmas. Resides 1t
was the especial desire Of those
worthy folk to model their govern
ment in all it's particulars on the
Scripture code, and, furthermore, the
reasons on which the Hebrew feast
was enjoined, that the people might
be kept in mind Of an especial Provi-
dence ever watching over them,
seemed perfectly applicable to their
case.
The observance Of special occasions
with religious services and thanks
giving was not unusual in Europe
even before the time Of the Pilgrims.
Such day was observed in Leyden,
Holland, Oct. 5, 1876. on the first an
niversary of the deliverence Of that
city from siege. When the Spanish
Armada had been defeated Queen
Elizabeth ordered day Of praise and
thanksgiving. Again when the gun
powder plot was discovered, in 1905,
a public thanksgiving was ordered,
which later was regularly observed;
but soon. as Guy Fawkes' day. it de-
generated into mere occasion for
schoolboy froNds.
However, the first Thanksgiving
dinner in New England was not re-
ligious in it's character. 1t was in the
autumn of 1921. ten months after the
peerless little band of pioneers had
landed on the shores of Plymouth bay.
There had been much sickness in the
colony during the first few months,
and many deaths. "The record Of
misery" says Bancroft, "was kept by
the graves of the governor and half
OF the company" Yet the others did

the sheep was killed for dinner, but
what with the green wood, it's smoke,
no cooking pots, etc, and the impossi-
