Turkey a. Great Men Like Them.

English oysters and trimmed with French
fried potatoes Each year there is little
wicket fence of the brown potato strips
placed around the turkey. and when he is
brought IN he looks like picture In child S
story book. And can't the poor turkey
get out of that fence? 'ashed my little grand
daughter once
"The turkey should be very small and
very young. / like him cooked quickly
and served red hot. The potatoes make
q very nice addition to the Thanksgiving
dinner that is usually replete with mashed
thIngs-niasbed potatoes, mashed turnips
and mashed something else. The little crisp
potato sticks are liked by ALL have eaten
roast turkey with small bread fingers ar
ranged around him like a wicker fence.
This is a very good way with Vienna sticks"
Joe Jefferson has the big gest turkey feast
of oil. Tiny Tins "God-bless us, every
one" could be brought in appropriately at
any portion of the feast, like the benediction
that it was. Mr.. jefferson fills his house
with bosom friends, and has his dinner
| served at the good old-fashioned hours of
4 ito Z. tits two meals in one. Between the
courses there are speechma king and sing
ing. Mr.. jefferson always has to recite
| something, and the dinner is an entertain
| ment for which he could easily get S25
per plate, without wine.
JEFFERsoN's PRETTY GIRL
"I like my turkey when 1t comes In the

and very pretty serving maid. These go
together and make the one and most i'm

| Bishop Potter's Thanks giving turkey
! is matter of much interest with the
| good mans friends. The bishop begins
| by declaring that he is not going to
have a Tha DksgiviDg turkey; there
| are too many people that need IT." But
his parishioners declare that he shall
| enjoy one. AS early as Monday of
| Thanksgiving week the turkeys begin to
| come in. One, two. three, four, five, six
an hour. All the friends of the bishop
send one. But the bishop is determined
| to thwart them. Last summer In those
| two weeks In tue slums, he saw too many
people that needed good food for him
| to indulge in selfish luxurles, and down
to the slums the turkeys go ip baskets.
| An old servant distributes them.
| But the Bishop has his dinner. On
| Thanksgiving Day he goes out to dine with
| some good host, and there is turkey served
| In the BlsnOp5 own style. InlS is turkey
| with truffles and surrounded by boiled veg
etables. The vegetables are boiled whole
| and are placed in their bright coloring
around the bird. The Bishop carves the
| bird by the host's S request. ~ like turkey
cooked anyway on Thanksgiving Day." de-
clared the Bishop the other day, because
| I am sure to be giving thanks, and what
ever comes before me is good-yes, II it's
| horseflesh garnished with bitter herbsl"

Chauucey Depew actually licked bis chops
when asked about his Thanksgiving dinner.
.Give me-" he said, "a bird from my Hud-
son river farm cooked by an old nanny
from Virginia. No one but a Southern

ing every time. We used to have an old
nanny so lazy she wouldn't move, but
when it came to Thanksgiving time she'd
rouse herself aud cook turkey to the
taste of the queen, or to my own taste
quite as critical one"
A man once undertook to get up book
of 100 ways to cook turkey, as recon-
mended by great men, but when he'd got
his 100 ways from his 100 great men he
found that there were fully 500 more,
Just as great, aud each envious to tel
his own recipe for his national bird upon
this national holiday.
