be inundated with hampers filled with
good things. On one occasion an enor-
nous turkey was sent to him by the
thoughtful kindness Of q neighboring
farmer, but as the minister's family had
already provided for the Christmas din
ner tho bird was sent to the market and
sold.
A passerby, seeing this fine specimen
Of poultry, said, "What q splendid tur-
keyl just the thing for the minister

was again sent.
The provident wife sent It again 10
tho market and sold itagain for a hand

the splendid proportions Of the turkey,
purchased it and sent it to the minis
