Congressman johnson, Of North Da-
kota, tells tale of Turkey which makes
ones mouth water. He says that his
people have wild turkey, the wilder the
better. Just at this season of the year
large focks fly southwark. They skim
squawldng over the prairies, within
range of shotguns, and are generally
found nearest the ground in the victn-
ity of the large lakes which are found
in nearly every county. They are baked
and dressed there as elsewhere; and
with sweet potatoes, squash, tomatoes
and canned corn as side dishes, they
furnish food fit for families of for
tune. Mr.. johnson is a temperance
man, and not only has no wine or other
liquor with his turkey, but finds that
his people are too poor and too sane to
spoil their Thanksgiving dinner with
intoxicants.
Secretary of War Alger says that out
side of Detroit turkeys are neither en-
tirely toothsome nor wholesome. De-
troit is the only place on earth where
wives, women, cooks, sons, daughters
and entire families know how to cook
and eat the national bird. He admits
that all Michigan is constantly in a
Thanksgiving condition, because of the
soil, climate and superior population
but he thinks that Detroit takes the
cake. He also admits that Fort street
beats all other parts of Detroit, anc
that turkey is sweeter there than any
where else ON earth: even in Michigan
Senator Mason, of Illinois, has fond
ness for the atmosphere of Chicago, anc
thinks that the lake breezes and the
prairie zephyrs give zest to ones
Thanksgiving appetite. When the snow
is on the ground in Chicago and a oliz
zard is blocking traffic, the senator
think that well-scrved turkey, with ol
without Kentucky trimmings, woul:

THEY ALL TALK TURKEY.
Statesmen of Note Discuss tho
Thanksgiving Bird.
Congressman sicMillin Tells n Good
story, but Furnishes No All
davit with It-Tillmnn md
His Pitcbfork.
Especial washington letter.


Considerable comment is caused by
the turbulent turmoil in Turkey.
Sultans may sulk and grand viziers
may wise; and the Bosphorus continue
the boss of all naval works of its kind,
but Turkey cannot last forever.
The Armenian question is not now
uppermost, nor is the sale of Cau-
casian girls under consideration. On
the contrary, our people are looking
with smiles of satisfaction upon the
slaughter of Turkey itself.
Congressman talk of it in the cloak
rooms, senators discuss it at home with
their wives. and the president, as well
as his cabinet ministers, is telling
tales of Turkey to the exclusion of
every other subject.
1t was the same way last year at this
season. People forgot Cuba and all
other foreign affairs, while Turkey
alone was the subject of discussion.
Amos Cummings says that one of the
most graphic tales of Turkey ever heard
was told by Congressman McMillin, of
Tennessee.
The greatest dinner that McMillin
ever enjoyed was at a log house, when
he was a callow youth, just returning
from Kentucky university. A large
turkey had been secured. On the day
before Thanksgiving it had been care
fully picked and drawn. That night,
however some nppreciative darliy had
thrown the family into CONSERVATION
by abstracting the bird. The theft
was discovered about ten p. m. Mean
reached the fury of a tornado. The log
house stood the blast. The wooden
shutters were closed, and the bowling
wind outside made the log-wood fire
dance as if in glee, sending a shower of
sparks up the chimney. Suddenly there
was smash against the wooden shutter
outside. A blood-curdling sound was
heard. Securing n lantern the head Of
the household went out quickly and re-
turned.
He had in his hand two huge tur-
keys with bronzed legs and ruffled feath-
ers. One was a gobbler, the other a
hen. They had been torn from their
roosts in the mountains, borne miles
on the gale, and thrown against the
rude cabin by the hand of Providence
to take the place of the turkey that the
negro had abstracted. Providence had
made no mistake in this case, for the
family were good, oldfashioned, hard
shelled Baptists. They returned thanks
on the spot, and on the following day

tioral bird Moreover, the eagle is
doomed to extinction, while turkey, the
real national bird, will never become
extinct. The domestic bird will always
be cultivated, while the wild turkey
will always take care of himself. He
is neither a sectional nor partisan
bird. He goes north in the spring
time, and he comes south in the fall.
The wild turkeys fatten on the fields of
the Yankees, and they come to South
Carolina just in time for our Thanks
giving feasts. South Carolina is always
patriotic on Thanksgiving day. We eat
and drink in harmony with the Yankees
of New England and with the money
changers of Wall street on that day.
Marietta daily leader. (Marietta, Ohio) 1895-1906, 1897-11-26


Nobody calls us anarchists on Thanks
giving day. We are then regarded as
American citizens; the equals of the
lily-fingered patricians of the north"
1t is quite likely that the Palmetto
statesman balances pitchfork on his
knees, even while eating his Thanks
giving dinner.
"The snow is creaking and cracking
under the bobsleds in Minnesota" says
Congressman Heatwole, of the Gopher
state. 1.-The dinner of turkey is grand,
and every farmers family can afford
one, too. The people of three genera
tions gather about the table, and they
eat until they can eat no more; particu-
larly the boys and girls whose youthful
appetites are sharpened by the clear,
dry, cold air that sweeps over the
prairies. But eating turkey don't end
Thanksgiving day in Minnesota. The
boys and girls get out the horses, bob
sleds, sleigh-bells, buffalo robes, gloves
and muffiers at night, and out under
the diamond-studded sky they go driv-
ing; either to visit friends or to attend
some country entertainment. There's
lots of love-making on those drives. The
foundations of happy homes are often
laid out under the Thanksgiving stars"
In the mild climate of Virginia and
Maryland, on the beautiful Potomac,
where the national capital is located,
it makes one shiver to the marrow to
think of the boys and girls having "a
good time" in their bob-sleds, making
love and plighting their troth under
the stars, with the thermometer at or
below zero.
They may talk of their good time in
the north, south east and west, but
Washington city is the ideal place to
spend Thanksgiving day, tell tales of
turkey and enjoy the annual feast of
reason and flow of soul. There is no
snow, no rain, no hail; and not even
breezes that bluster and chill. The
streets as well as the sidewalks are dry.
We need no goloshes, nor arctics. We
need no buffalo robes, nor sealskins.
Nature has given us the genial medium
climate and atmosphere which induce,
and conduce, comfort, good cheer and
longevity.
No finer turkeys are taken to any
market than are to be found here.
Some of them live and gobble until the
day Of their sacrifice. The majority of
them, however, come to market with
out their gobble, without their feath-
ers, showing their white skin drawn
tight over wholesome fat, and their
yellow legs cleaning as the tempting
''drumsticks" for the children.
But, after all, while we have Thanks
giving in the white house, Thanksgiv-
ing In the houses of the cabinet minis
ters, Thanksgiving in the houses of
senators, Thanksgiving in the homes
of representatives, Thanksgiving in the
homes Of diplomats, Thanksgiving in
the homes of millionaires, and Thanks
giving in the homes of the plain peo-
pie of the republic, it may be we'll for
US to be really thanksgiving, and to
remember that there is coming a day
when "the rich and the poor shall meet
together; for the Lord is the maker of
us ALL SMITH d, FRY. '

was elected that the disease is very
