CARVING THE TURKEY.

Free the ends of the drumsticks
from the body. Place the turkey on
the platter with the head at the left.
Unless the platter be very large, pro-
vide an extra dish, also fork for serv.
ing. Insert the carving fork across
the middle of the breastbone.
Cut through the skin between the
breast and the thigh. Bend the leg
over, and cut of close to the body and
through the joint. Shave off the
breast in thin slices, slanting from the
front of the breastbone down toward
the wing joint.
Tip the bird over slightly, and with
the point of the kuife remove the oys.
ters and the small dark portion found
on the side bone. Then remove the
fork from the breast and divide the
leg and wing. Cut through the skin
between the body and the breast, and
and with spoon remove portion OF
the stuffing. Serve light or dark meat
and stuffiing, as preferred.
1t carved in this way, the turkey
will be left with one.half entire, and if
placed on clean platter, and garnish'
ed with parsley, will present nearly as
fine an appearance, to all but the car
yer, as when first served.
When there are many to be served,
take off the leg and the wing from each
side and slice the whole of the breast
before removing the fork, then divide
as required.
As a general rule, cut across the
grain. A turkey may be placed with
the head toward the right hand of the
carver. The breast is generally cut in
slices parallel to the breastbone; but
if the turkey is large, first cut the
wings off.
Skillful carvers do not agree as to
the position of bird on the platter.
Some prefer to have the neck at the
right hand; but the majority prefer to
have it at the left. Some can cut more
easily toward the right than toward
the left hand. The carving will be
done with more grace if the one who
carves works easily and naturally, in.
stead of attempting to follow an arbi-
trary rule. The position of the bird in
these directions is with the neck aC the
left.-Farm, Field and FIreside.

BROKEN COMMANDMENTS. - The

The other afternoon, while he was
waiting in the drawing room of a beau

he was entertained by the little
daughter herself. Taking her upon

to the little maid Of five.

4 TIMELY MOVIE OF WARNING

THE following is a copy of circular
l. letter which is being sent ont by one
Of the largest mercantile establishments
of the great northwest to their customers
throughout the country on the Importance
of keeping insured against loss by fire
DEAR SIR: During the past few months
the losses sustained by merchants,
through fires, in that part of the country
tributary to the st. Louis market, have
been so unusually large and disastrous as
to suggest to us the advisability Of ad-
dressing our customers upon the I'M
PORTANCE Of keeping fully insured
at ALL TIMES. Within the past few
weeks four of our own customers have
lost their stocks and buildings entire,
without insurance, or so nearly so, that
the amount carried was totally inad-
euuate to the risk assumed, and in two
or three instances, when the fire came, it
was found that policies for considerable
amounts had just lapsed. Men rarely
make SECOND mistake of this kind, but
the commonest feature of the FIRST, is
the wiping out of the results of years OF
labor and thrift and leaving those who
commit the folly of FAILING TO INSURE,
in position whereby they have to face
the world in condition far worse than
when commercial life was first begun.
Think of the possibilities of having the
fruits of 20 years of labor swept away
within a few minutes, with no other lega-
cy than smoke and ashes and vain regrets
for what might have been prevented by
little foresight! TO the wide awake,
conservative business man, the expense
incident to keeping his goods fully insur-
ed is Just as legitimate and necessary as
that Of paying taxes, rent and clerk hire.
We may escape the consequences of fail.
ure to insure for FIVE, TEN or TWENTY
wears, but we are just as certain to he
brought face to face with it, sooner or
later, as we stay in business; therefore,
we say to you, if you are not now in
sured, attend to it before the sun
goes down
With kindly assurances of regard for
our mutual interests, we are,
Vo,,, ypnr friends.

nag "Well," remarked the fond, but
bashful young man, rising at a late
hour to 20, sit seems hardly worth
while for me to stay any longer. We
are not going to see any meteors to-
night. 1t is great disappointment
but l have enjoyed the evening ex.
ceedingly in spite of that. And there
won't be another great shower like the
one we missed seeing," he added, hng-
ering his hat, "for S3 years."
"Well," responded the maiden, look
ing dreamily out at the darkened skies,
"if you'll come we'll sit up and watch
for that one too"
Then he put down his hat.
"Katie," he gasped, "do yot think
III still be coming here as am now
33 years from this time?"
"It looks like it," she replied de-
murely.
On which hint he spake - and it
was still later when he finally did 60.

SPRAYING Hoes For LICE.-When
lice get into drove of hogs it will not
be long until the effect is noticed.
Hogs will not remain healthy with lice
present. The earliest and also the
most effective way of Kidding the
swine of the pests is by spraying them
with water in which kerosene is STIR
red. For spraying, use common
spraying pump, one Of those handy
little hand pumps which set in pail
Of water being easily managed. Into
pen few feet square turn two or
three hogs and turn the pump with
sprayer attached upon them. Drench
them thoroughly, driving the water
upon them with full force Of the pump.
One spraying will kill the lice on IA
hog, and where the whole herd is
treated, including the shed floors, the
lice will be eXterminated. This is
much easier and less disagreeble than
greasing and is far more effective.-J.

He EXPLAINED-The late Bishop
George Peck was most lovable char
acler, but a man Of great natural dig
nifty and pomposty. One of his dis
tinguishiug traits was his attention
and kindliness to children.
One evening, while a guest at the
home of noted preacher in the city,
the conversation touched upon the
word GLADIATOR" This was beyond
the ken of his hosts little boy, who
was listening. "Papa," he said, "what
is a gladiator?'
"Never mind, now" replied his
father.
The Bishop, however, was of another
mind. "Come here, my son." he said,
"and I will tell you. A gladiator is
man who indulges in gladiatorial ex
ploits. New York Press.

A FRANK CRITIC.-Governor Roose-

happened while he was visiting Cor.
nell university during a convention.
The students, glad of chance to dis
play their enthusiasm, entertained the
governor at one of their fraternity
houses. Just as he was about to leave
one of his staff said to him:
"Governor, the boys have the foun.
dation of capital library, and l
think they would appreciate a copy OF
the Rough Riders.
"All right, boys" said the govern
or, heartily. "I'll he glad to send you
a copy with my compliments. The
book would be but small return for
your hospitality"
Whereupon one of the students
broke in eXctedly:

KEEPING THEN COVERED. How
many mothers are there who do not
get up cold winter nights to see if the
little ones are covered? Try this
plan, mothers, and save the little folks
from colds and pneumonia, and your
self from worry and the doctors bills
that come to some one of us every
winter just from the children throw
ing the clothes Off and taking sudden
colds. Get four large safety pins
called blanket pins, and fasten the top
cover of the bed down to the mattress,
then see if Joe takes all the cover and
leaves John in the cold, as they always
say. This ought to interest parents as
much as success in raising pigs and
turkeys.

THE STATE FAIR.

The state fair at Mandan this year
promises to excel any event of the
kind in the history of the state. Elab-
crate preparation has been made for
the amusement, entertainment and in
struction Of all visitors, and all who
attend may be assured Of Il successful
event.
The agricultural feature of the fair
will be developed to a greater extent
this year than before, and all farmers
and stock raisers should join to make
it a success Whoever has a product
that he deems worthy of exhibit, let
him exhibit it. In this variety Of
exhibits, farmers and stock raisers
get new ideas and are stimulated to
better and more scientific farming.
The live stock industry is one Of
the coming principal of the
state. The better grades Of stock
raised, the more profitable it will be
for the stockmen. An exhibit of live
olOCh SAlO"S "uul CdIc dAu SOOu
breeding will do. The exhibits should
be general, and the best stock in the
state should be displayed at the fair.
The premium list, program, and gen.
eral description Of the coming fair
appear elsewhere. 1t is a state fair,
and the state in general should be
represented. The Missouri slope
should be especially well represented
because Of the accessibility of the
place in which the fair is held. The
Missouri slope is famed for it's fertil-
ity Of resources. There should be an
especial effort on the part of the slope
further to display it's products before
the world.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT.

The Bismarck Weekly Tribune is the
Oldest newspaper in North Dakota.
Its first issue is dated July II, 1873,
and it has been regularly and uninter-
ruptedly published ver since. The
daily edition was first issued in April,
1881, and has been continuously and
regularly issued eve since. The
Tribune has not enjoyed as large-or
at least as p%opulous-a field as some
other newspapers in the state but we
throw off the cloak Of modesty long
enough to. declare that it stands as
we'll in the locality where it is pub
lished and enjoys as good reputation
abroad as any newspaper in the north
west.
Still we are not satisfied.
We want a wider circulation.
We want every resident of the Mis-
souri, slope to feel that it is q house,
hold necessity.
Outside of Bismarck and the CON
fines Of other cities-where the daily
circulates-we desire to popularize the
Weekly issue.
The Bismarck Weekly Tribune-as
complete, as newsy and as up-to-date
as any weekly in the state in the past,
promises to excel it's former record in
the future. To that end the manage
