THE NATIONAL FEAST.
anksgivinG's Chief Feature Is n
True American Bird.

The chief feature of the national
feast is national bird. The turkey
Notwithstanding DR.. Samuel johnson in
his dictionary defined him as "a large
domestick fowl supposed to be
brought from Turkey" is true Amer
lean. Not a hint of the existence of
this prince of fowls had the civilized
nations of the earth ever heard until
the year 1854, when the ancient voy-
ayers dropped anchor off AXacan, now
in North Carolina, then a part of what
was called Virginia, and, making Il
landing one beautiful day in midsum-
mer, reported that they had seen deer,
snow white cranes and certain large
bird which epicures have since learned
to worship under the name of turkey.
His merits We're quickly discovered
by the early "eXplOrers and adventure
erS' from other countries, as the jour
nails of Captain John Smith, William
Dyrd and their contemporaries attest,
and it was not long before he was to be
found on the tables of Europe Brillat-
Savarin, of gastrOnomic and literary
fame, called him the most beautiful
present made by the new world to the
old Formerly very abundant the
wild turkey is now to be found only
in small tiocks here and there in the
secluded glades of the Allegheny and
Blue Ridge mountains, in the Florida
wilds and on the plains of the far
southwest. Domestcated, the turkey
thrives and multiplies the world over.
Handsome, golden, done to a turn,
scenting the room enough to tempt Il
saint" and served with that peculiarly
savory New England production, cram
berry sauce, no one will dispute the
turkeys right to the sovereignty of the
Thanksgiving feast.

Angela dropped the tongs upon the
iron hearth. and they made a noise that
was echoed in the old square piano in the
corner. For some occult reason these
hOmcly sounds assumed an alarming
character III iii" young mans ears, but
Angela picked up the tongs very calmly
and put them in their proper place with
great dclihcrHtion.

would have been comical in less serious

"and in no respect more than this of
marriage. Married people lead a freer
life nowadays. They know the value of

be afraid of being tied too closely to me.
You shall have every opportunity to lead
your own life. Iou shall have your own
apartments, of course, your own servants,
your own separate income, and | will

She looked at him steadily for mo-
ment and the glance went through his
heart like an iccc 1t walked him. lie
remembered in flash that this girl was
the daughter of the ShrewdeSt race on
earth. lie saw that by the simplest
strategy she had made him disclose what
the word marriage had always meant to

If all this had not been true, Angela
would not have believed it. but it was
true, and she did believe it. Then there
was Il real love scene. which began in the

ended very cOnventionally in the display

TIMBER CUTTING CASES
The Difficulty in Graham County
 rlusf Be Settled Right.

& J .Holsinger, special agent of the interior department. returned home yesterday from Tucson, where he has been in attendance upon a session of the United States court. In an inter view regarding the trouble that has been going on some time in Graham county over the cutting of timber on government land and the confiscation of the wood, Mir. Holsinger said that the whole matter had been referred to the department of justice al Washing ton. where it will be fully investigated and settled up without delay whether the decision was made for or against the special agent.
 This wood business has been given a great deal of prominence and been made the subject of Q great deal of newspaper talk, but in reality it is q small affair outside of the principle at stake. When MT. Holsinger's report was first made there was 1,346 cords of it. but in some way they got away with all but 960 cords. The Wood was advertised and sold and 800 cords Of it were shipped. leaving 160 cords yet to be disposed of. Of this there was but 100 cords of it over which there was any dispute. It was claimed that this 100 cords was cut on patented land. The government position is that the wood having been seized and duly ad- vertised for sale and the claimants not proving or attempting to prove that the wood came from patented land, and the wood having been commingled with wood acknowledged to be cut from government land, to such an extent that it is impossible to separate it, they have forfeited all right 10 protest at this time.
 To illustrate that he had tried to be more than fair with those claiming the wood, MT. Holsinger stated that at the time of his first report he told the claimants that if they would bring tive men to swear that the wood or any part of it was cut on deeded land he would segregate il from the rest, but they said it was too much trouble and preferred to let 1t go. In his desire 10 give the people that cut the wood all that he possibly could under the law, hIr. Holsinger went even further. Be- fore carrying out the orders to cOnfis cate the wood he corresponded with the department fully. requesting that 1t accept the stumpage rate of 50 cents |
 
 on that basis. The reply was impera- | tive, however, that the orders must be carried out. Then followed his pro- posal to set aside all that could be | proved by affidavit had been taken from patented land.
 Regarding the wood that was burned | on the cars the other day after it's sale, it is believed to have been the result | of spite work. but is a matter for settlement now between the purchasers and the railroad company. The gov ernment, of course, like all local off cers. is doing all it can to find out who the guilty parties are.
 As for the people of the Gila valley 1dr. Holsinger entertains the highest regard for them. They are an enter prising and industrious people and he has received many courtesies at their hands. He says he feels sure that he has the support of all the good people Of the valley and has received their testimonials to that effect. He is in
