A BOYS COMPOSITIONS.
what He Knows About Turkeys
Their Habits, WeaLnesses and 4
Ultimate Destinations. J..

In the geography we read about
Turkey in Asia and Turkey in Europe,
with the capital city. Constantinople,
near the strait called Bosphorus. But
we now write regarding turkey in the
United States. and he is the boss
for U.S. u. =. :.:.s G,.-s,,~@ =
He is a very fine fowl, and just as
anxious to go headlong into a fight as
the country for which he is named.
Two years ago last summer, when
was little boy-I am not very big
yeti was in Ohio visiting some rela-
tives. <<.sss:. ,*s-.1-@. - e
One day when playing in the barn
yard / saw very large turkey-gob-
bier. People call them gobblers, not
because they gobble everything they
can eat but because they talk way
down in their: throats: and the only
word they can say is ''gobble," and
that word they say over and over
again with a great flourish of their
wings and tail. I
/, Well, had on short trousers, long
red stockings and red necktie. The
turkey did not see me at first, but I
saw him. and said "gobble" once or
twice. do not know exactly how
many times did say it, but am sure
it was not more than twice, for when
he heard me and saw my red stock
ings he made for me with all sails
spread. .r.<ls
His face turned as red as fire, and
he gave me to understand that that
word "gobble' was his word. I be-
lieve he was bigger than baby car
riage, and about the shape of one,
too.
was scared, and I fairly flew to a
corncrib close by, ran in and shut the
door behind me. Then man came
and drove him away.
The saddestspart of this true story
is that I did not get to stay and help
eat that old gobbler on the next
Thanksgiving day. w.
AS soon as I got safely out of that
corncrib + went to the house and
changed my stockings and necktie.
Red was an unhealthy color to wear
in that barnyard.
The first settlers Of this country did
not have Thanksgiving day very regu-
lar, but when they did they also had
roasted turkey.
There were a great many wild tur-
keys in those days, and they were
fatter and nicer in November than any
other month in the year. One turkey
and few pumpkin pies would make
a meal for a family.
The turkey could be found in the
woods and the pumpkins in the corn
field.
I sometimes feel sorry for the tur-
keys about this time of the year. But
I would rather be a. turkey-gobbler
than a goose. It is hard to tell which
has the ugliest voice. Both have a
sad time Of it in November and De-
cember.-Golden Days.

NATURE KIND IN CALIFORNIA
A Country Where the Farmer II Not
Subjected to the Rigors Of Sc
; we're Weather.

The New England farmer must for.
tify himself in his stronghold against
the seasons. He must be ready to
adapt himself to a year that permits
him to prosper only upon decidedly
hard terms. But the Californian in
the country has, during the drought,
more leisure, unless, indeed, his ambi-
tion for wealth too much engrosses
him, says the international Monthly.
His horses are plenty and cheap. His
fruit crops thrive easily. He is able
to supply his table with fewer pur-
chases with less commercial inde-
pendence. His position is, therefore
less that of the knight in his castle
and more that Of the free dweller in
the summer cottage, who is, indeed,
not at leisure, but can easily deter
mine how he shall be busy. It is of
little Importance to him who his next
neighbor is. At pleasure he can ride
or drive to find his friends; can
choose, like the southern planter Of
former days, his own range of hos
pitality; can devote himself, If man
Of cultivation, to reading during :
good many hours at his. own choice,
or, il 9 man Of sport, can find during
g great part of the year easy oppor-
.tunities for hunting or for camping
both by himself and for the young
people Of his family. g. s:5sssss
In the dry season he knows before
hand what engagements can be made
without regard to the state Of the
weather, since the state Of the wealth
er Is predetermined.

HOUSEHOLD ACCIDENTS.
How to Treat Slight Cuts and
Scratches and r. educe Pain Result
' ing from Burns.


There are some accidents which are
almost unavailable in the hurry nec-
essary in housework. Burns and cuts
which are trivial in themselves, but if
unattended to may lead to serious re-
suits, are a familiar occurrence in the
kitchen. Slight cuts may be serious
if they are not purified by dipping in
some antiseptic preparation. The
best and safest to use in the house
is two per cent. solution of car
bolic acid. It is not in the least dam
gerous, as it is diluted, but it should
be kept with the other medicines in a
cabinet or high shelf of closet. All
that is necessary is to pour little Of
the solution over the wound or dip
it in and then wrap it up with clean
cloths. The wound will heal much
more rapidly than if it were exposed
Ito air and the danger Of disease germs.
A scratch from % cat or some other
trivial wound, which child or grown
person may receive, should be cauter-
lied mildly by winding cloth dipped
in ammonia around it, or by the use
of the carbolic solution. .=.,-
The best remedy for burn is sweet
oil and lime water. but if this is not
at hand use paste Of baking soda
and water .or of -four and water,
which may be applied more quickly.

AN INDIAN TRAGEDY.

bleeding when the fight was over. Two
of them were dead; two Of them dying.
Eagle Feather, gssping, was laid in
the arms of Mocking-Bird and dumb
and dry-eyed she watched his life go
out. And long after the heart was
still she sat on the ground, dumbly
holding to- him as if she would not
have him go.
Then, ip the silence of the night she
slipped out Of the low doorway, turned
toward the sluggish river that Tapped
the fringe of the forest, and from the
low bank, under which the quartered
moon shimmered, she dropped into the
water almost without a sound.

CHOPPIE. THE TRAVELLER.

With whiskers long and snowy white,
!! And eyes Of shining green.
This little pet is our delight,
A beauty to be seen.
Choppie crossed the Atlantic between
London and New York, and several
winters were passed in Florida. f.
'Choppie had a padded basket to
travel in, where he would stay SO
quietly that his fellow-passengers
never knew of his existence. At the
various hotels where they lived this
wise cat would softly creep into a
bureau drawer while his mistress
went to her meals, and never at
tempted to come out until she re-
turned with his portion of food.
Choppie was always fond of music,
and when his little mistress would
play the piano he would curl himself
up on one end of it, and softly purr
with half-closed eyes while listening
to his favorite melodies.-N.. Y. Trib-
