tunity to break the joke of ancient
days, when he sayeth:
''Lo, this is turkey; even so, and
not a centipede.
And he beginneth to cut off the
wing.
But he faileth, because he knoweth
not that it is easier to break the joint
than to cut the bone.
And he wrestleth nightly with the
turkey.
He choppeth it in his rage;
And his eyes take on the glare of a
great wrath, even as the glare of the
man who sitteth upon the tack.
And he stabbeth the turkey in the
neck,
And in the fifth rib,
And in the solar plexus,
And he whirleth it upon the plat
ter,
So that the grease, and the dress
ing and the shavings of the turkey
fly even unto the uttermost corners
of the room.
Yea, then he fain would cover up
his anger and his wrath by saying;
"Lo, it is written that the grease of
the turkey is good for the freckles
that do polkadot the faces of women"
Whereupon the wit of the table, he
that is called by the newspapers ''the
soul of the occasion, remarketh:
"Verlly, it is better as an inward
treatment"
Yet in the fulness of time the tur-
key is carved, even as a man whittleth
stick.
Yet when the carver riseth from the
table, behold there is a gizzard in his
vest pocket;
And his shirt front looketh like a
crime
And his beard is garnished with
the dressing;
And his heart is sore within him,
and soul is nightly worked up, and
his anger consumeth him;
And he blameth it on his wife, but
unto himself he sayeth:
"Verily, the man who maketh the
freak election bet is as Solomon COM
pared unto me.
YEA, he who purchaseth the gold
brick is tower of wisdom beside me,
for verify thought l was a carver,
Wherefore am undone, and find
that am simply peeler,
And a poor one at that
Yea, surely it is so.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 80, 1900.
NIaryland's Steady Growth.

The population of Maryland, as
given out by the Census Bureau,
shows continuous, though not very
rapid, growth. 1t will be difficult to
convince the public that a blunder
was not made in taking the census of
Baltimore, without which the sum
total might have been considerably
larger. But, blunder or no blunder,
the State has increased in population
in 10 years IA per cent. and in 90 years
27per cent. Nor has the growth been
confined to the city; some of the coun-
ties have made marked gains. Balti-
more county, for instance, whose pop
ulation was reduced more than ten
thousand by the large slice annexed
to the city, has bounded forward
again, and has nearly ten thousand
inhabitants more than in 1880, before
annexation occurred.
This is a great gain, and due mainly
to the establishment or enlargement
of industrial enterprises within her
limits, which, there is reason to be-
lieve, will continue to multiply. AL
legany and Anne Arundel have both
made great gains. Caroline, on the
Eastern Shore, has jumped from
13,903 in 1890 to 16,240 in 1900 This
is partly due to the efforts of the In
migration Bureau, which has done
its work without much help from the
State beyond the payment of the Of
ficers' salaries. The question arises
whether the bureau, properly sus-
tanned, could not do as much for a
number of the other counties which
now appear to be at standstill with
regard to population. Cecil and Har-
ford have both lost during the 10
years since 1890 The failure of some
industries in the latter county will
account for the small decline, but
why Cecil should recede is not appar-
ent, though it may possibly be traced
to the same cause.
Only three of the counties have
actually receded in population, and
many of the others show gratifying
increase. Some of these are in part
of the State from which little was ex-
pected, not because they are undesir-
able, but because they are almost
destitute of modern means of com
munication and transportation, and
are, therefore, not so well known to
the thrifty in search of spots which
they convert into homes. 1t is evil
dent that some enterprising people
have found out the advantages to be
had in these counties, in spite of their
comparative isolation, and they will
doubtless in time induce others to
come. No State in the Union con
tains within itself more of the re-
sources for steady and solid growth
than Maryland.

The Thanksgiving Carver.

Behold the man who carveth the
Thanksgiving turkey.
Verify, he hath bitterness of heart,
and vexation of spirit, and gravy on
his vest, ere he endeth the carving.
Yea, he maketh himself a byword
and reproach, and source of laugh
ter, and an object of scorn and CON
tumely.
Consider how boldly he approach
eth the task
How that he seizeth the knife, and
whetteth it, even as he hath seen the
butcher in the market place whet his
knife;
And he taketh the fork, and seek
eth to insert it into the inside facts of
the turkey.
Yet the turkey hardeneth itself, and
and the fork glanced off and shatter-
eth a cut glass tumbler.
And the man smileth gladly, and
seeketh to conceal the broken glass
in his napkin.
Yet again he would poke the fork
through the armament of the turkey,
That he may cut therefrom the
white meat and the dark.
And the fork slippeth once again,
and rippeth two yards of the costly
table linen, which was bought for a
price, and is only used when the rich
relations come to dinner.
And the hostess smileth a smile that
is full of the sweetness of joy, yet in
her heart she thinketh words that
would have to be cut out of polite
vaudeville turn.
Howsoever and peradyenture, the
man catcheth the turkey unawares
and pierceth it with the fork.
Whereupon every one about the
table, yea, even every one, sayeth
that he wanteth the leg;
Which giveth the man the oppor-

Thou pie!
Proud, rich defendant of
The House of Mince,
In making which the housewife
Nothing stints,
The hour draws nigh
When thou
Toward our inmost midst shall
Glide,
There to repose and
Painfully abide,
Bathed but unharmed by all the
Gastric flood
And
Sending
Restless fevers through
Our blood
Until our erstwhile
Peaceful couch
Is changed
Unto den of animals that ranged
The prehistoric earth.-In
Dreams we see
The red-winged hippopotamus,
The three
Heads of the yellow
Dragon,
Darling fangs of
Snakes.
While wild orang-outangs
Play tag
Across the counterpane
And birds
OF aspect strange beyond all
Human words
Shrek
Madly; till at last
The form appears
OF some
Great-great great at-grandnother
Who cheers
Our sleep with words that make
Us cold as ice
And chide because we took
That second slice
Thus do
The souls of all the
Unknown things
Whereof thou'rt made
Come back
To haunt our couch in
Grim parade;
Until awaking with an
Awful groan
We swear to let thee
Evermore
Alone
Thus firm our
Resolutions made-and yet
AS months roll on we
Very soon
Forget,
And go through all
These hideous scenes next year.
When once again
Thanksgiving-time draws near.

CNNf'N'
A glance at these figures tells the
story of the steady increase of the
growth of the counties. Baltimore
county shows a remarkable increase
of population-over 19,000-but it is
quite likely that large proportion
of this increase consists of former res
idents of Baltimore who have moved
into suburban hamlets, and who are
engaged in business in the city, so
that the county's increase accounts
in large part for the small increase of
the city's population in the past de-
cade.
Only three counties show decrease
in population-Cecil, Hartford and
Queen Annes. Cecil county, though
regarded as one of the most prosper
GUS counties in the State, has been
steadily shrinking in population. In
1890 the population had decreased by
1857 residents, and now the decrease
amounts to 1,190. Hartford, too, shows
a decreasing vitality, its population
now being only 227 more than it was
90 years ago, and 1856 less than it was
in 1890. Queen Annes, like Cecil, is
steadily decreasing, although the de-
crease in the past ten years was only
81, as against 1913 in the preceding de-
cade. st. Marys, which 10 years ago
had lost nearly 1000, has made a
handsome increase of over g, 200 in the
past 10 years.
