4 day or so before Thanksgiving one of
the turkeys of the flock fed by the lady
when the gem was lost was killed that il
might adorn the festive Thanksgiving
board BY a peculiar coincidence the
same lady was again visiting at the
house. The crop of the turkey was I'M
usually large and distended. and when
opened was found to contain a handful
of corn. two suspender buttons somewha
