ORIGIN OF "TALK TURKEY.

Man Was Trying to Overreach.

Retort of an Indian Whom a white
Man Was Trying to Overreach.
A man who listened to some spell
binder" every evening for three weeks
during the recent municipal campaign,
according to the New York Times, said
the other day:
Campaign orators do not always
have time or occasion to explain ex-
pressions used in driving home argu-
guments. They must necessarily de-
pend upon their audiences to see the
point through apt applications of such
expressions. have in mind one-to
talk turkey'-repeatedly used. The
story Of its origin is as follows:
1.-TWO men, an Indian and white
man, agreed to hunt together for day
and to divide the spoils. When the
time came there was no difficulty in ap'
portioning the smaller birds and ami
mals-one Of a kind TO each. At last
they reached the last pair, crow anc
turkey.
Now, says the white man, with
great show Of fairness, you may have
the crow and I'll take the turkey, or III
take the turkey and you may have the
crow.
HUH says the Indian. why yor
no talk turkey to me?'"

Adventure with Rattlesnak es

Fred Harris, an express messenger

ence which he does not care to repeat
He was on train No. %, and just after
leaving Centralia, ILL.,, settled back into
his chair and dropped into a doze. He
was awakened shortly by tickling
under his chin and drowsily opened his
eyes to discovered the coils of an
enormous snake lying across his breast

Harris made all former records for in
Simultaneous and lightning moves in

while one snake is bad. several are
worse in q geometrical proportion, and
he was soon on pile of baggage sur

tiles were a consignment from Tampa

escape while Mr.. Harris slept.

Designers and Builders Who Had Vivid
Imag nations.


In the neighborhood of Stamford
street, in the southeast of London,
there is a chimney shaped after the
likeness OF huge coffin. II Is made up
OF dark-colored bricks, and presents
an appearance which is gloomy to the
point OF depression. This quaint erec-
ton, curiously enough, Is well nigh
unnoticed by the inhabitants OF the
district. many of whom are quite
unaware of its presence in their midst.
small music hall in a southern city
or France Is decorated with a chimney
shaped to resemble a man. The figure
Is attired In frock coat and silk hat,
while huge metal tube, painted
brown and representing cigar, re-
poses In the lips of the queer appa-
ratus. From this cigar" the smoke
issues in great black clouds, and so
realistic is the whole contrivance when
regarded from the street below that at
first sight the spectator is led to believe
that a fashionably attired gentleman
Is enjoying a weed on the theater roof.
Curious chimneys abound in all quar-
tiers Of the globe. In several American
cities 1t is no uncommon occurrence to
encounter wine TASKS, the base OF the
erections being swathed in straw-col-
ored woodwork to resemble the baskets
wherein such TASKS usually recline.
Perhaps, however, one Of the most pc
culiar chimneys in the world is that
which is to be seen in a Roumanian
township. and which is known by the
name Death Funnel" 1t represents
skeleton some fifty feet in height, and
is built throughout of gun metal. The
shaft is conveyed upward through the
spine of the figure and the smoke is
sues from the apex of the skull. Veri-
tably, a CHASTITY chimney, and one
would have imagined that the eccen-
tric millionaire who thus adorned his
roof top might have hit upon some less
gruesome means of enhancing his repu-
tation for extravagant whimsicality.

CHAPTER III

DECLINED, WITH THANKS.
Somehow Overton felt better after
this little chat with the miniature
knowledge Of Fedora's weakness she
had not been able to give him much
encouragement. In fact, she seemed
to accept II as a settled fact that the
girl he loved would sacrifice him on
the altar OF Mammon, but the very
contact with such CHEEKY nature as
that OF Mazette was bound to exert
helpful influence upon him.
He was standing at the corner OF
Chancery Lane, debating the moment
GUS question as to where he should
bestow the favor Of his patronage for
supper, when he was given something
of a staggering shock, for there, with
in ten feet Of him, seated In hanson,
and evidently trying to attract his at
tention, was the identical bronzed
and bearded gentleman whom he had
seen some hours before at Fedora's
side in the handsome turnout. bound
for Rotten Row.
In this distinguished parsonage
Overton at once and instinctively rec
ognized the rival whom he had to
meet on uneven terms.
The gentleman had now a fair look
at his face, and Immediately Jumped
out Of his cab,
Pardon me-" said he. In a deep
voice that somehow grated on Jacks
ears, perhaps because he had already
conceived a deadly feeliag or enmity

said quietly.
The other looked grimly pleased.
They walked along together as well
as the crowded condition of the street
would permit, until finally they reach

the strangely matched couple plunged.

room, vis-a-vis with Captain Liver
