Hace nUeve dias tuvo conocimiento
la policfa de que cerca del rio Turabo
habfa sido encontrada una novilla muer-
ia q puhaladas.
De las averiguaciones que Sc prac-
ticaron acto seguido, result6 que la no.
villa habia sido robada en- las Piedras
junto con una vaca, siendo vendida
don JESUS Hernandez, de esta jurisdic-
ci6n, por Severe Rodriguez, vecino de
Juncos, con residencia en- esta ciudad.
Hecha esta denuncia deIante de tes-
tigos, fue detenido Severe Rodriguez, &

Sc puso en- claro, ademas, tambien
delante de testigos, que habfa vendido
la vaca q Francisco Cintr6n, quien as1 10

En- virtud de clio, Severe Rodriguez
fu6 puesto q disposition del Juez de Paz,
don Raimundo Faura.
Y viene ahora 10 grave improce-

Ell Juez, por ST ante ST, sin que
haya NADIA que pueda justifcar su con-
ducta, Sc presento en- ell dep6sito pnso
en- libertad al ldetenido sin exigirle ianza.
Esto es verdaderamente inaudito.
Por delitos mas insignifcantes suele
pedir ese mismo Juez crecidas fianzas;
pero quizas, en- este case, al proceder
con tanta blandura, 10 habra hecho por
tratarse de algun correligionario suyo,
aunque correligionarios de esa fndole

Si es asi, debe tener en- cuenta ell
iuez Faura que por encima de las ideas
de partido, ha de colocarse ell principle
augusta de la Justicia.
Su proceder en- este punto, no es
digno de las funciones que eierce; y tai

que ineptitud.
No cabe ning1n genero de duda,

announced, as it is embarrassing to
have to stop and sharpen it after an
attempt to carve has been made. To
preserve the knife in proper condition
it should never be used to cut bread
or for any other than the legitimate
purpose for which it was made.
The knife and fork should be held
in an easy, natural manner, and the
tines of the latter should be deep
! enough in the meat to hold it firmly in
| position. 1t is not necessary to grasp
the fork like dagger and stab it
into the meat; this display of force is
net only unnecessary but in bad taste
The hand should be over the handle
of the fork. the palm down and the
forefinger extended.
The carver will avoid the appear,
ance of making hard work of his
duties and refrain from scowl.ng or
contortion of the mouth if a difficult
spot is touched.
While the carver has his dut es to
attend to and there are certain rules
that good taste require him to OBJ
serve, the guests also must remember
that it is out of place for them TO
stare at tie Ca~ver The invitation
was TO dine, and net to take a Lesson

The editor admitted that it had not

1t is headed:
A PROCLAMATION FOR A PUBLIC
THANKSGIVING.
AS the business of the year is now
drawing toward a conclusion, we are
reminded, according to the laudable
Northern Wisconsin advertiser. [volume] (Wabeno, Wis.) 1898-1925, 1903-11-26

First cook your turkey says
turkey cook who has been famous
these many thanksgivings for his
finely Drowned birds, land in cooking
the turkey remember the carver"
The chef, or cock, or assistant or
whatever you may call the one to
whose lot it falls to prepare the
thanksgiving bird, holds the fate of
the carver absolutely in his or her
hands.
The best carver in the world can do
nothing with a tough bird and the
finest knife handler on earth can make
no progress if the turkey be cooked
too much, so as to fall to pieces. The
most skillful manipulation on the face
of the earth will sink into oblivion
if at the first stroke of the knife the
turkey proves underdone and instead
of fair slices he reveals raw meat.
The turkey should be evenly
Drowned, all parts alike. 1t should
be prepared in such a manner that it
lies whole upon the platter without
seam or mar, ready for the knife of
the carver.
The turkey may be dressed in one
of many ways, the simplest being an
ornamentation in the shape of a many
colored paper rosette, and a pair OF
paper cuffs fitted with fringe. At the
head may repose a small bed of water
cress if one has no other decoration
and at the opposite end cushion of
nrocc ~, 1pttnoa or parclav
1t is in the carving of the turkey
now that skill lies, for the turkey
must be distributed, and to do so
nicely requires both previous knowl-
edge and deal of practice.
1t is well to do the carving at
side table. The united gaze of the
family dinner party is often too much
for the housewife, particularly if she
be inexperienced, and the work if
done at side table is much prettier.
There was formerly an idea that the
breast should be carved first, but this
is no longer considered the classic
style. The latest note in turkey cary
ing says that the bird must be taken
first at the legs, then the second
and finally the rack.
This sounds easy, but to accomplish
it successfully is hard.
Let the amateur carver look we
to her knife. 1t should be long
blade, very sharp and very thin.
There are special carving knives that
come for large birds and are well
shaped for the work they are to per-
fom
To Sever the Leg.
Take the fork in the left hand and
plunge it in the breast SO that the
tines are at each side of the breast
bone, to give it a firm hold Press
downward with the left hand and
then, with the right, get firm stroke
that sewers the leg from the body. Do
not let the knife waver, but press it
closely against the body of the bird
and cut inward, not outward. Cut eff
the leg, second joint and all.
Now comes the carving of the Sec
ond joint. Lay the leg on a small
platter and slice eff the sides in such
a way as to secure two long, narrow
slices. Now, still holding the fork in
the leg, sever the first joint from the
second, and the result will be per-
fectly divided leg. This gives really
four portions to the leg and allows
dark neat for all.
Turn the platter around, If you are

carves. There should never be care
lessness about it, even if the only
spectators are the wife and children.
All who have gone over the ground
for themselves will heartily join in
the admonition not ~ make the first
attempt in the art of carving at a
company dinner.
There is no reason why woman
should not excel as a carver nor that
she should not learn the art Strength
is not required so much as neatness
and care. A firm, steady hand, a cool,
| collected manner and confidence in
oneself will help wonderfully. 1t is
fact that most parents are remiss in
rot allowing the children to become
good carvers through permitting them
to take this duty on themselves at
the family dinners. They can be
quickly and easily taught and there
will net be the excuse for the explain
alton that is so often made in the
! days when they have households OF
their own that the father always did
the carving at home and the children
never learned

Taking Off the Wings.

ly known as the drumstick.
Taking Off the Wings.
The wings must now be taken off,
first enc wing, then another The first
stroke cuts the joint, the second
stroke sewers the wing. 1t is good
plan to divide these also one part
from the other, or to slice the wing
a little for turkey wing, whole, is
really a very pretentious piece of
meat.
After the wing is cut off there re-
mains the possibility of a very pretty
slice. 1t is called the wing slice. 1t
lies just over the wing and takes in
the portion where the wing was One
large slice, of semicircular shape,
can be cut off each side of the bird. 1t
is white meat, but more delicate than
the breast and is priced by those who
look fer delicate morsels.
All that now remains of the turkey
is breast and rack, ard the important
and picturesque task of slicing the
breast is to be performed. Take the
knife firmly in the hand, plant the
fork in the breastbcne and Slice slow
ly and carefully. Keep the slices
even and let them fall side by side
upon the platter. Make the slices as
thin as possible and keep them as
large in size as the knife will allow
Large, thin slices are considered very
delicate.
"The choicest bit of the turkey les
at the back, just at the lower part of
the backbone. There are two small
cavities here that hold two curved
pieces of dark meat, known as gour
mands or the tidbits. A story is told
of an epicure who, having ordered
roast turkey at an inn, arrived and sat
down to the table. When he had
departed the innkeeper and his wife
entered. To their surprise and chag
rim, the turkey lay upon the platter
untouched. There it was in all it's
original beauty On turning it over
they found two small incisions at the
back and out of these had been
taken the two boat-shaped pieces of
meat The tidbit had been eaten
and the epicure was satisfied. In
large turkey these two pieces are very
good sized and really form good
sized portion.
The rack can be carved if there are
any who desire pieces of it, but it is
usually not an ornamental thing to
place upon the plate and is left for
the soups and the leftover dishes. AS
a left over it is highly valued for it's
possibilities.
1t is comparatively a slight matter
to carve a solid mass of lean meat. 1t
is the bony, tough gristle and tendons
that interfere with the easy progress
of the knife. To expect anyone to
carve well without any conception of
the internal structure of what may
be placed before him is as absurd as
to expect one to amputate a limb sue
cessfully who has no knowledge OF
human anatomy.
Some notion of the relative position
of bones, joints, fat, tough and tender
muscles is the first requisite to good
carving. All agree that skill in
carving may be acquired by practice.
and so it may. Anyone can divide
joint if he cut and hack at it long

not skillful enough to cut from the
other side without turning the plat
ter, and cut the leg off at the ether
side in the same way.

ond joint, sever it from the part usual

Neatness is Essential.


One of the first things to be learned
is to carve neatly, without scattering
the crumbs or splashing the gravy
over the cloth CT platter. 1t is also
necessary to learn how to cut smooth,
even slices of uniform size This may
seem very easy to the new beginner,
but he will socn think otherwise and
find that some degree of skill is neces-
sary, and that a practical lesson in
carving and learning by experience is
the only way he can be certain of his
ability to do this. There is another
point that the carver has to keep con-
stantly in mind, and that is to divide
the material in such a manner that
each person at the table may be
served equally we'll 1t is sometimes
the case that one person will receive
all flank or hard, dry wing and the
plate next to him will have all of the
choicest parts.
After a little experience the carver
soon learns what are the choice parts
and how to so shape his cuts as to
properly divide these. A part of the
art of carvings is the placing the por-
tons on the plate in the proper man
ner. This should always be done with
the Drowned or best side up, and no
plate should be helped to large por-
ton of bone and little meat One of
the surest tests of the skillful carver
is in the shape that the fowls is left
after all have been helped. This
should not present a rough and jag
ged appearance, but should look in
viting enough to tempt one to desire
a second portion.
Knife Should be Sharp.
An essential aid to carving and one
often overlooked is that the plat
ter be not only large enough to hold
the fowl when whole but also the sew
eral parts as they are detached. The
fowl should be placed in the middle
placed near the carver, so that he CT
she may easily reach every part of
the fowl or joint, There is no fixed
rule that the carver shall stand or sit;
either position may be assumed as
suits the individual
The condition of the knife should
