In Kentucky. as in Rhode Islam" the

have always been regarded as difficult

the epidemics and other ills of civilian

heirs. The birds are provided with
neither shelter nor rOOStS even in win

spring are furnished with half barrels
for nests. hut there is as little interfer-

grasshoppcrs are considered the best
turkey food. Cornmeal. which is more

The eagle is II pirate; he cannot sing
and his beauty is greatest ut distance.
All lie can do is to soar aloft. and,
While his single stunt may be EN-
blematic of freedom. il is of Il freedom

Solomon in all his glory never ate

His pluma@e ranks him little lower
than the peacock. while his "gobbie"
makes music compared to the hOarSe
scream Of the far dying eagle. All he
lives for is to enhance the joy of his
human friends. Then, too, he is dis
tinctly an American. The bald eagle
is, it is true, also an aborigine, but
there are other eagles. The car. the
kaiser and the emperor of Austria bear
eagles on their shields. The turkey
was never even heard of in Europe be-
fore the voyage of Columbus. For
nearly -four authenticated centuries the
turkey has roasted on his genealogical!
tree in the forests of America. and be-

The first turkey appeared in written
history about the year 1920 when the
Spanish conqucrors of Mexico found
L. Of
mems of the new fowl We're sent home
to Spain by the companions of Cortes.
and within five years thereafter the
turkey appeared in England, where lie
soon became Il general favorite. Civil
and natural history had not then been
reduced to an exact science, ana in the
common confusion of America with the
Indies the turkey became involved.
The name Turkey was then often used
as Il synonym for the orient; hence the
erroneous Irpellation which the bird
has never been able to shake off. The
French made the same mistake. for
they call the turkey to this day dinde
or COZ d'lnde Qndian cOckl. However.
the turkey by another name would
taste no sweeter, and popular disappro-
bation of the sultan has never extend
ed to the fowl which hears his coun-
try's name.
1t is moot question among Orni-
biologists whether the present day tur-
key is descendant of the Mexican
bird domcsticated in England and
brought back to America by the pill
grim fathers or is the wild turkey OF
the United States tanned. Whatever the
tame turkeys remotest origin, the
breeders frequently introduce into their
flo, ks wild turkeys captured in the
woods or raised from eggs to give
stamina and the gamy taste so priced

THANKSGIVING DAY
AMONG INDIANS

The Indians of the southwest have
accepted Thanksgiving day along with
other customs of their white neigh
bors, though they have adapted it to
their savage ideals until it bears lit
tie resemblance to the festival insti-
tuted by the pilgrim fathers. The gov
ernment agents on the reservations
of Oklahoma and Indian Territory have
in recent years fixed upon Thankssiv-
ing day as the date for the great beef
issues and the payment of annuities,
and their ruddy wards are in conSc-
quence provided not only with good
cause for thankfulness, but with the

TO help them to turkey first. They
have probably skipped one or two
meals to be in shape for the feast and
are hungry enough to start a riot.
