The Thanksgiving oocoocoo.

The original name of the turkey was
Oocoocoo, by which it was known by
the native Cherokee Indians. 1t is
supposed that our Pilgrim Fathers,
roaming through the woods in search
of game for their first Thanksgiving
spread heard the Oocoocoo calling in
the familiar tones of our domesticated
fowl, Turk, turk, turk" These first
Yankee huntsmen. mistaking this
cry of the bird for it's real song, i'm
mediately labelled it turkey" and
turkey it is to this day. Much more
beautiful and musical was the Indian
name, "Oo-coo-coo," the notes peculiar
to the flock when summing themselves

Although days of thanksgiving,
especially for the fruits of the earth.
have been customary in all ages of
the world and in connection with
every form of religion, Thanksgiving
day as an annual harvest home and
family reunion under Christian aus
pieces is a purely American institu-
ton and, outside of New England, is
of comparatively recent origin.
AS a national holiday it began in
the hea1 and heart of Abraham Lin
coin, who proclaimed Nov. 26, 1865,
as thanksgiving day for the stimuli
taneous victories of Gettysburg and
Vicksburg on July 4 and for the
abundant harvests of that year, and
Nov. "a, 1864, as thanksgiving day
for similar blessings.
There had been other days set
apart for thanksgiving during the
war, but these were the first of the
unbroken series in the month of No
vember. President Johnson con-
tlnued the custom out of respect for
Mr.. Lincoln, and it has been instinc-
lively recognized by every president
since. In several states the COVER
nors also make coincident proclama-
tions.
Though at present mostly a hal
lowed memory, Thanksgiving day,
when it was in it's prime, was one
OF the noblest and most delightful
things in American civilization Time
was when on this day all the churches
were thronged with cheerful and de-
vout worshipers, and the ministers,
speaking from bowers of corntops
and sheaves of wheat and pyramids
OF pumpkins and red apples, moved
every heart by their tribute to the
divine goodness.

Weak and unhealthy kidneys are responsible
for many kinds of diseases, and if permitted to
continue much suffering and fatal results are
sure to f0tiO1. Kidney trouble irritates the
nerves. makes you dizzy, restless sleepless and
irritable. Makes you pass water often during
the day and obliges you to get up many times
during the night. Unhealthy kidneys cause
rheumatism, gravel, catarrh of the bladder, pain
or dull ache in the back, joints and muscles;
make your head ache and back ache, cause indi-
gestion, stomach and liver trouble, you get q
sallow, yellow complexion, make you feel as
though you had heart trouble; you may have
plenty of ambition, but no strength; get weak
and waste away.
The cure for these troubles is DR.. Kilmer's
