thors who have written of the turkey
have regarded It as a descendant Of .
well known wild turkey OF North
America. though some have differed
from this view. believing the marked
differences met with among domestic
turkeys as compared with the differ

that this is not 90.

coming Of wild turkeys into the barn

A Thanksgiving

I17HANkS be to Thee, o God
" Not that Thou set the darken'd sky with light
OF countless stars, framed in soemnty-
But that some soul who suffers in the night
Sees one star through the windows little pane
And, by taat CLEAN of hope, first prays to Thee.
Thanks be TO Thee o God
For throbbng music which the worlds voice thrills:
But most for melody which SINGS alone
The bird in deepest wood-or song that stills
A child to sleep, far from the grand refrain
Ut Fame's great chorus, chanting tunes we'll known.
Thanks be to Thee, o God
For wondrous beauty which Thou gave the earth,
But most for loveliness in barren sod
A green spot in the parch'd grass-the birth
OF some pure, sanity life lived in vain
In haunts of wickedness which know God.
Thanks be to Thee, God
For Autumn harvest men have toied to reap;
For love, for home for laughter through tears,
But most of all for seeds which, in the sleep
OF Winter wait for and Spring time rain,
Holding potential growth for coming years.

The Autobiography Of a Homeless
Kitten.

The following sketch was written as
an exercise in the tenth grade of the
Holly high school:
When / was very small lived with
my mother in a nice barn in the coun-
try. There were FIVE of we kittens
and you can imagine what good times
we had We had a bed in large box
in the hay NOW. There we would
tumble over each other, and some
times we were too careless and would
fall from the loft to the floor. We
spent our time in play for we were too
small to make our living Our moth
er would catch mice and ground squir-
rels and bring them for us to cat.
Then we would all gather around the
feast and get hol6 with our teeth and
paws, then would come the tug OF
war. Each was afraid the others would
get more than himself Our mother
often scolded us for being so naughty.
This would make us feel very badly
and we would promise to do better.
1t was in the summertime and when
John came to milk he always remem-
bered us, he filled large pan with
milk for us. Sometimes Carlo would
come with him. He disliked us very
much and when the milk was placed
in the pan and we were quietly seated
around, he would come dashing on VS.,
swapping and barking. 1t didn't take
very long to put us out of sight or at
least out of his reach. Kittens flew in
all directions, splitting and putting like
small steam engines. Finally our
mother said we were old enough to
earn our living and she refused to pro-
vide for us. Then we didn't have such
an easy time. Johns father said there
were too many Of us and he offered to
give some OF us to lady living near
by. We happened to hear the conver-
sation and hid out We were much
attached to our old home. John
brought some milk in pan and called
for us 4At first we were afraid to go
but the milk looked SO good thar we
yielded to the temptation and soon we
were quietly drinking. The lady then
came out to select one She chose
me because was white; so John pick
| ed me up and gave me to her. She
somothed my glossy coat and said
7 what a. pretty kitty You shall have
good times with Lucy" This was the
name of her little daughter. Lucy was
very fond of me and tied ribbons
around my neck. Size played with me
a great deal. One day her grand
mother was knitting and had some
balls of yarn in a basket which was
sitting on the floor. They looked very
nice to me; so l thought I would have
a play. | took hold of the ball and
turned the basket over The balls of
yarn rolled across the floor. This
made the Grandma very angry She
said she didn't like to have that pesky
kitten in the house. This rather hurt
my feelings but resolved / would
not betray my wounded pride but kept
on playing and snatching at the ball
as it turned in the basket when she
wound the yarn off. She became very
angry and looked around for some-
thing to throw at me. Seeing her
movements l ran across the room and
took refuge under the sofa. The
grandma went out into the kitchen
