STORY or THE TURKEY.
Interesting Facts Concerning the
Thanksqiv.na Bird.

Early In the sixteenth century there
appeared in England, in royal gardens,
two strange birds The smaller was
the guinea fowl from the I,evant. A
popular error ascribed the same habit
tat to the larger, and it was dubbed
turkey. Later the French named IT
dindon, a corruption Of cog dTnde. 1t
had been taken from Mexico to the
West Indies, thence TO Spain and then
to England Having become common,
English settlers carried it to the New
World, In whose forests strutted its
kin.
The turkey belongs to the scratching
birds. There are four species distin-
guished by its plumage markings; the
common wild turkey of the Atlantic
and Central states, Florida turkey, Rio
Grande turkey and Mexican turkey,
the ancestor Of the barnyard variety.
No wonder the gobbler is vain with
his lustrous plumage-gold, green and
bronze, tipped with velvet black; and
his splendid tail which he spreads,
when excited, like an immense fan,
while his wings droop to the ground.
His head is small and bare but adorn-
ed with red wattles and comb. The
short beak Is likewise red On the
breast is a tuft of bristles. The tur-
key weighs from IL 10 80 and even 40
pounds and sometimes measures five
feet from tip to tip. His legs and feet
are stout and strong. If he falls in
flying over a stream he can swim to
shore, for the toes are slightly webbed
The hen is of smaller size and dull.
er hue than the male bird. She con-
ceals her simple nest on the ground,
laying from nine to fifteen creamy,
brown-speckled eggs. The young are
delicate, q rain often proving fatal.
Turkeys associate in focks, roost on
trees, and feed on berries, insects,
grain and nuts, changing quarters in
search of food
Coveted by huntsmen, the wild tur-
key has become rare. Captivity has
lessened the size, but has produced va
riations in coloring in the domestic
turkey, ranging from pure white to en-
tire black.
So essential is the turkey to the din
ner of the day that /: is ever suggest
i've of our American Thanksgiving
Franklin said: Il wish the bald eagle
had not been chosen as the emblem of
our country; he is bird of bad moral
character. The turkey is in
comparison a much more respectable
bird, and withal a true, original native
of America He is besides,
Though little vain and silly, it's true,
but none the worse emblem for that
a bird of courage and would not hest
tate to attack a grenadier of the Brit
isli Guards who should presume to in
wade his farmyard with red coat on"

History recently made in Ohio has
Inst repeated itself in West Virginia
| In way that will add to the popular
disgust for legal and political red tape
The Ohio senate appointed a graft
hunting committee which threatened
to land lot of Cox lieutenants in the
and break up system of
graft which keeps his RACINE in pow
err. The republican house had refused
TOT join with the senate and the repub-
lidan supreme court decided that the
latter body had no power TO nose out
evil by itself. The West Virginia SUI
preme court of appeals has just knock
ed out a senate committee to investi-
gate malfeasance charges against for
mer state officials on the same techni-
nds. Such rulings may make
it necessary for grafters to control
only one branch of legislative body.
q may be good law, but 1t is bad for
bile welfare.

Home team DEFEATS FISHERS men
IN A SENSATIONAL ninth inning
Williams Scores the Run
Which Brings About
Victory.
Enthusiastic Fans Enjoy
Brisk Contest at
Idora Park.

Cal Ewing's refugees from San Fran
cisco plucked and packed away Mike
Fishers raisin-pickers this afternoon in a
baseball game that finished with a SEN
sation that pleased the most particular
fan. Up to the ninth inning the Fisheries
from Fresno were unable to register,
while the refugees had tailed three
times Then Truck Eagan, through AN
error on the part of Wheeler and some
erratic work by Hit, passed in.
Eastwood and Arellanes were left on
the paths for the Raisin-Pckers when
Busher O'Brien marched forth with his
willow 1t was the last chance for the
men from Fresno. With two strikes on
him O'Brien swung against one of Roy
Hits shoots and when the sphere was
returned from center field Eastwood and
Areuanes had scored and the situation
was tied up. Fitzgerald was passed TO
the initial station and Doyle ended the
inning for Mikes men by hitting to
MohIer and forcing Fitzgerald at second.
Williams started the winning streak for
his fellows in the last of the ninth by
slamming safely to center. He travelled
around to third on a sacrifice by Captain
Parke Wilson, fly from Spencer's bat
and came through with the deciding run
on a safe crack to center by Wheeler.
There was an enthusiastic asenibiaSe
in attendance to witness the first ap-
pearance here of Fishers Raisin- pickers
and the first contest of balltossers on the
Idora Park diamond since the beginning
of the new era. President Eugene f.
Bert of the Pacific Coast League, with
Manager Mike Fisher and Manager Cal
Ewing, warmed seats in the grandstand
and received the congratulations of the
fans for the good brand Of baseball they
are giving those who love the national
pastime Following is the work of the
teams told in detail:
