WHO SENT TURKEY
TO THE GOVERNOR?

TRENTON, Nov. 30:-Governor
Stokes is wrestling with new prob
lem worse than trying to figure out
why the assembly went democratic
last election. The governor received
yesterday from friends in Ohio live
turkey Being bachelor Governor
Stokes is puzzled as to the disposi-
ton of the bird.
Temporarily Colonel Edward c..
Fox, the executive clerk, has taken
charge of the fowl, and has it corral
ed at his home, 3 Tyler street. The
present proposition is to fatten the
turkey for Christmas. The bird was
a large one and came by express. It's
advent into the State House caused
much surprise.
AS no letter arrived with it Gov
ernor Stokes does not yet know who
sent it.

the door and walked up to the old

his eye.

Cautiously he approached the man

until with swift and more dextrous
movement than one would have deem

thing out and held it at arms length

round gray eyes, long, sharp nose,
and wicked little white teeth
Uncle Jack S cracked old voice
sounded forth such shout of delight
that it reached Narcisse in the kit

to see the old man almost bounding
up the path swinging his captive in
one hand, his old hat in the other,
leaving his bald, black pate glistening
in the sun.
He was entirely out of breath. and
incapable of speech, but no words
were needed from him. Aunt Mar
cisse was equal to the emergency.
