REDONDO BEACH, Jan. ia
NO. l. the famous rover who for more

TOUR different languages. He has ho-
poed 45S,461 miles and paid but 81 81
railroad fare. For each relay of the
Journey he has the records and neces-
sary affidavits to prove that the rec

His advent into the city was NOT
heralded in advance, but was an
nounced by himself as he emerged
from the lower section of a comfort
able looking box car and calmly re-
moved his suit of jumpers, revealing
a neat tailored suit.
A No. 1 does not drink, smoke, chew
nor gamble and does not solicit do

much as hogs, and for that reason no
profit could be had from raising them for
market. Now we calculate that one bird
pays tho cost of raising twenty. Where
all the food has to be bought of course
the profit would not be so large. Women
from other sections OF Kansas assure me
that a turkey is no harder to raise than
a chicken. Since it Is so much larger and
the price so much higher the profit must
be greater.
THE grasshopper that we have to tight
in the alfalfa belt is not the migrating one.
1t is a native and the increase from year
to year in the alfalfa fields is wonderful.
1t destroys the seed crop by eating out a
portion Of the slender juicy stem support
ing the tiny curled seedpod, So great a
pest has the grasshopper proved itself to
be in our section that several machines for
gathering them have been invented. My
husband and several of our %neighbOrs now
believe that turkeys are better than any
Of these machines, besides, having the ad-
vantage of being money producers.
Two Deadly Enemies.
Turkeys in our section nave two enc
mics. The first is the coyote, which for
t~unately can be seen at a considerable
distance, At the sight of this enemy a
flock Of turkeys will rise as one bird and
fly toward the house. During the time
that we have been raising turkeys ! have
lost only seven from depredations Of
coyotes.
1.-THE other enemy is the disease known
as the blackhead. This disease is due to
a germ that enters the body Of the turkey
through unsanitary food or drink. So far
as / know, there is no cure once the bird
becomes infected. As with many other
diseases In the poultry yard, one ounce
Of prevention Is worth many pounds OF
cure. The best preventive so far as ]
have been able to judge from my expert
ences is a strong constitution. Perhaps
the best way to supply this strong con-
stitution is to avoid inbreeding.
For my purpose l prefer the bronze
turkey and 1 am doing my best to get rid
Of the white stock with which l started
out. l have found the bronze better
foragers, harder as young poults, easier
to fatten and heavier for the size Of the
frame,
II have found turkeys about as easy to
raise as chickens provided one or two
simple rules are observed in the care Of
the young. For the first two weeks / con
fine my hens in dry, roomy coops, so ar
ranged that the young birds can be shut
In until the dew on the grass has dried and
when it rains. ] believe that more young
turkeys die from getting wet, either from
dew or rain, than from any other one
cause.
after the second week / cut one wing
Of each mother hen and turn her and her
poults into a small alfalfa field near
enough the house TO have them driven
into their coop should there he an appear
ance Of rain. When the poults are three
months old they are able TO look out for
themselves and can be allowed to follow
the hen with the flock. After the third
month a turkey Is about as healthy as any
fowl / have ever raised.
Perhaps l should also state that ANY
Of the poults that are not up to the mAgk
In health ana appearance It is best TO kill

off or at least separate from the flock until
it can be proved that they are worth
keeping.
Best Food for POuIts.
THE best food for young poults during
the first week is wheat bread that has
been soaked in milk. The first feed should
not be given until they are thirty-six hours
old. They should be given four times Il
day with a midday meal of well baked
corn bread crumbled fine and mixed with
chopped hard boiled eggs and finely chop
ped onion, with the addition Of some red
pepper, This pepper should be chopped
very fine and mixed in with the onion be-
fore being added to the other ingredients.
Il usually give this corn bread mixture
at night and once a day. II, however,
the weather is stormy or chilly l let the
poults have it both morning and evening.
1t is a very rich and concentrated combi-
nation and should not be given too often.
Under no circumstances should the corn
bread be poorly baked.
when l have II / also give my young
birds pot cheese i'm place OF the chopped
eggs. The eggs and cheese take the place
Of meat, which is as necessary with tur-
keys as with chickens. After the first week
l begin to mix a small portion OF mixed
grain with the wheat bread and day by
Jay increase the ration unlll the Dledu
drops out and only the mixed grain re-
mains.
my favorite mixture is cracked wheat,
hulled oats and cracked corn, In the fall
when fattening the birds for market and
after the grasshoppers have ceased TO be
bountiful / add about 10 per cent meat
scraps. As long as the grasshoppers last
the turkeys much prefer to gather their
own meat.
ITO persons beginning the business 1
would give the advice that they start on a
small scale and learn from experience. In
addition to the rules already given, they
should take care to place the cOops so that
water will not settle in them. These coops
should be made SO that they can be moved
from place 70 place, and should never be
allowed to shelter two hatchings Of eggs
on the same spot in the same year. Ny

The pet cat Of Goldie AIImendinger OF
Ann Arbor, Mich. saved the lives Of the
five members OF the family and in doing
SO sacrificed its own life. Fire started
the building used by the Allmendinger
family as a residence and bakery, and
while the family slept the first floor and
cellar became filled with smoke.
Seeming danger, the cat ran to the door
OF Goldie's bedroom and scratched until
Mr.. A~llmendlnger was awakened. He
hastily arose. reused his wife and three
children, and cast about for means OF
escape, The smoke poured up the stair
way, cutting off escape by that route, but
finally exit was made through a second

the two younger children as they were
tossed to her. Goldie fell on the railing OF

This little matter attended to, Hamilton
made a speech and hied him to the presi-
Dental abode. Here there had been digni'
fled observance of the day, but it seems
that some inRling of the little row at
FaLnce's had got abroad already, and
Washington put some questions to the
secretary of the treasury about it. Both
Knox and Randolph mention the exercised
condition of the president, and Hamilton
seems to have been il%,fluenced somewhat
by his recent excitement. However 1t was,
Washington at any rate became vexed, and
INDUCED in some pointed remarks. Read
ers of the history of the period remember
the effective way in which Parton. Mar
shall and Hilliard nave touched up the
anger Of cur first president. Washington's
displeasure always took the form of just
resentment. He resented the whole Thanks
giving episode. John Jay gives the Ian
6 ,age of the Father of His Country on
this occasion with some p]retensions to
exactness. Washington was incensed that
a young soldier should have broken his
nose in a tavern brawl while protesting TO
be giving thanks for heavens best gifts,
Our first president went so far as to say
that it was disgraceful by God" by
God, SIR was the most blasphemous inn
precation in the Washington vocabulary,
and he used it twice to Hamilton. The
first occasion was on this unhappy Thanks
giving. At the second Hamilton quilted his
master.
Thus, in a bundle of family letters, does
the forgotten episode lie preserved. Like
merry another event of the time, it has
passed out Of human knowledge, and the
printed correspondence OF the great ones
Of the time, in which allusion to it is made,
reposes amid dust heaps and is never
perused by the eye Of man. But it was a
great event in its time, and made Thanks
giving a memorable day to our forefathers
in official circles. History is silent on the
subject OF the future career of the lieu

BLOWS MADE TURKEY BLOOM
History and Feasting Originate in a
Lively Rumpus.
FATHER WASHINGTON sWoRE
And the GObbIer Secured a Cinch on
the National ThRnksgiving-
Great Events Spring
from TrifIes.

The first national Thanksgiving day
ever observed by the United States Of
America owes its historic interest mainly
TO one broken nose and an oath. To the
oath we owe the supremacy Of the turkey
as our national feast day bird. and to the
broken nose we owe the only evidence
that has come down to us that George
Washington ever swore. Yet all these i'm
portant things are collateral to the main
fact that W. narrowly escaped losing
Thanksgiving after all and that all the
famed men OF that day got into a very
bitter quarrel over 1t and ate a turkey
dinner at daggers drawn, so to speak.
The idea OF having such a national holt
day at all originated In the fertile brain
or AleNander Hamilton. Hamilton was
then secretary OF the treasury, and i'm
August OF 1883 he preached the matter AT
one OF the meetings Of President Wash
ington's cabinet. This much we know from
the correspondence of General Knox, and
in spite Of the historical interest attending
a most unique episode In our history, the
whole matter is involved IN more or less
obscurtty and the worn old tones that tell
II all lie in dusty hooks on library shelves.
The late General Hamilton. whose death
so recently threw many notable New York
ialhlhes into mourning, had a very full
collection OF the correspondence bearing
upon the celebration Of this republics first
Thanksgiving. To be sure, there had been
Thanksgivings In this country from time
immemorial before our government was
born, but the first celebration OF a genu-
inely national character was the one ap-
pointed by George Washington OF glorious
memory. This correspondence is now in
the possession OF the Schuyler Hamiltons
and IL authority for a vast amount of
hitherto unpublished history.
Congress- Fakes Action,
II was in September OF ITSg that the mat
ter was brought 10 the attention OF con-
gress. Representative BoUdinot OF New
England moved that in view OF the bless
irgs so abundantly bestowed on the coun-
try by the Almighty a day Of Thanks
giving be set apart by the president. The
resolution was supported by representative
sherman OF Connecticut, but il aroused
violent opposition. Many members OF con-
gress denounced the proposition as effete
and monarchical, asd we have the authority
OF Representative Muhlenburg OF Pennsyl-
vaIia for the statement that SOME mem
hers grew so personal I'm their discussions
OF the matter that blows were exchanged
on The streets OF New York. II appears

ton and in Philadelphia, the battle was
heartily entered into. Washington had the
modification of seeing that his day Of
thanksgiving for the blessings Of Almighty
God had become a source of no end of con-
tention.
However, the day dawned bright and
even warm for New York. The bells Of
Trinity were rung for an hour, and there
was a parade OF one regiment reviewed
by Hamilton from Faunce's Tavern. Then
the cheering part of the day began by in
diligence in various forms of stimulating
percolations, and every one no doubt was
very thankful Washington went to
church in the morning, and at high noon
began to receive his visitors. 1t was well
on in the afternoon that Hamilton's little
dinner began. It was rather a famous
little dinner in its day and generation, al
though it is never talked of nowadays. 1t
was eaten at Faunce's, and was the first
official Thanksgiving banquet in our his
tory. Hamilton was to respond to a toast,
and then go off to the presidents man
sion, but It seems the secretary of the
Treasury was behind time, and there &C.
CURED at the dinner table what would
now be called q disagreement among gen
tlemen. We have much and detailed in
formation about it in the Hamilton let
tiers. In the first place Lieutenant st.
Clair, a nephew OF famed Arthur st. Clair,
took occasion to say upon his honor as a
gentleman that he was sober. An unhis-
toric parsonage OF whom we know no
more than his name was Tisdal, and that
he was an alderman and notary, i'm
peached the veracity of Lieutenant st.
Clair's assertion, and defied him to prove
II. The lieutenant thereupon threw a bot
tie at nobody in particular, and missed his
aim. In an instant, as they say in novels,
all was confusion, and then, like a god out
of a machine. in walked Alexander Hamil-
ton. The scene that met his gaze, accord
ing TO John Adams account Of it, was
shameful. Viands and glassware and gem
teman were all massed together. How
ever, they were separated, and Hamilton,
dreading the effect of the scandal IL the
episode becam public property, did his
best to patch matters up. The skeptlcal
alderman appears to have had his sobrlety
set at rest, but unfortunately there could
be no doubt that the lieutenant's nose was
broken in the course OF debate, for the
Hamilton letters distinctly say so, but we
have the same authority for maintaining
that il was agreed that a gentleman is at
times justified in insisting that he is
sober.
Dispute About the Turkey,
The next thing that happened, according
TO the letters, was a dispute about the
turkey. Where was the turkey? 1t had
not been brought upon the table. There
were loud shouts for turkey, but none was
forthcoming. A proposition 10 dispens2
with that fowl was hooted down. and Alex
ander Hamilton swore-the Hamilton letters
say he swOre-that no citizen Of the United
States Of America should abstain from
turkey on Thanksgiving lay Wen, they
got a turkey somehow and ate II. Then
tney drank and cheered and sang songs,
and sang songs and cheered and drank.
They knew how 10 observe Thanksgiving
In those days
