Giving thanks always for all things unto God
and the Father In the name Of Lord Jesus
Christ-Ephesians v:2O.
The thankful spirit is the true and sure source
OF happy life. There are plenty Of things to be
thankful for, and It Is wise to make effort to
find them. They are never far away. They are
under control. We are their masters. God
made us that way. We may be in touch with very
disagreeable people, but II do not like dis
agreeable feelings we need not have them There
many good things to think of with reference
to such people. Be missionary to them. Think
how nice 1t would be II such person had a sweet
disposition and let your own radiate Its virtues.
We can rejoice and be glad no matter where we
are. Paul and Silas sang hymns while in Jail.
Why not? It was bad enough to be in jail. God
was good to them. He revealed to them facts of
eternal life These were good things to think
about and why should they not enjoy them? To
sing was a reasonable thing to do. God had CIV.
them something against the day Of trouble and
they used it. Why should not we? What is the
use of being miserable when can just as well
be happy? God is near in the joys and com.
forts of life well as in our trials and tempta-
tions We have good reasons to be thankful un-
der all conditions OF life. The sun always shines

A number of varieties of the tame turkey have
been developed by breeding the principal ones

our greatest game bird from final ex-i
tinction.
The wild turkey. of course, is q
species entirely distinct from the
tame bird with the white-meatedj
breast. One reason why its preser /
walton Is important is that it isl
needed to contribute from time to5
time its hardy blood and much priced
game flavor to the domesticated val
r1ety by interbreeding. The compar-}
atively dark meat of the breast Of,
many Of the tame turkeys that come
to market nowadays at the Thanks
giving season Is attributable to such
matings. which are eagerly sought
by the knowing producer of feath-
cred stock.
The wild turkey is SO VIGOROUSLY
shy that most people would be in
clined to suppose 1t incapable Of do
mesticatfon. Such an inference, how
ever. according to the expert, is
mistaken one. AS a matter of fact,
the bird is not by nature much afraid
OF man. but rather tame and soci
able. SO far as human beings are con-
cerned. In Massachusetts during
early colonial days there were great
numbers Of wild turkeys. and fire.
quently they made themselves at
home in the close neighborhood OF
the dwellings of settlers.
To-day the species is entirely ex-
tinct In New England. and In other
parts OF the country the fowl is ex-
tremely wild and hard to shoot-not,
however, because of a natural shy
ness Of disposition, but simply for

OPERATION HELPS BOY
BROKEN BACK SET BY HOSPI.
TAI DOCTORS.
Little Patient Reported Doing Well
and Complete Recovery Is Con-
fidently Expected.

The condition of Norwood s. Herbert
the seven-year-old boy who is at the
Emergency Hospital suffering from a
broken back, which he received as a re-
suit of falling from a tree near his home
I'D street and Virginia avenue. was today
reported to be improved.
The fact that there is an improvement
in the boys condition is due to an opera
ton performed yesterday afternoon al
the hospital by DR.. Charles White, as.
sisted by several members of the surgical
staff The operation was performed by
the use of the new fracture table, which
has recently been installed at the hos.
pital
After the little boy had been placed or
the operating table and anesthetic adj
mnistered a mechanical device was used
to hold his head rigid. fractions were
then made of both feet by the attendants
while DIR. White and those assisting ma
nipulated the broken spine with their
hands. until the dislocated vertebra was
pushed into it's normal position. A plaster
cast was then made and the boy will be
obliged to lie in one position for some
time until the broken parts heal.
1t is expected that the paralysis of the
legs will disappear and that the boy will
again be able to go about as before the
accident.
The little fellow received the injury to
his back while playing with several COM
panionS near his home. He had climbed
into tree and was stepping from one
limb to another when he fell to the
ground, striking on his back He was
rendered unconscious and was later re.
moved to his home When a physician
examined him the seriousness Of the in
jury was disclosed and he was Immediate
ly removed to the hospital.

BOY Is COMMITTED.
Sent to National Training School
by Judge De Lacy,

Newton r. Martin. the thirteen year old
son of John r. Martin, IA G street north
east, who WAS in the Juvenile Court yes
terday afternoon charged with having
stolen S. from Abraham Rice, boy sew
eral years older than Newton, was COM
mitted to the National Training School
for Boys by Judge De Lacy.
The boys parents reported to the po-
lice that they thought he had tried to
commit suicide. for bottle of carbolic
acid had been found by his mother in
one of his pockets, and they feared he
had obtained more of the acid.
But Newton was arrested later on the
charge of Rice who said the boy had
taken 81 and some pennies from him
while he slept. Rice said that he was a
stranger in Washington. and that he had
asked Newton to SHOW him the town."
When it was late at night he took New
ton 70 q room. which he had rented and
both prepared to go to sleep When Rice
awoke Newton was gone and so was the
money.
The Martin boy has been before the Jul
venile Court before on other charges.
