Boston, Nov. 19.-Mrs. Augusta e.
Stetson Of New York, for years re-
garded as one of the most powerful
leaders of the Christian Science
church, has been communicated i.
This is the unanimous decision of the
board Of directors of the mother

been hearing charges against Mrs.
Stetson for three days this week. A
statement to this effect was issued by
Alfred Farlow, local publicity agent
of the church, on behalf of the direct
ors.
The statement declares that the Of
fences proved against Mrs. Stetson
were of two kinds:
1. Working against the interests
of the members of this church who
are not her followers and against the
interests of this church.
2. "Persisting in teachings and

FRESH EGGS ~ WINTER.

The poutryman who can supply
fresh eggs in winter, when prices are
high, has a tremendous advantage over
the one who through ignorance or neg
ect has to wait until sum ner, when
the supply is large and the price low.
Not everyone can do this, and no one
can do it unless he takes proper care
of his fowls and gives them food con-
tanning the essential producing in
gradients which, when running at large,
the hens can supply themselves to
large extent in summer. There is no
material better fitted for this purpose
than Pages Perfected Poultry Food"

years, and he speaks from experience
when he says, in a recent letter: For
several years l have sold and used

not hesitate to say that l think it is
one of The best foods on the market

Buvinq In His Note.

Colonel Bill was pioneer legislator,
merchant and banker of the vest pock-
ct variety.
1t was seldom that Colonel Bill got
caught by debtor, so unerring was
his judgment of men, but his tranSac-
ton with old man Blankerton was an
exception to the rule. Blankerton got
into Colonel Bills ledger to the amount
of $50 and finally balanced the account
with a note.
When the paper was a long time
overdue and there was no prospect of
n settlement, to the eminent disgust of
the colonel, he declared, with strong
Anglo-Saxon emphasis, that he would
sell Blankerton's note for 80 cents on
the dollar The statement was not
long reaching the ears of the maker
Of the note. He met the colonel in the
village street one day and accosted
him:

note for so cents on the dollar"

COMPARISONS or CLIMATE.
Some In Both Hemispheres Are Quite
Similar.

Some In Both Hemispheres Are Quite
Similar.
When two regions on different hemi-
spheres possess similar climates there
is nearly always u similarity In their
native vegetation, and it is demon
strated fact that many of the plants
native to one of the regions find them
selves perfectly at home in the other,
similar to those of the Mediterranean
region. so that it is no surprise to find
more than fifty plants from the latter
region that thrive in California with
marvellous vigor. 1t is conservatively
estimated that over rs per cent of the
forage on the California range lands
is made up of Mediterranean immi-
grants, mostly ANIMALS, such as wild
oats. bur clover, atilerlla, bronze
grasses. fescues, wild barleys and
many others.
The Great basin and the Columbia
basin resemble California in one
marked respect-namely that the sum-
mers are dry and the winters wet.
Indeed. the principal difference from
California lies in the colder winters.
The difference has not prevented the
Introduction and rapid spread Of most
Of the European ANIMALS now so con-
spicuous in California. 1t is really
little short of amazing how rapidly
and extensively some of these plants
have occupied the range lands at the
expense of the native vegetation.
The conditions in Arizona are not
very favorable to the plants that have
found California conditions so con-
genial. with the exception of alfilerilla.
Arabia of all old world regions is most
like Arizona. and from there, if any
where, we should expect plants adapt
ed to Arizona conditions.
Western Washington and western
Oregon closely approximate in climate
the British isles. and practically every
thing that thrives in the one region is
at home in the other.
The middle and south Atlantic states
are similar to Japan and China in eli
mate. 1t has long been recognized that
all japanese plants, especially orna-
mentals. thrive in this region perfectly.
A number of them are so at home. in
deed. that they have literally taken to
the woods and behave as natives. Wit
ness the japanese honeysuckle. Japan
clover, ailanthus. paulownia and the
recently introduced Chinese violet.
The cotton states evidently have
much in common with India and south
eastern Asia. whence we have OBJ
tanned cowpeas, crab grass, Bermuda
grass. velvet beans and many weeds,
and to a less degree with Argentina.
where rescue grass. carpet grass, pas
palum grass and a number of common
southern weeds are native.
Of late years there has been increas-
ing evidence that the high plains of
northern Texas resemble the highlands
of India. At least practically every
plant introduced from the India high
lands has succeeded better in the Tex
as Panhandle than elsewhere in the
United States.
The great plains region lying east of
the Rocky mountains and west of the
one hundredth meridian finds it's near
est parallel in climate in Asia. This
is the region that gave us alfalfa.

A TURKEY DRUNK"
An Old Time Thanksgiving Custom
Which Is Happily Now Obsolete.

Which Is Happily Now Obsolete.
one of the great features of Thanks
giving time was what we called the
turkey drunk" says native of west
ern New York. "Folks didn't seem to
kill their Thanksgiving turkey in those
days until the forenoon of the day it
was to be eaten, and it was the Gus
tom to get the bird most gloriously
drunk and kill it while it was in that
condition. They used to say that 1t
made the turkeys last moments on
earth happy and made its approach
ing death a matter of unconcern to
the bird. More than that, it was be-
lieved that the brandy they filed the
turkey up with gave the meat flavor
that no bird that died sober could ever
have. l don't know whether that was
so, but I do know that l can't get any
turkey nowadays that has the pecul-
iarly delicious flavor those brandy
soaked birds of my beloved boyhood
had The turkey drunk was great
occasion. 1t was witnessed by the
whole family and all the invited
guests, if there were any. Two hours
before killing the turkey the head of
the family would fill a teacup or tin
cup or sometimes small gourd with
brandy. This he would take out to
the poultry yard where the turkey
which was to provide the Thanksgiv-
ing dinner would be cooped up by it
self in one corner and place it on the
ground in front of the turkey. Those
fowls appeared to be fond of brandy,
and the doomed bird would gobble up
the intoxicating liquor with the relish
of a confirmed old topper. Sometimes
a particularly large and fat turkey
would drink the entire contents of the
cup.
LAS soon as the bird was through
drinking it would be let out Of its
coop, and in less than three minutes
it would be staggering about the yard
with as elegant jag on as any round
er ever enjoyed. If the victim was

Of Toodles.
1.-The exhibition the intoxicated COB
bier made of himself created unmis-
taxable surprise, if not disgust, in his
harem, and the hens would draw apart
in groups and watch the antics Of their
lord in shocked silence. The turkey
never failed to get drunken and drunk
er and at last would totter and fall
and give up to the influence of the
liquor. Then was the time to kill the
bird, and its head was cut off while
the turkey was in its stupor. That
custom is fortunately obsolete now. l
don't think it would be very inspir-
ing sight for one to witness nowadays,
but in the old times the stiffest teeto-
