One on the Doctor.

A man died and went to heaven.
When he arrived at the pearly
gates, says the American Druggist,
he said to ST. Peter:
"Well, Pm here"
St. Peter asked his name: John
Evans" was the reply.
St. Peter looked through the
book and shook his head.
"You don't belong here" he
said.
but I am sure I belong here"
said the man.
"Wait a minute" said St. Pc
ter. He looked again, and in'the
back part of the book he found the
name.
Sure" said the guardian of tn
gate, you belong here, but you
weren't expected for twenty years.
Who's your doctor?"
Full supply of Glenn Springs and
Harris kithia water.

to the only bit Of folklore about the turkey that

to have legends associated with him as a rule;
but Indian ~Mohammedans profess to hear In the

brief creed as spoken in Arabic. Hence. when a
turkey has to be killed in India, the native takes
a cruel pleasure in executing 1t by cutting out

ger as to the speed Of turkeys and geese over a
course which it would take a matter of days to

little flock OF four OF the fowls of his fancy, and

often resented the entrance Of natives into the
compound he respected Europeans, a piece OF dis

limited intelligence as a turkey. Another inmate
of the menagerie was a young cassowary and he
wrought the turkeys downfall; for, coming into
the compound one day, ] missed the ginger-hued
gobbler, and asked what had become Of him.
Ah, my poor t~urkey!" said the dealer; he
gave cheek tc the cassowary, and the cassowary

Senator Clay was born on a farm in

Cause for ThankfuIness,

Thanksgiving Gay is the one day in the year
when the nation turns TO heaven in thanks for It's
preservation. The life OF the nation is the principal
consideration; not only its life, but its health, and
Its preservation In that condition in which 1t was
established by the fathers of the country. Men
can thank God for their own accumulations or sup
plicate him to tighten their burdens, but that Is not
the purpose Of a national! Thanksgiving. The nation
itself. the political structure which was framed and
handed down--it Is the preservation of this for
which the people are to be thankful.
