tul, formerly a veterinary
surgeon In the United

states, Canada and Cuba, he
declares the Rogue River

tul lived two years in Ever

I'm hungerin' to get away
on yonder where the pickerel play
Off yonder where the skies are blue
And every breeze that blows is true.
Where there's no ceaseless fight for gold
And things aren't being bought and sold.
I'm hungerin' to get away
An steep my soul in joys of May
I nj CROWN weary of the game
The strife for wealth and power and fame.
l want 10 stretch my soul a bit
An give earth's joys chance at it

Where there is nothing much to do
Save stretchin' out upon the sod
An gloryin' in the works of God.
I'm hungerin' to get away
on yonder where the pickerel play.
l want to rest beside stream
An gaze up to the sky an dream
An quite forget that there's a town
Where engines hum an chirnneys frown.
I'm tired of hearin people say
That time is money" every day.

Without thought that maybe

But, then, my soul wants exercise.

REASON FOR THE TURKEY.
Alexander Hamilton Responsible Fer
Bird a. Popular National Dish

Alexander Hamilton Responsible Fer
Bird a. Popular National Dish
Few stop to wonder as they sniff the
SAVIOR of the fowl baking In the kitchen
how turkey came to be the great ma
tional dish on the day of feasting and
reunion. But there are two reasons,
says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. In
the first place the turkey is the true
American bird. Turkeys are native to
other parts of the world. but the tur-
key of all other sections is only a weak
shadow and semblaEce of the Ameri-
can gobbler. And. in the second place.
Alexander Hamilton decreed it,
1t happened at the first national cele-
bration- party of congressman were
giving n banquet in honor of the day.
The table was bountifully laden with
the good things of the day and season.
but the chef. through some inadver-
tency. had omitted to have q turkey
for the occasion. Now, even ut that
early day the idea had pretty well
crystallized that any feast day with
out a turkey was like Hamlet with
Hamlet left out
The absence of turkey was at once
noted. but the guess sea. ed themselves
and prepared to go on with the dinner.
Alexander Hamilton arose and begged
the diners to restrain their appetites a
moment. Il WISH said he, Ito dis
cuss briefly with you this proposition:
To eat or not to eat turkeyless
Thanksgiving dinner Whereupon
he plunged into n most eloquent de-
Tense of the Thanksgiving turkey.
Hamilton speedily carried his point;
the dinner was sent back to the kit
chen and the chagrined chef was or
dered to roast dozen fat turkeys
And while they We're roasting the COM
pany drew up and passed this resolu-
ton: NO citizen of the United States
should refrain from turkey on Thanks

An Undeserved Probation
Blu WALLACE N. MORRISON

You young ladies must be more
careful as to your words said. BE
fore l went away l overheard a scrap
OF conversation with regard to me that
gave me great PAIN
Both looked at me uneasily.
You two were talking in the gar
den One said. He's gawkr the 9TH

The two girls looked at each other
inquiringly.
Il remember no such conversation"
said Kate Marion was silent
do You, Marion:'' l asked
no. but candor compels me to say
that at that time the criticisms were
just"
The first surely was. though l am
not so certain about the second. Gut
the business of it all could have no
effect on a boy OF nineteen. l have for
years felt harshly toward the one who
called me gawk and kindly to her
who said, But he knows thingsr''
Then you recognized their voices"

who called you a sawh.'
Il may have attributed the remark
to the wrong girl, but to whomsoever
L toss this pin let her stand accused
Taking pearl pin from my scarf,
tossed it TO Marion.
The distress on Marion's face was
painful 10 see. Kate blushed. and the
guilty look on her face was equally
distressing. she struggled with her
self to take the blame that she knew
belonged to her, but without success.
l waited to see if Marion would place
it where it belonged. but she did not
She handed my pin back TO me.
Keep it as a token that you are for
given L said.
But she was resolute. and | at last
placed the jewel again in my scarf.
/ waited a week, leaving the girls
free. the one to assume her just bur-
den. the other to place it upon her
friend. | paid Kate marked attention
and treated Marion with Indifference.
l had learned selfshness myself. but
admired that sense of honor which
prevented Marion from throwing the
blame on Kate. Meanwhile l took sat
iSfaction in MariOn's distress. The
fact of having called me gawlI was
nothing to her Giscredit. 1 knew that
it was the loss Of my favor that pain
ed her.
Marion said one day, 'shave you
repented having called me a gawk"
She gave me no reply.
''Well, you had better dismiss the
matter from your mind. In the first
place. 1 was not only gawk. but
ninny. In the second. it was not you
who spoke the word. but Kate. In the
third. 1 love you and want you to go
back with me as my wife"
So Indignant was she at the pain I
had given her that she kept me wait
ing a year and then only consented on
condition that l apologize.
