Decorations for the Thanksgiving
dinner table arouse much interest in
the candy and pastry shops. There
never was such variety before.
Three inch turkeys constitute candy
boxes. There are dolls dressed In
pumpkin colored paper from hat to
train. In their hands they carry little
bags made out of tiny pumpkins.
Little negro doll boys clap pumpkin
cymbals; others guide automobiles that
have pumpkin wheels. Little pumpkin
coaches as charming as the one that
carried Cinderella to the ball stand IN
line with other devices.
Fruit plates are piled with red cheek
ed apples. grapes, bananas, pears and
lemons, each one of which is a candy
box. Careful reproductions are seen
In the mammoth peanuts and the minia-
ture Holsters, which also make candy
boxes.

rabbit on all tours. After that it is
but easy work to dispatch the animal.
The trap is then rebaited, and the
"cookie" continues his journey to the
next snare, and SO on until he has made
the round At the camp the rabbits are
hung head down on the outside of the
camp, where they freeze and are kept
In good condition until the day of the
feast. The night before Thanksgiving
the animals are taken down from the
peg, thawed out bit before the camp
fireplace and their pelts removed. Aft
er being cleaned the meat is thrown
into big kettle with liberal supply
Of onions, potatoes, carrots and other
vegetables and allowed to simmer over
a slow fire.
The dish when served with a side
dish of dressing and a mug Of cider
with just bit of edge on is hard to
be beaten by any culinary artists.
Almost as good as the rabbit stew is
the plum pudding, which the cook
takes pains to have extra good on
Thanksgiving day and Christmas day
Unlike the pudding Of that kind, it is
made with fresh bread, molasses and
all the plums the mixture will stand
It Is put In the oven early in the morn
ing and allowed to remain until ready
mince or apple pie, piping hot and full
of the elixir of life.
OF course the baked beans must be
served on Thanksgiving day, but they
are cooked just little bit better than
those doled out during the week. They
are served for breakfast. The beans
are picked over and the poor ones re-
moved the evening previous to Thanks
giving and after being allowed to re-
main In salt cold water for short
time are put in a big kettle with plen-
ty of pork and buried In the ground on
bed of glowing hardwood Goals.
When one rolls out of his bunk in the
morning, shivering just bit from the
cold, big dish Of the smoking baked
beans is found on the table. Besides
the beans, there will be brown bread
such as cannot be constructed In any
other part Of the world, some cold
cream of tartar biscuits, molasses and
dried apple sauce Besides, there are
plenty Of tea and coffee without milk,
but which is good enough to keep out
the cold until early in the afternoon,
when the Thanksgiving dinner is
served
1t was not very many years ago that
woodsmen thought 1t necessary to have
a haunch of venison or moose meat for
the holidays principal meal, but that
time is past. and now it is rabbit pie.

work of slaughter. Most of the rab-
bits make their winter home under low
scrub bushes of hard wood and hunt
for food under the dead leaves which
have been blown from the trees during
the fall frosts. These mounds Of
leaves are just the place to conceal the
strands Of wire and horsehair to be
used as snares, and it Is indeed wise
rabbit who can escape the trap.
A liberal supply Of whole corn and
oats Is used as bait for the rabbits,
being scattered under the leaves in
close proximity to the snares. The
wire Is run for some distance along the
surface of the ground and is then at
tached to the strand of horsehair with
q loop and running moose In the end.
In this moose more corn or oats are
placed than anywhere else, and the
rabbit invariably spends much time
pver few kernels of the grain. 1t Is
while thus loafng over his food that he
meets his doom.
After breakfast has been served In
the camp and the men have gone to
their work the cookie" commences his
rounds Of the snares. Never does he
have far to go from the starting place
to find one or more Dummies carefully
nosing through the leaves and select
Ing the choicest pieces Of corn. So at
tentive is the animal In his quest for
food that he seldom notices the ap-
proach of the hunter or any one else
unless there be dog in the party.
And while thus eating the hunter
rrouches under some tree at the far end
Of the wire and at the opportune time
pulls the "string" which catches the

This Real National Bird.

Do you know that the bird of Thanks
giving day Is more Of a national bird
than the lordly eagle? The eagle is to
be found native Of Europe and Asia
ds well as America, but the turkey is
all our own. He was not known until
a full century after Columbus. He
was first seen in the Carolinas, and
when specimens were carried over to
Europe they were hailed as 1.-THE most
beautiful present made by the new
world to the old" 1t is a curious fact,
however, that considerable error pre-
vailed as to the true source of the fowl
DR.. Samuel Johnson gravely defined
the turkey as a larger domestic fowl
supposed to be brought from Turkey"
Europeans had peacocks, venison steaks
and even canary birds tongues, but
what were any of these as compared
with the American turkey?

I'LL camps of Maine begin early in
November. Traps for the rab-
bits, which form the principal dish, are
set In place and carefully baited.
Men who go to the lumber camps
about the LIST Of October give up the
hope of having chicken or turkey or
goose with cranberry sauce on the last
Thursday of November. Intact, there
is not one man in a dozen who go
into the woods for the winter, unless
he has family In some small town,
who cares a snap for any other dish
for Thanksgiving than good old fash

IT'S A GOOD PLAN.

The ontonagon county board Of su
pervisors has set aside a sum of money
which will be added TO by subscrip-
tions from the land companies Of that
county, and others. for the publishing
OF n special book on Ontonagon county.
and it is suggested by President
Thornton A. Green Of the Upper Pen
Ursula Development bureau that other
boards OF supervisors adopt the same
plan for their counties. It's a splendid
way 20 advertise the advantages OF
the available farm and fruit lands and
practically certain to attract home
seekers. The expense involved would
be Insignificant in comparison with the
results. The plan has worked wen
wherever tried. and IT Is one OF the
first resorted to by communities which
desire TO build up their rural popula-
ton.

yesterday passed workingmen's
compensation bill, one Of the measures
recommended by Governor Osborn in
his cali for the special session. The
bills differ in unimportant respects
and conferees were appointed to ar
range compromise bill The Senate
passed the Morlarty-James bin and the
House the Ashley bill. II is believed
that all differences will be speedily
ironed out and that a compromise bill
satisfactory to all win be drawn up.
The measure should soon become a
law, and II # is found defective in any
way can be corrected at the next reg
ular session. The action Of the House
and Senate in giving this legislation
favorable consideration will meet with
approval throughout the state.
