Turkey Not an HhcIent Christmas D lsh.
The turkey as Christmas dish was
introduced into England In the six

antiquity than the huge sirloin of beef

shaped like manger, as were the
Yule cakes given out by the bakers to
their customers. The plum porridge
later developed into the plum pudding,
which dates from 1875. At the old
Christmas feasts peacocks and cranes
formed some of the dishes. Before be-
ing roasted the peacock was carefully
skinned, and after leaving the oven
the bird was reclothed with Its old
plumage. -----------..

The Pay Envelope.

What you find in your pay en-
velope is not enough. A pay en-
'velOpe is a drawing account, meal
ticket-thats all. Your salary is the
means to satisfy your everyday
wants-to keep your mind off OF
worry, off of failure.
What you are paid is only a test to
determine whether you will try to
earn more. The pay envelope is a
certificate of mbership-proof that
you are actually in the organization
Only small men work for salaries
very long. They soon begin to work
for advancement-if they are big.
Until you get on the payroll, you
can not get onto the opportunities
offered in the organization.
When you are once on the pay
roll, just forget your salary and fix
your mind on the chances ahead Add
to your experience the value of dsci-
pline. Look upon your position as a
college, a university of unlimited pos
sibilites.
Your employer must necessarily
make a little money on your efforts,
otherwise he could not continue to
pay you. But don't let this little
profit that he makes stand in your
own way of getting all there is to get
out of your own position. If you are
working for your salarly only, you
are cheating yourself more than you
cheat the boss. You are losing a
great chance to have someone pay
you while you make yourself valuable.

WAINWRIGHT, Okla, Aug. 10
Gold diggers are hOneycombing the
ground about the former residence of
W. II. Wainwright. once treasurer OF
Mugkogee county and now serving a
fourteen-year embezzlement sentence
in the penitentiary in the belief that
a portion of the vast amount he stole
is buried In this town.
According to figures given out after
an examination by the state, Vain
wright made away with a total Of
$4,000 Of Muskogee county. Al
though a determined effort was made
before the treasurer's trial, the state
was able to find no place where that
amount Of money might have been
spent by Wainwright. A man Of large
interests, he doubtless required a
large amount of money but he was
constantly making money and this OBJ
viatcd TO considerable degree any
suspicion that he might have poured
the greater portion Of his ill-gotten
gain back into his private schemes.
There was absolutely no evidence
that Mr.. Wainwright was spender or
a speculator His home life was
simple. he took no long trips Living
in a small town, practically his ever
expenditure was known to the people
here.
so it is, that people believe the for

ANOTHER CASE OF
BLUEBEARD ALLEGED
MAN CHARGED WITH KILLING
THREE WIVES AND PLACING
BODIES IN BATHTuB

LONDON, March 2S.-Charged with
the murder of three women, George
Joseph Smith in the Bow street court
heard Prosecutor Bookin charge him
with making away with three of his
wives. Each, he charged, was muir
dered soon after their marriage and
found in a bathtub. The case is
known as THE Brides in Bath Case.
He used fictitious names. The first
alleged murder was in July. 1912
Later the authorities investigated and
the bodies were exhumed The mo
tive Of the accused murderer is not
disclosed.
The prosecutor said: smith has
been married FIVE times in all. Greed
for wealth was the motive for the
murders. We will show that on the
death of two of his wives $4,000 was
obtained by Smith and the prisoner
was in a fair way to obtain $4,000
more by the death of the third wife
when arrested" It is related how
Smith courted women, and secured
from each a win making him sole
| legatee.
