1t also means day Of play to all.

Mr. PoSsIm is. however, slow mover,

hounds and the hOwls Of the negroes
ana sees the glare Of the torches. he
gets up the nearest tree and settles on

Somehow the light fasclnates him

want. Mr.. Possum is noted for his

natural food and rounds out their
sides with good, sweet meat.
Several days before THANKSGIVING
day some Of the hands are taken from
the cotton fields and put to work
around the plantation buildings. This
Is. with the exception Of Christmas
perhaps the most enjoyable task of
the year, for 1t means the preparation
for the feast which the plantation Is

thanks offerings are made.

hands are set to work ut first to clenr

they put together dozen or more long

nm insight into the real business Of
thanksgiving, and incidentally guam
tity OF rural folk lore which Is illu-
minating. Wandering around the wug-
ons which line the sidewalks Of the

came upon an old resident OF Virginia
"A man with whlsiers and IL rlngniti-
cent quid Of tobacco and small sup
ply Of turkeys, the last named alive
ana protesting vigorously against the
confinement Of their crates.
! Alter little preliminary cOnver-
sation the old farmer dIlutcd upon the

ana In his conversation knocked the
pedestal upon which the fowl is placed
squarcly from under It's feet.

confided to the reporter. "Thcy amt

I'm what way?" was asked.
I'm every way" replied the farmer.
Il believe that the words not sense
enough to come In out Of the rain wns
written to describe a turkey. Did
you ever know, for instance. that a
turkey can drown itself during rain
storm?"
"What!" calculated the reporter.
Fact" said the farmer. ."Them
there birds hold up their heads during
rainstorm exactly as if they was
trying to swallow the whole creation.
Naturally, they can't drink the entire
output. And I tell you as a fact,
that I've found cases where they man
aged to drown themselves"
Continuing on the peculiarlties of
the bird, the old man said:
They're helpless critters, too. Amt
got as much gumption about them as
n chicken. And frail--let me tell you
young man, that n turkey Is the grcat-

Does that apply to wild turkeys as

porter.
The old man spat thoughtfully and
profuscly at chip Of wood in the
street. He hit the mark
"As to. that" he said, 81 can't exact
ly say. "Mcbbc there's something IN
the idea that n turkey, when he's tame,
gets so used to huvin' folks make n
fuss over him that he jest naturally
loses all his ambition. There's one
