It Is an easy matter to go to market
Tor your Thanksgiving turkey, but out
West they do 1t differently. Down In
the deep bottom land forests Of Arkan-
cas- is the home OF the wild turkey, and
this fall the game has been so plentiful
and 80 easy to get at that hardly a
home in the States Of ana
Kansas will be without its turkey din

incompatible with civilization, and ne
has retired year by year until now only
the most secret places In the Aliegha-
mics and the vast swamps of the South
srn States give any hope for the per-
severing turkey hunter. The wonder Is
that the bird still exists at all. For
ever since the white man came all man
ner of nefarious schemes have been
~oncocte for his destruction.
Out in the wilds of Arkansas. whefe
the railroads have just begun to pene-
srate, the wild turkeys have mot yet
learned that civilization has laid claim
to this land, and this fall they often
perch calmly on the OF trees
along the railway track. The train

Aremen have . daily hunt Cor the game.

there is no wild game more wary thar

come acquainted will, the dangers
along the railroad, and then railroad
ing in will once more drop
back to the steady pace it holds else
where.
Taking him by and large, an old tur-
key gobbler is the quickest, swiftest,
shyest and most knowing animal with
wings or without. He ear run like q
greyhound, smell like a deer, see like
an eagle, and fly like a wild turkey.
You may have spent two hours in
crawling on your hands and knees over
q mountain open or in moving with
noiseless footsteps. each one of which
Is considered with careful Elaboration,
and a single, sudden turn Of your head,
snap of a twig. or CLEAN OF sunshine
on you gun will send a whole gang a
mile away n up the mountain. Up
ward it always is. When a wild turkey
does not like the looks of things he
wants the rockiest and toughest summit
of the highest headland of the topmost
ridge OF a whole range, and he GEN
orally gets it. If it is steep, he runs.
and he can run up faster than you can
fall down. II it Is q gentle rise he
thrashes the air with his mighty wings
clear up o~bstructing tree tops. and then
away he sails with the velocity that
belongs to a twenty-pound feathered
cannon bal.
Never for a moment are all of heir
guard. One, two or three Of their tall
necks are always stretched aloft ful
of eyes and ears, in statuesQue suspi-
cion. Now the old gobbler straight
ems up his head, poised four feet from
the ground, trim. graceful. powerful,
the sun glinting on the dark. iridescent
Gathers of his back and lower neck.
Now you decide he Is in range. Your
SS-calibre bullet strikes his noble breast
with a muf11ed thump. and the giant
wings wildly beat down the dry rag
weed while your magazine is emptied
yainly at the dark forms shooting of
toward the wooded mountain side.
He is a roya! creature this wild tur-
key, and you may hope to see an old
sobblsr tio the scales at t'tenty or
twenty-five pounds. Sluns over your
shoulder by the foot. his head bangles
