A TURKEYS THANKSGIVING.

Gobble Gobble was a big fat turkey.
He lived on a farm where there were
lots Of chickens and ducks and geese.
They had a good time, for Farmer
Binks, who owned the farm, gave them
lots to eat and took good care OF them.
Gobble Gobble was fond of eating, and
he was one Of the latest turkeys of the
flock.
He'll be fine roasted" said Farmer
Blnks to his wife. II think Wen keep
him for Thanksgiving"
The day before Thanksgiving there
was a good deal going on in the house.
Every one seemed busy and gay.
When the farmer sent his son jim
my out to feed the poultry Gobble
Gobble asked him what was going on.
But as Gobble Gobble used turkey talk
In speaking to Jimmy OF course the lit
tie boy didn't understand
When Jimmy went whistling into
the house he forgot to close the gate
after him, and Gobble Gobble darted
out.
IF Thanksgiving means having a
good time I'm going Off to have a good
limel my SELL bODDle GODDle SAID, as
he trotted or I'm the direction OF the
woods. Guess I'll go Off and be a
wild turkey. as Grandfather Turkey
Trotter said our folks all were In the
long ago"
SO he went through the woods look
ing for wild turkeys to live with. but
there were none there or, Of course,
folks would have gone out to the
woods and got one whenever they
wanted turkey dinner.
Poor GObble Gobble couldn't find
much to eat for supper. He slept I'm a
tree. just as Grandfather Turkey Trot
ter said their folks had done I'm the long
ago. but II wasn't so comfortable as he
had expected
Gobble Gobble had crck I'm his neck
when he got up. and breakfast was
most as scarce as supper had been.
He wandered about In the woods for
day or two before Farmer Binks' son
found him. Thanksgiving was over.
HE would have been so much ten
derer than old Turkey Trotter," sighed
Jimmy's mother wen have to keep
Gobble Gobble for Christmas"

Thanksgiving Ode
ByyOHN CREENLEAF WHITTIER

ONCE more the liberal year
~ laughs out
Ger richer stores than
gems Of gold;
Once more with harvest song and
shout
Is natures bloodless triumph
told.
Our common mother rests and
sings. .
Like Ruth. among her gamered
sheaves.
Her lap is full Of goodly things;
Her brow is bright with autumn
leaves.
. favors every year made newI
Q gifts with rain and sunshine
sentl
The bounty ovenuns our due;
The fullness shames our discon-
tent.
We shut our eyes. and flowers
bloom on;
We murmur, but the corn ears
fill;
We choose the shadow. but the sun
That casts it shines behind us
still.
God gives us with our rugged soil
The power to make it Eden fair
And richer fruits to crown our toll
Than summer welded islands
bear.
Who murmurs at his lot todayp
Who scoms his native fruit and
bloom
Or signs for daintics far away
Beside the bounteous board of
homer
Thank heaven. instead. that free
dom's arm
Can change rocky SOIL to gold;
That brave and generous lives can
warm
A cline with northern ices cold.
And let these affairs, wreathed with
flowers
And piled with fruits. awake
again
Thanksgiving for the golden hours,
The early and the latter rain.

How the turkey came by It's name
has been moot question for long
time
The Thanksgiving fowl Is an Amer
lean bird which was introduced to
Europe from the new world and had
nothing whatever to do with Turkey
or the Turks. The name turkey, how.
ever. was originally applied to tho fowl
which Is now known as the guinea
fowl, and some authors IN the six
teenth and seventeenth centuries con
founded the two species.
AS both birds became more common
and better known, to quote the En-.
cyclopedla Britannica, "the distinction
was gradually perceived, and the name
turkey became restricted to that from
the new world, possibly because OF its
repeated call note, 10 be syllabled

NATURE ASSISTS IN
 UNCOVERING COPPER MINE
(From Thursdays Oaily)

Bert Roland, who arrived from Cop per Basin yesterday, brought news of another strike made 6 few days ago under circumstances that are of ex- ceptional interest, in which nature was the prospector to uncover what has the ear-marks oi a future red metal bonanza.
 The discovery was made by a young man who was travelling on foot down the grade below the saddle about mid way to the Commercial camp, where dyke of about two feet in width had been exposed by flood waters coming out of the ravi1e. Over three feet Of the road had been washed away. leaving this formation in view. An inquisitive desire to ascertain what 1t carried revealed native copper and ore in an oxidized condition. when the location notice was pasted there on at once. The dip of the ore body appeared to be vertical. The new owner has already started develop ment.
 That zone of Copper Basin was later investigated to establish legal rights of location, and without con flicting with other holdings. The new copper was proven to be on un- occupied territory. thereby relieving the new owner of any intention 10 jump other peoples ground. He has made but ono location.
