TheCobbler on Thanksgiving
BY MARY GRAHAM BONN

stT CAN'T help gobbling, / can't help boast1ng'
l can't help being proud and / can't help
strutting," said Mr.. Turkey.
The barnyard animals looked at Mr. Turkey
He quite an important looking fellow but
still he pretty conceited; yes, he was pretty
cOnceited.
"Theres a good deal you can't help, isn't
there?" the other barnyard animals said, wink

Father Turkey


gobble, gobble, you think perhaps that I am un-
duly conceited. But no. listen to me. This is my
story: In the sprngtime, when | was born, my
mother that all of us children we'll looked
after for the first four weeks Especially did she
see that we didn't get our feet wet
"Now, mothers are often particular that their
children should not get their feet wet. They make
them rubbers. There are no rubbers
for turkeys, so our mothers cannot do such things
So they have to watch us all the time during these
first four weeks. To be sure, I don't believe
human children walk about when they're as young
as that. But matter. When they do walk
about and if they do get their feet wet it may
mean they'll have bad colds. But it's more i'm
portant with turkeys than that If turkeys get
their feet wet before they four weeks old they
will never grow up to be strong turkeys They will
be sickly and wretched. SO the first four weeks of
a turkeys life are most important
but that is not why I am conceited, oh, no,
am strong My mother took good care of me.
New-York tribune., 1919-11-23

SAID MI. Turkey, yes,
But lately / have been fed more and more deli
caces I have not had to go looking for food
myself 1t has been brought to me, nice cornnlea
and such good things. And I've had all I could
