THE EDITORS sANCTUM

As a rule the Editor is always busy,
To watch him awhile would make you
dizzy,
His hair is unkempt, his face ink
lesmeared.
He looks as though he never sheared
Yet scissors are plentiful. and knives
all around,
He clips and cuts from the papers
found,
To contain any item he deems Of use,
That will make the "Sheet" of matter
profuse.
The walls are bedecked with clippings
and pictures,
The floor IL strewed with Literary
mixtures,
No artist could paint such Il motley
den,
Nor author describe with realistic
pen.
II you would desire to gain his ear,
And draw chair up to him near,
You'd find him with precccupied
stare,
Which IL you disturb, at you he would
glare.
So do not beard the Lion" in his den
While he is using his scissors, or pen
For you would fail to get his attention
And might say things too strong to
mention
An editor must he resourcefully
prolific
To publish items descriptively specific
And please his patrons, whose wants
he must learn,
While varied ideas, he must likewise
discern.
Weddings and funerals must have due
attention,
Parties or Quarrls, and sports, he may
mention,
But Personal news, and private
views,
He carefully cuts, and subtly eschews.
So now do not judge the Editor
harshly,
Or criticse his actions rashly,
Remember he's man society needs.
To keep us posted Of its deeds.
For after all. he's human, as you VIII
find him,
Generous, too. and socially kind,
Away from his office, at home well
dressed,
You'll find him at his very best.

That was sufficient excuse for Mar
garet to sound an alarm that brought
the crew of the Crystal stumbling and
tumbling to the deck, where they ut

set out in another boat to rescue Sam

cording TO those early explorers, tur-
keys were to be found, both wild and
domesticated.
Cortes, in one of his famous letters
written about 1918, mentions the tur-
key. He carried specimens of the bird
to Spain in 1920, where they came into
Immediate popularity, and the breed
ing OF turkeys soon became establish
ed. 1t was then that the turkey be-
came known as 'pavos," on account
Of his relationship to the peacock,
which was then called 'pavo real'-
the fowl of kings.
1t was long time before the tur-
key reached France, as far as can be
learned from history. for the first tur-
key eaten there was at the wedding
of Charles IN and Elizabeth of Aus
trla. June 81, 1879. or 80 years after
Spain had first tasted the bird. The
turkey supplied for the wedding came
from Somewhere In the American
wilderness"
Its introduction into England seems
to have been in 1924. But. whenever
1t was, 1t soon came into popular favor
and was given such local names as
Black Norfolk and Large Cambridge.
1t is an Interesting fact that these
descendants of the parent stock were
carried back again across the Atlantic
ocean to New England, where. crossed
with the original turkey already there,
they began the breed that has spread
from one end OF the country to the
other.
Many have been the explanations
made as to how the bird now so popu-
lar at Thanksgiving came to be called
the turkey, most of which. to the true
scientist, are nothing but fanclful. Tho
bird was called turkey because it was
supposed to come from Turkey, where
1t was known as an Egyptian hen.
The markets of north Europe received
this fowl as coming from south Eu-
rope, directly or Indirectly from Tur-
KEY. In France however, the bird was
called "dindon," or in the feminine
"dinde," ms though it were the fowl
dIndc-from India.
But whatever dispute has arisen ms
to the name OF the turkey, the fact yet
remains that the turkey is Indigenous
to America. Although scientists be
Iieve it is possible that there was
species, the original Of the present tur-
key, indigenous to the West India is
lands, 1T is generally conceded that all
turkeys have descended in some way
or other from the three forms known
today as the North American, the Mex
lean and the Honduras, the ocellated
variety.
The Mexican turkey is found wild
throughout the republic. 1t appears to
be the species first taken to Spain and
other European countries. 1t Is
thought that the white markings Of the
variety of domestic turkey known to-
day as the Narragansett come from
this species.
Whatever the turkey may have miss
ed through failing to secure that place
of honor suggested for 1t by Benjamin
Frnnklin-as the national bird-it has
nevertheless found place in the re-
gard of the American people which is
held by no other fowl-at least ut
Thanksgiving.

by water and alighted. But he found
1t only deep mud. So he decided to
hunt farther for some dry place on
which to rest. But, alas. when he
came to fly. he found his tail feathers
stuck fast in the mud.
He pulled and pulled, but could not
get them loose. Finally, however, AZ

himself. But bits of mud stuck to the

The turkey plays more important
part In the life of the Indian than in
his legends alone. Not only is 1t re-
garded as choice article Of food, but
In many tribes 1t is held sacred. In
the parts of the country where curious
devotion to animals characterizes
different stages in the develop
ment of cIvilization-it was never eat
en- except when other food was un-
obtainable.
Turkey feathers rank next In impor-
tance to those of the eagle with all
tribes, while the Apaches, the Pamun-
keys and Cheyennes chose the turkeys
feathers for all ceremonial headdresses
and ornaments. The Pamunkey tribe
also used turkey feathers for Orna-
mental purposes on their clothing, as
well as for their headgears. To this
day. when they don their native cos
tunes. the turkey feather Is preferred
as ornament.
II Benjamin Franklin's words had
been needed, the turkey would have
been the national bird of the United
States. The eagle Is first cousin to
the species known of old In the eastern
hemisphere. Furthermore, II has np-
peared upon the banners of many ma
tions. 1t was symbol of the Roman
empire. 1t was known In China for
ages, and today 1t appears upon the
banners of Russia. Germany and sew
eral other nations.
The turkey, however, is Indigenous
to America. When the early Eu-
ropean adventures and settlers ar
rived they beheld great flocks of tur-
keys, and it soon became known that
they were n favorite food among the
Indians. After a while turkeys were
proudly sent home as trophies of the
chase. In this way the turkey became
practically worldfavorite as food.
When Cortes in 1919 assembled to the
plateau OF Mexico he found n social
life deyeloDed to high degree of re-
flnement. He was entertained with
oriental magnifcence. All the dell
cacies to be found within the empire
we're set before him. and though game
was abundant, the turkey held the
place of honor among the fowl. This
was the first time that the Spaniards
had eaten turkey.
North of the Rio Grande the turkey
was equally well known and treasured
The celebrated expedition OF Coronado,
between 1927 and 1917, penetrated this
uncxplored region west Of the Missis-
