WHY?
Why do we speak Of someone as being
aas poor as Jobs tnrkeyl.
Copywright. 1920 by
Wheeler Syndicate. Inc.


The aptness Of the simile "as poor
as o church mouse" Is apparent at
once when we remember that few
churches contain anything that ro-
dent would find edible and that the
mouse who found himself in a place
Of worship would probably starve 70
death for want Of nourishment. But
the expression "as poor as Jobs tur-
key" has reference 10 the biblical ac-
count Of the trials Of this sanity man
whose ruin was so complete that, IN
addition to being deprived II his
children and all his possessions. tho
story Is told that even his turkey
was left without a feather In its tail.
TO be strictly accurate, the kind Of
fowl which was domestcated in the
region where job lived was not, ac-
cording 10 our understanding Of the
spe4 les. a turkey" at all. for this
bird Is Indigenous TO America and ~
eeived its name owing to an error on
the part Of Europeans who thought
that 1t came from the Ottoman Em-
pre-. But at the time that this sirniIc
about the Biblical fowl came into gen
eral use, the turkey was a familiar fig
u-o in the barnyard and his name was
given to Jobs famous bird.
