Every One Chases the Turkey at This Time

“Giva da turk." grins the red shawled little Italian •woman, picking her way through the wet alleys of the city market place. She reaches the stalls where live birds are being sold to these hardy souls who are equal to the task of carrying their* purchases home, squawking and struggling, through the city streets. Madonna Bella does not hesitate, however. She picks out the fiercest bird in the whole pen and runs her capable lingers through his feathers to feel if he really is as fat as he looks. Then she waits, her broad smile growing broader every minute, as the dealer weighs her treasure. The men and boys, to whom the day before Thanksgiving is one of the most entertaining in the whole calendar, stand around, shouting their glee, and finally Madonna Bella reaches out a strong hand, seizes her bird by the legs and thrusts it into the folds of her apron, departing proudly down the street. Next after her is a delegation of mirthful, rosy cheeked boys from the settlements come to buy “a good one” for Miss Sallie. It requires many moments of heated discussion before they can all agree upon just whfela one is good enough, and then more consultation before they decide that the association funds are being used to the best advantage in the purchase of the bird that is chosen. Thanksgiving teaches one thing—namely, that there is no need for a universal language. When there is a universal need the words take care of

INTRODUCING THE THANKSGIVING BIRD.

themselves. Italian, Greek, Norwegian, Russian and German, they know “toik” or ~t urk.” All day long the procession fills the streets. Boys with live birds under their arms, followed by shrieking crowds of children until they disappear in some dingy doorway; women with big bundles done up in burlap or old newspaper, which Sherlock Holmes, at least, can tell easily are turkeys by the size of the claws sticking out; limousines rolling noiselessly to the doors of shining emporiums where the democratic national bird costs at least 10 cents more than it does if you take it home alive from the public market, but it isn’t half as much fun; beautifully dressed women selecting the finest for the family feast of Dives; tired commuters rushing into the market and dashing out again, spilling nuts and celery and cranberries, but clutching without possibility of error the fattest -|urkey there is left in the market—this is the day before Thanksgiving in the big city. Nobody cares what the price is. It may be 25 cents or it may be 30. It makes very interesting reading two weeks beforehand. Father especially —and mother, if she is a member of the Housewives' league and feels a moral responsibility in these matters—likes to know whether lie’ll have to pay 5 cents more this year or only 3 more than he paid last year. But do you think the cost matters on the day before Thanksgiving? Does it matter to you?—New York Tribune.

Thanksgiving day ought to mean much to churchgoers. It is the one day in the year on which sectarians sink all their differences and unite in a common worship before God.

Turkey Not From Turkey.

It is unfortunate that such a truly American product as the turkey should have received such a name. Just how it came to be christened “turkey” is a matter of conjecture, but one early writer says: “It appears to have been intended as a satire upon the solemn strut of the bird, which might appear to give it a resemblance to the pompous stride of a Turk. Most assuredly it did not arise from the native place of the bird, which has no connection with eastern Europe or Asia. To suppose the bird meleagris. mentioned by Greek writers, to have been the turkey is quite a mistake. When discovered in America it was seen both in a wild and domestic state.”

Not Many “Vermont Turkeys.”

A standard form of printed bill of fare used by restaurants, hotejs and steamboats always announces that the turkey is from Vermont. Vermont farmers have done great things in recent years in improving breeds of turkeys and In marketing choice kinds, but the state does not account for 1 per cent of the trade in fine turkeys.

One Little Boy’s Thanksgiving

H CERTAIN Little Boy who lives in a family where children and holidays and dogs are all important factors in everyday life was talking about the next holiday. The Little Boy has a trait common to childhood of living largely in anticipation and-very little in memory. On the morning of Dee. 26 he awakes, unfatigued and alert, not to discuss yesterdays triumphs nor the wholesale unwise generosity of uncles and aunts. No, indeed! He begins his list for next Christmas. This Little Boy had finished a glori- '■ ous period of Halloween preparations, ; There was nothing he had not cut < and painted and planned that the mind of a five-year-old child could conceive of. He had had a glorious month of anticipation, and it had been crowned by a satisfactory Halloween revel, but memory was to him only an incentive' to further pursuit of joy, not a state wherein to rest awhile. “What’s the next holiday, mamma?” i asked Little Boy. “Thanksgiving, dear," answered mamma rather absently. Memory lin-' gers with mamma, as there is debris

enough to keep any feast in her mind for a day or so. “Oh, goodie! How soon it?” “About three weeks.” “Oh, that’s a long time! What shall we do to get ready?” “Why. we ll make pies and cookies.” “What else?” “Plum pudding and ice cream.” “And—go on, mamma, please.” “Nuts and raisins and cranberries.” “But—but. mamma, do you mean that Thanksgiving is just nothing but eating?” came the horrified rejoinder. Isn’t it too bad that thjs holiday that meant so much to our forefathers almost 300 years ago is now almost “just nothing but eating?” What could the mother do? She cast around in her mind—a mother’s mind is really more resourceful than the mind of a mere being who is not a mother—for something with which to glorify Thanksgiving to her child. Of course she finally dug up the story of the sufferings and triumphs of the pilgrims. She didn’t just read it out of a book to Little Boy. She word painted that forest and the little log houses, the pilgrim maids and men and the few queer, sober,' hardworking little children, the great bronzed Indians and the sunlight that glinted through the forest and through the hearts of these pioneer folk when they realized that God had so prospered their hard, hard work that there was food enough to last them during the coming winter. When the mother pictured the log bams and the rude bins and cells, all full of grain. Little Boy said. “Oh, I’m so glad!" “So were they, son, and so they set aside a day for their children’s children forever to thank God for all the good things that grow.” “Is there enough for everybody?” asked Little Boy. So then mother told him that, although there is enough for everybody, still everybody doesn’t get enotigh. She told him of all the kind people who try to help the “left out ones” on Thanksgiving day, and Little Boy, while they picked raisins and cleaned currants and made cooky men, planned one of everything for themselves and one for the “left out ones.” Thus Little Boy found: something in Thanksgiving besides just eating.— Mrs. Blanche Cole Rosedale In New York Evening Sun.
