HE OUGHT TO BE GRATEFUL.

What Better Fate For the Turkey Than Making a Whole Nation Glad? What finish more honorable and impressive for a bird than,to be fated to die to make happy an entire nation? For this brief golden period the eagle is only a remote symbol. The Thanksgiving bird is magically transformed into a tempting thing of appetizing odors, an eye entrancing vision of glistening brown and bronze and bringing in its train attendants of the Held that crisply show ivory white and pale emerald and translucent, liquid ruby. In the turkey at this season there are the pride of country, the religious sense of a nation and its sustaining hopefulness, the racial family spjrit that “makes the whole world akin” and provides the very essence of pleasing plenty.
