A little Somerville girl who went into the country recently missed a turkey that she had admired when she was at the same place last year, and asked where he was. It was suggested to her that the turkey might have been killed for Thanksgiving. A few daywfffter-’ ward she discovered that a goose and a dog were also missing. Rushing into the house to impart the information she exclaimed: “The goose and the dog aren’t here, either, papa! I think they must have killed the goose for Christmas and the dog for Easter!”
