The Wild Turkey/ Among the birds that are now dis appearing from the United States and Hooji to l>e classed wltji the extinct passenger pigeon is the wild turkey, a bird that attracted high >pralse from Audubon and from llenjamln Frank lin ; from the lirst for its iridescent brill luncy of plumage and from the other because of the delicacy of lis flesh. No great numl>er of years ago, be fore the forests had given way to open llelds, wild turkeys were abundant in indiuna, so much so that various places in the state received names testifying to that fact, says The Indianapolis News. Among these are an isiahd in tire lower Wubusli called Turkey Is land, and a stream called Turkey Kun, The wild turkey is about il l-? feet long and Weighs 15 to 20 pouhdff/ Tlie plumage of the mnle^-the female is of more somber colors ? is copper bronze, with green fln<] metallic reflec tions, tlie feathers margined with black. The tall feathers are chestnut, burred with black ftnd tipi>ed with a wide bar and a companion bar of white. ? How this bird, the largest of the gallinaceous family on this contiuont, came to be called "turkey" is un known. It is a native of the western hemisphere and was "introduced into, Europe by the Spaniards. It was flrat described by Oviedo In 1527, who speaks of It as having been taken from Mexico to the neighboring island of Cuba and there domesticated. It was carried to England early In the -six teenth century and has been domesti cated nearly all over the civilised world, but the domestic bird has, it Is said, degenerated from Its prototype In size, beauty and delicacy. Sharpening Himself. When the train stopi>ed at the lit tle Southern station the tourist from the North sauntered out and gazed curiously at a lean animal with scrag gy bristles, which was rubbing Itself against a scrub oak. "What do you call that?" he asked curiously of a native, according to The Ladles' Home Journal. 1 "Razorback hawg, sub." "What Is he doing robbing himself against that tree?" "He's stropping hisself, sub, just stropping blMself." Passing of the Gypsy. . There Is nothing in the memory of youth that has more of the element pf fascination that the wandering gypsy, relates The Philadelphia Press. In it was the fearsome as well. Measured by the conventional standards of life, it was a strange and uncanny career. There were no confining rules of con duet to be observed, no confinement in prison-like schoolroom when the world outside beckoned so Invitingly to the spirit of youth, no compulsion to do aught else than fancy prompted. Nor has this envy of the gypsy, freedom ? I boon confined to the youth. There Js many a moment in mature life when the thought of drifting hither and yon In the <?]hmi air appeals strongly to the man who is chained to office or fac tory. To have the powor to move or to tarry as you will, to have a horfie wherever you ehoose to light a camp fire, to see the world and all that in It lies, these are* not unpleasant thoughts to the person burdened with the daily round of duties. To the gypsy the things that harass and worry the n6rmal life are but the merest bubbles in the air. To him there is no such thing as the high cost of living. v Taxes are as unknown to hitn as the Irregularities of the Greek rerb. Not even the Income tax can mar his pleasure in life. In the gypsy lexicon there is no such word as landlord, and no such thing as rent He is above the conventionalities that hedge us about. Fie is free from re s{>ousibillties of every type and kind. Panics pass him by, and good times and hard times are to him just the same. But like the other things of tHa world that smack of freedom aud irffct sensibility, the gypay is fast dlsai&s lies ring. Uke the Indian and the bt#* falo and other institutions of the Ame? ica of the {Met tie Is fading away. i m KXPBNHB OK MAKING A PAPER. Cheapest Ttiiuji itt Th? World Today When Cost U CfliiHWered.

I Literary excellence counts little to ward success In the dally newspaper. The heHt written newspaper New York j has today has the smallest circulation. The most scholarly morning newspaper the city ever had was a flat failure. The newspaper that has the largest I circulation In New York Is a horror according to literary and accepted! newspaper standards. The tremendous circulation of this sheet Is explained by Its subordination of news to fea tures having a particular appeal to the large polyglot population of the metroiwlls which reads little but head lines unless the Htory be a thriller or a sensation or a great scandal but which is strong for funny pictures, I .sporting gossip, portraits of pretty women and short tales with throbs I and sobs. ' . in no business is errors more costly than in the newspaper. The success I of The Times is not to be ascribed to brilliancy, but to fidelity to the three great essentials of accuracy, common sense and the news. The day of per- 1 sonal journalism is past. There are I only a few newspajiers in America that are organs such as The Tribune j was under Greeley; The Times under Raymond or The Herald, under the elder Bennett. The controlling spirit of the modern great newspaper is not ] the editor but the publisher. He may lack some of the fervor of the men who were distinguished In a former I generation Of^ievvspaper makers butl be produces a saner, a better and a I more satisfactory publication. - Speaking of newspaper costs brings to attention a paragraph printed in The Campbells vllle, ivy., News- Journal, which the editor published as having been received by, "an editor," presum ably the one of The News-Journal. It reads as folows: "Please send me a few copies of the paper containing the obituary of my aunt. Also publish the enclosed clip ping of the marriage of my niece, who lives in Lebanon. And I wish you would mention in your local column, If it don't eost anything, that I have two bull calves for sale, As my sub scription Is out, please stop my* paper. Times are too bad to waste money on newspapers." ~ The letter may be genuine or it may be the satirical production of a news paper maker but, who ever the author, it represents admirably the mental at titude of a vast number of jiersons toward the newspaper. The average man or woman thinks the charge for an advertisement, no matter what it may be, is too high. The general lde$ Is that the newspaper has to fill lts\ columns and that anyone who helps in any manner in the filling Is doing a favor to the editor. To the country editor the collection of subscriptions Is the bane of his life. Many a man ?boncst In other lines will think noth' lng of dodging payment of his sub scription to his county paper and feels resentcnient if the paper stops com ing. Not a few persons who pay for the paper mpre or less regularly feel 'in their hearts they are doing an act, of charity and that they are placing the editor under a debt of gratitude. The cheapest thing In the world to day Is the newspaper. . There are few businesses in which the margin of profit is so small. It Is because so many newspapers have a hard strug gle for existence and so many readers fall to realize their worth and what it costs In money amV effort to pro Sd\y;e them that we are Inclined to be lieve the lady of the two bull calves had her letter written where the Smell of printer's Ink Is strong, and _.t.he dink of coin in the ca^li drawer is a glad but Infrequent sound.
