He is big enough to satisfy some of the material craving of even the big game hunter, lie eludes the still hunt er as subtly as the shiest deer. He gives the cross country rider, coursing him with hound and horse, a run that often is equal to fox hunting. The wing shot finds him equal to the occa siou. He is the finest game bird in the world. Not even the royal auerhahn. sole living representative of the an cient big game world of Europe when the huge aurochs crashed through the forests, can compare with him. Hunting the wild bird with hound and horse is sport for the very select few, for not only is it necessary to find the birds first, but they must by found in open country where they cannot es cape too readily by flying into cover. Therefore, coursing is limited to open country where the turkey, not having been bunted too fervently, is incau tious enough to feed in farm lands and open, flat country. The dogs are sent In to cut olT the retreat to the woods, and then the mounted men break out of their hiding places and pound down on them. The wild turkey Hies and runs alter nately. He lopes like an ostrich, though not so fast, and whenever he thus takes to running the dogs and horses gain on him. When they get unpleasantly close, up booms the big bird and flies like a feathered projectile straight abend un til ho has reached a safe distance, when he pitches again and resumes running. It is clean sport and exciting enough to "hurry any man’s blood. But the true hunting of the wild turkey, with shotgun or ritle. that tests a man’s strength and cunning and woodcraft and patience to the full is still hunt ing. It may be enjoyed still in some parts of Pennsylvania, but the best territory for It is in the southern states. Vir- When a wild turkey is tracked on snow he will lead the shooter a chase of miles. The turkey can hear as keenly as he can see. A cracking twig underfoot will startle him more quick-1 ly even than it will a deer. Often the man will not be able to get a shot, al though he may follow a flock all day long. Often he will get his shot only after he has actually walked the birds down—tired them out by close, patient, grim pursuit. The man who can do that is an athlete. West Virginia contains thousands of acres of hunting eoufttry that is in many respects as wild as it was be fore the white men landed in America. Western North Carolina has turkeys, particularly between the Blue Ridge and the Great Smoky mountains, and thence on across into Tennessee the turkey hunter can still find surpris ingly large tracts of hunting country where not only turkeys, but deer and boar, hide in the thickets. — Boston Transcript.

Dcncription of nn Old Time TUnnkn- uHIuk IJinner In >evv Klnglnnd. Tne I'hnnksgiving feast of a century ago had a charm to it that today seems to be lacking, says the Seattle Times. Here is a description of one of these celebrations: “In the great red farmhouse on the hill preparations were begun long before the day. The turkey that stalked before the dooryard had been watched with lungry eyes and fattened with urgent .•are. Pumpkins had been brought from the cornfield to sun themselves on the wood pile. Ah, it was a sure sign of the day’s approach, and they might have defended their right to be there without being laughed at by tbe an cient chronicler’s words. ’Let no man make a Jest at pumpkins, for with this fruit the Lord was pleased to feed his people to their good content till corn and cattle were increased!’ A goodly supply of all garden vegetables was at hand. Apples and pears, the best in tbe orchard, bad been gathered and bidden away in the dark to mellow. Alas for the feast if there was not molasses enough to be bad! There could be none without it. Stores of raisins and citron bad been laid in, so there was some thing for the girls to do while the boys looked after the popcorn, which bad l>een seasoning in their wood shed chamber, or picked up walnuts under the old shagbark tree in tbe pasture. Then there was a deal of work neces iary within the house—the wedding ?hina to be brought out. tbe brasses all to be polished, especially the ancestral andirons, and the spare chambers to be set In order, with extemporized beds in every available comer—all ready for the homecoming. Grandpa and grand ma were the reigning sovereigns, and their family was a royal one. The night before Thanksgiving they are all there, and the duughters-in-law have stowed their little ones away in big feather beds, a dozen, more or less. In each, like sardines, and tbe youngsters have gone to tbeir pillow fight in tbe attic chain hers. “Around the huge open fireplace, bv tbe light of its burning logs, those boys of the olden times spin their yarns of childhood days and crack tbeir Jokes until the laughter changes to tears and they are ready for the evening prayer and tbe tender good night And then the Thuukscivlug morning! It Is clear and cold, perhaps tbe first snow upon tbe ground, for Boreas was wont to contribute something unusual before tbe days of weather reports. All the family are at church—it was expected and the proper thing, for family reli gion was on dress parade—and the gray haired parson, regardless of the passing time, rises to the occasion in fervent words of gratitude to God for his abundant mercies. Then comes the dinner, skillfully managed by the maid en mint—God bless her!—an indUpeu- sable condensation of virtue on such occasions, a dinner not so elaborate as bountiful not so elegant as healthful How the children's eyes dance, even ■hose of tiie babe in the big board era d'e who has no part or lot in ii.

The changing attitude of the Amer ican is shown in iii< increasing will Ingness to have Thanksgiving con— around every fc\s weeks and hi- r- luctauee to have a last day. I p in New England even, where fast day was as regular as feed day. it been me in the last few years an oceasion for military reviews and firemen's parades and picnics and doings like that rather than for prayer and mortiliciition of the flesh and the devil. It's a long time since the church bells have rung tbe people together to stisiain one an other through a day of short rations. Why. do you know, there are Amer icans who can cat at Dclmotiico's ev ery day in the year except Sunday and have turkey at evert me.

Massachusetts plum pudding, Califor nia oranges, Connecticut tobacco and Michigan celery, or the sad German, who must sit down to Philadelphia sauerkraut, Hoboken frankfurters, Brooklyn beer and bretzels made of Minnesota flour. And so, comparing our lot with a lot of other people’s lots, we take pride to ourselves and satisfaction and eat our annual bird with a light heart and a gravid stomach and are at peace with all the world, for we are feeding a good deal of that world as well as our selves and therefore ought to have its friendship and its money, if there is any money left outside of the United States.—Brooklyn Eagle. No business can possibly be successful that is tiot adver tised. This is a sweeping statement, but it is true. There are some merchants in this community whose experience apparently contradicts the statement. The contradiction, however, is only apparent. If they have attained any degree of success they have advertised. They have let people know what they had to sell, what they were here for and what they proposed to do. Just in proportion to the thorough ness with which they done this and met the conditions of their competitors they have suc ceeded. If they have used the newspa pers they have worked with the best tools so far as getting pub licity is concerned. If they have worked without the newspapers they have been handicapped and have not attained the highest possible measure of success. A fertile seed planted in fertile ground, carefully watered, will thrive and bear fruit. A properly organized business, in any inhabited place, well advertised will succeed. The law of growth is as certain and inexorable in one case as the other. f f * 0 s ? 1 * I 4 4 4 • + ♦ * i * A ♦ ♦ ♦ I ) Thankafrlvine Decoration*.

The downy thistle balls picked at the right time are effective mixed with autumn vines and berries. It should not be forgotten that au tumn leaves may be gathered at the moment of their greatest beauty In late October or t early November and beautifully preserved by being dipped lightly In a weak gum arable water.

When fried crisp remove the pork and put In a large onion, cut in thin slices, and let them fry a nice brown in the fat. Then put in the pigeons and let them brown on both sides; add a little butter. After the birds are well browned pour in enough water to cov er them to half their depth, season well with salt and pepper and let them simmer gently till quite tender; then add half a pint of cream, and when It bubbles add two tablespoonfuls of flour well dissolved in half a pint of cream. Stir it briskly to keep from lumping. Next take out the pigeons, lay them nicely in n deep baking dish, pour tbe gravy over them; make a rich pie crust, roll It out. lay It over the birds, mois ten the edge of the dish so the crust adheres, cut a few little gashes in the crust, stand the dish in a moderate oven and let the pie bake tbree-quar ters of an hour.

This fact ex plains why Malaria is hard to cure by the old method of treatment. Quinine. Iron, etc., stimulate the nerves and build up the blood, but do not destroy the germs that cause the disease. Rydale’s Tonic has a specific effect upon the intestines and bowels, freein tr them from all disease breeding mi- c.obes. It also kills the germs that infest the veins and arteries. It drives from the blood all poisonous matter and makes it rich and healthy. RYDALE’S TONIC is a blood builder, a nerve restorer, and a Malaria destroyer. Try it, it will not disap point you.
