A turkey is a large body of food,
surrounded by hungry persons, and
delightful atmosphere of anticipa
tion. Although a native of the tem
perate zone, it 16 frequently found !n
other belts, and signs of have beei.
detected in restaurant hash, near the
tatter end of the week. It was first
discovered by the Pilgrim fathers and
in some respects closely recemWes the
Plymouth Rock, though scientists tell
us that there is no relation between
the two. Although the grocer will tell
you that the turkey i« becoming rap
idly extinct, ycu are fully justified in
toraing him a hard look, as much as
to say, "Oh, it Is not," for In the rural
district and the grocer's storage room
the turkey still abounds.
Through an unfortunate state of
circumstances, the committee in
charge, having its mind more to th?
stern things of life, the turkey was
not named aB our national bird, and
in its stead we have the bald headed
eagle, a rare old fowl, but. of small
use except as a suitable adornment to
the far side of our silver dollar. How
ever, while the bald eagle has usurped
the rightful throne of the turkey, the
latter is still greatly looked up to by
cur Americtin pec pi?, especially dur
ing the hours of night or early morn
ing.
The turkey has its beprlnni-'s in a
medium sized freckled esp. usually
laid by its mother, who, when she has
enough of these eggs about her, gen
erally gathers them up in her apron
and carries them away to the jiiupson

ance. The full grown turkey possesses
a fierce combative eye, and when irri
tated assumes a truly pompous ex
pression of countenance and emits a
harsh note of warning vulgarly known
as a "gobble" and when very hot, gives
forth a not unpleasant odor. How
ever, the turkey is not a ferocious bird
and will but seldom resist an attack,
this resistance coming only from a
very old fowl, such a3 is generally
found about a table d'hote.
Prom September first until the lat
ter end of November the habits of the
bird are of peculiar interest to the
American people, and great concern is
manifested in Its welfare. This no
ble bird plays a mere or less Import
ant part In the domestic life of the
American, there being many uses to
which he, or parts of him are put. In
Pair Oaks, Mich., the feathers of the
turkey are used for the manufacturing
of an Important adjunct to feminine
wear, while in the country home the
wings of the bird are considered .in
dispensable as cleaners of the hearth.
The foot of the turkey, while having
no especially peculiar use to the bird,
other than that of assisting its owner
to walk, Is a structure of some weird
ness in the matter of formation as may
be judged from the contour of numer
ous lakes, supposed to resemble it in
outline. There is scarcely a state in
the union, excepting Arizona, which
1HS not one or several turkeyfoot
lakes, all of which are said to conform
to their banks in such a manner as to
fcrni their waters into this design.
In some parts of the United States
the flesh of the turkey is devoured by
the natives, who say that the taste
closely resembles that of chicken
though even finer. When cooked the
bird sheds some of its feathers and
assumes a deep coat of tan and a dig
nified sller.ee.
The less of th.' cocked turkev,
which etiquette and modesty have
chosen to dub drum sticks, are de
clared by epicures to be tha most di
lectable portion of fowl, and are us
ually drawn by the minister. The
"wish bone," or front gable, of the
tin key is a straugely shaped bit of me
chanism resembling the numeral on
a $5 bill, and is the nucleus of a pret
ty bit of sentiment. The person who
u:ieiirths this spar from the general
wreckage is supposed to turn to his
neighbor with some jocular remark
about the weather and tender him the
north e:id of the bone. The neighbo.
is of course greatly surprised, recov
ers himself in time to get ills fingers
greasy aud there ensues a tug of wai
If the wish bone is a real one it breaks
ii
:der this strain and while the holder
cf the smaller bit is digging the dres
sing cut of his eye, which flies out
frcm the flat end of the bona, the more
lucky puller places ais section above
the ilror frame. The first person en
tering this door may be kissed by the
winner of the pull. Unless the house
is filled with young girls it were wise
THB EVENING TIME8, GRAND FORKS, N. D.
to place the bone above the china
closet door, as one can never tell what
may. happen.
The neck of the turkey is of great use
to itu owner but none whatever to hu
manity. A turkey neck Is as useless
as a mother-in-law's Christmas pres
ent. But with all its uselessness this
section of anatomy turns up about the
home with astounding regularity, em
erging to the sordid gaze from the
depths of a pot pie or a bowl of soup
like a delinquent gaB bill.
When purchasing a turkey for the
Thanksgiving dinner it Is well to ex
amine the bird's teeth as very old
fowls have been tbooed by the best
eaters. The turkey has not a broad
flat nose. That's a buck. The bill of
a turkey is dhort and sharp like that
of a pelican and amounts to several
dollars.
HAS DISAPPEARED.
Sew
wife Who
York Han Seeks llis
Disappeared.
In a letter to Chief Wade of Fargo
George A. Wallace of New York city
asked the police to assist in locating
his wife, who, it is believed, came to
Fargo to visit her s.ster, Mrs. Al. Irn
us.
Mr. Wallace stated that his wife left
their home and children in New York
on Oct. 29, and that the last he heard
from her was in Buffalo, N. Y., on No
vember 3.
While In that city his wife stated
that she had received a railroad ticket
to Fargo, which was sent to her by her
sister in Fargo whom she had not seen
for nineteen years.
Mrs. Imus lives at 1426 First avenue
south, Fargo, where Chief Wade had
a conference with her.The sister
stated thaat she had received a letter
from both her sister and her sister's
husband, but that she had not seen
her. She stated to Chief Wade that
she had not seen her sister in nineteen
years and that she had never seen her
sister's husband. She was greatly ag
itated over the sudden disappearance
cf her sister.
Mr. Wallace, in his letter stated that
he belived that bis wife might have
been slightly demented when she left
home as he could give no reason for
her sudden disappearance.
WRECK NARROWLY AVERTED.
Slight Incident Prevented a Catastro
phe on the Great Northern.
A head on collision between two
loaded passenger trains Tunning at the
rate of fifty miles per hour, says the
Fargo Forum, was narrowly averted
on the Great Northern last Sunday
night by a most trivial Incident, ac
cording to C. R. Meredith of the Mere
dith Wholesale Drug company.
Mr. Meredith has been spending
some time in the northwestern part of
the state, returning last evening.
Sunday night he was riding in the
observation car of the Oriental limit
ed east bound, and the train was near
lng Devils Lake. He was in the
smoking compartment and happening
to feel a little warm, requested the
conductor to open the door at the rear
of the train to let in a little fresh air.
That official complied and as he gazed
down the track he started suddenly,
and a look of fright swept over his
face. The next instant he jumped for
the bell rope, which he pulled vigor
ously, and then applied the emergency
brakes. The wondering passengers
felt the train slow down and come to
a stop very suddenly. Then in ans
wer to another bell rope signal it be
gan to back.
Shortly after it was brought to a
standstill a long passenger train trav
eling at high speed flashed by the win
dows. There were few passengers on
rhe train who understood and appre
ciated the fact that their lives and
those of scores of others of their fel
low passengers had been saved by the
merest incident.
When the conductor opened the rear
door in response to Mr. Meredith's re
quest he saw that the block signal
which the train was passing was set
in such a way as to indicate that two
passenger trains were scheduled to
pass at that point In the blinding
snow the signal was obscured and the
engineer of the eastbound train had
failed to see the signal. The conduc
tor saw it just in time and by prompt
action succeeded in backing the train
on a switch in time to avert the im
pending catastrophe. The incident
serves to Illustrate how even the most
improved methods of running trains
and with the best of Intentions on the
part of officials, accidents are likely
to happen which may bring instant
and unexpected death to passengers
and train crew.
If a man steadily pursues an honor
able, consistent course, people don't
always give him credit, they are apt
to say he is bull headed.

With grateful hearts we draw
Thanksgiving cheer.
Occasionally, these days we get a
glimpse of real old fashioned hospital
ity, the kind that creeps right Into the
marrow of your bones and makes your
blood tingle with the true spirit of
good fellowship.
Never is this feeling more Universal
or more potently expressed than on
Thanksgiving, th? occasion for festive
home gatherings, reunions and where
strangers are made welcome as one
of vcur own kin.
Lucky and blessed is the woman
who can extend hospitality on this
day, and lucky, toe. is the host who
can preside at his own board, among
congenial spirits.
Bachelors, maidens, widowers and
widows, please sit up and take notice.
Of cours?, the first and principal
feature of the day's program is the
piece de resistance, the turkey dinner,
that has become one of the articles of
the American constitution.
We are going to adhere to the tradi
tional Thanksgiving dinner and give
only simple, wholesome food, bounti
fully spread, but minus the frills ana
furbelows of the French chef, with
bis manifold sauces and high season-'
ings, but such a menu that the aver
age mine hostess on this day must be
free from any anxiety over Mary
Anne's ability to serve correctly and
with the lightness of touch and quick
ness of movement that characterizes
all good waitresses.
If there lurks the slightest suspic
ions In the hostess' mind that Mary
Anne may become tuuddled at serving
so large a party and that the salad
may supplant the turkey-fh"ii6int of
turn, a simple detailed account of just
how to serve the dinner, the position
of the courses as they follow each
other, will keep her on the right track
and greatly relieves your doubts.
As a matter of precaution, a slip of
paper pasted on the pantry door for
future reference, offers a timely as
surance both to yourself and serving
maid that at least the courses will
follow correctly, which after all, is the
crowning touch to a carefully planned,
well cooked meal.
Do Not Make Dinner Too L6ng.
It is a very serious mistake to keep
your guests at the table for three or
four hours, as is frequently the case
though, to be sure, part of this time is
taken up at the conclusion of the din
ner, as the men linger over their cot
fee and cigars, and with the inevitable
flow of gossip througout the meal.
The groaning board that our grand
fathers knew has been materially re
duced. Make it a rational Thanks
giving feast.
We no longer have innumerable
kinds of vegetables, pastries and sav
ories that were overpoweringly heavy,
and which contrived to make the par
ticipants dread a similar attack of in
digestion which followed in the wake
of overfeeding.
Plan of Menu.
Make every dish served typically
American and thoroughly character
istic and timely and appropriate.
In the first place, you will be given
your dinner with equally good taste
by serving it in either five, eight or
nine courses.
The foundation of the dinner con
sists of an appetizer, soup with relish
es. turkey with vegetables, a salad, a
dessert of pies—pumpkin, mince and
apple to which may be added an ice
and a steamed pudding if desired, nuts
raisins and coffee.

SOME APT SUGGESTIONS TO
THE HOUSEWIFE ON DINNER
(From the Seattle Times.)
The waning year grows brown and
gray and dull,
And poets sing November bleak and
sere
But from the bounteous garnered har
vest store,
PAGE THREE
Between the 60up and turkey you
many introduce something light to pre
pare the way for the heaviest part of
the dinner, fish or chicken pie, or a
rabbit may follow the turkey. When
one is giving an elaborate Thanksgiv
ing dinner a course of sherbet made
of lemon Ice and Hatred wiUi n!3'
may be introduced after the turkey.
This ia delightfully cooling, especially
when game follows that is served with
a salad. Slices of partridges, wild
duck or quail are very toothsome.
The Mens la Detail.
In the way ot a tempUng appetiser,
oysters on the shell in a bed ot icet
with lemon on the side ,or a cocktail
in the center, with oysters grouped
around, are much favored. Oysters
in cocktail are equally appropriate.
The alternative of this and one more to
the taste of many, is the wholesome
grape fruit, halved with its contents
shredded, into which are dropped
halved white and red grapes with the
seeds removed and a dash of rum over
all, or dotted with Marachino cherries
with Maraschino wine poured over.
For the soup courses we have a
most tempting assortment: cream of
celery makes one hungry just writing
about it, but a rich chicken, tomato
with croutons, or corn, are all good in
their way, served with toasted crack
ers.
Here is an excellent occasion to in
troduce your star home-made relish
es. Old fashioned chow-chow, pickled
onions, cucumber relish, sweet and
sour pickles, olives celery, crisp and
yellow, and salted nuts give you ample
choice.
If you want another course to pre
cede the turkey, boiled salmon with
egg sauce or fillets of halibut are in
order. Individual chicken pies, too,
are toothsome at this part of the
menu.
Sir Gobbler In All Ills Glory.
How shall we do Justice to this
great American bird, that all his suc
culent juices may be retained, and the
flavor unimpaired? That's the ques
tion.
There is one thing we may credit
the American housekeeper with know
ing that her colonial prototype did net
know, and that is the art of correctly
roasting his majesty.
No longer is a turkey placed on his
back and kept in that position through
out his sojourn In the oven, so that all
the juice may run down and baste his
backbone, which eventually 1s turned
over to the four-footed tribe. Instead
the turkey is turned and turned until
the juice has thoroughly saturated the
breast and he has assumed a beauti
ful, nut-brown complexion.
With regard to the prrper stuffing,
this important detail is largely a mat
ter of personal taste. Some very ex
cellent cooks maintain that stuffing
largely absorbs the succulent juices,
leaving the meat dry and tough. It is
largely customary, however, to em
ploy stfflng in some savory form.
Bread crumbs nicely seasoned with
finely chopped onions and herbs make
a simple and palatable filling. Oys
ters, chestnuts, sausage cakes, chop
ped veal and prunes, the latter a me
thod hailing from Denmark, are other
means advantageously employed.
It is well to remember that a soggy,
badly seasoned stufflug will spoil the
flavor of the finest bird that ever
grew.
The best husband in the world will
eat more than his share of the spring
chicken. But women never care as
much about eating as do the men.
After a woman passes 35, it isn't so
ciety that keeps her up late nights. It
is the time it takes to apply complex
ion creams and hair restoratives.
