EXTENDING TIME OF THANKS
Each Day Might Be Made a Season
for Expressing Gratitude for
Manifold Blessings.
It Is human nature to pay more heed
to things which discomfort us than
to those which contribute to our happi
ness. The latter we accept as a mat
ter of course and do not regard very
attentively until, perchance, we are
deprived of them, when we promptly
number them among our regrets and
repiue over them frequently.
If we were to devote five minutes
a day to recalling the things for which
we, as individuals or as citizens, have
reason to be thankful, we should find
ourselves much happier and the world
would he much easier to get along
with. In time, perhaps, we should find
our thankful periods extending them
selves and our periods of worry and
discontent growing correspondingly
shorter.
This being the Thanksgiving time,
officially designated for a review of
our blessings. It might be a good time
to Inaugurate a plan for being thank
ful for at least a few minutes every
day. One does not require to be a
l'ollyannu to accomplish tills.

MEXICO ITS HOME
Domestic Species of Turkey Had
Origin There.
Thanksgiving Bird, So Well and Fa
vorably Known Today, Never of
the Wild Species.
At this time of the year when the
feasting holidays are here, almost
everyone thinks of turkey, which also
took an important part In the first
Thanksgiving of the Puritans, the
founders of Thanksgiving as we know
It today. Little is known of the early
history of tlie domestic turkey. Writers
of the Sixteenth and Seventeenth cen
turies seem to have been ignorant
about it, and to have regarded it as
the guineafowl or pintado of the an
cients, a mistake which was not
cleared up until tt?e middle of the last
century, says a writer in the New
York Sun.
The name it now bears, and which
it received in England where it is re
puted to have been introduced in 1541,
was given it from the supposition that
it came originally from Turkey. As
far back as 1573 we read of it as
having been the Christmas fare of the
sturdy British yeomanry.
Came From Moxican Fowl.
Audubon, one of the early pioneers
of American ornithology, supposed our
common barnyard turkey to have orig
inated in the wild bird so prevalent
in the eastern half of the United
States. But It lias always been a mat
ter of surprise to naturalists that ttie
latter did not assimilate, by inter
breeding and reversion, more intimate
ly in color and habits to the domestic
form. No suspicion, until recently,
appears to have been entertained that
tlie two birds might belong to differ
ent species.
Our common wild turkey, once so
plentiful in Pennsylvania and New
York, is now restricted to the more
eastern and southern portions of the
I ■
n i j
Perfect Specimen-?.
United States, while in the parts of
Texas, New Mexico, Colorado and
Arizona, thence stretching southward
along the eastern siope of Mexico,
there exists another form, essentially
different, which b.v way of distinction,
has been popularly called the Mexican
turkey. It is from this species, and
not from the other, as lias been erro
neously supposed, that the domestic
fowl has been derived.
Many Differences Seen.
Between the wild bird of eastern
North America and the Mexican and
typical barnyard fowls there are dif
ferences which must be apparent to
the most superficial observer. The
extremities of the tail feathers as
well as ttie feathers overlying the
base of the tail are in the latter
creamy or fulvous white, while in the
former they are of a decided chestnut
brown color. Other characteristics
exist, apparent to the ornithologist.
The difficulty experienced in estab
lishing a cross between our wild and
tame birds, shows that they are not as
closely related as one would suppose.
Did a near kinship exist, interbreed
ing would more easily be accomplished.
With the Mexican turkey, matters are
otherwise. That a relationship does
exist between the domestic bird and
the latter there can he no question, as
specimens of the naturalized species
are often met with which are nearly
the counterpart of its Mexican pro
genitor, differing only in the greater
development of the fatty appendages
of the head and neck, differences
which may be accounted for ns the
effects of tlie influences to which the
birds have been subjected by man.
No well-authenticated instance of
similar reversions to our once familiar
eastern bird have been known to oc
cur, which would necessarily have been
the case had they been so closely re
lated as was once maintained.
Thanksgiving
jfepfejgl
Oh, the farm was bright. Thanksgiving
morn,
With its stacks of hay and shocks of
corn,
Its pumpkin hears In the rambling shed,
And its aprlcs brown and green and red;
And In the collar, the winter store,
In bins that were filled and running o’er
With all the things that a farm could
keep,
In barrel and bin and goodly heap,
Hung to the rafters and hid away—
Oh, the farm was * pleasant place to
stay!
And here and there was the Jersey stock.
The sheep and horses—Old Prince and
Jock—
Tlr* turkeys and geese and awkward calf.
And the goat that made the children
laugh,
A pair of mules that a friend had sent
Out to the farm for experiment.
Pigeons and fowls and a guinea pig,
Dogs that were small and dogs that were
big.
Chickens that were white and black and
gray—
Oh, the farm was a Jolly sight that day!
Out back of the house the orchard stood.
Then came the brook and the chestnut
wood,
The old sawmill where the children play.
The fodder barn with its piles of hay.
The walnut grove and the cranberry bog.
The woodchuck hole and the barking dog,
The wintergreen and the robber’s cave—
Wherein who entered was counted brave —
The skating pofid with Its fringe of
bay—
Oh, the farm was a right good place to
slay!
The big home barn was a place of Joy
For the romping girl and the climbing
boy,
With beams and mows and ladders to
mount,
P.orses and oxen and aheep to count.
Hunting of nests of sly old hens,
Tunneling hay and fashioning dens,
Helping the men to do up the chores,
Shutting windows and locking doors,
Letting some work come in with the
play—
Ob, the farm was a Jolly place to stay!
Oh, the pantry shelves were lop.ded down
With cakes that were plump and rich
and brown.
With apple pie and pumpkin and mince,
And Jellies and jam and preserved quince.
Cranberry sauce and puddings and rice,
The dessert dishes that look so nice,
Vegetables, breads, and bonbons sweet,
A great brown turkey and plates of meat.
Sauces fixed In the daintiest way—
Oh, ’twas a glorious sight that day!
Oh, the farm was bright Thanksgiving
morn.
The sun shone clear on the tay and corn,
The guests came early with laugh and
shout,
And the boys and girls scattered about,
Seeking the pets they had known before,
Climbing through window instead of door,
Racing from barn to corncrib or mill,
Shouting and laughing with glee, until
The dinner-horn sounded. Oh, I say
’Twas pleasant upon the farm that day!
