young man who despises Thanks giving after it is over is he who meets tbe turkey and is subdued by the bird. In plain English, about the most miserable swain in town Thanksgiv ing night is ho who bas been asked to carve a turVey and the turkey has ob jected. When s turkey objects to- being carved there is no telling what tbe bird will do. Engagements have been broken as the result of the bird's antics in the hands of the inexperienced carver. Mothers-in-law-to-be have protested against receiving young men into their families who couldn't take a bird to pieces with out frosting the datnank cover of tbe table with turkey pickings,' and the young teen themselves have retrarded their dress birtajmd.iTftck' coats mottled with flying mreeysorrowtvuiy ana sworn never iu give thanks again. Evory gentleman ought to know how to take a Thanksgiving bird to pieces. Such knowledge should be a part of every gentleman's education. The best carver on earth can't carve neatly unless the bird is properly arrang ed and well cooked. It takes a good cook to properly fix a turVey for table carving. HOW THIS LEJ SHOULD Bl PULLED OFF. It shouldn't be fixed with Its legs sprawl ing, and one arm shoots out in one direc tion while the othergons In a contrary direction. Nobody can make nice work with n turkey like that. Its legs must be laid flat to its sides and then tied close ly together. Next, the cooking is import ant. The fowl must be cooked so that the legs will tear off easily. That is a test of the turkey's tenderness. To begin with, no man .wants to stand to carve a fowl or anything else. His scat should be a trifle higher than the others, and if he is short, why a careful hostess will consider that point. The fowl should lay with his head toward the carver. The carveidoes not flourish the slender carving knife as if it were a weapon of war. The first move he makes should be on the legs. - These should be lifted one at a time, and with the knifo two cuts made to form a circle about the second Joint of the leg. Gut only through the skin and then the leg should tear off easily, leav ing the meat light and flaky at the end. After the lees are taken off the fork Js plunged infvtbe breast r..-t near the center of the breast bone as is possible and.need not be removed if the correct place is - found mtiltbeturkey is practically cut up. The white meat on the breast should bp the second portion attacked is. the carving act. The meat should be cut in the thin nest, flakiest of slices so that while they will not break to pieces will still be tempt ing in their daintiness. : Turkeys should not be served with wings on them. Re move the wings before the turkeys are cooked. , ' " If the turkey has a disposition to skate around on the platter or fly into the lap of the lady beside you den't get excited. A man has to get over being nervous. If he's calm and understands how to handle the tnrkey - no well bred bird will make any disturbance. After the breast is cleaned it is the carver's duty to carve the legs. He must not help any one to a whole drumstick. He must slice close to the bone of the leg up to the first joint and turn the angle and strip the bone of th "second joint in the same way. This supplies plenty of dark meat. ....... That's all mcst men need to do. The small parts aren't generally needed in a family serving. If a man wants to show that he really understands the art of carving he will turn tho fowl over and get the two choicest, finest bits of meat on the entire turkey. - Right on top of the back, one on each slie cf the spine, are two depressions not bigger than a silver dollar either of them. But in those two hollows is the finest grained, most deli cately flavored meat the bird carries. . In serving the party the same fork is nsed that Was used in carving, while the knife can lay with the blade on the plat ter, where toe fork also can be placed after the work 1b done.

The last thing before the portions" are uerrtid a cross shonld be cut where be siumng was put into the fowl. It ;s com mon to cut only one way, bat brAnaking the cross cut ithe stuffing eatfTbe serfed neatly. ; A gdod carver wijl not allow ny bits to fall around tbe 'platter, and, in fact, there shouldn't be anyj crumbs. Every piece of fowl should be clean cut. No plan has , yet been incited- which will insure a turkey's staying on the plat ter during the carvingprocess. - Practice is the only thing able to achieve thaf re sult. But if a young'-jmau: only , carves turkey once a year, on Thanksgiving Day, he isn't likely to grow perfect .in the art antil his head is shiny and piuk; and what is left of his hair is angelic in its white ness. vr i .; -.V'" ,!' '. ' . Early Thanksgiving )aya. The first recorded. Thanksgiving' day was the jEIebrew feast of the tabernacles. The first national English Thanksgiv ing was on Sept. 8, 1588, for the defeat of the Spanish Armada. - iJ There have been but two English Thanksgivings In this century. One was en Feb. 8T, 1872, for the recovery of he Prince of Wales from illness; the other, lune 21. 1887, for the Queen's jubilee. The New England Thanksgiving dates from 1633, when the Massachusetts Bay uiinnv urinarr tin- .n 'ih..,.i(.,;.., - ' The first national Thanksgiving procla mations were by Congress duriug the Revolutionary war. , . The first great American Thanksgiving day was In 1784, f or the declaration of peace. There was one more nationul Thanksgiving In 1780, and no other -till 1863, when .President Lincoln issued a national proclamation for a day of thanksgiving. Since that time the Presi dents have Issued an annual proclamation. IT IS ALL OUR OWN. Thankssri'vinc la a. Festival feealiar o Tbla Country. . HEN, in the year of grace 1630, sturdy Gov. John Winthrop and the Puritan colon ists of Massachusetts proclaimed and duly observed a "public thanksgiving," they probably had little idea of the Importance which that festival was destined to obtain in the history of Amer ica. The first Thanksgiving differed very materially frouvits successors. In that it was proclaimed cs a fast and not as a feast. Supplies had run short, the ships expected from England were delayed, and extinction threatened the "Governor and company of Massachusetts bay . in New England." Winthrop and his. coun cil decided to hold a day of prayer and aostinence, "so that ye Lorde be propi tiated' and looke upon His servants with favor, in that they have humbled them selves before Him." Accordingly a crier was sent about the primitive settlement of Charlestown. and tbe colonists were each and all invited to take part in the fast. Their sacrifice met with speedy re ward. Scarcely had the noon hour of the al lotted day arrived when the long-hoped-for ship made its welcome appearance in Massachusetts bay, the cargo was landed and the fast was succeeded by a banquet of a sort which must have seemed sump tuous Indeed to the exiles so recently plunged in hnnger and hardship. On the threshold of 'dreaded winter Winthrop and ljis followers found what had been a prospect -of fear and peril changed into one of happiness and hope. Such was America's first Thanksgiving, as cele brated 269 years ago. Thereafter each "THIS 'UN LEFT OVER FOR CHRISTIAS." I r ' ' . - ' ; " ss succeeding November was marked in the annals of the colony by a similar fes tival of gratitude. But Thanksgiving in the early days of cur history was not confined to the New Rnirland nioneers alone. Just nreeen years after Winthrop's proclamation, i. e.. in 1040, uov. ii.iert oi me uuicu cuiuuj, then known as Nieuw Amsterdam, but now as New York, ordered the observ ance of a day of rejoicing and thanks, "for the rest and peace which God had been pleased to bestow upon His ser vants." Thus we see that the feast of Thanksgiving is not, as generally suppos ed, a peculiarly Furitan institution,; ut is equally derived from the salwart burghers of Manhattan Island. . 'i i" . The next notable Thanksgiving day In history fell In 1758. On that date the British and . colonial army, numbering 80.000 men. "and Commanded by Gen. Forbes, attacked and captured from the French, after a fierce struggle. Fort Du- quesne, at the junction of the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers. The name of the place was changed to Fort Pitt, and was the nucleus of the city of Pittsburg. Thus in a special sense the history of the great canital of the coal and iron indus tries is connected with the celebration) ot Thanksgiving day. - i ' f' At the time that the British were eon quering Fort Duquesne, Whitefield, Jjthe famous Methodist preacher,- called upon all his adherents in London to join a "service 'of praise and thanksgiving, for the victories of the English arms on land' and sea." This British Thanksgiving was. we are told, widely observed, and awak ened Intense enthusiasm, not only among the Methodists, - but throughout all fthe different sects. Whitefield's idea was af terward on several occasions revived in England. For instance, in 1814 the Gov ernment proclaimed a general thanksgiv ing for the victory of Waterloo. Again, two years later, in 1810, proclamation was made of a popular thanksgiving for the restoration of peace. After the Cri mean war a third jubilation of this na ture took place. - ; - But meanwhile. In New England, what had been begun as an occasional day of pious rejoicing had assumed lhe proportions of a fixed national holiday. In Massachusetts and New Hampshire it was especially popular. -' There wa at first great latitude in regard to the day selected for the feast Governors pro claimed the chosen date arbitrarily, and no effort was made to keep the anniver sary of Winthrop's proclamation. Some times Thanksgiving occurred in July, sometimes in midwinter. . At length, through the efforts of the president and professors Of -Harvard College, it was practically fixed upon the last Thursday in November. ? The last Thursday of the eleventh month suited the collegers, and, influence benjrbrought to. bear upon the colonial goiiff nors of New England, proc lamations were Issued making that day SONG OF THE TUKKEY.

Nick and Bock Who Worked on Onion Pacific Train Robbery. Although only four-footed animals, the work of Nick and Dock in trailing men has made them famous west' of the Mississippi. Tito services of these celebrated bloodhounds have been re quired In scores of well-known cases, the most prominent being the great Un ion Pacific train robbery last winter at Green River, Wyo. The two hounds came from famous stock, owing their origin to tbe great Wlnchell kennels of Vermont. They were purchased by the Lincoln, Neb., bloodhound Company when very young and placed in immediate training for trailing criminals. They were used in scores of minor cases about Nebraska's capital city, their work being aston ishing. Tbjey trailed a party of bur glars forty-five miles, but lost them amid the confusion of the city. Two escaped prisoners from . a Fillmore County jail were followed forty-five miles before tbe trail was broken by the escape of tbe men on a railroad train. ; ' " ". When the Union Pacific robbery oc curred last winter. Nick and Dock were sent to Green River. They took up the trail of the train robbers readily, but the next day were incapacitated by a driving snowstorm. The change proved too much for them, but the officers who saw the hounds follow the trail had no hesitancy in expressing their belief that the dogs would have been successful bad not the fearful storm Intervened. ' - "' The latest experience of the dogs was in following two York County horse thieves. The men bad "worked','- the vicinity of their homes so successfully that the farmers became Incensed and promises of a lynching were made If they were caught - One night two fine horses disappeared. Nick, and Dock were brought from Lincoln.. The trail was fresh and. tho dogs in good trim. Over a beautiful country for fifty miles the hounds sped after their quarry with a posse of angry farmers at their heels. About dusk one evening the thieves were sighted. . A cbase of several more miles resulted In thelr.capture. A con viction followed quickly and the thieves Were on tbelr way to the State prison In less than two weeks after the last theft occurred. DEWEY'S WASHINGTON HOME.

The bouse was built by. James E. Fitch for his own use, and has a frontage of ADMIBAL DEWEY'S NEW HOUSE. twenty-seven feet, with a depth of seventy-two feet There Is no rear building and the first floor Is divided Into three apartments of equal size. The two upper floors are arranged for sleeping rooms. . .
