The turkey la our great uatlonal bird Instead of tbe eagle, which I don't Uke much stock In. Turkeys are good to eat. Eagles are only fit to put as starapa on coin. The eagle Is a raven ous, vicious thief. There Is nothing brave or good about the eagle. The eagle cannot bv tamed and la of no earthly use to any one anywhere at any time or place. A hawk Is braver than the eagle. If the eagle had the courage In proportion to his size of the sparrow, be would be a wonder. It waa a mistake a sad. pitiful blun derto make the enRle our national bird. And a movement should be put on foot now to plan the turkey on our coins and remove the eagle from where be has no business to le. A bird ao useless should not Ik? worshiped as the eagle Is.
