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. Each person

should be given both dark and fight meat.

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

sult. But if a young'-jmau: only , carves

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

GREAT TRAILERS THESE DOGS.
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.
