Ingenious Nawab About 30 years ago in Rajkot, India, the Nawab of Junagadh held a reception during which, tor the first time, he never moved from his throne. The guests were auspicious, yet he constantly smiled at them and seemed to be enjoying himself. And he was. He was asleep. Having had too much opium before the reception, he had had his court artist paint a gay, happy smile on his face so he could be present and still take his much - needed nap. ? Collier's Weekly.

Dwigfci PmnnctoQ, ta Kuui Cay Tin* Why we have Thanksgiving ^__Turkey J THREE times > year, at Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's, the people of the United States advance upon a cer tain huge golden bronze fowl, cut its throat, strip it of its plumage and convert it into a savory dish which fairly makes the old table groan under the extra burden. Since we have raised this bird into a national significance which parallels to an almost equal degree that of the eagle, symbol of the govern ment itself, it has a special interest to all Americans. Although many folks may still be "as poor as Job's turkey," says a writer in Pathfinder Magazine, they somehow manage and contrive to have turkey for Thanksgiving, whether they can or cannot afford it. In years gone by those families who could not afford turkey turned to chicken, duck, beef, rabbit, or even pork and were glad to get it. But now let's get back to the ques tion of why we have or try to have or would like to have or imagine we would like to have turkey for Thanksgiving dinner. The an swer of course is that the turkey Is strictly an American bird and serving it at feasts of thanksgiving is an old and ancient American custom. Some authorities will tell you that we eat turkey on Thanks giving day because after the first harvest in the fall of 1621 the Pil grim Fathers at Plymouth set aside ? period for feasting and offering The Turkey Is Retarded aa an American Bin). thanks. To provide food for this feast hunters were sent out by Gov ernor Bradford and they returned with ? large supply of game. Hos pitality was extended to the Indians, 91 of whom attended the festival which lasted for three days. Con spicuous among the game on the tables were numerous wild turkeys, then common In the woods of Mas sachusetts. From this circum stance, they fay, arose the popular association of these birds with thanksgiving days. This of course is the true origin of the custom so far as white man has been concerned with it. But the origin of turkey feaits goes back much farther. The millions of fam ilies who plan on enjoying hearty Thanksgiving turkey dinners this year will in reality be observing a custom that prevailed ages before the Pilgrims first gathered around their festive board in New Eng land. Smithsonian institution rec ords now bridge the years that veil the aboriginal civilizations and show that the Indians of the Southwest domesticated turkeys and fattened them for their ceremonial feasts. While the Pilgrim Fathers, grate ful for good harvests and a year of prosperity in the New World decided on a day of thanksgiving to be celebrated at- a banquet of roast turkey, really gave posterity the spirit of thanksgiving, the practice of such feasts had been established long before by the cliff dwellers who actually got their birds from a pen as we do today and not from a thicket as the Pil grims did. According to Smithsonian records the turkey of the aboriginal Indians more nearly approximated the When the Festive Bird Goes Into the Oven. Thanksgiving turkey of today than the scrawny wild fowl felled by the blunderbuss of the Pilgrim hunts man. Most of our domesticated va rieties of turkeys today are really descended from the Mexican wild turkey that ranged over Arizona, western New Mexico and southern Colorado ? virtually the dooryard of earliest American civilization. The Pilgrim turkey was merely the wild variety of the same bird which roamed the eastern part of the United States. Just as the turkey was exclusively an American bird in the time of the aboriginal Indians, so it is to day. No fowl from any foreign country approximates it. In fact, wherever turkeys are raised today, and they have been introduced to many foreign countries, the ances tral stock came from America. And so far as is known turkeys are never imported to this country. Contrary to popular opinion the turkey did not get its name from Turkey (the country of that name). The first turkeys taken from the New World (America) and sold in Spain were handled largely by Hebrew merchants. Since the turkey was frequently confused with the peacock it was quite natural that the Hebrew trades should ap ply to it their name for the pea cock, or "tukki." More or less common use of this name followed, which easily became in English our present name "turkey." THE JUDGE SATS: "Tp HAN K S GIVING Is approaching ? it's time we told ourselves over end over again the thing- about which we should be thankful. There are plenty of those things. But, most important of all, I think, is the chance given to make ourselves happy again." ? Judge Harry B. Keidan. Day NO DOUBT the same old ques tion will be asked that we have so often heard ? what have we to be thankful for? The question is foolish, almost as foolish as the attempts to answer it. Thanksgiving means gratitude, and there is probably no man alive who does not hold ingratitude to be one of the blackest sins. Of course, there can be no gratitude except as it is shown not only for something but to some one. Therefore, observes a writer in the Indianapolis News, it is that the thought of Thanksgiving necessarily implies the existence of a Divine Giver and Benefactor. So we are bidden to return thanks to Almighty God as "the Giver of every good and perfect gift." When there seems to be a scarcity of gifts one is tempted to ask the question, why be thankful? And that is a question which every one must an swer for himself, and it will be answered as it always has been, in different ways. It is futile to cata logue what we know to be blessings and what we believe to be anything but blessings, and set off one list against the other, and be thankful in proportion as the good exceeds the evil. Carlyle long ago showed us the folly of the bookkeeping method as applied to things spiritual. Probably most people get out of life about what they deserve and in proportion to what they put into it. It seems to be true that the most thankful people are those who have the least. On the other hand, those who are surfeited with good things take them as matters of course, as their due, and so calling for no gratitude. The question seems to be whether one has a thankful spirit, which surely is something to be greatly desired. Without it, man is less than man. Even beasts are grateful. Practical ly, the question suggested by the day touches character. There is nothing mechanical or formal about it. One can not pump up thankful ness, and the setting apart of a day does not suggest that there should be such an attempt. The day is rather a recognition, less of a duty than of an opportunity which it would be or might be fatal to neg lect. "Be ye thankful" is an apos tolic command. It ought to be easy to obey. Those men are nearest the truth who feel that in this life noth ing is due them, and that whatever they get is In a very true sense a gift, and one which may be far beyond their deserts. So we are called to keep another Thanksgiving day, which should bring an outpour ing of not only thankful but kindly hearts. Appropriate to the day is Pope's well-known verse: Track me Is (eel another's woe. To bide the Unit I Me; That mercy I to others show. That merer show to me. What We Live On I live on hope, and that I think do all who come into this world. <ohai 1b* Cfto 'OR the moon and the itui that / +J shine, ^ For the stout heart that beau with mine, # For my home and its daily c?re?, ' For dreamt that (row along the years, For those friends whom I hold most J dear.

It must, first of all, be well selected, a delicately fla vored stuffing for the roast chicken and turkey, a more strongly fla vored one for the roast goose or di-.ck, writes Helen Robertson in the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Second, it must be perfectly sea soned. Not too strongly to over whelm the deliciousness of the bird, nor yet so bland in taste as to be uninteresting. Third, it must be of Bread Cat Into Small Cubes Makes Better Dressing:. the proper consistency, not too moist, nor yet too dry. And fourth, there must be <-nough. Bread being the usual foundation of the dressing, let us talk of it first. All kinds of breads may be used in the dressing providing the white bread predominates. Cold biscuits, pieces of corn bread, slices of toast, slices of whole wheat and of rye may all be used. Use part crust too, as well as the crumb. The bread should be dry and if part or all is lightly toasted, so much the b -tter. And bread cut into small cubes makes better dreiiing than when crumbed. For the very large turkey, up ward of eighteer or nineteen pounds, two and one - half to three pounds of bread will be needed for the dressing, while for the smaller bird of around ten pounds, one and three-fourths to two pounds of bread may be used. And for the smaller bird, one pound and under should be sufficient. Celery, oysters, mushrooms, chestnuts, the other ingredients you will use are of course dependent upon your own personal tastes and upon the bird you are serving. Here is a basic recipe for dressing for the twelve to fifteen-pound bird. Bread Dressing. t qti. stale bread cubes S tbsp. salt 1 tsp. pepper 1 tbsp. chopped parsley Sage to taste 1 cup melted butter t caps chopped celery Cooked riblets Prepare bread, sprinkle with sea sonings. Pour over them melted butter and enough boiling water or stock from cooking giblets and neck to moisten. In adding butter and stock, toss the ingredients together lightly with a fork. Never press them together. Chestnut dressing is usually liked. To make it, prepare one-ndf pound chestnuts, chopping them rather fine Mix with bread. Sausage dressing is another favor ite. One-half pound is sufficient for this amount. Cook it over a low fire fifteen minutes before adding to the dressing. For the roast duck or goose you will find this rice and prune stuffing tasty: Brown three tablespoons of finely minced onion in two tablespoons butter. Add one cup well washed, drained rice. Let simmer until rice is slightly browned. Then add four cups soup stock or water in which bouillon cubes have been dissolved, eight or nine cooked prunes, pitted, and one teaspoon salt. Cook over a very low fire or over hot water jntil rice is tender. Season well.
