How I Lost my Thanksgiving Turkey, ED. W. SANDYS, IN The turkey is a wondrous toothsome nior. el, whether it lie a choke bird from tiie fattening pen or one of tliosn kings of the feathered race, a grand wild fellow, slain it imps after ft dial of toil and trouble in It: native haunt some Southern river bottom, Western scrub or lonely Canadian forest. lint such birds as theeo are by no means easily procure, and only a favored few of the millions of toasters on Thanksgiving P.iy will sink tooth into genuine wihl turkey meat.

price paid by the epicure for his wild bird would doubtless purchase provisions enough to feast a family of tho lireailwimiiug class on excellent fare for tin entire week, so the toilers must needs be content with a less aristocratic fowl than iaHomro. Year by year tho wild birds are steadily decreasing in number, and the day is not far distant when turkey will exist no longer in the wild state save in a fow favored portions of the South and Southwest. Kusily trapped and always valuable, either for the market or for home consumption, it is hardly surprising that he birds have been eagerly sought and remorselessly slain wherever found, and wore it not for their keen sight and swift and enduring running powers they would long ago have been exterminated in certain accessible forests, where a few yet find a home. Hut while the turkey is one of the easiest birds to trap, he is no fool to follow with riflo or gun in his forest ranges. Wild and shy to a degree, keen sighted, quick eared, swift of foot and strung o.

wing when needs be, he is ulso sharply jspicious of a man on foot, anrl quite as dillieu.lt to "still hunt" successfully as a deer. Generally ranging in heavy forest, and within easy reach of tangled scrub or other battling cover, no sooner docs ho suspect danger than his loim legs bear him swiftly to tho densest growth lie can find, through which a mm may track him for hours without either obtaining a shot or forcing him to take wing, and frequently the bird will not even be seen. The principles of good sportsmanship admit ot the wild turkey being taken by several methods. One of these is shooting the birds when roosting in tall timber at night. All that is necessary is first to locate the roost," then to steal upon tho unsuspecting game and shoot its many as possible before tho turkeys realize what is going on and leave the unhealthy neighborhood.

A second method is calling," or "yelping." The sportsman us.es frequently a bone from a turkey's wing us a caller," and by sucking air through this bone in the proper fashion an exact imitation of the "yeln" ol the bird is produced. An ordinary clay also makes an excellent "caller." This method may be followed with deadly effect either after a flock has been scattered or, as is done in tho while tho gobblers are strutting," in which caeagood imitation of the cry of a lovelorn hen will lure the male to his destruction. Still another method, the most dashing and exciting sport of all, is coursing the birds with greyhounds. This, of course, demands an open country, and is I believe, only attempted on the plains of the far houlh and Southwest. For this sport a man must be a good horseman nnd be well mounted, as the going is fast and free and the ground covered frequently dangerous.

The turkevsare fnnml 1 ti, the dogs are slipped, ami then the birds ittKe wing norso and hounds rfollow the lected victim as fast as tin yean lay foot on the ground. Tho turkey "llics straight, and though its first flight be half a milo or more, it has not time to re cover from the unusuatexertion ere the fleet Iocs again com pel it to take wing. It may rise two or mi oo iimes, out its strength soon spent. aim unless it can reach (logs pull ittlown, the horseman meanwhile following tho chase in the best way that he can. Yet another method, an thoroughly sportsmanlike one is tracking of "still hunting." Tho best time for this is immediately after a light fall of snow whei i all sign is fresh, and the contest simply becomes a fair tost of hunter's craft against cunning and endurance.

The still hunter will surely earn his bird, no matter whether ho carry a rillo and kill his game at long rige, or a shotgun aud kill it living, after he has fairlv tramped it to a standstill, forced it from sheer weariness to squat and hide and then flushed it from cover by his close approach. racking turkeys in the ind of ground thev usually favor is "emphatically hard work, and the tracker will bo led, perhaps, for mile after mile through just tho sort of cover that tempt one to hull nnd talk the bark on a tree now and then. I have many times followed turkeys sometimes on the tracks, sometim es by guesswork for an entire day and tier er once had a chime at a bird. One fall, that now ha many leaven upon its gr ive, I decided to take a run over tho Lam) into Kssex Woods and tfy for a good gobbler, though a plump hen wo nlil doubtless have also received attention had rained hard for several days, then ne cold came, and with it a slight fall of snow, though hardly sufficient for good tracking. It was an extremely sharp, clear, bracing morning when I left, a comfortable farm house some miles west of Kssex Centre and with Winchester on shoulder started for the great silent stietch of woods which extended for miles in every direction.

I knew that turkey were in these woods and was fully resolved to have one before night, but no sooner was the timber fairly entered than the unpleasant fact became paintully appar ent, iliac ir, wasn a good day tor turkey. Kvery hollow between the thick standing oaks, maples and elms had been filled to o'orflowing by the rains, and now every pool wai covered with an inch thick emit of ice just thick enough nt to bear ISO pounds. Kvery twig and frozen leaf under foot, moreover, crushed like glass and under such conditions I was about us likely to get within shot of a turkey as I was to tree a tiger up one of the big elms. There was nothing for it but, to acknowledge a balk, and I retreated to the railroad, the tracks being about the only place where dry walking was posiUe. After infinite difficulty, aided by a couple of rails from tho snako fence, I managed to safely cross the deep ditch between the woods and tho track, and so reached safe footing.

It was an exasperating situation. Straigh eastand west, stretched the narrow roadbed, with its two shining rails on cither side were broad ditches containing water perhaps five feet deep, coaled with treacherous ice, and I thus hail a promenade over one hundred miles long, but only about fifteen feet wide. A tempting shooting ground, truly A fellow muht get rati birds on it or shoot off a few "ties" to fill in time, but it was not very exhilarating 1 confess. There was nothing to da until the evening train came along to take me home again. Nothing bat a hravy frost, followed by snow, would make still hunting possible, and there were no indications of snow.

For want of something better to do I strolled a couple of miles along the track, and by so doing made a discovery which changed the aspect of affairs considerably. A car laden with shelled corn must have passed some days before and had a hole in it, for a Ioiil' stieam of ycllov grain extended for some three hundred ymds beside the rails. Near my end of tho cotnwasaculvcrt crossing the track, through which, under ordinarycondi tions cattle could readily pass. Hut it was now filled to within a couple of feet of the top with water, like tho ditches coated with ice. r.verywhere within a short distance of this divert I found "sign" of wild turkeys ami 11 was an easy tastr, to read t.ie posai mimes, lite Dints had dtsoovcrcd the trail of grain and had been feeding on it for two or three drvs at least.

The rains had drowned out their feeding grounds in the woods and they would lio sure to return tc, he corn day after day tttitil the lait grain was eaten. It was simply a question of close hiding, more or less of tli. long agony ot nope deterred, ami then and then a turkey wr.uld br mine I fairly grinned over that layout But where to hide. Xot an available point offered the track was as bare as the rifle barrel, and the roadbed was elevated so much above the level of the woods that it could not be properly commanded, except I climbed a tree, which would be altogether unsuitable. Tho culvert Yes, the culvert; but tho ice will barely hold, thought I.

However, a look at it won! 1 do no harm. 1 carefully tested it and found that owing to its narrowness and the grip the timber walls afforded the ice it would just bear inc.

A New Name Suggested for Hamilton. Another Iteninrknble Case Mblrh Mould Indicate tbul Itie niue would be Qnlle A ppruprlnle. The number of remarkable cures occurring in Hamilton is causing general comment throughout the country. To thoste who know tho inside fcts there is not the least cause for wonderment. Tho remarkable cure o' Mr.

John Marshall who was known to almost every citizen in Hamilton gave the l'ink Pills an enormous sale in the city, one retail druggist alone selling boxes in the jiast Bix months, l'coplo whose cases had been considered hopeless as was Mr. Marshall's, took hope from his euro, persisted in the use of tho pills, with equally wonderful results in their case. And what is happening in Hamilton in theway of remarkable cures, is happening in all parts of the Dominion, and every day adds to the pile of grateful testimonials which the proprietors of Dr. Williams' l'ink Fills are receiving. Lo3t week the Hamilton Times investigated two more cases, the result of hich is told in the following article in the issue of Nov.

7th Tho account of Mr. John Marshall's wonderful cure, after suffering for years with locomotor ataxy naturally brought to light several other cases of almost equally miraculous cures in this city. Among the many citizens who profited by Mr. Marshall's experience and who havo been troubled tor many years with the samo atllictiou was Mr. William Webster.

For a long timo he as in tho Hour and feed business in tho Market Square, and for over ten years while in his office ho was compelled to remain in a reclining position on a couch, covered with heavy diiiffalo robes winter and summer. It was with difficulty that ho could make his way, even with the aid of crutches, to his resideuce, but a short distance from the store. He attributes his trouble to constant exposure at tho open door of his store, carrying heavy bags of grain in and out, and when overheated and perspiring sitting over an open cellar way in order to cool off. About a year and a half ago he found it necessary to give up his business, owing to the fact that he was becoming utterly helpless from his terrible disease. In last, on hearing of Mr.

Marshall's case, he began to take that well known remedy, Dr. Williams' Fink V'illsand has beengreat ly benefitted thereby. Mr. Webster was seen by a Times reporter at his residence, Macnab street north, Saturday afternoon, aud was not at all loath to speak about his case. With the exception of this trouble ith my legs," he said, I have never been sick a day since I was 17 years old, and now I am 55.

This locomotor ataxy is a terrible disease. For years my legs have seemed as though they belonged to some one else. As I have lain asleep on a winter night, one leg has fallen out of the bed aud when I would awaken with the cold I would have to feel around with my hand before I could tell which leg was out of bed. If I were to try to place my foot on a spot on the carpet within easy reach I could no more do it than ily. The pain at times has been tor rible.

I have lain awake night after night, week after week, alternately grasping each foot in my agony as tho sharp pains like knife stans shot through various parts of my anatomy. When I was first attacked with pains in my feet some 12 years ago I tried several physicians but could get no relief. Paralysis then set in and I immediately consulted a well known specialist in ISuffalo, who told mo that I was suffering from locomotor ataxy and could not get better. 1 came home again and on the advice ol friends tried several hot springs, but with no effect, except, perhaps, to aggravato my complaint. I finally became discouraged and after two years' doctoring, I underwent an operation.

I was placed under chloroform, a gash two inches and half in depth made in the side ot eacli teg near the hip and tho doctors put their fingers in the gash and stretched the sciatic nerves in the vain hope hat such would givo me relief. Since then now over ten years ago, until, June last, I took no medicine whatever, and retiring from business, became so helpless that 1 could not walk one step without my crutches, and sometimes the fiain was something awful. About June, towever, I got some of Dr. Williams' l'ink Fills and after using the first box felt such a beneficial eflect from them that I continued to use thein ever since with the result that the terrible pains I used to sutler from have ramsheu, and with tne exception of agentle little dart at rare intervals, I might never know I had ever suffered with them. Since using the pills I get to sleep early and sleep as soundly aud peacefully as a baby all night through.

I can also walk a dozen steps or so without my crutches." And to illustrate, tho old gentleman got up and walked across the room and back again to his seat, alongside the reporter. "Nov 1 couldn't do that at all before last June," continued he, "and the pills are certainly the pleasantest medicine to take, that I ever tried. I would advise any one who is troubled with an aflliction any way similar to mine, or wdio is suffering from any nrvotis disease, to try Dr. Wil liams l'ink Fills. TilEV SKIX n.U'IM.V.

Mr. J. A. Ilarr, the well known Hamilton druggist, says that the demand for l'ink Fills is something astonishing. l.ant winter he purchased one do''en boxes.

This was his lirst order. Since th he has sold boxes of the pills, and every day the demand is He sells at least two doen per day. 1 lie same story comes trom other druggists in Hamilton. The other day Mrs. Martin, of Ferguson Avenue, Hamilton, called ot Mr.

John A. Karr's drug establishment and asked for a box of Fink Pills. She had a little girl with hcr in a perambulator, and hile the mother was in the store the child climbed out over the side of the carriage. The mother laughed over the incident ami remarked "If it were not for l'ink Pills my baby would never have been able to do that. To those in the drug store Mrs.

Martin narrated the wonderful cure which had been eliect ed by l'ink Pills in tho cure of her infant. hen about a year old the baby became paralyzed, unl the anxious parents consulted ihe best doctors in the city, but their treatment was of no av til. The little one was not aide to move hand or foot, and fo a time the case was considered a hopeless one. Seeing an advertisement in the Hamilton Times, of tiie wonderful cures being effected by Dr. Williams' l'ink Pills, Mr3.

Martin procured a box and before the youngster had taken all it contained, a marked improvement in her condition was noticed. The paralysis disappeared and the little one's appetite returned. The parents' hearts were delighted with tho result. It was while buying the second box that the child scrambled out of tho carriage on to the sidewalk. Tho mother told Mr.

Barr the paralysis had resulted from teething. A representative of the Times who investigated the case discovered thai the litlle girl is now walking around in the best of health. Tho proprietors of Dr. William's Pink Pills state that they an not a patent medicine but a scientific preparation used successfully for many years in tho private orictice of a phsician of high standing. i hey arc given to the public as an unfailing blood builder and nervo restorer, curing all forms of weakness arising from a watery or.diticn of the blood or shattered nerves wo fruitful causc of almost every ill that l'wh is heir to.

linmruM' Quantity or the Hurst Timber Now Heine Destroyed. A melancholy sight in British Columbia and Washington is the enormous areas of forests through which fires have swept, leaving only blackened trunks. Tho forels of the Pacific slope are going a good deal like the bison of the plains. The people of this continent do not realize how many hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of fine timber in that region is being annually destroyed. Through the Kocky Mountains, along the Canadian Pacific Railroad, one may travel for many miles and seo hardly a bit of live timber, though the blackened trunks standing quite thickly togot her show that only a feiv years ugo tho mountain sides wero covered with spruces and hem locks.

A good deal of this devastation is wrought by hunters and locomotives, and the fires aro accidental. In some parts of British Columbia, however, and in Washington tho farmers aro destroying a great deal of timber to clear the laud for agricultural purposes. In the lat days of July tho atmosphere was beautifully cluar, and for many miles the grand pyramid? of Mi tint Baker aud Mount Kunier could be seen, rearing their splendid cones high above all their surroundings and showing their great sides covered with the snow that never seems to melt. Threo days later a New Yorker was within ten miles of Mount Baker and he could not distinguish the grand mountain, for the air was oppio3sively heavy with smoke. It did not take long to find out who started these fires.

Hero and there in the timber through which tho train sped across Washington were little clearings, and farmers and their men could, be seen telling trees and setting fire to the branches. It is the only way they have of removing timber so that they may plow the land. They have no means of getting the wood to market, and the only thing they can do is to redtico the enormous growths to ashes and then pull out the stumps, and thus add a little to their tillable area. They are fortunate men if they aro able to clear more than an arrc or two a year, for the work is enormous but when an acre is finally freed of its heavy burden of timber it is found to he magnificent farming land and is a factor added to the wealth of the young State which is not to be despis ed. But it seems a terrible waste to see these mighty forests reduced to nothing but smoke and ashes.

Now and then one sees a more cheerful picture in these woods. At a side track he will find a large number of flatcars, loaded with big logs all ready to bo taken to a saw mill. This is a lumber camp, and through tho timber may be seen the little pine cr canvas huts of the lumbermen, ho are felMng the trees and trimming the logs ready for shipment.
