Ocu goddess of birds is the turkey. 
As the bald-headed eagle Is king, 
And now when the weat her grows murky 
With polities out of the fling, 
Other gods we may look at and long for, 
While our hearts ate with thankfulness puffed; 
But the bird of our hearts Is all ready 
Aud waitin’, poor dear, to get stuffed.

When does a tree feel contented? When 
it’s sappy .—New Age.

An Illinois farmer has made a cheese in the 
shape of a man. It is said to look like a thing 
of life—and very likely it is.— Yonket's States¬
