thoy knuw that tho ofllcor, whoovor ho
wus, spoko tho truth, and they began to
collect tho unoxplodcd shells that had been
fired at thorn by tho Confederate hattorlcs.
"There were a good many of thoso Beat
torcd over our part of tho lilll, and whon
Mcado comprehended what tho boys were

"John Snicker was 0110 of tho bost men

TIIE WILD TUIIKF.T.
until niter America wtw discovered, it was
thought to bo a nntivo of Turkey for a
hundred or two years subsequent, prooa
bly from its nnmo, though ns tlio iinmo
cook of Intliit" wnsnlso nppneii, nnu iiko
wlso " Gulneu henne, " thero were many hot
discussions 11s to its origin, ninny bollov
iiiK it came from Hindustan, whllo others
considered Africa to bo its original homo
boyond tho slmdow of a doubt.
Whon tho claims of Turuey nnu incua
nnd the Guinea const woro investignted,
howovor, nil fell to tlio ground, thoso of
India coihtpsinu; first from tho curious fact
that tho Hindoo namo of tho bird is
peru," pronounced exactly as tho bouth
American country whooo spoiling Is tho
samo. From this It would seem that the
first turkoys to renoh tlio old world might
havo beon tnkeu thither from South
America, reaching Europe via India, Tur
koy nnd Egypt, though this is only con
jecture based on what might bo termed
tho ovidenco of nomenclature.
As to tho naming of tho bird, wild tur
koy hunters say it could by no means havo
been domed from tho land of tno sultan,
but that it is clearly nn imitation of tho
wild bird's call of "turlt, turk, turkl"
Persons fnmiliar with tlio wild turkey's
flavor declaro it much better than that of
tho farm grown bird and nay tlio superi
ority Is. duo to tho pungent berries, spicy
nuts nnd nrumutlo soeiis wnicn lorm tno
dlot of the former, yet tlio fact remains
that tho urlcos realized by certain Btand-
urd turkev breeders nro generally higher
than can bo obtained lor tho choicest woou
bred birds. As a matter of frozen truth,
however, a fat turkey is mighty good eat
ing wherovor ho is raised, and there nro
thousands of turkey gormands in tho
United States who enro not n rap whether
the Thanksgiving bird is eastern, western,
southern or ovon Canadian, so long as It's
turkoy.
Canadian turuoys, uy tno wny, nro gen
erally sold in tho Now York markots ns
Philadelphia birds. When I say Canadian
turkoys, I refer only to tho circumstanco
of birth, for such birds destined for mar
kots in tho United Htntos nro almost in
variably fattened in Vermont, whither
thoy are shipped chlofly from tho province
of Quobec.

The woman who is
weak, nervous, tired and
exhausted ; who has a
poor and variable appe
tite and no strength or
nerve; who sutlers from
pains and aches, drag
ging down ana
burning sensa
tions; and who
recognizes,
herself, that
she has become
irritable, cross,
blue and de
soondent, is in
almost every
case suffrring
from weakness
and d!'.eibC of
the del irate
and important organs that bear the burdens
of maternity
Thousands of women suffer in this way
and do not recognize the cause, or if they
do understand their condition, neglect it
rather than submit to the obnoxious exam
inations and local treatment insisted upon
by the average physician. Dr Pierce's
Favorite Prescription is a wonderful medi
cine for women who suffer in this way. It
does away with the necessity for these try
ing ordeals, aud may be used in the privacy
of the home. It acts directly on the dell-
vt
AA-tii hi We Jr
makes them
It banishes
cate organs concerned, and
strong, vigorous and hei
the dihcom forts of the expectant period and
maices oaDys aavent easy ana almost pain
less. It transforms weak, nervous, petulant
invalids into happy wives nnd mothers.
Thousands of women have testified, over"
their own signatures, to this fact The
"Favorite Prescription " may be procured
from any good medicine dealer. Any wom
an who will write to Dr. R. V. Pierce. Buf
falo, N Y , may have the advice of an emin
ent and skillful specialist without charge.
Mrs. Cora M McLaurin. of Roctport. Copiah
Co., Miss., writes . " I had displacement and
Inflammation of the uterus, I was under the
treatment of our family physician for a long
time but received no benefit. I had falling of in
ternal organs with ulceration and enlargement
I commenced using I'r. Pierce's Favorite Pre

the first day I began to improve and in a short
time 1 was able to do all my housework II it
had not been for your medicines I would have
been dead long ago."
