tion. The linstlnr Imrried to the nenrest
farmliniiHO, whero lie iurchai'il the
finest turkey to Im liml, ntnl cnrrled it
bnck to the hotel in triumph. Taking
it into the stnliln he dispalchiil and
plucked it in (frent hasto. KvnrythiiiK
was exoltemeiit In the large kitchen from
the t i mo llio order was nmiotiiiced until
late in the afternoon, when the last dish
wns ready to lie carried to tho dining
room.
The news nf the gentlemen coming
spi-eml tliroiigli the village, ntnl every
one felt duly Ixitllid to go to the hotel
and pee them, and initio took a greater
interest in thn affair than the hoys.
They had finished thir chores unusually
early liml were promptly on hand long
before the hour of serving the supper.
Of tho entire community none felt his
personal importance more, than Uftvo
1'eters, the colored waiter.
Dave was nf portly build and prided
himself in his appearance, and if he had
a hatred for one thing more than nny
other, thnt thing wns a claw hammer
coat, which hu said Ix'longcil to society
gentlemen and not to a waiter, conse
quently he heM to the old fashioned
roundabout jacket. Just before the
time for nunounciiig that dinner was
ready anumber of the village lioys stood
peering through one of tho dining room
windows, watching Dave arrange the
different dishes on tho table and ad
miring tho display mado by the twelve
napkins in us many cut glims goblets.
After viewing the effects of the
table with a countenance beaming with
satisfaction, Dave strutted toward the
door and disappeared by descending the
Btairs leading to tho kitchen, ami a few
moments later reappeared, carrying on
a largo dish the turkey, douo to a lovely
brown ami beautifully garnished with
carved roses, sprays of parsley and cel.
ery tops. Walking toward the table ho
found that no room had been left for the
central ami chief adornment of the
table. Taking the situation in at
glance, Dave saw his mistake, and hur
riedly set tho dish down upon tho broad
ill of the window through which the
boys wore peering, and began rearrang
ing tho tnble to make room for the
turkey.
No sooner liml he turned bis back to
the window than one of the boys softly
and quietly raised the sash, while an
other grabbed the turkey from tho dish
and fled across the hotel yard toward
the old stable, followed by his coinpun
ions. After making room for tho larce
dish Dave turned around, stepped to the
wtnaow, raiseu me utsn ami placed it in
its position in the center of the table,
never noticing that tho bird had flown,
Going to the sidoboard he picked np the
upper bell and gave it a violent ring,
thus notifying the host that dinner was
ready.
"This way, gentlemen; this way,
pleufce," spoke the proprietor to his
guests; "step this way, gentlemen,'
leading them through a narrow passage
from the bar to the dining room. No
sooner bad be reached the dining room
than bis gaze fell upon the empty plate,
when he exclaimed, "David, where in
the name of General Jackson is that
turkey?1
Poor Davet Never was a man taken
more by surprise. When for the first
time be noticed the broken platter bis

jaw foil and his large eyeballs stared

could say in reply to the abrupt and em
phatic question was, "Don't know, sir;

ll was tint till two hours later, when
the guest s were aliuiit to depart, that the
proprietor learned what had become of
tint turkey. One of the buys, iii'irn bold
than his coiiipaniuim, came back to tint
hotel to see bow the jokn worked, and
thinking the story of tho bird's disap
pearance too kim id to keep, told it to nne
of the men that wern loitering alxint the
outside of the hotel.

A strung" relic bns reached the Ameri
can K.xchango hotel nt San I'raiicisco
ami has attracted n great, deal nf atten
tion. It is the born of Mrs. O'Lenry's
cow, the celebrated linvinc of Chicago
that in I ST I kicked over the historic oil
lamp. II. O. Atkinson, who owns the
relic, gave fH for it right nfter thn fire.
The hide sold for $120. Mrs. O'Lcary's
cow didn't have a very big horn, accord
ing to this. What boeamn of the other
horn nobody know. This fine was
beautifully fashioned by Mr. Atkinson's
brother into the form of a fish. A niche
had been cut into the edges of tho open
end and eyes of glass inserted on tho
sides, while ivory fins decorato it in the
proper place.
It is lined nn thn inside with red plush,
and thus with its mouth on a bias and
its curved tail it look for all tho world
like a trout or a salmon as it jump out
of the water. A hook is in its gill and a
ribbon on the hook so that all complete,
while a fish, it is a handsome jewel rase.
This is the use to which the horn of
Mrs. 0'leary's cow has come nt last.
With the strange relic is the following,
"Made from thn horn of Mr. O'lsry's
cow thnt kicked over thn lamp and
caused thn great fire of Chicago." San
