The Story
of the
Tu rkey
II
mm
. 1620 the Puritans dis
covered New England,
and the next year, when
they were going to have
their first Thanksgiving
dinner, they discovered the
turkey." wrote a small
boy in hiB Thanksgiving
composition. Thus he set
tled, to his own satisfac
tion at least, a long-disputed
question when
and where the first turkey was found.
J A centurv ago wiser heads than big
did not And (be question easy to dis
pose of, and their discussion was Im
portant enough to attract the atten
tion of tha learned Prof. Beckmann.
Some- claimed It was first found in
Africa, whence It was broiiRht in early
tiy Tor the banquets of the Romans.
Others believe that, because of its
name. It must have coine from Turkey
term then applied vaguely to Tar
tars and even to Asia in general. Its
German name, kalekuter, led to the
Assertion that the first specimens had
en shipped from Calcutta; but those
inclining to this opinion were laughed
At by others, who said that kalekuter
was simply the German attempt to
express the bird's cry. A few believe
that the bird was an Importation from
-the world. And while ' learned
ifeeada wagged over the problem the
turkey went straight on gobbling Us
way into European barnyards. .
It was introduced Into England as
early, some say, as 1624, and at a ban
quet given by Queen Mary In 1555
young turkeys are mentioned as the
greatest delicacy on the table. ' In a
curious old book called "Five Hundred
Points of Husbandry,", by Tusser, are
to be found the lines:
Beofo, mutton and pork, shred pies ot
the best;
Pig, veal, goose and capon and turlde.
Well urest;
Cheese, apples and nuts, Jolie carols to
heare,
As then In the couatrie Is counted goode
cheere.
Here is proof that the modern up
start of a turkey was already rivaling
in favor the classic capon with the
British farmer.
The Jesuits long were credited
with having introduced the turkey into
France from Spain. This may ac
count for the lifelong animosity to
the Jesuits of the great critic Bolleau
of Louis XIV.'s time. For Boileau,
as a child, fell one day in his father's
barnyard, and before he could pick
himself up was so severely bitten by
two old turkey cocks that he suffered
from the effects for many years aft
erward. What more natural than that
he should hate the Jesuits?
The first official mention of our na
tional bird in Italy Is In 1557, when
the magistrates of Venice, In an ordi
nance to suppress luxury, forbade Its
presence at any tables but those of
the. clergy, the nobility and their own.
In 1570 Bartollomeo Scappi, chief cook
to Pope Plus V., gave in his cookery
book several recipes for roasting tur
keys and dressing thetn with chest
nuts and garlic which have not been
improved upon to this day In Italy,
at least.
J. F. D. Smythe, who wrote In 1784
a "Tour of the United States of Amer
ica," declared that in the unsettled
country back of Virginia he iw wild
turkey flocks of more than 5,000; while
in the woods of Pennsylvania they
were so numerous that their eggs
were -easily found by the farmers'
children and carried off to be placed
under setting hens. . No doubt tur
keys were abundant enough within
gunshot of the Plymouth settlement,
and for this very reason would have
formed, even had they been less deli
cious in flavor, the piece de resist
ance of that first Thanksgiving feast
with which ever since they have been
inseparably connected.
CARPENTERS' CAMPAIGN
t-t
CARD.
Z5he Wihbofl eI GhanKsgi-Oing Hint
You Should Join the Carpenters' Union
Because
1. In union there is strength.
2. It pays to be a union man.
3. It tends to raise wages.
4. It resists a reduction in wages;
organized labor seldom suffers a re
duction in wages.
5. It is the only way to gain shorter
hours.
C. It makes labor respected.
7. It gives men independence and
self-reliance. We are too often afraid
of our employers.
8. It develops brotherhood. We are
too often jealous of one another.
9. It makes a shop a better place
to work in and the world a better
place to live in. -
10. It helps the family. More money
means a better home, better clothes,
better food and more comforts.
11. It . stands for arbitration of dif
ferences . with employers.
12. It pays sick, disability and death
benefits.
13. You common sense approves it.
14. Your duty to yourself and family
dtmands it.
The United Brotherhood of Carpen
ters and Joiners o" America was found
ed in convention held in Chicago,
August 12, 1S81, with 12 local unions
and 2,042 members. Today it num
bers 1.917 local unions and more than
200,000 members.
The objects of the organization are
to discourage piece-work; to encour
age an apprentice system and a higher
standard of skill; to cultivate feel
ings of friendship among the men of
the craft; to assist each other to se
cure employment; to reduce .the hours
of dally, toil; to secure adequate pay
for work done; to , elevate the moral,,
intellectual and social condition of its
members; to Improve the. trade and
to furnish aid in cases of sickness, per
manent disability or death.
Apprentices over 17 years of age and
under 21 and candidates over -50 years
of age can only be admitted as semi
benellclal members entitled to bene
fits of that class, viz; $50 in case of
death.
A candidate to be admitted to bene
ficial membership must not be less
than 21 and cot over 50 years of age,
and must be a journeyman carpenter
or joiner, stair-builder, snip joiner,
mill wright, planing mill bench' hand,
cabinet maker, car-builder or be en
gaged in running wood-working ma
chinery. He must be of good moral
character and competent to command
standard wages.
It pays a wife funeral benefit from
?25 to $50; members' funeral benefit
from $100 to $200 and disability bene
fit from $100 to $400. In these bene
fits $493,432.36 have been expended
during the past .two years, and $1,934,-
396.66 since the year 1883 when these
benefits were first inaugurated. .In
the past quarter of a century $2,000,
000 was spent by the local unions for
sick benefits and the sum of $747,073.
19 was expended by the general office
for strike and lock-out purposes. This
is fully $4,681,469.85 expended for ben
evolent and charitable purposes.
It has raised the wages in hundreds
of cities, and placed fully $11,000,000
more wages annually in the pockets of
the carpenters in those cities than
they would (huve received if they did
not belong to the organization at all.
At the same time it raised the wages
of the non-union men. It also reduced
the hours of labor to eight a day in
689 cities and nine hours a day in. 804
cities, not to . speak of many cities
that have established the Saturday
half-holiday. By these means 30,000
more men have gained employment.
This is the result of thorough organiza
tion. All carpenters are eligible- to
membership and this card is an invita
tion to you as an intelligent and up-to-date
mechanic to join the Carpenters'
Union of this city without further de
lay. It is to your interest to hold mem
bership in such a growing and power
ful body.
