One of the professional beggarL whose "IllY" Is along Dread street , from Chcstnut to South has evolved a now st 'le of approach which is bringing him In large returns. lIe studies the feet at passersh ) ' , and when he sees a man coming along In shined , or in shoes that have been new shoes that have been recently shined , he talces a stand directly In the way of his Intcnded victim and stares hardly at those same shoes. Of course the pedestrian stops short and looks down at his feet to see what Is the matter with them. 'l'hen the beggar remarlts , as If to himself , but In a tone which you may wager th victim hears well enough : " 1\ly \ ! I "Isht I had a pair of shoe ! I as good as them Is.

" aIt It all came about through l"armer Cuisine's reprchenslblo hulJlt of dls , cussing his affairs with all the world and bls wife. It was natural that ! Cuisine should swell with prldo as he viewed his tlock of 'fhahlisglvlng tur. ke's. The ) ' were birds.

So far all was well and the geese hung high III the Cuitino : ; household. Dut fate , at the eleventh hour , a fa vorl to tlmo with fate , brought the turlce ) ' fanuor in juxtaposition with his undoing , and so Idndly provided this stor ) ' for the edification of the public. Heretofore It has been the belief of most people that turl\C's are born to be fattened , Idl1ed and eaten. 'l'no expression , " 110 hasn't got sense enough to come In out ot the rain , " was coined , It Is believed , on a turleoy farm , for this species of domestic fowl wllI stay out In the 'Wet until washed away unless Its owner Inter. vones In his own Intorests. Dut It Beems the turkey has been much maligned. He Is In reality a senslblo bird. as this stor ) ' wlII prove. Cuisine made the mlstalco of under. rating turltey intelllgenco when ho he1d forth ono day to an admiring au- dlenco at friends and relatives on the astonishing success of his efforts at turl\CY breeding. "Lool { at that big fel1ow , " said Culs' ine , pointing at a gobbler , who stall- cd dlsl1alnully past with tall feathers olovated. "I have been fattening him especlal1y for the table of President Roosovelt. He's bigger than anything around hero , and I'm going to ha.vo him weighed and sent to the White House for Thanltsglvlng. Them news. paper fellers will get a.hold of It and my name will be In print tram Now Yorl , to the Golden Gate. 1 shall lelll him In a day or two from now. 'rho others arc all boolted to go this weelc. 1 expect to do right well with 'em all. " Thus thought Farmer Cuisine , with I an eye to the sheltels after the kill- ing. It never occurred to him the gobbler might bo listening. Nor did he dream for II. moment that turlteys I wore Intelligent fowl and would just IlS soon Cmtlnuo to strut the earth as bo trussed for the table. Had ho understood the lJlrds better , or had bo attended a mass meeting of gobblers called that ovonlng on the stone lcnco bohlnd the bnrn , ho might have re , trained thereafter tram taking the domestic fowl Into his confidence when discussing his plans. The meeting was called to order by the gobbler nlready reterred to-he of the disdaInful stalk. In I\ . few well. chosen gobbles he retailed to the sl. lent audlenco the story of their fate , repeating mournfully the remarlts made by Culslno concerning his plans. For them the spealter , or rather gob. blor , explained the da ) ' were num. bered. The glorious season of unlimited - ited corn was drawing to n cia so.

But , as Borne , ono l1as said , "Calmor counsels pre , valled , " and tbo unanimous doclslon ot the meeting was that safety could best bo found In flight. From that point the discussion was carried on in turltcy wblspers. " 'l'ho meeting stands adjourned , " finally gobbled the forensic fowl , as one by ono the turlts trooped away. The rest of the story Is almost too distressing to bo told , but an extract from ono ot the morning papers , pub , lIshed the day after the mass meot. lng , may bo hero reprinted. It ran : "Last night a band of sltllICul rus' cals completely cleaned out Farmer Culslno's turltOy houso. So cleverly was the robbery effected that not a slnglo feather remained on the ground , and 110t a sound was heard to disturb the farmer or his tamlly. Some persons In this vicinity are sure of a turltey dinner on Thanlts. giving day. From the wholcsalo na. turo of the steal it seems 1I1tOly that the tbleves cOlttemlJlated supplying an entlro township with Thanlesglvlng dinners. There Is no clew to the rob , hers.
