OR ONE CAN HAVE TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THING.

The Horrible Story of a Sensitive Householder Who Lived on the Fat

of the Land, but Could Not Properly

Appreciate His Luck, CHAPTER I “Lobelia,” asked Mr. McSwat as he surveyed the enormous fowl that loom- ed up before him on the huge platter, “how much did this bird weigh—gross weight, 1 mean, feathers and all—as it came from its beautiful home in the country 7’ “Twenty-seven and a half pounds,”

replied Mrs. McSwat. “The man said it was the biggest turkey he had sel¢ this year.”

After a few moments spent in a cares ful survey of the enemy, for the pur pose of deciding the proper strategic point at which to begin the attack, he grasped his trusty weapons and sailed in.

CHAPTER II.

“IT didn’t order any meat for this meal, Billiger,” said Mrs. McSwat as they sat down to dinner next day. “There is pleuty of the turkey left.”

“Is this the same fowl we had yes- terday?’ asked Mr. McSwat, surveying it critically, carving knife and fork in

hand. “It looks larger than it did then.” CHAPTER III. Saturday.

Dinner hour in the McSwat mansion. “How much did you say this majes- tic ruin weighed when in the pride of its full grown beauty, Lobelia?’ said Billiger, making a gash on the left side of the turkey, hitherto untouched, and slicing off some of the white meat.

“Twenty-seven pounds and a half.”

“I had forgotten whether it was 27 or 37. Did you ever see a picture of an eepyornis, Lobelia?”

“No. What is it?”

“It is a gigautic bird, of which some remarkably interesting fossil remaias have been found. Its egg was several times as large as an ostrich’s egg. The bird itself, 1 am happy to say, is now extinct—unless this is an epyornis.”

CHAPTER IV.

“The sermon this morning, Lobelia,” observed Mr. McSwat, sitting down at the table Sunday afternoon and unfold- ing his napkin, “did not strike me as being in the preacher’s happiest vein. What he said, though, about character being formed largely by the home life, with its quiet and refined influences— Oh, great Cowsar, Lobelia! Is this that thundering old turkey again? Are we never going to have the last of it?"

“Now, you needn't make a fuss about that turkey, Billiger. It’s nicely warmed over, and it will be just as good as ever. There's too much of it to throw away, and you know it as well as I do.”

“Pardon me for ask ig the question again, Lobelia, but how much did you say it weighed in the raw?”

“Twenty-seven and one-half pounds. You ought to be able to remember it by this time.”

CHAPTER V.

Early next morning, before anybody else in the house was stirring, Billiger McSwat slipped down stairs, took the remains of that turkey out of the ice- box and weighed them on the scales.

There stili remained seven pounds and a half, including the skeleton.

And the drumsticks, large, leathery, and terrible, were yet untouched.

Thereupon Billiger McSwat, with a hunted look on his face. fled.

He took his dinner down town that day, and when he did return, at 11 p. m., he sneaked up stairs to bed.
