A POLITICIAN seeing a fat Turkey which he wanted for dinner, baited
a hook with a grain of corn and dragged it before the fowl¹ at the
end of a long and almost invisible line.  When the Turkey had
swallowed the hook, the Politician ran, drawing the creature after
him.

  "Fellow-citizens," he cried, addressing some turkey-breeders whom
he met, "you observe that the man does not seek the bird, but the
bird seeks the man.  For this unsolicited and unexpected dinner I
thank you with all my heart."
