Congress had also adopted, two years before he came In, the custom of allowing $25,000 yearly for the traveling expenses of the president, and he became the great presidential traveler, making a record of 150,000 miles In four years, as he went about the country appealing for a reversal of the verdict against his administration. In vain he strove to turn back the tide, which only sported with him. After having elected him by 1,200,-00- 0 plurality, the people parted with Taft more in sorrow than In anger.

In all the Indian villages, according to- those early explorers, turkeys were to be found, both wild and domesticated. Cortes, In one of his famous letters written about 1518; mentions the turkey. , He carried specimens of the bird to Spain In 1520, where they came Into Immediate popularity, and the breeding of turkeys soon became established. It was then that the turkey beon account came known as pavos, of his relationship to the peacock, which was then called pavo real the fowl of kings. It wns a long time before the turkey reached France, as far as can be learned from history, for the first turkey eaten there was at the wedding of Charles EX and Elizabeth of Austria, June 27, 1579, or 50 years after Spain had first tasted the bird. The turkey supplied for the wedding came from somewhere In the American wilderness. Its Introduction Into England seems to have been In 1524. But, whenever It was, It soon came into popular favor and was given such local names as Black Norfolk and Large Cambridge. It is an Interesting fact that these descendants of the parent stock were carried back again across the Atlantic ocean to New England, where, crossed with the original turkey already there, they began the breed that has spread from one end of the, country to the other. Many have been the explanations made as to how the bird now so popular at Thanksgiving came to be called the turkey, most of which, to ffie true scientist, are nothing but fanciful. The bird was called turkey because 1J was supposed to come from Turkey, where it was known as an' Egyptian hen. The markets of north Europe received this fowl as coming from south Europe, directly or Indirectly from Turkey. In France, however, the bird was called dindon, or in the feminine dinde, as though It were the fowl from India. dInde r But whatever dispute has arisen as to the name of the turkey, the fact yet remains that the turkey is indigenous to America. Although scientists believe it is possible that there was a species, the original of the present turkey, indigenous to the West India Islands, it is generally conceded that all turkeys have descended In some way or other from the three forms known today as the North American, the Mexican and the Honduras, the Oeellated ' .' variety. The Mexican turkey Js found wild throughout the republic. It appears to be the species first taken to Spain and It ls other European , countries. thought that the white markings of the variety of domestic turkey known today as the Narragansett come from this species. Whatever the turkey maf have missed through failing to secure that place of honor suggested for it by Benjamin Franklin as the national bird It has nevertheless found a place In the regard of the American people which is held by.no other fowl at least at Thanksgiving.
