Show T POOR MAX GETS HIS A queer condition prevailed this I year in the retail turkey business, by which the poor man got the best of it. In New York, Chicago, San Francisco Fran-cisco and other large cities, Turkeys were selling on Friday at from 70 to 9 0 cents. That is about the time the rich buy their Thanksgiving birds. On Monday the price had dropped to r.o to 75 cents; on Tuesday to 30 to r0 cents; but on Wednesday the day t'-""- poor widow was getting good and hungry for turkey the price had reached the rediculeusly low figure of from 12 to 2 5 cents for dressed birds and for the first time in the lives of many, a poor town hoy got a taste of the millionaire's dinner.
