"There goes tho old Dutchmun who had
the dangerous geese" exclaimed friend
in the country, tho other day, calling our
attention to Dutchman Of the "old school,
who was walking slowly along the road.
We asked for an explanation.
"Why, when the Yankees first began to
seNle hero, he was joined by a slab sided
specimen Of EN-. us he was picking mp the
quilts that his geese had dropped In their
chatiering morning waddies, ly tho edge Of
an oblong pond at the roadside. Presently
one OF the geese stretched out his long neck
at the Yankee, who started and mn IN if u

he came along dc street, I believe dey bad
