"The Goose Hangs High.v

1 clipped the following professed solu-
ton of the veXed question of the origin OF
this expression from an Eastern paper quite
recently:
"a practice prevailed in some parts OF
the South before the war to have goose
pulling frolic about the holidays conclu-
ded as follows: A goose was tied by the
feet to limb of tree just high enough
for horseman in passing, by raising in
his stirrups, to reach the head of the fowl
and give it pull. The string not being
strong, sharp jerk would bring the bird.
Each sport paid the owner of the goose
bit for a chance to pull it from the
limb; if he succeeded, the goose was his.
Sometimes it hung little too high, and SO
eluded the grasp of the catcher as he rode
under the branch on which the web-footed
| bird was suspended. In such case, as the
| horsemen galloped past in quick success
sion, the remark would be made by the
by-standers, that everything was lovely
and the goose hangs high"
Now the man who wasted the midnight
oil in writing that is bloody Mugglns,
whoever he is. The origin of the express
sion is as simple and plain as need be.
| You in the Atlantic and Western States
have two kinds of wild geese, viz: the
small, acknowledged, spotted-breasted
goose, called the laughing goose, and
Cne large dark goose PIopSlly CoiI1u ~, lily
Canada goose" AnSer Cdnadensts.) This
last always flies northward in early spring
time, in fiocks, under leader, who heads
the column, and at brief intervals. gives
off deep dull cry, Observation-Disclosures
From this note they are called in the West
and Southwest "honkers.n If the wealth
er is fair and prospect ahead pleasant, these
geese fly straight northward, high in the
air, the leader honkiDg" loudly as he
flies; but, if otherwise, they fly lower and
in anticipation of storms, break up their
place of alighting. Thence comes the ex.
pressive and forcible expression, " Every.
thing is lovely and the geese honks high"
The word "honks has been misunder'
stood or corrupted into hangs by the
whites who heard it, as I have heard il
many times years ago used by the negroes
in the Mississippi Valley.
