GEESE may be picked, says the
Farm Journal, two or three times dur.
In the summer. The time TO pick Is
when the feathers are ripe. This can
be learned by plucking few. IL they
come out easily and the quills
are clear they are ripe, IS IL is called.
IL they pull hard and the quills are
oiled with bloody 6uid, they must
be LEFT little longer. In picking
take only few feathers between the
thumb and finger and give q short
quick jerk downward. Practice will
give the knaek Of picking easily and
rapidly. Under each wing will be
found bunch Of rather long and
coarse feathers. These support the
wings and must not be plucked. Be.

ssNo, gentlemen" said Captain Skiddy,
decisively, 'syou don't catch me taking part
in any practical joke. I went out Of that
business for good over ten years ago."
ztssHow was that?" asked group of beer
eXterminators.
'sWell, it was in the winter of '72, maybe
'73. I was living in Davenport, Iowa, and
a man came round there giving balloon as
tensions. One day it was advertised the
mayor of the town was going up with him.
Now, the mayor of the town was a big fat
and light hat. This put me in the notion
of working joke off on the people. l got
acquainted with the @ronaut, and he agreed
to assist me in the scheme. We then got
an old suit of light clothes and fixed up a
dummy, which we filled up with sand, so
that it weighed about 200 pounds, and would
therefore drop Straight and heavy like 9
man. The daybf the ascension there were

"For murder"
EXACTLY A lot of boys, accompanied by
the sheriff, rushed in and collared me.
They claimed that the dummy had fallen
on farmer and driven his skull clear
into the heels of his boots. They said that
the balloonist had turned States evidence,
and the chances were that I'd be hung by a
mob before night"
"That was rough"
'Well, so I thought. I was just scared
to death, and begged the boys to stand by
and protect me. I ponied up $50 for legal
expenses, and they hid me in the garret Of
a neighbours house. They kept me there
ten blessed days and there wasn't day but
they struck me for twenty or two for con
tingencies. One night the whole gang came
round and said they had concluded, as ar
additional precaution, to hide me in the
hollow Of an oak tree about three miles ou
in the woods. I saw through the whole
business then and drove 'em out with
