''To-be-sure We will" said tie gray
goose, stoutly. Il have heard from
some of my relatives, who have travelled
q good deal. that only short distance
from here there is summer all the year
round.
That's where we must CO. said
Chanticleer, sagely. But for to day,
we will stop where we are. 1t seems
quite warm and comfortable here, and
tonight we can roest in those trees that
grow around this open space"
So they all scattered about on the
glade, picking off bits of the grass and,
even finding few insects among the
leaves which had drifted from the ada
cent trees.
"Come, my dears," said the old buff
hen to her brood of long legged, half
grown pullets, who were always clam
orng for something to eat, ''les Us go
into the edge of the woods there, and
scratch among the dry leaves. We may
chance to find some nice beetles, or q
few fat snails, perhaps
SO the long-legged pullets followed
their mother into the woods, and went
to scratching pell-men among the dry
leaves.

hopes of getting plump fowl for nay
supper, but all in vain. Now L will
have my revenge.
And carefully watching his opportu-
nifty, Mister Fox darted out, seized the
largest of the long-legged pulletS, and
bore her away in triumph.
The furious squawking and oRtcries
of the captive pullet and her frightened
mothers and sisters brought the other
fowly quickly to discover the cause.
"A fox!" gasped Chandelier. ''Wh-
which way did he go2 We had better
all run home and consider what to do"
So they started, hustling and scurry-
ing through the woods as fast as they
could.
But, with all their speed, one old
drake, who was so fat he could not
waddle very fast. and was bounced up
on and carried off by raccoon, who
was hidden in clump of bushes by the
roadside.
''Quit! quit! quitr' painted an old
turkey-hen, as the frightened fowls
reached home and flew up on the very
topmost roosts of the hen-house. "We
are safe here, if we do get locked up at
night, and for my part l shall stay here
as long as live"
And the rest of the flock twittered
their approval of her resolution.
We may have some things to COM
plain Of" said the gray goose, when
she had somewhat recovered from her
fright, ''but at least We are well fed
and protected from the varmnts that
live in the woods. And I've heard my
relations say:
Its better to bear the ills we have, !
Than fly to those we know not #.
And / agree with them.' \
And as the goose and her oft-men-
toned relatives were quite looked up to
by the other fowls, the matter was con-
sidered as good as settled.
''Dear me-" sighed Mona, when she
counted the fowls that night, as usual,
after giving them their supper, zone

But Mona never knew the fate of her

ORIGINAL TEMPERANCE SOCI-
ETY.

A Claim That John Wesley, the Founder
of Methodism, Was the Pioneer in the
Temperance Movement.
With great interest read in the New
York Observer of February 26 the edi-
torial entitled ssOrigin OF Religious
Newspapers and Temperance Socie-
ties" Forces having their origin as
far back as 1914, 1911 and 1910 were
noted, which had a very important
bearing upon the Temperance Reform,
extending and increasing in power down
to the present time. But there are his
torical facts which, it seems to me,
show very clearly that the things said
and done in those years were only fac
tors IN a movement having much
earlier origin. In the year 1743 John
Wesley, the founder of Methodism,
prepared the General Rules for the
guidance Of his societies, and one of
these rules required the mem
bers of these societies to refrain
from drunkenness, buying or
selling spirituous liquors, or drink
ing them, unless in cases of extreme
necessity Mr.. Wesley constantly in
sisted that this rule, with the others.
should be obeyed by his preachers and
enforced by them in the societies.

Worthy of Serious Thought.

One phase of the liquor question
which ought to set sober mind to ear
nest thinking, in these hard times,
when 1000 men are said to be out of
employment in Chicago alone, is pre-
sented in an English speech, in which a
statement is quoted from the Scotsman
that at the Caledonian Distillery which
sent out material which brought in
FL, 100000 (pounds) there were only
$50 people employed. Mr.. Hoyle had
shown that the same amount received
in return for cotton goods would give
employment to between 1000 and 5000
people. Here is food for thought to all
friends of the workingman, and to
those who make study of the rela-
tons between labor and capital. End
when we stand on the shore and watch
the black current bearing away on its
turbid waves the wrecks of hope, and
homes. and humanity, we realize that
more fearful question still is involved
in this satanic problem mot only how
many persons are employed, or fail to
be employed, by the cotton factory or
the distillery, but the difference be-
tween the products of the two indus
tries, and what is the outcome of thesa
products. Janus was sad to be two
faced, but this liquor fiend has many
faces: each, as we gaze upon it, more
horrible thar the last. Union Signal.
