A farmers wife had flock of geese,
the leader of which was an old gray and
white gander called Elder. lie was UNI
usually large and fierce. and every
creature on the farm stood in fear of
him. The geese were kept in pasture
back of the house, and the old gandcr
allowed no trespassers on this territory
Mr.. Hunt, the farmer, at one time. at
tempted To let three young steers feed in
the pasture; but he was forced to take
them out, the gandcr flew at them with
such fury, beating them with his strong
wings.
The entrance to the pasture where the
geese fed was dilapidated old gate.
1t was Mrs. Hunts custom to feed the
geese with Mccullough every morning,
after the family breakfast
The Elder learned to push this gate
open and come out himself, but he never
allowed one of his flock to follow him.
He would march proudly up to the back
door of the house and wait for Mrs
Hunt to appear with the dough-dish.
When she came out he would seize hold
of her dress and escort her TO the pas
turc.
When she was not quite so prompt as
the gander thought she ought to be, he
would give three or four pecks on the
door with his bill to attract attention.
Mrs. Hunt, at first, was amused at this
habit of the gander's, and was quick to
respond TO his call 1t seems as if the
gander was pleased, also, at his success,
for it was not long before he would 90
10 a ~ or
a day. If Mrs. Hunt was busy and did
not want to feed him, she would call
out, go away, Elder! go away! and
the gander would usually march back to
the pasture.
One forenoon the Elder had been to
the back door three times. Mrs. Hunt
had scolded at him and he had returned
to the pasture. About eleven o'clock
she thought she heard the old fellow
again at the door
go away, you torment. go away this
moment" exclaimed Mrs. Hunt.
A moment later she heard the taps
again, and somewhat louder than be-
fore
"Old Elder, You 90 way scolded
Mrs. Hunt. You bothersome old
thing" and she emphasized her re-
marks by throwing stick Of stoye-wood
at the door.
a third time came the raps, and Mrs.
Hunt dropped her work angrily, went
to the door and flung it open.
"Oh, YOU she began, and stop
ped. For there stood her minister,
Elder Harper, at the door, with a look
of amusement in his eyes.
Mrs. Hunt felt seriously confused for
moment, but at length exclaimed,

aged, and he suffered the indignity OF
having his wings clipped. y new gate
took the place of the dilapidated old
one. and the Elder was confined to the
