disposition on the part of some to allow the
President little time to recuperate from the
fatigue incident to his trip to New York, but
this consideration was by no means general.

glowing terms Of his pleasant experience

IN THE BLACK FOREST.
The Beautiful Legend Connected with One
of Its Remarkable Lakes.

The Beautiful Legend Connected with one
of Its Remarkable Lakes.
The Schluchsee is tho largest lake in the
Black Forest and one of the most picturesque
During the spring and summer it is a great
resort for invalids from Srasburg and
Heideburg, attracted to the neighborhood
by the bracing quality OF the air and the hne
water in this vicinity.
The lake itself affords excellent bathing,
which is said to be a great restorative in
cases of chronic disability or slow GONZALES
cence. The origin of this curative power is
explained by another characteristic legend,
which, although it excites the ridicule of the
physicians of today, has nevertheless the
merit of accounting for fact otherwise in
applicable, like its sister stories OF the Black
Forest.
At the period of the Crusades when so
many good Christians left their homes and
native land to go to the deliverance of the
Holy City, there lived in this country brave
warrior called Conrad Won Feldberg He ac-
companied Godfrey of Boulogne to the siege
of Jerusalem, where his stout lance had laid
many fierce Saracen i'll the dust
Conrad was also the companion and friend
of Tancred, and Raymond Of Toulouse.
After he saw the crescent go down before the
cross, and had kissed the holy sepulcher with
his pious lips, he prepared to return to the
land of his fathers, where he was the possess
or of a lcrdly castle in the Black Forest.
Here, too fair maiden, to whom he was
betrothed, awaited his coming with an anx-
iouS heart; and during her lovers long abb
sence it was her daily custom to ascend to
the top of a lofty tower, whence she could
see the spot where they renewed their mu-
tual VOWS on the eve of his departure.
The brave crusader reached the Rhine land
in safety and arrived in the valley of the
Schluchsee. One evening, as he was passing
through the forest he came to a lake which
he did not remember having seen before. 1t
was a lovely and peaceful spot. Night was
at hand. The turf was cool and soft, and
Conrad, weary from his long journey, could
not resist the temptation to repoSe. He COM
mended his soul to God and lay down on the
green sward with no thought of danger near.
At this era the SCluchsee was haunted by
fairies, who had many traits in common with
their neighbors, the Willis, or dancing spirits
of the Mummelsee Soon a beautiful female
form arose from the tranquil waters of the
lake. She saw the young Crusader sleeping
in the moonlight and gazed on his handsome
| features with admiration. Then she Gnvel-
oDed him in her long sea green tresses and be

A Goose Keeps Guard for a Cow.

In The Christian Union read the follow
ing article: "A Kitten at School" 1t brought
to my mind an incident that came under my
observation while spending few days in the
family of a relative in Seymour, Ind, last
October. In that city, like most of the west
ern towns, the hogs and cattle run at large
through the streets. One noon, as | was leav-
ing the house with my friend, he called my
attention to a COW and goose near the gate.
A quantity of refuse from the kitchen had
been thrown into the gutter, which the cow
seemed to eat with a relish, and close by the
side of her stood a large gray goose, as it
seemed to me, doing guard for the COW. While
this COW was eating three or four other cows
came up from behind, but the goose would
not allow them to come near her COW, but
drove them away as they approached. This
is not all about this goose. was told by my
friend that about two years before she went
with this COW she attended another COW. Her
first pct died The goose left her former
home after that and attached herself to this
COW; which belonged to family living some
distance away. saw her, on two or three
different days after this incident occurred, by
the side of the COW, and so fearful that some
one might mjure her or her mate that she
would attempt to follow you with such dem
onstrations, that only geese can make.-Cin-

Consult the Children.

Children have likes and dislikes, wishes and
plans, Just as real and just as cherished as
our own, and though they may lack judg-
ment in carrying them out they should not
be put down and crushed as if Of no conse-
quence. 1t is the parents privilege to help
mature the child's judgment, rot to deprive
him of it, 1t is more through thoughtlessness
than through intention that a child is hidden
to do things that interfere with little plans
on which the heart was set, but if their de-
slres are habitually thwarted it may result in
the child growing up with no individuality.
