last New Years. writes correspond
ent Of tie Youths Companion, very
amusing event occurred in my poultry
ward. where had flock of seven geese,
which | was planning TO keep through
tie winter. That morning / fed them,
as usual. giving them two quarts OF
corn taken from a barrel In the shed.
During tho forenoon / had occasion to
pass through the farmyard. and, to my
dismay, found the old gander stretched
on tile snow, apparently dead. The
geese too, appeared unusually dumpish,
as II other deaths might be expected in
a short time.
Annoyed at the loss Of the gander, /
resolved 10 make the damages as light
as possible, and so picked him up, car
ried him TO the house, and proceeded to
pick off his feathers This done, left
of by one Of the men.
In the middle Of the afternoon heard
n most unusual honking and squawking
in the baTnyard, and ran out TO see what
was the matter.
Matter enough, surely There was the
old gander whom I had stripped and
left Cor dead, strutting about among tho
geese, who bad recovered from their
mornings stupidity, and evidently didn't
like the appearance Of their former
"lord and Muster They were chasing
the poor. shivering, naked crea uro
about the yard, giving him spiiefuI pecks
at every opportunity.
| laughed till the tears came at tho
comical sight Then caught the poor
creature, carried him to the house, and
clothed him in red flannel, which l
sewed on. He was a funny-looxing
gander.
The geese liked him little better than
before, and pecked and chased him SO
badly that kept the unfortunate biped
by himself for few days, till he had
become a little accustomed to his red
flannel plumage. After that he had
little difficulty In recovering his former
dignity and prestige
What had caused the seeming death OF
the poor gander was soon apparent
Tho mischief was in the corn barrel
One of the farm laborers, an excellent
fellow, save that once in three or foul
months he would have "a little bit of a
good time, as he expressed ii, had hid
den his bottle of whisky, with which he
intended TO celebrate New Years, in tl.o
corn barrel over night The cork came
out, the contents escaped and saturated
the corn. and my unfortunate geese had
the little bit of good time.
1t was an amusing yet pertinent tenn
perance lesson to the man, and itwas
six months before he again indulged his
appetite / wish could write that ho
completely reformed, but hereditary
taint and habit were too strong to be
.hus overcome. The gander wore
his flannel suit all winter, and was
spoken of ever after as the "red-
flannel gander.

SON Lane jeweler to me a day or two ago.
II have been in this business for about
half q century, and the wedding ring is
about the same to-day, as when / served
my apprenticeship. The marriage token
has hardly been improved upon, IL Is a
ring Of pure virgin gold. Il is softly
rounded, and IL you hang 1t on piece
Of string and strike Il gently IL will ring
out an indescriably soft and sweet sound.
Ladies nowadays wear numerous rings
which carry no Significance, except, per-
haps, In some instances the possession OF
wealth. twenty-five years ago it was
rarity to see o. woman wearing more
than one ring on either hand, but now,
the more they can crowd on their dainty
digits the better they seem pleased; and,
what Is more, while they are almost in.
sanely mindful of the harmony in their
dress, they jumble diamonds, rubies,
pearls, garnets and the other precious
stones together in ridiculous confusion

between the two, in that the little Brooklyn store
is used for much the same purpose as was the little
London room-dolls' dressmaking.
The "Cheery Little Doll Woman" as the Brook
lyn dolls dressmaker is known has pathetic his
tory, but no one would ever know of it if they
waited for her to tell it. She is not one of the
gentlewomen who constantly talk of the good
times that are gone, but she is none the less gen.
tlewoman, and she has seen much better times.
When she was dainty little girl, instead Of the
dainty little old woman that she is now, her parents
were rich and lived in big mansion in New York
not far from where the Lorillard palace now stands
She was graduated from Rutgers College and was
reigning belle. But her parents died, and the
fortune, left entirely III the inexperienced girls
hands, dwindled rapidly, until presently it was all
gone, and instead of being the mistress of big
house, always open to her friends, she became the
mistress Of the little shop over,in Brooklyn.
For few years she struggled bravely to make
living by selling her simple wares and succeeded
fairly WELL But after time the great dry goods
stores became so attractive that Brooklyn women
stopped buying their trifes of her. and starvation
seemed not very far away. But it CHANGED that
when she first opened her store some kind friend
had made for its window big rag doll with little
ones grouped about it, which was labeled ''The
old woman in the SHOE" This attracted the at
tention of little girl at about the time when the
"doll woman's" prospects seemed darkest. The
girl bought the rag dolls More were made, which
sold readily, and now Margaret Ball makes COM
Portable living from the traffic. A kind Brooklyn
society girl takes time to paint the faces of the
dolls, and they are regularly on sale at the ex-
change Of the Young Women's Christian Associa-
ton in this town and at the various other women
exchanges in the same city.-N. Y. Press.

The "Doll Woman"

In dingy little store on back street across the
bridge in Brooklyn lives smiling old woman
named Margaret Ball, who works from daylight
until dark, and sings as she works. II the sew
enty years which she has seen have put crack in
her voice, they have not robbed it Of all its sweet
ness, by any means.
A glance in at the door OF the little store makes
one think Of the shop Of Dickens Jenny Wren,
whose back was bad and whose legs were queer.
And moreover, there is striking resemblance

The Mormon Leprosy.

Fifteen young girls, ranging in age from Is to
20, and described as every good looking" ar
rived in this country from England and Sweden
last Thursday, en- route for Utah. They formed q,
part Of the first batch Of Mormon proselytes for
warded this season under the personal conduct OF
regularly commissioned agents of the Church of
Latter Day Saints As the season advances we
may expect that the same story, with variations
will be repeated again and again. 1t Is very old
story. Emissaries Of the Mormon hierarchy are
all the while laboring among the most ignorant and
miserable populace of Europe, and drumming up
recruits for sending, like "dumb driven cattle"
to swell the Golfers and repenish the harems Of
Salt Lake City and other parts Of the polygamous
Zion.
When William M. Evarts was Secretary of State
he sent circular letter to United States diplomatic
agents abroad, requesting them to take measures
for warning the peasantry against the seductive
stories told them by the Mormon missionaries, who
all the while nfest certain localities Of the Old
World. 1t was wise, humane precaution, and
ought to have been followed up by more and more
faithful efforts in similar line from that time on.
There is too much reason to fear that, on the con-
trary, the matter has been allowed to fall into
neglect, and that the atrocious work which Mr..
Evarts sought to circumvent has been permitted
to proceed almost unhindered.
There is abundant proof that the greater portion
Of these Converts" are made by fraud. The real
character Of Mormonism is concealed. Does any
body believe that these fifteen young girls would
willingly go TO Utah if they knew of the foul and
cruel fate that is imposed upon so many Mormon
women? To be sure these recruits are gathered
from the lowest strata Of society," but they are
human and not bestial, they have the instincts of
womanhood. Many and many time the unhappy
women enticed from their homes in Europe to join
the jewellers in Utah have testified with tears Of
rage and shame that they knew nothing of polyg-
amy as an article of the Mormon creed or a part
OF its practice, until they found themselves help
less and hopeless in its loathed power.
Not only is the truth suppressed by the mission
aries Of lust and aVarce, but falsehoodS are used

CHARITY.
What is Charity?

What is Charity?
TITS not to pause when at my door
shlvering sister stands,
To ask the cause that made her poor
Or why she help demands.
TITS not to spurn that sisters prayer
For faults she once has done,
TITS not to leave her in despair
And say that l have none.
The voice of Charity is kind,
She thinketh nothing wrong,
To every fault she seemeth blind
Nor vaunteth with her tongue.
In penitence she placeth faith;
Hope smileth at her door;
She relieveth first, then softly saith,
$50, sister, sin no more"
