A TOUGH GOOSE STORY.

But the Western Woman Who Had Also
Seen Queer Things, Believed 1t.
She was a western nj had
been entertaining a oom full of guests
in an uptown hotel with some eXtraor-
binary tales.
She had just finished one particularly
wild and woolly border omanc when
a young southerner present drawlcd:
Madam, if anyone else in the world
had told that story l should have been
compelled to doubt it, but, of course. |
can not refuse to believe you.
Now" he continued, as if by way of
retaliation, you can not fail to appre-
ciate a most unusual occurrence in my
state. The past winter, as you know.
has been unusually severe in the south.
Well, in November, when the wild
geese were flying past us, a flock of
them stopped to drink in one of our
Carolina ponds.
Being 50 much pleased with the wa
ter they loitered for a day or two. But
one time while they were padding
around a sudden cold wave swooped
down without any warning. A crust
of ice formed over the pond in less than
a minute, and there were the geese
stuck as fast as if they had been nailed
20 a board.
For several days the geese-there
must have been a thousand of them
futtered and squavked trying to ex.
tricate themselves, but to no purpose.
The people in the neighborhood
watched their struggles with more or
less curiosity, and finally a mountaineer
and his wife ventured on the ice to cap
ture some of the game.
The geese made one tremendous eff.
fort in unison, and lifted the whols
sheet Of ice into the air, slowly flying
away with it. Slowly the ice foe
assembled until it became a mere speck
in the sky and finally disappeared alto
gether. The neighbors are now watch.

The western woman looked up at the
speaker and remarked: Well, that
certainly does seem incredible, but ]

queer things mysef."-N. Y. Herald.

AN STORY.
How an Intelligent Pachyderm Utilized
Python In the Cyclone Belt.

no" an Intelligent Pachyderm Utilized a
PYTHON In the Cyclone Belt.
They were swapping truthful tales
zt the hotel n evening, and by mani
nous consent the man from Girard,
Pa, was awarded the sugar-coatCd
bun.
I've e a good deal" said he,
about the intelligence of elephants,
but there Is an elephant out in Geneva,
u, which Is wintering with a circus
there, that Is the smartest and most in
telligent elephant on earth.
Once in awhile a cyclone sweeps
over the Buckeye state hat lepels
buildings to the ground. The elephant,
whose nam is Snoozer, knows as much
about meteorological conditions as the
entire force of the weather bureau COM
blinded. Not long ago, as Snoozer cast
his weather eye out of the window of
the building in which the menagerie
was confined, he discerned a marked
change in the barometric condition Of
the atmosphere. He also saw a cyclone
to the southeast headed dead on the
menagerie building. Slipping his chain
and grasping IN ak in his trunk, he
ven out to the windward Of the build
ing and drove a guy stake deep in the
ground. The cyclone was then but a
mile off, and was rapidly nearing the
building. Rushing inside, Snoozer un-
fastened the cage containing the giant
python and, selling the big snake in
his trunk, trotted outside and tied his
tail to the guy stake. Then rearing
him Golf on hia hirS 1nre he f%n-nI
the python's head around the enter
chimney of the building. The cyclone
was now but a quarter of a mile away.
"Dashing around to the leeward of
the building, the intelligent p~achyderm
braced his powerful legs in the
ground and put his hands against
the side of the building. The cyclone
was now but a hundred yards off.
The mex instant it struck the menag-
erie with terrific force. The superior
intelligence of the elephant was here
most evident. If he had taken a. chain
and fastened it to the windward side of
the building it would have been snap
ped like a thread, but the python was
elastic and he stretched just enough to
hold the building in place, together
with the elephants brace on the other
side. The force of the cyclone was so
great that it stretched the python ten
feet and showed SnOOzer's legs down
into the hard ground up to his body.
when the cyclone passed over
Snoozer trotted around, united the
python, replaced it in its cage, pulled
up the guy stake with his trunk, re-
turned the ak to its place, slipped the
chain over his forefoot, and cOrtented-
ly resumed his monday meal of hay"
