A GOOSE FULL OF GRATITUDE.
It Was Saved by q Soldier and in Turn
Saved His Life.

1t Was Saved by q Soldier and In Turn
Saved His Life.
An interesting relic is preserved in
glass case in the Coldstream Guards
orderly room at Whitehall, says Tho
Million. 1t consists of the head and
neck of goose, around which is
golden collar, With the inscription
Jacob, Second Battalion, Coldstreani
Guards" Beneath it are the words
Died on duty" In 1888, when two OF
the battalions were in Canada helping
to quell the rebellion, some of the SOL
diers were posted as sentries round a
farm yard near Quebec. One day the
sentry whose duty it was to watch thu
entrance to the farm beheld fine
goose fleeing towards him, closely pur-
sued by a fox.
His first impulse was to have shot at
the latter, but this would have alarmed
the guard. He was compelled, there
fore, to remain silent, while every step
brought Reynard nearer to his prey.
In the height of his despair the poor
bird ran its head and neck between the
legs of the soldier, and at the same mo-
ment the willy fox made desperate
grab at the goose but too late, for ere
he could get feather between his
teeth the ready bayonet of the sentinel
had passed through his body. The poor
goose, by way of showing its gratitude
to its preserver, rubbed its head against
his legs and made other equally curl
GUS demonstrations of Joy.
Nor could it ever be prevailed upon
to quit the post, but walked up and
down day after day with each success
sive sentinel that was placed there.
The most remarkable thing in connec-
ton with the story is that the goose in
turn actually saved her preserver's life.
1t so happened that the same sentry was
on that particular post about two
months afterwards when desperate
attempt was made to surprise and kill
him. 1t was winter time, and several
meE stole up in the darkness to the
sentry's post, their footsteps inaudible
on tho soft snow. The soldier mean
while marched up and down his lonely
beat, followed by the devoted goose,
until he again stood at ease before the
sentry box.
IhisWas the enemy's opportunity. But
just as two of their number were pre-.
pairing with uplifted knives to spring
upon the unsupported man, the bird
rose suddenly on its wings, right in the
:aces of the would be assassins. They
wore astonished and rushed blindly for
ward but the sentry, fully aroused to
his danger, bayoneted one and shot ct
the other as he was running away.
Meanwhile, the other conspirators
approached, but the bird repeated its
tactics and enabled the sentry to keep
them at bay until the guard came upon
the scene and made them fly for their
lives. On arrival Of the regiment in Lon
don the bird resumed its old duties with
the sentinel posted at the barrack gates
"Jacob was eventually run over by a
van, and died at the post of duty after
a sentry 60" of twelve years. .,,.

Who the Nanny-Goat Was.

A rather vulgar parsonage, who had
been created marquis, managed to
get himself invited to court ball in
Italy. The new-fedged marquis could
not contain himself for joy, and exhaled
proud satisfaction at every pore. Cast.
ing an Olympian glance around the
room, he CHANGED to spy among the la.
dies the tall angular figure of an elderly
matron, with compressed lips, as though
afraid of wasting her breath, and as
lean as lath. She was leaning on the
arm of a young gentleman.
"Who is that nanny-goat? said the
noble lord, to gentleman who was
standing beside him. And the latter
replied, with knowing smile:
THAT nanny-goat is the Embassa.
dress of S., the mother of the kid who
is giving her his arm, and the wife of
the old buck who has the honor of
speaking with your excellency." ..sxs

Intelligence of Birds.

Kant, the philosopher, told his
friends one day how, as he passed a
certain building in his daily walk, he
had noticed number of young swaI-
lows lying dead upon the ground. On
looking up he discovered. as he fancied,
that the old birds were actually throw
ing their young ones out of the
nests. 1t was season remarkable for
the scarcity of insects, and the birds
were apparently sacrificing some of
their progeny to save the rest. "At
this" added Kent, my intellect was
hushed; the only thing to do here was
to fall down and worship" ...

county wi,hin which such person was
so held or confined, and from which
they may have been so taken, shall be
liable to pay a specified large sum to
the surviving husband. wife, children
and parents of said person who shall
so suffer death
2 Make the county also liable for
damage when any person not being a
prisoner or under legal duress is
mobbed by two or more persons and
the said criminals are not within a
specified time indicted and prosecuted
for their crime
J. Make each person or corporation
also liable for damages who takes part
IN or aids by acts or in any way abets
IN mobbing of person.
D. Give the surviving relative an
action in the District Court OF any

mltied, or in any county where either
or all plaintiffs may reside when the
action is instituted.

mold his office and provide for his re-
movai when prisoner is taken from
