AN ODD FRIENDSHIP.
A Goose That Exhibited 10th Affection
and Gratitude.

Ihcro Is IN old saying, GAS stupid as n
goose, but the following story, we'll au-
thenticated, of goose that lived moro
than lO0 years ago proves that u stupid
goose is capable of one of tho highest of
virtues, gratitude
ihls goose was once saved by the house
uog from the attack Of ~ fox, and from
that timo Ii attached itself in the strongest
and most atfcctionato manner to the dog.
1t would never quit tho kennel, except for
tho purpose Of feeding, when it would re-
turn again Immediately. 1t ALWAYS sat by
tho dog, but never presumed to go into
the Kennel, except in rainy weather.
Whenever tho dog barked tho goose would
cackle and run at tho person she supposed
thc dog intended to attack. and try to bite
his heois. Sometimes she would attcmpt
to feed with hor friend, but this tho dog,
who treated his faithful companion rather
With indifference, would not allow
Inc goose would not go to roost with
tho others mt night unless driven by main
force, and when, in the morning, sho was
turned into the field, she would not pass
through the yard gate, but would take ND
her position at the side Of tho kennel. At
last orders were given that she should not
bn molcsted. Being thus left to herself
sho ran about the yard with him all night
anu what is oven more cItraortlinary
whenever the dog went out of the yard
ana ran into the street the goose always
accompanied him, contriving To keep up
with him by using both feet and wings
In this way. running nnd flying, shc fol-
lowed him all over tho village.
This extraordinary affection of the goose
for the dog continued till his death, two
years after tho rescue. While the dog was
Ill the goose never quilted him day or
night, even to eat, and 1t was feared that
sho would staryo TO death. So orders were
given that II pan of corn should DO set CIV.
cry day close Ia tho kennel. At this timo
the goose generally sat inside the kennel.
and would not allow any ono to approach
it, except the person who brought tho dogs
or her own food
The end Of this faithful bird was melan-
choly, for, when the dog died, she still
Kept possession OF the kennel, and another
house dog being introduced, which, in
size and color, rcsemblod that lntely lost,
tho poor goose was unhappily deceived,
and, going into the kennel, AS usual, tho
now occupant seized her by the neck and
killed her.-Brooklyn Eagle.

LATE SPORTING NEWS.
Corbett Says He VIII Fight Jackson in
Oklahoma.


New YORK, March 15-Pugilist Cor
bett says that he had been trying for
months to arrange a match with Bob
Fitzsimmons, but he has found it i'm
possible. He does not look to be in good
condition. His face is flabby and his
arms are not SO hard as they used to be.
Manager Brady said Corbett would meet
Fitzsimmons on September 10 next, and
that Corbett was putting up his own
stakes for the contest.
On other matters Corbett said:
"Now that Oklahoma has opened its
gates to boxers, am not averse to ar
ranging a meeting with jackson to take
place there. He said he would meet me
any place in America north. of the
Mason and Dixon line. If he was sincere
when he made that statement Oklahoma
is the place for our battle"
Touching on the coming fight between
his sperring partner, Steve O'Donnell,
and Jake Kilrain, Corbett says he has
been misquoted. 81 never said O'Don-
nell would knock Jake out.
SIT took Sullivan more than two hours
to beat him, and l don't know of any body
who had a greater reputation as a
Knockout than John l. O'Don-
nell Is a very clever fighter and
l think will out point Kilrain. l
never saw O'Donnell fight, but 1 know
what he can do, having spared with
him many times. Some men box we'll in
friendly set tos in private, but go all to
pieces in fight before large crowd
Whether O'Donnell will perform as well
in fight as he does in practice remains
to ba eaan0
