a Farmers Treasured Geese Take a
Notion 10 Fly.


Notion 10 Fly.
A Pawtuxet valley farmer, whose
farm is near the village of Cromptou,
had literal exempliticaton few
days ago of the old adage which says
that Riches take unto themselves
wings and fly away" says the Provi-
deAce Journal. Something over year
ago he and his son fired at flock of
wild geese that flew over his farm and
managed to bring down nearly two
score of them. About 13 of the birds
were only wounded, and, surviving the
shooting, were so carefully kept that in
10 year their captors had succeeded by
iudicious breeding in increasing the
stock to over 20 geese and goslings.
They were kept in u pen that was Gov.
cred with wire netting, and seemed to
have become thoroughly domesticated
land satisfied with their surroundings.
One day lately the farmer, wishing
Ito let them feast awhile on the tender
blades of grass that were sprouting in
Jan adjoining field, opened the coop and
llet the strange flock into the pasture
sgreen and new. And this is where he
made mistake. The half-wild ganders,
geese and goslings reveled for awhile
amid the verdant grass and new-found
Freedom, but never made an effort to
rise above mundane things, and the
experiment was voted success by the
owners of the flock. They congratulate
ed themselves too soon, however, for
later in the day there came winding
over the Coventry hills, high in air,
snaky black line from which there
hoated down into that Crompton farm
er's pasture the "honk, honk" of the
wild goose, sound familiar to sports
men, which 1t seems the half-wild geese
In the verdant meadow also understood.
Without waiting to bid their owner
Ngoodrby, with one accord the ganders,
geese and goslings arose on new-found
wings to join their free fellows near the
clouds, and before the farmer knew
sThat had happened they were out Of
gunshot, following the black trail to-
ward the southeastern horizon.

Buffalo Jones, the noted buffalo herd.
er, has new scheme. He left the other

to eastern Alaska. He says he has two
objects in view; one is to discover, If
possible, an overland route from the
Canadian Pacific railroad to the Yukon
river, so as to avoid the tedious freight.
ing of goods to the rich gold fields OF
Alaska over the snow-capped noun
tains on mems backs, and the other and
principal object is to capture wild ami
mails to stock an island in the Northern
Pacific ocean on the Alaskan coast, such
as black, silver gray and blue fox and
American sable. 1t is his intention to
reach the barren region beyond the
Great Slave lake and drive n herd of the
almost extinct race of musk-oXen. He
took ten shepherd and two blood
hounds with him. The shepherd dogs
and the bloodhounds for trailing them
should they escape during the night;
also for trailing the fox and other an
imals. He is backed up by company
which is interested in stocking an is
land with all kinds of fur and meat
bearing animals, and especially those
animals that are likely to become ex.
tinct. Mr.. Jones will be joined by an
expert cowboy at Omaha, and will go
direct to Winnipeg, Manitoba, then to
Edmonton, via Calgary, Alberta. Here
he will be Joined by others. They will
go from there with pack mules as far as
possible, and then will be conveyed
with dog sledges to the barren lands.
For year Jones had the only herd of
buffalo, and he says he has made many
profitable sales.
