ever caused greater mischief than a
goose did recently in Lanesboro, N. Y.
That goose stole dozen valuable ar

of servant. For long time the family
of Albert jerks has been missing valu-
ables, and charged their disappearance
to Annie Coogan, domestic. The girl
was threatened with arrest to make her
confess and when she protested her in
nocence she was discharged. As arti-
cles continued to disappear the family
was in q quandary. A pet goose had a
trick of knocking at the door in quest
of dainties, aud on being admitted

train struck a horse near bingham,
Ill The animal was killed on the spot.
The engineer of the train promptly
wired in the accident and the claim

"Mr. Petersen" said the claim agent
to the old farmer, whom he found in the
barn, II came out here to settle with
you for Hhe horse that was killed by

Among the dozen articles found in the
