you my friend, Mr.. N, who will hold
an institute in this town tomorrow. I
cordially invite you to be present" The
geese appeared to listen attentively to
the young mans words, and when he
had finished they waddled gravely
away.
The incident passed quickly from
theig minds, the next afternoon arrived
and the friends repaired to the church
where they were to expound their edu-
cational views to those who were as
sembled for instruction and profit. The
day was beautiful and sunshiny, and
everything beamed propitiously on my
uncle as he arose from his seat behind
the pulpit to address the dignified
gathering.
Hardly had he opened his mouth to
speak when something in the wide
opened door attracted his attention.
There stood the old gander, the leader
of the flock they had seen the day be-
fore, and behind him were all the
geese! Having completed his survey,
to my uncle's horror and chagrin, he
waddled slowly up the middle aisle, fol-
lowed by the rest.
Was ever young man in more
painfully embarrassing situa ton? At
this moment he received tug on his
coat tails and plainly heard the par
TALLY suppressed amusement of his
friend and the whispered exclamation:
"They've come!"
My uncle grew redder and hotter as
the geese approached in front and the
tugs on his coat tails continued behind.
He could only stutter and stammer,
each moment becoming more painfully
aware of the awkwardness of his posi-
ton.
At last, with the timely assistance of
the congregation, the mweicome in
truders were expelled amid quackings,
confusion and uproar.
1t is almost unnecessary to add that
the fount of my uncle's eloquence was
choked for the time being, and conse-
quently his exposition on the education
of the young was not as edifying as it
might have been under ordinary cir
cumstances.
This did not end the matter, how
ever. My uncle's friend for many
years after, at every dinner when he
was called upon for speech, managed
to recount this incident. If my uncle
was there it only added to the general
enjoyment.
firing of this in the course of years,
Uncle Charles once arose, after his
friend had related the story, and said
There was one point to which suffi-
cient attention had not been called,
namely, why had the geese understood
so perfectly all that his friend had
said ?"-Cincimnati Commercial Trib-
une.

Thi. Hen Wa, Tbongh,tuI

A lady who lived for some time when
she was first married on Mississippi
cotton plantation says that among their
poultry was a hen who developed a
fondness for more civilized way of
living. She preferred the house to the
henyard, and never lost an opportunity
of mounting the steps and entering.
She was always "shooed" out, but this
did not cause her ardor to decrease.
Finally she conceived the idea of max
ing an Offering to the inmates of the
house in return for accommodations
so nearly every day she would enter and
lay an egg in the sheet trunk, which
stood open at that time of day in the
hall. The family were so amused at this
performance that they allowed her to
go in and out without molestation.

A Beautiful Girls AflictiOn.

From the Republican, Versailles, Ind.
The fuckers, of Versailles, Ind, like all
fond parents, are completely wrapped up in
their children. Their daughter Lucy, in
particular, has given them much concern.
She is fifteen, and from strong, healthy
girl, three years ago, had become weak and
kept falling off in flesh until she became a
mere skeleton. She seemed to have no life
at all. Her blood became impure and finally
she became the vGtim of nervous prostra-
ton. Doctors did not help her. Most of the
time she was confined to bed was very nerv-
GUS and irritable, and seemed on the verge
of st. Vitus' dance.
"One morning." said Mrs: Tucker, the
doctor told us to give her DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People, which he brought with
him. He said he was treating similar case
with these pills and they were curing the pa
tient We began giving the pills and the
next day could see change for the better.

How knOUledge-LOvtnE Gander At
tended a school Institute.
1t must have been in the '40's that
my great uncle, Charles N, was
graduated from college and began to
teach school. Communication was not
so rapid then as now, and the exchange
of ideas was accomplished with more
difficulty. The country was not over
run with teachers manuals and guides,
and there were few educational works.
It was only by gathering together and
exchanging ideas that teachers were
able to progress. To facilitate this
several would in the summer time travel
from place to place, holding what were
called institutes" to which all who
taught in the neighboring country
would flock to receive or disseminate
new ideas, and to discuss methods Of
study.
My uncle and a friend of his had
started on tour of this kind, and on
Saturday arrived at a town where they
were to hold an institute" the follow
ing Monday.
Sunday afternoon they took stroll
in the outskirts of the town, on the
banks of a stream, and were engaged
in deep conversation when my uncle's
friend espied flock of geese approach
ing in solemn procession. Moved by
a sudden impulse, he took off his hat,
made low bow and, addressing the
geese, said: "Allow me to introduce to

A GREAT TIDE OF PROSPERITY.
Canadian Loan Companies Getting
Money on Mortgages That Had
Been Written on.


Been Written on.
Probably in the history of the continent
there never was such tide of prosperity
enjoyed by any country as the Dominion Of
Canada is being favored with. That portion
of Canada known as Western Canada is at
tracing thousands of people who are seeking
homes on the arabic lands of that new
but rapidly developing country. Possessed
of exceptionally good railroad privileges,
the best school system in the world, church
es in every small settlement, while in the
towns and cities all denominations are rep
resented, and with markets in close prox-
unity to the grain fields, most of the re-
quirements for comfortable existence are
met. The development that is now taking
place in the mining districts gives an i'm.
pulse to agriculture and good prices, with
good crops, being about state of affairs that
the crowded districts of more populous
centers are taking advantage of. The Asso-
ciated Press dispatches few days since had
the following telegram:
Toronto, Feb 4.-(Special) loan com
panies that made advances on Manitoba
property years ago report that the returns
from the west during the past three months
have exceeded expectations. One company
has taken from Manitoba over $4,000 inter
est, and discharged mortgages many of which
had been written off year ago. Directors
of the leading loan companies are taking Q
greater interest in the business of their in
stitutions, and are inquiring into many
properties on which advances have beer
made.
The climate in the Western provinces o
| Manitoba, Alberta, Assiniboia and Saskat
chewan is excellent, there being no healthier
anywhere. The Canadian government il
now offering special inducements for the en-
couragement of settlers, and they hav,
their agents at work throughout the United
States for the purpose of giving information
and distributing literature. Among thos,
going to Canada are many ex.Canadians
who have failed to make as good living al
they expected in the United States.

BOBBING FOR CARAMELS,
One of the Funniest Games for Chill

One of the Funniest Games for Chill
dren Ever Invented.
Making taffy or any candy is, to be
sure, great fun, but eating it is always
far better. In this game the difficulty
is to- get the candy.
Buy some fresh caramels. They must
he quire soft. Thread a stout needle
with some fine sewing silk, tying a
large knot in one end. Draw the needle
through the center of the caramel until
the knot catches on the other side. Un-
thread the needle, leaving the caramel
attached to at least yard of silk. Then
tie good knot in the free end.
Enough caramels should be prepared
beforehand. When you wish to play

the game gather the players in a cir
Gle, giving to each caramel hung to
the silk.
The one who, after placing the knot
ted end between his teeth, with his
hands folded behind him, first succeeds
in drawing the caramel into his mouth
wins the game.
OF course, there is trick about it,
but very simple one. Just work it
out. One little hint. Everything de-
pends upon having that knot firmly
fastened in the beginning between
your teeth.
