Going to Raise Wild Geese

Milford, Me.-Great numbers of wild
geese have been flying over this village
and lighting in the bogs of Sunk Haze
meadows for a week past Most Of the
fiocks go north after a short rest, but sew
eral hundred have stayed about the bogs,
picking frozen cranberries from the ice
sheets which still cover all the lowlands
The geese cause great annoyance to the
farmers by pulling up the young clover
from the newly seeded grass fields, and
have stripped many acres of upland that
promised to yield fine crops of hay.
Noticing that the geese seemed to be
very hungry, Cyrus Hawthorn, the owner
of large hay farm near the meadows, de-
termined to have some fun with the invad-
ers. For day or two he strewed corn
along a narrow gully, which the geese
made haste to pick up as soon as he went
away. Later he laid mill edgings across
the gully, covering it from side to side
with lattice work of wood, which was
weighted down with logs. Having stopped
the upper end with boards, Hawthorn
trailed corn from the meadows to this i'm
provised trap and threw lot more corn
into the gully which he had covered with
edgings. Two days later. when he went
out to learn the result Of his experiment,
the heads and necks of twenty-seven geese
were sticking up between the stats, and
every goose was clamoring to get out.
Hawthorn tied them wing and foot and
took them to his barn, where he is now
feeding them on warm mash and chopped
hay. He expects the females will begin
laying In a few weeks, and he hopes to
raise several hundred goslings for the
Christmas market.-New York Sun.

AN S. P. SURPRISE
Retiring Trustees Are Very Accommo-
dating-Many Objections


RIVERSIDE, April 13-The Southern
Pacific company sprung a surprise on the
people yesterday when it went before the
city trustees and asked for q new franchise
on Market street for their motor road. The
franchise asked for is for the privilege to
lay tracks and turnouts on that street be-
tween the present end of the road at Tenth
street and Eleventh street, distance of
one block. AS the section named Is right
in the heart of the residence part of the
city the proposition of the company does
not meet with much favor among the own
ers of property in that section.
1t is understood the company has secured
the option on block of land west Of Mar
ket street and between Tenth and Eleventh
streets upon which 1t is the intention to
lay sidetracks and turntable to accommo-
date the engines and cars used on the road.
The city trustees took the matter up at
once and an ordinance was passed to a
second reading granting the request Of the
company, and this action Of the old board,
whose life expires next Monday, is being
harshly criticised. Steps have been taken
by the property owners of the section named
to have an injunction issued against the
granting Of the franchise and then 1t Is
proposed to fight the matter out through
the courts. One of the principal property
owners in that section of the city is w. L.
Peters, one of the newly elected trustees,
who will take his seat on the board on
Monday next.

ONE BULLY LESS
Brainy Parent Hit Upon a Way Of
Curing a Fighter


"It's astonishing what bad record
one turbulent boy can give to a street."
said a man in the smoker OF a south;
side train. 1--WE have just one, and it's
a question what to do with him, his own
parents believing him in preference to
the neighbors."
''Do as did under the same circum-
stances" suggested one of the other
men; take the matter into your own
hands,"
But il you undertake to chastise a
neighbours boy you may be arrested"
Exactly what the father of the boy
on our street said I'd me when threat
ened to thrash the youngster. But I
thought up plan worth two of that
and got even."
"Give us the formula. Is It expensive"
mot as expensive as lawsuit or a
fine. One day few weeks ago my boy
came home crying, covered with mud
and bruises, and said the boy around the
corner had whipped him. This had hap
pened before, and when got home the
little fellow was in a bad state, and
made up my mind it was time for me
to interfere. I found that the bad boy
was the boss of the street, being older
and larger than the others. and that he
tyrannized over the boys to such an ex-
tent that they were afraid to complain
of him. When called on his father he
treated the matter as joke, and when
threatened punishment he grew angry
and dared me to layia hand on his son.
I knew he had the law on his side, but
I determined in my own mind to check
mate him-within the pale of the law.
"Well, interviewed a dozen of the
boys and found out just how affairs
stood in the neighborhood. Children
were afraid of the bad boy and parents
were afraid Of hisi father. Then got
down to business. organized the boys
into a band of vigilantes and agreed to
pay each one a quarter every time they
routed the enemy; in other words, they
were to lay for the bully and do him up.
Fists were to be the only weapons, and
any boy who was too violent would be
docked quarter. Then I went home
and waited. My boy was one of the
routing party"
did the scheme work?" asked sever
al in breath.
II should say it did. The boys worked
systematically and crew Of them was
always lying in wait to attack the bully.
The smallest one In the lot would begin
to badger him and the others would
come in as reinforcements. He| was
whipped so often and took his defeat so
much to heart that was compelled to
withdraw my offer and disband the
army. Now that boy is reformed
and truce exists that is not likely to
be broken"
"And the expense?"
"Only a matter Of few dollars. It
was the cheapest missionary work
ever engaged in."-Chicago TimesA

HOW TO TELL PURE WATER
Simple Test That Indicates Presence
of Impurities

A simple test for ascertaining whether
there is any impurity In water Is 10 take a
glassfu and add to It few drops of sui
phuric acid and a few drops of obdilute
solution Of potassium permanganate. A
perfect pink color will be produced, but If
the water contains decaying organic mat
ter the pink color will at ones become faint
and finally disappear. Sometimes ferrous
sulphate, hydrogep sulphite or other re-
ducing agents are present In water and
produces similar results. An expert can
always distinguish the difference and for
this reason the experiments of novice
cannot always be relied upon. But when
water shows an excess of chlorine and
bleaches potassium permanganata 1t is
certainly suspicious and should be an
alyzed by an expert.-Atlanta Constitu-
