Eats a Goose Every Day.

Charles Wurtz undertook three
weeks ago to eat goose a day
until he put away thirty geese.
If he eats the remaining seven in
seven days he will win 5000. IF
he fails he will lose like amount
to Charles Rose. BY the terms
of the wager Wurtz is allow
tWenty-four hours for each bird.
The geese, after being picked
and cleaned, must not weigh
less than six nor more than
eleven pounds. T h e eating
must be done in the presence of
appointed witnesses, fellow
members of an Elks Lodge.
Rose furnishes the geese. The
breast is boiled, the wings and
legs are fried, and the back is
roasted brown. All, including
the gizzard, must be eaten.
