FOR THE CHILDREN
A Gander and q Doc.

We had large dock OF geese, and
among them. but not Of them, was
solemn looking gander that, as Lord
Dundreary says, "hocked all by him
self" He had evidently been outlawed
by his companions, for none Of them
ever noticed him. and when they were
out grazing he stayed away behind the
flock or wandered off somewhere alone.
Being thus cut off from his kind and
feeling. no doubt. the need Of compan-
ionship of some kind, he made up" to
Caesar, our big watchdog, fierce half
bloodhound. We kept Caesar chained
in his kennel during the day and turn
ed him loose at night, for we lived in
an out of the way place and had him to
protect us from thieves.
One day we We're much astonishcd
to see the gander standing by Caesars
kennel like sentinel. What he was
doing there we did not know, but we
watched him. and when Caesar began
barking at something the gander began
squawking at the top of his lungs. Now,
Caesar did not like this at all, and he
rushed out of his kennel as far as his
chain would let him and pornced on
the gander as if he would tear the poor
fellow to pieces.
The gander escaped with the loss of
a few feathers, and as soon as Caesar
became quiet he again took his stand
near the kennel. After several unsuc-
cessful attempts to drive him away
Caesar. seemed to understand the situa-
ton, and from that time on accepted
the friendship that had thus been Offer
ed to him.
The gander's devotion to the dog was
really remarkable. He would stand
guard for an hour at a time while C@-
sar slept, now and then with his bill
scratching Caesars head or his back al
If caressing him. And Caesar seemed
delighted to have him do it. If he wan
dered off occasionally after grass, C@-
sar would begin barking, when back
would rush the gander, with outspread
wings, cackling and squawking as he
came.
When Caesar was turned loose at
night, the gander would follow him ev-
erywhere. How late he kept this up we
never knew, but we have often heard
cacklng and barking intermingled long
after we had gone to bed.
This strange friendship lasted with
out an interruption for three months,
when Caesar was accidentally killed.
The gander then became so grief strick-
en- and forlorn that we gave him to
friend who lived at q distance In the
hope that change Of scene might
make him forget his sorrow.

stratton's Years of Prospecting.


Most people think because Winfield
Scott Stratton was carpenter and
never heard of until the Independence
made him multimillionaire in twenty
eight days that he had nothing what
ever to do with his own good fortune,
relates the New York Times. But STRAIT
ton had been an indomitable prospector
for years before he struck it. He lived
at Colorado Springs. and in the winter
he would work at his trade, and in the
summer he would pack burro with
his outfit and follow the beast on foot
over the hills until the storms drove
him into winter quarters again.
Stratton was invariably unsuccessful
in these summer trips. Year after year
he prospectcd In the San Juan. at Lead
vile and in other sections, but found
nothing. But he was all the time &C.
curing an unrivaled knowledge Of the
ore bearing ground of Colorado. And
he was no common prospector or min
er. After awhile he took course in
geology. mineralogy and assaying at
Colorado college. After that he went
armed with blowpipe, the only pro-
cess of assaying available to the pros
pector in the field. The territory where
he located the Independence July 4,
1891, had been deserted by even the
few prospectors who had staked claims
there as being entirely outside the gold
belt. Stratton was left alone. and they
called him 1.-The hermit Of Battle noun

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE
70 Hold FlOwers.

Great copper bowls of shade Of au-
tumn foliage, very antique in appear
ance, are the very loveliest and most
of the variety of tawny orange, spotted
in scarlet, look gorgeous in one Of these.
Curiously shaped old jugs, but still Of
metal. too, set off the dull orchids to
the best advantage. Seemingly the dull
background afforded by the old metal
throws out the beautiful tints of the
flowers in Rembrandtesque effect.
1t is said that the coral gem lotus,
very inexpensive plant, by the way, is
particularly pretty and suitable for
hanging basket The foliage, delicate
and dropping itself. has charming
tinting of faint, silvery green. Indeed
the whole plant is singularly graceful,
and when in flower the brilliant Grim
son blossoms showing against the gray
green foliage make it look like some
rare orchid.
By setting about bowls Of powdered
orris root ones rooms may be kept fra
grant with the odor of "violets dim"
that are surely, as Shakespeare says,
''sweeter than the lids Of Juno's eyes
or Cytherea's breath" But care must
be taken to renew this powder once or
twice month, thoroughly washing the
bowls, or the delicious fragrance will
be utterly lost, and these bowls should
be covered during the night to preserve
the strength of the powder. Quaint
japanese bowls-those of the ware that
shades from unglazed green to lightest
gray-make very fitting receptacles for
this sweet smelling dust.-Hcuse Beau.

argument. But We know better now. be
cause social and moral conditions are bet
ter. When the condition changes the law
changes.
But the sad thing is to see these teach
e!S OF religion requiring women 20 per
jure themselves On such a solemn occa-
sion. to promise to do what they 10 not
intend to do. and ought not to engqge to
do. It is Of a piece with the pledge re-
qutred of ministers or theological Dr- fos-
sOrs giving their adhesion to a creed
which WAS made generations ago. and
which can be accepted only in some very
loose construction of language Il tends
to insincerity. to fippancy Of thought
about marriage. even to misundersrani-
ing and differences that may lead to quar-
rels and divorce
Marriage is the foundation of society: il
should be the fit foundation for the best
society we know Such society reUufres
the best development OF woman as well as
of man. 1t makes neither a tyrant and
neither slave. but each the helpful ma e
and adviser of the other. In such society
as the Christian religion has developed
with education and culture the right and
the achievement OF the woman as well as
OF the man should be recognized To re-
quire the woman to put herself under the
Will OF the man. to obey him, as well as
to love and honor him. is a cruel, wicked
anachroism; and no clergyman is Jus; flied
in compelling a woman to make such a
promise and hardly so even If she desires
to make il. For her to make it is to dis
honor her sex, If she intends to keep il:
and if not. it is a falsehood which on such
solemn occasion ana on so serious a
subject approaches perjury.

THE BRIDES PROMISE TO OBEY.
4 Religious Paper Regards 1t as a
Remnant of Hnrbarism.


The promise of the wife to obey in the
marriage service is the ragged remnant
from the days when women we're the des-
pissed servants and drudges of men. In old
English usage tie woman promised to be
''buXom'' (bow-sOme. submissve). Now
the phrase is. in nearly all churches, that
she will love, honor. and obey him. The
obedience is made very pronounced, and
after the service, as they march from the
church. the organ rattles out the music
of Now you are married you must obey"
and the bride is gibed about her promise,
and declares that she had told the expec-
tant groom that she would say it. but that
she did not mean to keep the vow. What
ought to be the most serious promise OF
marriage. the pledge of dutiful affection
and and fidelity, becomes a joke and
farce, just because priests and people will
keep in the service of marriage the words
which perpeuate an antiquated, obsolete
condition of social life.
Still clergymen OF conservative ideas
apd whole denominations that provide a
required form Of marriage. insist on the
retention of the falseho3d. Sometimes
they even try to justify il from Scripture.
They quote Paul on the silence and obedi-
ence of women. as if what was right in
Paul's day were to be right always. They
even go back to the Garden OF Eden for
