The Goose Got Away.

To the Hon. Joseph Sibley. of
Pennsylvania. the yarn-loving
members of the House are giving
credit for this story:
There was rich old farmer who
lived in one of the interior districts
near Philadelphia, and who got
tangled up in money transactson
with one of his neighbors. Mr..
Aston, for that wes his name.
sought attorney, who gave him a
letter of introduction to brother
lawyer in Philadelphia, at which
place it was necessary to enter the
suit. the letter was delivered to
the lawyer, and while be was read
ing it he was called out of the
room, leaving the letter on his
desk. Mr.. Aston let curiosity get
the better of him and read the
letter, which closed with a post
script stating that "Mr. Aston is
a fat goose; pluck him heavy"
That was enough for the old
farmer, and. seizing a pen, he
wrote: "P. S. No. 2-The goose
has flown. feathers and ALL"
1t took him about three seconds
to amble down the stairs and into
the streets, and he has not had
anything to do with lawyers from
that day to this, preferring to pluck
his own Washington Times
