Geese Out with Owner.

The unusual spectacle of couple OF
perfectly white geese out for an airing
with their owner is frequently seen
about Medford. The birds waddle along
at the mans heels, seemingly interest
ed in all that goes on around them, but
never swerving an inch to one side or

lot is a little terrier; but the geese do
not seem in the least afraid Of him.
First he bounds ahead OF the group. to
investigate something which has
aroused his curiosity. Then. as II he
had just recalled an imposed duty, he
trots back and takes up his position in
the trail OF the birds.-Boston Globe.

coverers in America. The imaginary
resemblance of the corona to the crown
of thorns is the basis of the fancy. In
addition to that there are the five an
theirs for the five wounds and the three
styles for the nails. while the hammer
