ROMANCE OF TWO GEESE.

MINI f11tOI VA = " ~ AA4AAoA4s
have always thought that wild
geese were the most interesting of
fowl. They have an intelligence and a
system of their own. They mate and
marry, used to think, just as people
do, and every gander is faithful to his
goose. Once when the wild geese
were flying overhead in the spring, one
of our neighbors got out with his gun
and shot into the flock flying overhead.
He wounded a goose in the wing and
it 1uttered to the earth. Our neigh
Dor captured it, and told his children
that they might keep it and make pet
Of it. BY caring for it tenderly and
feeding it often this goose became quite
tame, and stayed all the year with the
tame geese.
Next spring the wild geese were fly
ing over again and the goose that had
been shot and tanned heard them honk-
ing in the skies as they went over.
She seemed to recognize familiar
voice, and, showing great excitement,
gave loud call. This was heard by
one of the geese in the sky, evidently
her mate of former years, and he, after
circling around for a time, finally came
to the earth, found his long-lost goose
and remained with her. He was wild
for time, and would fly whenever a
person would cosac near, but finally he
became domesticated, and the two
raised a brood Of gosIings and lived
happy ever afterward with the tame
geese Indianapolis News.

GAME on ORGAN BuILpER.

This is a really interesting game
much played by German children.
First, the players choose one of their
number to be the Organ Builder. He
goes around among the rest and places
them in straight row. Each player
must hold out both his or her hands
folded in front of him, and the Organ
Builder goes along the row, saying:
''These are good organ pipes" Then
he taps each players hands lightly
with a thin stick, and the player whom
he touches must give forth long, sus-
tanned sound to represent tone OF the
pipe.
If the tone does not suit the Organ
Builder, he may demand an improve
ment, but only once, and the players
must obey.
After he has heard sound from
each "organ pipe" he retires long
enough to be blindfolded. While he
is away all the "organ pipes change
places.
When he returns, the Organ Builder
says:
s'Alas, how will my organ be, now |
am blind and cannot see"
He reaches cut with his stick and
taps the outstretched hands of one OF
the players. The one who is struck
must Immediately utter the same sound
as he or she did the first time, and the
organ Builder may demand that It be
repeated three times.
Then he must say:
"Ah, this pipe is" naming the
player who he thinks 1t is.
II he has not guessed correctly, all
the players dance around him and sing:
"What a builder have we here? a
What q wretched, wretched ear. :, y
Though the pipes sound out 50 clear!
Then they all change places again,
and the Organ Builder must try the
next pipe"
If, however, he guesses correctly, the
players sing: M
s'Though the master have no sight
He can tell his pipes Alright!
See your organ with delight!
And they pull the bandage from bis
eyes. The pipe whose name has
been guessed must take his place.
