Intelligence of n Gander.

There is Il neghbor of mine" says
one. of orr readers, who keeps big
flock of geese, and l recently discussed
with him the degree of Intelligence
possessed by these birds. As an illus

That old gander came home alone one
morning in great hurry. He was
evidently in great trouble about some
thing. He rushed up to me and bowed
several times; then he said something
which l could not understand and.

path by which he had Just arrived
Presently he stopped to see If l was

manifest satisfaction, and he led me
l to the pond. On the bank all his geese
were squatting around the grand
mother goose of the family, and she
had rat trap securely gripping her
| left leg. My appearance was hailed
! by shrieks of delight from the whole
party: and wheE I liberated the old

NO NEW CASES OF
TYPHOID ARE REPORTED
Physicians Believe Some Ill
ness Is Diagnosed Too
Hurriedly

At the Board Of Health office there has
been no case of typhoid fever reported
since Friday and but one more death has
been recorded making a total Of three
since August l.
The death reported is that OF John
Woolharr, aged Is years. who expired on
Saturday at his home. No. 1902 Gilpin
avenue. Physicians seem to be divided re-
garding the typhoid fever situation, some
holding that the rules Of the Health
Board regarding the reporting of cases
casues some physicians to report sick
ness as typhoid before the illness is prop
erly diagnosed and the disease fully de-
veloped It is claimed that typhoid cannot
be diagnosed with any certainty within
ten days Of thep roper method Of diagnos-
ing is followed out.
