ROMANCE OF TWO GEESE.

I have always thought that wild
geese We're the most interesting of
fowl. They have an intelligence and
system of their own. They mate and
marry, l used to think. just as people
do, and every gander is faithful to his
goose. Once when the wild geese
We're 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 fiuttered to the earth. Our neigh
Dor captured it, and told his children
that they might keep it and make a 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 rs they went over.
She seemed TO recognize familiar
voice, anu showing great excitement,
gave a 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 4 time, finally came
to the earth, found his longlost goose
and remained with her. He was wild
for a time, and would fly whenever
person would come near, but finally he
became domesticated. and the two

around the northern part of the Tsu
islands and came upon the Russians
steaming in double column with The
cruisers to port. Togo enjoyed the
great advantage of tactical position
when he opened fire, having the light

and Rojestyensky's heavier vessels

Besides, Togo was able to use all his

GAME OF ORGAN BUILDER.

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 a 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 Il 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 be
is away all the organ pipes" change
places.
When he returns, the organ h"iiHeF
says:
alas. how will my organ he, now
am blind and cannot see?'
He reaches cut with his stick ana
taps the outstretched bands of one OF
the PLAYERS. The one who is struck
must Immediately utter the same soulid
as he o., she did The first time. ana 'lle
Organ Builder may demand that 1t De
repeated three times.
Then he must say:
"Ah. this pipe is naming Tie
player who he thinks it is.
If he has not guessed correctly. all
the players dance around him and sing:
"What builder have we here!
What a wretched, wretched ear, -,
Though the pipes sound out so clear
Then they all change places again,
and the Organ Builder must try the
next pipe"
If. however, he guesses correctly, the
players sing:
Though the master have no sight, \
He can tell his pipes Alright.
See your organ with delight!
And they pull the bandage from his
eyes. The pipe" whose name has
been guessed must take his place.

Waters Alive With Slavs.
The waters were alive with Russian
seamen desperately striving 10 make
land in small boats or clinging to
masses of wreckage. Small merchant
men and pleasure ships went out to
pick up all the survivors they could
find. They rescued several hundred
men, many wounded. and all in a state
of extreme exhaustion.
The men were in desperate straits.
The boats in which they sought ref

cases not at all. so that TO the terrors
of heavy seas were added the panss
of hunger and thirst.
The survivors state that they had
absolutely no chance of winning, the
attack of the Japanese was so sud
den, so overwhelming. The plan Of
attack was so different from that eX-
pected that the entire feet became
panic-stricken. The longTange fire
of the enemy was deadly. There was
no chance of replying, because the
Japanese had chosen their own range,
which 10 Russian ship could equal.
Torpedoes Spread Terror.
Then came torpedo boat attack
which completed the decentralization
and the crews took to the boats in
most cases before the torpedoes had
gone home.
Those who remained on board were
precipitated into the water by the ex-
plosions that followed, and many
saved themselves by clinging to pieces
