HAD FORGOTTEN HIS HAT

bedclothes, Indignantly exclaiming:
Charlie, you have been drinking:
you know you have. Goodness gra,
cious; your breath smells worse than
a bar-room!"
Nonsense" Charles growled; lust
a glass of champagne for politeness'
sake; never was more sober in my
life"
Three minutes Of quietude. Then,
raising herself up on her elbows, his
wife gave him a scrutinizing glance In
the dim light, and, as she gazed down
on him, fairly screamed, between her
bursts Of laughter:
We'll, Charlie, you may be sober as
a judge, but it is the first time in my
life that I ever heard of a sober man
going to bed with a new silk hat on"
Charlie reached up, felt the hat, and
vicicusly slammed it into space. Save
for an occasional smoker from under
the bedclothes, silence prevailed for
the rest of the night.

HE BREEDS WILD GEESE,
Man Who Raises Birds to Decoy Their
Free Brothers.

Free Brothers.
F. w. Thompson of Salisbury Cove,
Me-, has succeeded in breeding wild
geese in captivity. For sixteen years
he has been experimenting and is now
satisfied with the success he has
achieved. He can breed them almost
as well as the domestic geese. Mr..
Thompson secured his first trio of wild
geese by shooting into a flock and Grip
ping them. He was very careful that
nothing should happen to them until
he had secured a sitting or two Of eggs
and had raised a flock Of wild geese
that would stay with him. But his first
years experience was a failure. The
geese laid eggs, but they were not fer
tile and he did not secure a single Cos
ling. The next year he sent to a breed
err OF wild geese in Massachusetts, and
bought a gander, the bird costing, ex-
press included, SIG. 1t proved a good
Investment, as he raised nine goslings
that year and since then has raised
from fifteen to twenty-five annually
iioAh Sho ChicC pairs WHICH ne Keeps.
The wild goose lays but one litter Of
eggs, although she will sometimes lay
three or four extra eggs if not allowed
to sit When the goslings are about
four weeks old the end Of the wing
on which the flight feathers grow must
be removed to the first joint. IT be-
lieve," said Mr.. Thompson, "the in
stinct for flight, or migration, is so
strong hat even after being bred SO
long in captivity they would leave
either in the spring OIL the fall. 1t is
interesting to see the geese change
their location on the farm. In the fall
they will locate at the south end of the
farm buildings, and in the spring they
will move to a point north. 1t is the
same way when they fly, as they often
do, sometimes a mile or so away; but
they always go north in the spring and
south in the fall."-New York Sun.

meal time, both for the fishermen and
the sharks, the former were not long
in finding 1t out and making up their
minds to eat their dinner on the
banks of the creek. They Immediate
ly put oars to the boat and pulled for
their lives and the shore.
The sharks were gaining on them,
but the fishermen didn't stop to meas
ure distances, as it was dinner hour
for all concerned. With superhuman
efforts they bent to their oars, shoot
ing the boat through the water, and
finally reached shore. Two of the big
fish, the leader and his closest fol-
lower, ran in too near the shore and
became stuck in a mud fiat.
Capt. Bounds seized his rifle lying
in the boat and dispatched them both.
The men declare that the larger of
the two sharks would measure nearly
eight feet and the smaller one about
five and one-half. After killing their
leader the other sharks, some half
dozen in number, sank below the sur.
face and were seeI no lore.
The two men didn't care to take
chances on rowing home, so they took
the land route. Capt. Stewart says
there is not enough fish in the Allan
tic cea if they were all in the
creek. to induce him to so fishing
again until cool weather sets in

Rome were in the approaching train,
and 1t was probable that they bore
wealth for Horam.
