GEESE FOR THE TEUTONS
Great Flocks Cross the Russian From
tier in the Fall Months-Are
Fattened.

Americans who cross the Rus
sian frontier i'm the fall months oil
the railroad between Warsaw and
Berlin are likely to see an unusual
sight. They will observe flocks Of
geese numbering 1000 or more be
ing driven toward the frontier,
SAYS the New York sun.
Each flock is in charge of four
or five men, some with red flags
and others with hooked sticks. II
n refractory bird struggles ont o.
line it is dcftly caught 10y the neck
with a hooked stick and returned
TO its place.
Germany buys more than 1000.
600 of these Russian geese every
year between August and NOvem-
Der. The Germans are very fond
of goose and especially of smoked
goose breast. which sells for about
20 cents in that country and for
two or three times as much in New
York. Roast goose is also the
principal dish on 81. Martins day,
both in Germany and in Russia.
having the same honOred place
that the turkey occupies with Us
on Thanksgiving day.
Far back i'm Russia one may see
at the geese collecting stations
the loading of hundreds of cars
with these birds. The cars have
four platforms, one above anoth.

stretched from the ground TO
the highest shelf.
1t requires some cOaXing to get
the birds up the gangway, but
when one starts others crowd
along and the platform is soon
filled. Then the bridge is connect
ed with the next lower platform.
and so on till the car is locked up
with several hundred geese on
board.
Geese do not stand long trans
pOrtatiOn very well. Several
years ago the Russian exporters
made the experiment of sending
them through to Germany with.
out any rest. Many of the birds
were sick when they reached the
frontier, and the Germans refused
to buy them.
So tibet exporters went back to
the old plan. When the journey
is long, and it often takes several
days, the geese are unlOaded at
two or three intervals and driveh
through the fresh air and across
the commons. where they may eat
some grass. to the next station.
when they are loaded on the cars
again.
AS the trains approach the from
tier they are stopped at little
village, the geese are taken off
and start on their last walk. They
are Hospitality welcomed by the
employees of the goose fattening
plants across the border. Ponds
to swim in and the most nutri-
tious food are provided, and in a
few weeks they are ready for
market.

are on stills, to keep them out of the

A STOLEN INVENTION.
How the Designer of the Hanson
Cab Lost a Fortune

How the Designer of the Hanson
Cab Lost a Fortune.
Charles Hanson, the famous English
architect, was a talented man in many
respects other than in the exercise of
his profession. He was dining on
certain day with few friends when
one of them tainted him with being
unable to invent vehicle which would
supersede the old fashioned hacks and
cabs in universal use in London. Mr..
Hanson got a sheet of paper, and
without any delay he sketched out his
idea Of a safe and convenient mode of
passing through the crowded streets
Of the great metropolis. His friends
watched him while he was at work
and unanimously applauded the sketch
which he had drawn. They dubbed it
by the name of its inventor, and it was
then and there called a Hanson car"
One of those present advised him to
take out patent for 1t, which he said
he would do on the morrow. Howev-
er, there was one dishonest man in the
company, by whom he was forestalled,
for on reaching his own house that
evening and being. like Mr.. Hanson,
a clever craftsman, as all great arcLi-
tects are, he sketched out car like
the drawing he had seen, and early the
following morning he took 1t to the
Office and got out patent for 1t in
his own name, thus robbing the talent
ed inventor Of all the remuneration
which he deserved to reap from it. 1t
brought an immense but i'll gotten for
tune to the one who had perpetrated
the fraud, whereas Mr.. Charles Han
som was never one penny the richer

officer was near the port gangway

noticed that the jug had an unusually

Below that were three gallons Of gin.

eve often receive peculiar requests
for overdrafts,' said banker the 9TH
er day "a client whose standing ac-
count had never exceeded $1,000 re-
quested US to grant I'm an overdraft
Of $4,000, stating thath was not able
10 offer any explanation at the present,
but assured us that at no time would
the bank be in any danger of losing. as
the overdraft would not be real.
after some hesitancy we consented,
but stipulated certain conditions and
reserved the privilege of refusing if
these conditions were not followed.
Shortly after his departure well
dressed gentleman came in and handed
to our paying teller a check for $1,000
bearing the signature of our client and
with it a letter requesting us to honor
the check with cash. This letter was
one of the conditions we imposed for
our safety. Still feeling that we were
taking chance, the money was passed
out to him. After holding the currency
a moment in his hands he returned it,
with a request for the check, which he
destroyed before u.s.
'On the following day our client
thanked US for our courtesy and waly-
ed the overdraft privilege, saying that
he had no further use for it. He had
with him check for $780, which he
deposited. This he had won from his
friend on bet. He had bet that he
could negotiate an overdraft for that
amount without first explaining that
it was bet and the nature Of 1t, and
his friend wagered that no bank would
trust him for that amount" kansas

In the old mystic books of the an
clients it is found that they believed in
the power of precious stones to bring
good fortune through planetary aff1ni-
ties of certain days They imagined
that gems as well as metals were pro-
duced through the chemical operations
of the planets working secretly in the
body Of the earth. Therefore certain
stones must be worn on certain days
of the week for good luck.
The table Of stones as given by the
Hermetic brethren is as follows:
Sunday, the suns day, gold and all
yellow stones.
Monday, the moons day, pearls and
all white stones except diamonds.
Tuesday, Mars or Tyr's day, rubies
Wednesday, Wodens day, sapphires
and all blue stones.
Thursday, Thor's day, garnet and all
red stones except rubies.
Friday, Freja's day, emeralds and all
green stones.
