Fat Geese At
WatertOWn.

purpose. After killing, great care
must also be taken in dressing the
fowl as the skin is very tender and
liable to split.
Three Weeks to "Stuff' Fowls.
The stuffing season usually is
three weeks, although some make
the period shorter and some
trifie longer. The geese are not
nailed down by the feet as some
people imagine, but are kept in
pens toward the close of the season
with plenty of water within easy
reach.
The noodles with which they are
stuffed are generally prepared from
a mixture of flour which is baked in
the oven and afterwards can be
softened before giving to the
fowl.
Attend to Work Hourly.
During the first and second weeks
the stutfing is done at certain
regular intervals, but during the
last week they must be attended
to almost hourly, day and night.
This is generally attended to by
the women OF the household.
When marketed the poultry have
a very inviting appearance, being
plump and snowy white with not an
abrasion or bruise, and so tied
as to resemble huge roll of white
butter. They are stuffed by the
farmers upon orders from local
dealers who in turn have orders for
the fowl from the central markets
of the world.

Watertown, Wis, Dec. 27.-Five
thousand or more geese are
being stuffed here this season, the
largest number since the establish
ment of the industry, of which this
city is the center for the north
west.
Bring Enormous Price.
The fowls are sent to every part
of the United States and bring high
prices. The total amount to be dis
tributed among raisers this year
will exceed $25, 900. One farmer
alone gets 5000 for 154 geese, more
than $6 per head. The average
price is $5.
The product is purchased chiefly
by the Jews who use the fat in
place of butter and make pate de
foie gras of the liver which grows
to an enormous size during the
stuffing period, some of them weigh
ing 81 pounds. These large livers
are taken from geese which weigh
80 pounds and more, one marketed
this season weighing 81 pounds.
neavIest Goose SO Pounds.
The heaviest ever marketed here
so far as known, weighed36 pounds.
The price paid for these geese is the
average weight of the lot. If they
average "a pounds the farmer re-
ceives "a cents a pound for them.
In the preparation of the geese
great care must be taken, as the
injury before killing will
destroy the goose for marketing

SANTA CATCHES FIRE
Exciting Scene at BriggsVille
Exercises.
From FridA5's Daily.)

There was an exciting time at
the holiday exercises given by the
M. E. church at Briggsville.
A chimney was built instead of
the usual Christmas tree, but a
small tree was placed beside the
chimney, trimmed and laden with
presents for the Sunday school
scholars.
The closing number on the pro-
gram was the appearance of Santa
in the person of Harry Davis who
was perfect representation of the
"Children's Patron Saint" While
singing his song previous to distrio-
uting the gifts, the infammable
material with which his suit was
trimmed caught fire on one of the
sleeves from a lighted candle on
the tree and in an instant he was a
sheet of flames. By the prompt
action of his brother Fred, and F.
D. Kimball who were near him, the
fire was soon squelched.
The burns which Mr.. Davis re-
ceived about the neck and face are
painful but are not dangerous. The
smoke which he inhaled into his
lungs when the fire was being
smothered has resulted more seri-
Gus than anticipated. He is getting
along very well however.

Immoral Plays to Blame For
Degeneracy In Modern Life

~ oIsnop CnA ~ o. omans
TIIE knowledge Of evil acquired from the stage has hurried
down to their ruin many young persons who but for it would
be good Christians and useful members of society. 1t ex-
plains the MORAL AND PHYSICAL DETERIORA-
TION Of those who from youth have been exposed to the enervating
influence which I have described. 1t explains why it is when men,
TRUE MEN AND CAPABLE MEN, are needed for any position
they have to be sought for MAINLY AMONG SONS OF THE
POOR. These, living a simple and natural life, trained to honest
work and taught by necessity to practice self denial, grow up WITH
CLEAR HEADS AND HONEST HEARTS and become men,
while habitual theater gocrs and votaries Of pleasure GROW OLD
morally and physically BEFORE THEY ARE TWENTY AND
NEVER BECOME MEN AT ALI.
What is the good of our greater material progress, with its appar-
ent refinement, if it cannot produce strenuous and VIGOROUS
CHRISTIAN MANHOOD? I appeal to the FATHERS of our
families TO SAVE THE CHILDREN. The fathers Of families
can do more to purify the stage than all the mayors and police of the
country. The theater business is like every other business. 1t seeks to
serve the public as the public desires to be served, and when those who
produce plays FIND DECENCY PAYS BETTER THAN IN
DECENCY the stage will at once become clean and wholesome.

The Perplexing
Problem of Divorce

By JUDGE W. P. WHITEHoUsE Of the Supreme Court Of Maine
l MA is known divorce is IN institution which has existed to a
greater or less degree in all ages; that freedom of divorce
- sometimes accompanies periods Of RIGHTEOUSNESS and immor-
atty and SOMETIMES II DOES NOT; that when it does
tt $ more the outcome than the CAUSE of the lccntious tendencies
of the period; that increase of divorce is not necessarily a symptom of
degeneracy, but may be the result of the changing condition in the
evolution Of society and the progress Of civilization; that divorce has
largely increased in Europe during the last half century, but much
moro rapidly in this country that the chief causes Of this were Q) the
evolution Of the individual AND OF WOMAN to a position Of
equality and independence, and () the breaking away from the dogma
as to the indisoubilty of marriage.
-. iF|r =
1t must be remembered that laws cannot change human nature,
reform bad husbands or make good wives, legiaate morality into Grim
inals or good tendencies into brutcs, and it is chiefly through the inAu-
ence of education, moral discipline, RELIGIOUS TRAINING and
the higher civilization that we must look for such an evolution in the
character of humanity as will eventually make marriage come in time
to be in fact what it is in theory-"For better for worse, for richer
for poorer, in sickness and in health, till death do us part"

Is
Good
That. Is
lunar"
By
Rev.
WAGNER,
Author of THE
Simple Life"

F one and all I demand that they be men, and in morality a
single criterion appears to me admissible. 1t is this: All
is good that is human-largely, simply, faithfully human.
ALL is EVIL THAT is HUN
Human life is placed in conditions which no one, either
believer " atheist, can touch with IMMUNITY. The serious apprecia-
ton Of these conditions inspires Is with the MORAL SENTIMENT
par excellence-respect. Perfect is also the radical form Of authentic
religious sentiment. Both can be included in the word pnty, if we
preserve to this term its old meaning, such as W e still find in flal piety.
What can religion do to maintain and cultivate this piety in order to
render it fertile in results truly profitable to humanity? THIS DE-
PENDS ON ITS QUALITY. The more healthy human religion
will be, the more nearly will it also approach the divine will, which is
THAT WE BE MEN. Old Froebel, who understood the spirit Of
things, said: "f you will realize that which is basically and anthem
tcaHy human, you will then be capable of understanding the divine"
Man acts according to that which he believes. IT is MPOSSI-
BILE FOR HIM TO ACT OTHERWISE. The contradictions be-
tween our convictions and our acts proceed from this, that at bottom
we do not believe what we profess to believe. And here believers and
unbelievers meet the same necessity Of making the most loyal confes-
sions. One fact dominates this entire question: Too many believers
are unfaithful to their God; too many free thinkers are unfaithful TO
THEIR REASON.
For a religious man God is everywhere that he meets a little Of
truth, of good will, Of sincere brotherlincss and of thirst for Justice.
