GEESE KILLED IN FLIGHT.
Whole Floeks OF Wiia Fowl some
times Meet with Death IN
Winter Storms.

The large blackheaded goose Is a
strong. hardy bird. generally remaiu-
ing on It's own native water untl the
ice forms firmly. In the south Il is
only a visitor for the winter months.
Born on some lake beyond the north
ern watershed. or perhaps on some in
let In Hudson bay or the Arctic ocean.
It's heart is ever loyal to the land OF
It's birth.
Sometimes, when the cold weather
sets In late up north. as In all proba-
hility II has this year the wild geese
suffer from their devotion to their na-
tive place. They may at this late sea-
son fly right into a streak Of real win
ter, with driving snow 70 blind their
vision and bitter frost TO halt their
fight.
II there Is storm their way leads
right through Il, until the leaders eyes
are closed by the freezing Of the snow
about the head or its feathers become
too heavily weighted. When the sight
has gone and the birds are wearled Il
is easy to sec how misleading Is much
OF the talk about the leadings Of an
extra sense. Like a ship without a
rudder the V-shaped flock will mako
for and pull up In most dangerous and
III suited places.
Once a flock came tumbling into the
street OF an eastern townships viii
lsge. where the half blinded things be-
came the easy prey Of the boys and
dogs of the place.
In another place a farmer CHANGED
one spring to find the frozen carcasse5
OF more than 30 fine geese In a drift
In one of the fence corners. The birds
had evidently come to earth In some
binding storm and, imagining they
we're nearing water, found instead the
hard. snow covered ground.
There are several instances recorded
of focks OF geese In a storm running
full tilt into the ends or sides OF farm
buildings. A large brood few at full
speed against the rigging Of the whal-
ing steamer Dart recently of the New
foundland coast A damp, snow-laden
wind was blowing at the time, and IL
dead or dying geese fiuttered on to the
deck. the others alightfng in a half
dead condition upon the waves.
A more pleasing story is Of domes-
tic geese in a large, well-appointed
farmyaro haiEng a passing drove OF
% black bills. The strangers came
down and followed their tame rela-
tives into the stable, where they have
since stayed.

SUBWAY HURTS Cables.
Theater Trade That Once Went to
New York Jehus Now
Goes 70 Cars.

YOU'D never guess the difference the
subway has made in our business, - said
the oldtime night cab driver. according
to the New York Sun. Il should say tha,
night fares from the theater district and
Broadway have fallen on one-fourth
since last December
1T used TO be that a man in evening
clothes, especially If accompanied by q
woman wearing garments easily soiled,
would hesitate before crowding into a
surface car. As;or walking from Broad
way 10 one Of the elevated roads, that
was almost out OF the question. The re-
suit was that the great majority Of thea
ter and opera patrons who could raise
the price went home in carriages.
Now it's different, After the theater
the crowds walk TO the restaurants for
lunch, then they drift along to the sub
way entrance at Forty-second street and
Broadway or az the Grand Central
men and women who would scorn
the elevated or surface cars when in
evening dress do not balk at the subway.
They find the stations and cars generally
clean and roomy, and when they get up
town where there is no one TO see them
they do not mind walking a few blocks
10 save a cab fare
"Our greatest loss is in Brooklyn pa.
irons. It used to be almost a sure
thing that we'd get bunch of Brooklyn
people down as far as the Bridge at least.
Then the Brooklyn people had 20 take
a crosstown car or walk half way across
the town at one end OF the other to get
an elevated train.
Now the subway takes them right to
the Bridge entrance. Why, now one can
go from Forty-second street clear to the
outskirts of Brooklyn without going
from under shelter II the weather IS bad.
IT'S going to be still worse for US
when they get the subway running I'M

How to Win in Life.

The traits which make for success
are dehnitenpss of aim, clearness of
view, tenacity of purpose, the power Of
concentration and the faculty, which
with some men appears TO be a kind
of sixth sense, of quickly apprehending
and promptly grasping the main
chance. Defniteness OF aim is the first
essential. There are thousands. yes,
millions Of people who go through life
without any definite aim whatever.
They live from day to day. content if
they are able as they go along to salts
~ their daily necessities. These peo-
pie, remarks the Philadelphia Inquirer,
play their part in the progress Of civ
ilization, which requires the cOopera-
ton of all, and they may themselves
enjoy a fair share Of happiness, but
success in any considerable measure is
not for such. The man who gets
there, TO use the current and convent
ent slang, is he who starts with the
purpose of arriving at some predeter-
mined goal; not the one who wanders
along any road be may chance to strike
without knowing OF much caring where
1t is going to lead him. But It is not
enough to plan; one must also execute,
and il is here that the obstacles are en-
countered which so many fail TO over
come. The purpose once formed must
be maintained. in spite of occasional or
even repeated failures. and although
the ambitious striver may seem not to
be getting forward he must not relax
his efforts or allow himself to become
discouraged. He must still keep push
ing along. He must cultivate a little
philosophy for his comfort and assist
ance and remember that his experience
is not exceptional. 10 is the regular
thing. Only very few, having set their
purpose high. reach the goal of their
expectations at a single bound. Rome
was not built in a day. Concentration
of effort is another very valuable If not
Indispensable quality. Many men Of
ability and deserving fritter their tall
ents away through the multiplicity Of
their undertakings. It is by much the
best to devote ones energies and pow
ers to the achievement OF a single OBJ
ject and having made the choice Of
what is most desirable, to sacrifice the
rest. Distractions are always detri-
mental and sometimes fatal. When
Atalanta turned aside to run after the
golden apples Milanion threw she lost
the race. The ability to appreciate an
Offering opportunity and the courage to
grasp it when to do 90 involves some
risk is another characteristic usually
found in the preemeinently successful.
He who is content TO stand on a lower
rung of the ladder will never reach the
top nor will he go far who fears to
climb.
