William Yours Strong, a farmer neal
Caldwell, y. j., owns a goose which is
70 years old, he says, according to the
New York World.
William Yours, the man | was

Cherish her, Bill; be kind to her in her
old age, for she is almost like a sister

Yours kissed the goose good-by,"
Mr.. Strong added. Look at her; she
is as active as a gosling."
This was ~affectionate exaggeration.

Wild ostriches Grow Tame.

A group of six wild ostriches were
seen or the commonage on Saturday
afternoon. The huge birds were dis.
porting themselves on an ant heap
only a few yards from the road. The
little group seems to have made the
east end of the commonage and the
government reserve their home, and
are often to be met with.
So tame are they that on a person
approaching they simply get up from
the road, where they are often lying,
and walk a few yards on to the veldt
and gaze composedly at the passer by.
