 ''So 1t Is. but it will not ,on. main so. There's man down street who keeps geese by the so. us and I propose to drop down and s h.' little talk with him.

 "Td let the goose part of it ro i,, were you," said Mrs. Bowser, feelina trouble in the air all of sudden But there is the foundation of :, whole question, you see. Does tho goose change with the seasons? If she does, then why not all other livns things, man included? If she changs 5 what are the changes? I'll be back y1 an hour and tell you all about it. a1 } may think best to sit up the resi- the night and write an article Jeayn, with the question"
 When Mir. Bowser left the house ho headed straight for the goosery. Tho fire engines crossed his path, but thev could not tempt him aside There was free for all fight among lot of long. shoremen, but he refused to halt. tramp wanted him to stop and argue on the amount of food a man could live on for week, but he was brushed aside. The goose man was in his goos cry, as 1t behooved him to be- and within five minutes of his arrival Mir Bowser had stated his case Did goose change with the season? Under the head of goose he included gander as we'll The promptness of the goose man was rather surprising.
 "If you will send for a pail of beer. sir, we'll talk" he said, and hs little son soon returned with two quart pail frothing over. He took it that Mr. Bowser was a strictly temperate man and offered him none of the contents.
 Do goose change with the sea sonsT' he repeated after imbibing half the contents of the pail without draw. ing breath. Il answer you that he do, sir We will begin with spring In the spring ha is lsmbike and wouls not hurt a t.,-. He sits and wa,e3 love songs anl makes googoo eyes at his mates. lie takes long walks n the moonlight and can be heard to sigh ten rods off. y
 "You astoaish mel ezc,a.mes Mr. Bowser.
 "Yes, sir, and the pail is empty, and as soon as more beer arrives we will take up summer. Dan, the gentleman is handing you 10 cents for more beer,
 When the pail came back and had been duly looked into, the goose man continued:
 "When spring runs into summer the goose gets cranky. He drops poetry and love and moonlight and won't take a word from nobody. He becomes morbid. He reasons that all the world is agin him, and 1t is then that he attacks and devours young children If you have a young and innocent child, sir, let 1t beware of the summer goose"
 "Nonsense! 1 have heard of goose chasing person, but as for inflict ing
 "You are talking to man who has lived his life among them, sir. If you were to hand Danny another 10 cents he would get another pail of beer, and we would pass on to the fall season.
 MT. Bowser hesitated, but finally handed out the money, and four or five minutes later the goose man, refreshed and in good spirits, was saying:
 September has hardly come, sir when the goose begins to show dis position to make a ass of hisself. He wants hair remover for his bald head though he knows that it won't renew He bosses and bulldozes and thinks he's devil of fellow, and the only way to tame him down.
 What are you driving at!" sharply demanded MT. Bowser as he rose up.
 Danny" said the goose man to his son. "the gentleman will hand you l( cents to get pail of beer."
 .The gentleman will do nothing oi the kind" replied Mr. Bowser
 "Then the gentleman, as Is no gen tleman, won't get no more goose in formation here and can go to Texas.
 When Mir. Bowser reached home hl entered very quietly and had reached the sitting room and dropped into his chair when Mrs. Bowser asked:
 Well, does goose change with the season?''
 "As you have been one all your life you ought to know" he meanly an swered as he picked up his newspaper and refused to answer another word.
