ERROR MAY MEAN FORTUNE
Clerks Mistake Invalidates Foreelos'
ure On Railroad.

New York. April 27.-The error CT
a law clerk many years ago may mean
a fortune to Russell Sage Raphael and
his mothers and sisters.
Many years ago Nathan Raphael, a
close friend of Russell Sage. pur-
chased $3.50. 900 worth of second mort
gage bonds of the Wasatch & Jordan
Valley Railroad company, which own
ed a line in Utah The interest on the
bonds of the road defaulted. and the
first mortgage was foreclosed cuttiI
out the holders of the second mortgage
securities. Nathan Raphael spent a
large part Of his fortune trying to re-
cover from the railway. but was I'M
successful. Worry caused his death.
A short time ago Russell Sage Ra-
phael. a son of Nathan Raphael began
suit in the federal court on the bonds
and secured a judgment for S1,6SO,76S,
including interest This judgment has
been returned by the sheriff as unsat-
isAed and was filed in court.
While working up this case Mr. Ra-
phael's lawyers discovered that when
the first mortgage was foreclosed the
holders of the second mortgage, prob
ably by a clerks error, were not made
parties to the suit. This. it is claimed,
invalidates the foreclosure proceed
ings.
The old railroad property, which
now belongs to the Denver, Rio Grande
& Western, is said to be worth about
$40 600. 600. The second mortgage
bonds issued by the original road
amounted to 100000.

Elephants Tooth Drawn by Mules

Two mules did some effective dentistry
in the mouth of Brazil, an elephant, on
the railroad line to Columbus, four miles
from this city, this morning. The mules
were called in after a regularly qualified
dentist, assisted by veterinarian and two
circus hands, had signally failed to relieve
the elephant of severe attack of tooth
ache.
Brazil stands 12 feet high and is the
prize pachyderm Of circus. The show
was on the way from this city to Columbus
when Brazil began to thrash around her
car. One side of the car. was shattered
before the fury of the elephant was dis
covered and the train brought to stand
still.
A diagnosis was quickly and easily
made. When the keeper approached
Brazil threw up her trunk and opened her
mouth, and the man, slipping his head in
to the opening, saw big cavity in tooth.
Brazil was roped and thrown on her side.
A dentist from nearby town volunteered
to pull the tooth, and the circus folk went
into kinks while he tried his hand with his
own little instruments. The circus veter-
marian then brought forth huge pair of
forceps, and two men laid hold Of each
handle. The tooth stuck fast, and the
men were in despair, when an unlocking
farmer remarked he had pair Of ''hefty
mules
'Where are they ?" asked the veterin,
arian, and the farmer pointed to team
of promising looking long cared bays in
the road. Forthwith work began for the
great operation. Stakes were driven into
the ground to brace the elephants head.
A block and tackle were attached to the
giant forceps, and when the veterinarian
shouted "All ready p the farmer said
"Get up p There was terrific straining
for few minutes; then the mules STUN
bled forward as the tooth suddenly came
forth. Brazil wore subdued, but con-
tented, look after the operation and went
| quietly back to her car.

Painted His Own Fence.

Louis Weis, who recently built a home
in Virginia Place, East St. Louis, is willing
to acknowledge that there are few things
professional can do better than an amateur
One of them is painting fence. The next
time Mr.. Weis has any billboard decorating
to do he will hire a man. 1t happened this
way:
Last Monday night Mr.. Weis had little
spare time on his hands. The back fence
was in need of kalsomine, and after pur-
chasing can of paint for 81 and brush
for 30 cents he started in to do the job.
1t was then about 7 O clock, and Mr., Weis
remarked to his better half that he would
have the 25 feet of boarding properly dyed
in ''about three shakes of a slleep's tail. "
The sun went down and the supper hour
passed, but Mr.. Weis went on painting.
1t was too early for the moon to rise and,
as it seemed necessary to complete the job,
Mrs. Weis offered to hold lamp while
Mr.. Weis painted.
The neighbors, attracted by the unusual
scene, went over to investigate, thinking,
perhaps, burglars were at work. Most of
them remained to criticise, extol OR offer
suggestions. Mr.. Weis went ON painting.
At midnight the job was finished, and Mr..
Weis took an inventory. He found that
he had ruined one $25 suit Of clothes and
one $40 dress belonging to Mrs Weis, net
to mention damage suffered by bis temper.
A painter who viewed the job next morning
said it would have cost about So to do it
right. s afs .Ssa re

Geese Are Paying Stock.

Geese can be raised at low cost on the
farm, and it is matter of surprise to me
that more farmers do not keep them.
Breeding geese can be pastured like cattle
and will forage their own living six months
in the year, the cost of the grass con-
sumed being the only expense, but they
should be fed through the laying and
breeding season, and at that time will eat
lots of grain.
1t is profitable bird where there is
plenty of room and pasturage. Geese are
coarse eaters and will eat almost any kind
of refuse-grass, weeds and waste vegeta-
bles from the garden. With dry place
at night they will thrive in low situation
surrounded by marshy ground and not
suitable for other poultry. They do not
mind cold weather and an open shed is
sufficient protection. Fencing is not ex-
pensive, as they will not cross any kind Of
poultry fence over two feet high. They
are not subject to disease and insect pests
like chickens and turkeys.
prefer the pure-bred Toulouse breed,
which when fat will weigh from 18 to 25
pounds, and are suitable for a class of
trade that demands large fat goose and
will pay good price. The White China
breed is stylish goose, with pure white
plumage, yellow beaks and legs, and they
are better layers than the Toulouse, but
light weight. Do not buy eggs from
young, immature geese Breeding stocks
should be 2 years old. Females are profit
able up to 10 to Is. males, 6 to Z years.
Mate three geese to one gander. During
the breeding and laying season we feed a
soft food, one part cornmeal, two parts
bran and one-tenth beef scraps, moistened
with water or milk. When there is no
pasturage we feed great deal of cut
clover, scalded the night before, and left
in covered box until morning, and then
mixed with the grain feed.
Some of the geese begin to lay in Janu-
ary, but the laying season is at its height
in early spring. We make nests in boxes
or barrels in -of-the-way places and the
geese will take possession, but in cold
weather the eggs must be taken away as
fast as laid in order to prevent freezing,
leaving nest egg. Geese can be broken
up from sitting and started to laying again.
The eggs can be successfully hatched in
incubatOrs
