A WISE GANDER.
Raps on Window When He Wants
to Be Fed.

w 80 49,
Clinton, March 16.-Henry Ste
VEINS of Clinton has among his poul-
try wise young gander called Dick.
The behavior of this gander has so
much intelligence In it that one Ia
led to believe that it was wisdom
rather than fright that induced the
sacred geese in Juno's temple at
Rome to cackle at the approach OF
the Gauls.
When the gander is hungry he
walks up to the kitchen door and
raps on it with his bill II this fails
to bring anyone with the desired
morsel he goes up an outside cellar
door, where he can look in the
kitchen window, and raps on pane.
At night, if his pen is not open for
him at the time he wishes to 60 TO
rest, he comes to the kitchen and
raps the same way that he does for
food.
The gander took care of a brood
of young chickens in the late fall
and brought them up successfully,
letting nothing approach them.
He is very fond Of having a race
with anyone of the family and will
run until he feels he is going to be
beaten and then he flies. The race
track chosen is path between the
house and his pen.
When he is let into the lot with
the chickens he proceeds to nerd all
the hens together. If any refractory
hen objects, the gander seizes her
by the neck and pushes her along.
The rooster in this yard sone-
times tries to defend himself against
the aggressiveness Of the gander,
but he always gets worsted and
finally submits to his authority.
Wild geese are proverbially know
ing, but the domestic goose has
hardly been considered a wise bird.
Almost everyone knows who has
watched the wild geese in their
spring and fall flights, how geomet-
really the wild flock flies in V shape
varying with a straight line. A
gander always flies some rods in adj
vance of the v shaped flock, while
other ganders have other places to
preserve the form of the fight. TO
one who stands watching fight of
geese against a gray sky, the SYM
metry and regularity of the forms
into which the flock shapes itself, as
it flies, is wonderfully interesting.
Now it is almost time to observe the
wild geese plying northward, and in
this locality they may be seen COM
ing directly across the Sound from
the south and their screams may be
distinctly heard. Possibly Stupid
goose" is the exception rather tnan
the rule.

POL-I'S
"GoING SOME.

College men should take an es-
pecial interest in the new comedy
"Going Some" by Paul Armstrong
author of "The Heir to the Hoorah,'
and "Salomy Jane" and Rex Beach,
author of THE Spoilers" as it deals
with the adventures of two widely
known college types-the cheer
leader-and the glee club tenor 1t
will be seen at Polls this evening.
The cheer leader halls from big
eastern university and goes out
to spend summer on New
Mexico ranch. He is strong on wear
ing athletic toys but his participation
in athletics has been strictly limited
to wearing clothes and leading the
cheer at the big events. In order to
make hit with Smith college
girl, who is also summering at the
ranch and who thinks that athletes
are just the dearest things alive"
he poses as a champion Splinter. is
backed to win foot race by the COW
punchers and gets tangled up in a
snarl Of nerve racking situations.
The way in which he won the foot
race is shown in the last act of the
play. When it is mentioned that
George Marion, who staged THE Col
lege Widow" and THE Merry
Widow has staged Going Some" it
will be realized that the foot race
scene is a wonderful stage picture.
Mr. Marion himself believes that he
has created more striking effect
than the famous football scene in
THE College Widow" The glee club
tenor halls from Leland Stanford
university. He sings beautifully but
he can't even wear athletic toys, and
lie is extremely jealous Of the cheer
leader His favorite pastime is tell
ing about how the daughter of the
mayor of Walla Walla enjoyed his
singing of ''Dearie.' Prices 25c to
