GOOSE FIGHTS FOR ITS owNEa.
Follows Master Through Crowded
Streets Of Washington.

Washington.-A large Chinese goose
was seen wandering along Pennsyl-
vania avenue and up Fourteenth
street few nights ago, apparently
following its own inclinations in TAX,
ing stroll. Its owner was near, but
no sign of his presence was given un.
til one friend greeted another by plac.
ing his hands on his shoulders At
this movement the goose suddenly
darted forward in defense Of the man
thus approached.
He is A. A. Bibb, of 302 Tenth
street northwest, and DOC" is the
name Of the bird DOC" is his mas.
ter's pet. He came to Washington
about eight months ago fl. a crate
filed with geese, and as soon as Mr..
Bibb saw him he was chosen for q
career that does not usually fall to
the lot of his kind But doc" did not
realize the honors in store for him. Az
soon as released, he few away, soar
ing over the tops of buildings until he
was lost to sight. He was recaptured
near the Smithsonian grounds and re-
tui HSu W Ills OWHeT. his WlHSS WeT0
clipped, and there were no more at.
tempts to escape. Docs" longing for
liberty apparently disappeared with
his means to enjoy II, and he has now
taken on many of the habits Of .
Washingtonian.
DOC" is fine looking, swan.like
bird and weighs about 20 pounds. Al
most every afternoon, vixen the side
walks are COOL Doc Is taken out
for a stroll. He usually keeps in
front Of Mr.. Bibb. and picks his way
through the biggest OF crowds with
apparently no fear OF becoming lost
or trampled upon. II his owner be.
comes lost from sight, even for mo-
ment, Doc" begins an unearthly yell.
and continues until Mr.. Bibb hurries
within view. N-Nt Y
zone of the peculiarities of the
goose is that he, although friendly to
most men, does not like women, and
is continually making some sympa-
thetic cir! fee when in his neighbor-
hood.

TRAMP PROVES A HERO.
Loses Sandwich, Rescues Boys, Gets
SO and a Suit of Clothes.

Centerville, N. J.-Certainly hero.
ism is measured by the sacrifice the
hero willingly makes. So what greater
hero than a tramp who dropped a
sandwich he was eating and took o
bath to save two boys from drowning.
John Phelps, farmer near here, the
boys grateful father, offered the
tramp a good home and good wages
as farm hand.
Anything" said the tramp, shud-
dering, anything but work"
William Phelps, 13 years. and
Charles. II. went swimming in basin
of the Morris canal near their home.
Charles dived, struck his head on a
sunken canal boat. and floated. nearly
senseless. William Jumped to his res.
cue Charles seized the brother and
struggle as he might, William could
not free himself. The brothers were
sinking the second time when around
bend of the road Jumped the hero
hobo. He was devouring a sandwich
farmers wife had just given him
and wondering, probably, where his
next meal was coming from.
"Dusty Roads saw the brothers
writhing and choking in the water
The sandwich fell in the dust, and
without as much as throwing of his
ragged coat, the. tramp ran to the
canal. jumped in, and dragged the
boys ashore. Mr.. Phelps gave Weary
Willie" ten dollars, suit of clothes, q
hat, and pair of shoes.
where are you going?" asked Mrs
Phelps, pityingly, as the tramp took
up his journey.
Nowhere" said he. dreamily.

CANADA WANTS CLEAN MONEY.
Careless Habits Across the Border Have Bred DisagreeabIe Conditions.


 Have Bred Disagrceable Conditions.
 Canada is now more than ready for clean currency. The dirty bills and defaced coins which are circu- lating among the people of the country add no credit to the good name of the Dominion. If sanitary conditions do not suggest something better then pride of country should +rfse to the occasion.
 Canada has probably the most dis reputable medium of exchange of any nation which pretends to civiliz- ation. In this the government itself is the chief offender and has been during the changing administrations since confederation. Dominion dol lar and two dollar notes are permit ted to circulate until they reek with dirt and scarcely conform in size to the newer notes with which they are counted from time to time.
 It is where silver is used in great est quantities, however, that the de- bauching of the currency is most noticeable. Plugged half dollars, i fiattened dimes, worn quarters and crumpled five-cent pieces are show ed on in the channels of business. The church collection plates and | street railway boxes have become receptacles for much of the smallest of it. The plugged half dollar given in change by one street car conduc- tor to passenger is refused on an- i other car.
 So long as defaced money was &C., cepted freely 1t caused no incon- yenience, no loss or embarrassment. It was simply unsightly. In the larger centers all this is changing. People will not accept defaced mon- l ey-if they know 1t. It is a positive handicap to business and a constant | far to the self respect of the man who tries to pass 1t along. In the meantime there is laxity at many oi the gateways to tourist travel from the south.
 This results in the infusion of a great amount Of United States cur rency into Canadian trade channels which may or may not be objection able according to the point of view but which also brings along de Iuge of defaced United States coin ! and this cannot be circulated south ] of the line.
 . IL is the business of the banks and : the government to purge the cur } rency.
 ; The design of Canada's silver ; money is commonplace. It lacks . distinctiveness and 1t is wanting ir Canadian sentiment. There Is plen , ty of material upon which to base ! design which means more and looki better than the present issue. Ths . beaver. maple leaf. the shield of ths ], provinces, the flag and many othei ? things might be made 10 play par ? in a new design.-Toronto World

THE TELEPHONE SERVICE.
Company Will Furnish Single Wire
 at Old Party Wire Rate.

With the object of bringing about a general improvement In service conditions, the Southern New Eng land Telephone company has plan ned to place in effect on October l in the cities of Bridgeport, Hartford, New Haven and Waterbury, certain adjustments of it's residence rates which it is believed, will lead to a more general adoption of single or individual lines by subscribers and thereby tend to eliminate the exist ing delays resulting from the large usage of party line service.
 In substance, the company's plan contemplates the provision of single line domestic service in these four cities at the rate of $36 per annum. This rate will be applied to those existing subscribers who are at present paying net charges of $40 per annum in Waterbury and s4S per annum in Bridgeport, Hartford and New Haven for a strictly do- mestic single line service and will be offered to new subscribers de- string such service. The two-party line service at present furnished in Bridgeport, Hartford and New Ha- ven at the rate of $36 per annum will be discontinued, and the exist ing subscribers to domestic service at that rate will be provided with single lines, at the same rate.
 The Telephone company has had these adjustments under considera- ton for some time in connection with its continued efforts to i'm. prove the service. In Connecticut as elsewhere in the east, the ten dency of subscribers has been to elect the cheaper and, therefore necessarily lower grades of service while. on the other hand, the traf. fic or usage per telephone has tend ed to increase. These tendencies have unavoidably resulted in annoy ing delays to subscribers in the ust of their own service, and in frequent inability to obtain immediately tho desired connections with subscrib' CTS on other party lines. It Is eEi dent that this condition can be eliminated only by the adoption o adequate telephone facilities on tho part of subscribers: therefore. while | the company will continue 10 offel it's existing rates, ranging as low al s25 per annum for party. line do nestle service, the adjustments out lined above will be made with thu intent of lending all possible en couragement to a general use of in dividusI lines at the rate of.s36 pel annum.
 This action is in line with thu avoved policy of the company t' place a high standard upon it's ser vice and. it will be recalled, con | forms to the ideas expressed in 10 last annual report which laid spe eiaI stress upon the desirability Q encouraging the use of the highe
 grades of service by subscribers
