him with sad, patient eyes and stood
right where it was, but on the other
foot from the one it had been standing
on. So Ezra said he saw plain enough
that he couldn't mourn in peace there,
and he got up and went away, and the
goose went right along with him. 1t
followed him all around the block, and
down Main street, faithfully holding
out the feather for Ezra to take, and
when Ezra couldn't stand it any lon
ger and went home and into the house
and locked the door, the goose just
stood on the door step with uplifted
feather. It stood there all night.
But 1t was just as faithful as ever.
and at daybreak it waddled out to the
woodshed and plucked another feath-
er, and when Ezra came out, there
was the goose with two feathers in it's
bill. Ezra saw he couldn't mourn in
peace on the soap kettle, and he had
reticcnce about wandering around
Betzville followed by goose with it's
bill full of feathers, so he just locked
himself into the house and stayed
there.
That night it was colder than ever,
and the goose mourned all night, and
il the morning it was plain that its
spirit was entirely broken, as we'll as
that it had extremely acute rheuma-
tisll In the feet. It waited outside un-
til 1890, and then it hobbled slowly
toward the woodshed, and when it was
nearl:s there it's attention was attracted
by noise next door. The noise was
Uncle Ashdod Clute wringing the
neck OF chicken. As soon as the
goose saw that, and how easy such a
death was, it made up it's mind, and it
reached up with one foot and grabbed
itself by the neck. 1t did it's best,
poor thing, but the rheumatism was so
bad it had NO strength in it's foot, and
it couldn't wiring it's own neck. Ezra
Claggin was up in the garnet moping
around, and he happened to look out
of the window md saw the goose, and
all he felt at the sight was pleasure
The goose saw Ezra, too, and gave
him one last @eproachful look, and
then stretched out its neck full length.
bent it around SO 1t could get q good
grip on it with its bill, held it fast,
and whirled its body around until it
had wrung it's head off,
At that very minute Ezra ran across
the little pile of feathers F1uenza had
been saving up, and all at once he un.
derstood everything, and he rushed
down to the yard, but too late! There
was the goose in one corner of the
yard, and its head in another, and in
its bill the two feathers, showing it
was faithful to the last. Ezra looked
at his watch and saw it was Just 4
p. M, and then he sat down on the
soap kettle and wept, and for every
three tears he shed for Fluenza he
shed one for the goose, regularly, oil
afternoon, until the sun set. and then
he went indoors and kept on shedding
until bed time in the same ratio,

It, is quite the smart thing now to
have four. to six crown bands of COL
ored ribbon to go with a white or
burnt straw hat. The woman who
does not want to bother with many
hats to match her linen frocks, and
cloth and tussor coat suits, could
carry out this method in an agreeable
manner. She could have a crown band
of black. one of brown, one to match
the color of her collar on her chev-
lot suit, and one Of morning glory pur-
pie because 1t is fashionable color.

1t is stated, on good authority, that
sonc Of the merchants in this county
are violating the law in reference to
selling pistol and rifle cartridges. The
law requires that licence of $500

violating this law is fine of not ex-

year, or both in the discretion of the
court. ~;
Some OF the merchants have paid
