One OF the saddest deaths that ever
occurred in Betzville took place last
Friday at D. M, and Ezra Claggin
is almost broken hearted. For rs years
of his married life Ezra slept on a
corn.husk mattress, and by the end
OF the twenty-ninth year the corn
husks were so matted down that few
corncobs that had been put In by mis-
take sort of poked through and made
stone-bruises on his back, and his
wife, Fluenza, who was good old
soul, swore that Ezra shouldn't sleep
that way for another 20 years, so she
went over to the store and traded IS
yards of dried apples for a live goose.
She did this unbeknownst to Ezra.
meaning to surprise him with good
feather bed inside OF eight or ten
years, according what kind of feather
crops the goose grew, but when she
took the goose out TO the woodshed to
pluck out the first crop of feathers the
goose looked up into her eyes so soul
fully, and squawked so pitifully that
Fluenza hadn't the heart to pluck. So
she just plucked one small feather, as
sort of warning of what the goose
had to expect when she could get her
courage up. and took that feather into
the house and hid 1t In the garnet.
The next day she thought maybe
she could harden her heart, and she
went out to the woodshed and inter
viewed the goose again, but 1t was no
use, she couldn't bear II. so she just
picked another feather to show what
was coming to the goose some day,
and went into the house and hid that
feather in the garnet.
So when the next day came she
made up her mind that she was fool
ishly tender-hearted, and she went out
to the woodshed again, but when she

came waddling up to her. and. when
she looked down. there was the goose,
and there was feather in the goose's
bill, and the dear intelligent bird was
oraning its neck to reach the feather
up to Fluenzas hand. Well, II was so
touching that Fluenza just sat right
down on the soap kettle and clasped
the goose to her bosom and wept
And there they sat, tears running out
Of F1uenza's eyes, and tears running
ut of the gooses eyes.
Ii was white goose with gray
markings. and every day after that
the goose would waddle up to the
kitchen door with one OF its feathers

Fiuenza would kiss the goose, and
take the feather up into the garnet

to look at Il that way He turned to
the goose and spoke to II quite sharp

him with sad, patient eyes and stood
right where II was, but on the other
foot from the one II had been standing
on. So Ezra said he saw plain enough
that he couldn't mourn In peace there,

that 1t had extremely acute rhepma-
