JERSEY GOOSE BAROMETER
FORETOLD COMING STORM

prides himself on his knowledge of
ducks and geese in general. They
both were late to Sunday dinner,
watching the antics of the Chinese
goose. 1t could only mean rain.
When, later, rain began to fall, the
feathered barometer commemorate swell
and swell. Her joy knew no bounds
certainly not those of the coop, for she
rose well in the air and, clearing the
wire around the coop, flew in the direc-
ton of Meadow Brook and settled on
the water.
By the aid of the telephone Mr..
Evans managed to reach one of his
friends at Little Falls, where the
Meadow Brook runs into the Passaic
river. The value of the goose was i'm
pressed on the friend, who awaited the
coming with a posse of Little Falls
citizens.
At last the goose 1oated down over
the falls and was corralled. After a
warm reception, at which several o.
the Little Falls citizens complimented
Mr.. Evans on his possession, the ba-
rometric goose went back to the hen
coop, over the top of which Mr.. Evans
will put some wire netting. He isn't
| going to lose the only living barometer
in the State of New Jersey. No, sir!
