hunting on the south Canadian jackson

Immediately started running across q
wheat field. Jackson caught tho goose
alive after il had become entangled In q
wire fence.
This goose was brought to Oklahoma
City and was made a pet by Moulton.
For two days the goose hid under bench
in Moulton's shop and fought every
friendly overture. Moulton brought a
tuh Of water into the shop and leased
Mr.. Goose by splashing the water. The
goose. now named Jojo. straightened his
neck and looked longingly at tho water.
He was left alone and when sIoulton re-
turned Jojo was in the tub splashing water
in all directions. His crippled wing was
amputated to relieve him Of pain. making
II impossible for him 10 escape by flight.
Jojo grew more tractable day 10y day

Moulton beguiled Jojo into kind of
vaudeville performance in which Jojo
appeared 20 kiss his keeper. This trick
delighted spectators and carried the
fame Of Jojo far and near in the COM

Jojo always mistook for a grain Of yellow

Moulton would call to Jojo and the

LIVE WILD GEESE As DECOYs
Hunting IN an Odd way In Hyde County.

If there is another region within any

CITY CLERK
 BOUCHER TALKS
 TO B. H. s. CLASS

''How a public improvement is car ried out,' was the topic of a lecture on Municipal Government" to 250 students and the, teachers of the High School by City Clerk Stephen F. Boucher, yesterday afternoon. The talk had been arranged principally for the class in civ.l government and its importance as a feature of prac- tical education made the talk one that was of interest to the school at large. The entire student body was given the opportunity to hear it. MT. Boucher talked for 30 minutes.
 He told how a petition for an im- provement is received and how leg islation travels through various branches of the government until the improvement is inspected and paid for. He explained the difference be- tween the two tax districts of the city and the duties of the various districts of the city and the duties of the various c'ty officials and how they were elected or appointed. The talk was most interesting to the stu dents who made notes. The members of the class in civil government made notes on the talk and it will be subsequently, discussed at a reel tation of the class. It is the inten- tion of the class to have other city officials address them.

PADDOCK WILL
 NOT RESIGN Will Stick to Harbor Con- mittee and Call Meetings for City Hall Just the
 Same Harbor Masters Office Is Ccnstructively Part of City Hall, Says Meyer,a Books and Papers Are There.

The Council committee on Harbor Improvements met last night in City Hall and voted to meet thereafter in the office of Harbor Master Charles H. Morris. in the Connecticut build ing.
 Alderman Garry Paddock. Senator elect from the 23d district. announced that because of this action he will re- sign from the committed. In explain ing his attitude Alderman Paddock said hat he believed that meetings should be more properly held in the City Hall. He continued:
 There is no party line in this at all. but I do think the i1arbor master has ignored me in matters. although want 1t unders .ood I have no personal feel word against him."
 Alderman Eugene I. Meyer. who made the motion to meet in the office of the harbor master. said that the reason for the ac ion of the commit tee is that all the maps and papers re- lating to the harbor are in the office Of the harbor master. and that the committee has been grea ly inconven- fenced in it's discussion of harbor im- provements by not having the papers on the spot
 The committee voted to ask the Board of Anportionment and Taxation for money for new dock at the city yard. Alderman Paddock was named a committee to get estimates upon the cost of the work.
 ing: ''I have decided not to resign from the committee. I find by con sulting the charter that the power 10 call the meetings of the committee IS vested in the chairman. I shall remain on the committee and call the meetings for City hall. The harbor master is paid servant of this city He can bring the books and maps we require to the City hal1.''
 Alderman Meyer said this morning. 'I am glad that Alderman Paddock has reconsidered his determination to resign from the committee. If he will consider little longer he will see how much wiser is the action of the committee than his own desire The city rents an office for the harb3 3r master, heats it. lights it and equips 1 with maps, papers and parapherna- lia. That office is constructivsly a part of Citv hell It might be locar- ed In City hall, if there was room. The Park commissioners meet where their recorls, books and papers are. The Library trustees meet in their quar- terSf for the same reason.
 "For more than a year, mafnl, to gratify Chairman Paddock the com- mittee has met at great inconven- fence, outside the office of the harbor master. If the committee always knew before going into meeting what maps. of papers it wanted, it would be simple enough to ask the harbor master to bring them in. But the committee usually does not know. If it meets where the maps and papers are, everything is at hand and the committee can dn it's business ex- peditiously and with understanding. Ordinarily the committee would give the highest consideration to Chair man Padddock's wishes. but when as a matter of mere pique and prejudice, he subjects us to serious inconven- fence he should not object if the wis.,, of the whole is consulted before his own.''

CONGRESS PLANS TO PASS CRAFT
 SHIP SUBSIDY
(By Clyde H. Tavenner Washington
 Correspondent.)

(By Clyde H. Tavenner. Washington
 Correspondent.)
 Washington, Dec. 1.-The Hum phrey ship subsidy bill, which pro- vides for an annual gift of $5,OOO, 900 from the treasury of the United States to millionaire private ship owners, is to be damned through this session of Congress at the special re- quest of President Taft.
 Ship subsid es are about as unpop- ular with the country generally as tariff revision upward. Yet the Re- publicans appear to be unafraid to place this additional class legislation upon the statute books.
 The stand-pat Republicans who were defeated for reelection have nothing to lose through voting for ship subsidy. The stand-pat Repub- cans who were reelected will vote for 1t to be consistent with past per- formances. Besides, Republicans by President Taft lay themselves open to the charge of traitor, for which hanging is too good for them" and in addition thereto may have their patronage taken away from
 The vote on the ship subsidy bill VII be close Several progressive Republicans will refuse to support the measure, the Presidents recommenda- tion and implied threat notwithstand- ing.
 The best that can be said for a shipping subsidy Is that it provides for the payment of pubic moneys di- rectly to big private interests on the assumption that the maritime com merce of the United States will in- crease and that the public VII then be able to get the donations back in- directly. But past experiments have proven that once the special interests get hold of the peoples money, the people have their own trouble get ting it back, either directly or indi- rectly.
 Although 1t is not generally known Uncle Sam now subsidies a few mall steamship lines. Our heaviest subsi- dized line is between New York and England. If 1t is true, as subsidists assert. that trade follows subsid es why is it that our exports to the Uni- ted Kingdom in the ten years between 1897 and 1907 increased but 9 per cent. while our exports to nine coun- tries to which We have no subs dized lines increased from 1O5 to 4,9O0 per cent?
 Our exports to the United Kinedom and countries to whi oh We have no subsidized lines, increased as follows between 1897 and 1907:
 United Kingdom .......... 25 per cent Turkey 4,900 per cent ....... 275 per cent E9ynt ................. 200 per cent

TALKED S1R.KE AND
 GET PAY INCREASES

Tn Hartford and Springfield where there was talk of strike of express drivers and handlers of merchandise during the Christmas rush. the help have received an increase in pay. Tn Hartford. Agent c. B. Hall of tho Adams Express Co. has ta.ed that the increases were granted to the old- est drivers and office men for efficient and faithful service. and had no ref ence to the approaching strike In Springfield the men received an in crease ranging from 8 to 10 per cent, and the money will be placed in the December envelopes.
 A the Bridgeport offices the men say there has been no strike talk. because there has been no organization of tho union here. One employe at the local office said this morning that if there is any dissatisfaction among the driv- ers here it has never been manifested.
