Anew YORK.-The fowl house of
" the Central park o was scandal
lied one day recently when some sharp
eyed tattlers noticed the simultaneous
disappearance of Clara. one OF the
young wild gray geese recently given
to the ZOO. and Brigham Young. the
little Black Spanish game rooster
whose wild ways nave deprived him of
the countenance of the best classes in
the fowl house.
1t came out that Brigham Young and
Clara were out in the park together.
Chief Keeper Snyder. who went on
their trail as soon as he heard about
their disappearance. got wind OF them
near the alligator pool. A black wing
feather by the eagle cages also
showed hat B. Young had been there.
He had lost the feather trying to con
verse with a South American condor.
Then he went on up the path, walk
ing in a manner that said that he
thought himself a pretty fine fellow,
The little wild gray goose seemed to
be extremely proud of him.
1t was about here that the little gray
goose felt such a thrill of freedom and
life that she quacked in her coarse, un
cultured voice, and abruptly left the
earth for a fight in the air.

The dire news reached the hostess

Mrs. G. Gregory Feckenstein. Mrs.

Stevenson's Grandson Finds Treasure

The lad stopped digging because his
shovel had encountered an obstruc-
ton. Tested carefully the thing that
resisted proved to be metal. Then
Louis dug f~uriously than ever.
In q few moments he ~unearthed a
metal box. And. sure enough, It CON
tanned treasure. Opening 1t hastily.
the boy found 1900 shares Of valuable
stock. deeds to city property. other
valuable papers and several empty
ring boxes.
OF course. the boy did not realize
the value Of the property. but he knew
the papers must be, worth q great deal
or they would not have been placed
in such a secure box. So he hastily
carried his find to his mother. who
turned the property over to the police
The papers belong to Augustus Inn

closed and who is out OF the city. The
police think robbers ransacked the

money and jewelry from the box

An Arm Of the Sea.

Il wonder" said Mr.. Goslington.
how 1t came to be called an arm?
| have just received a booklet describ-
ing a lovely place on salt water where
am inclined to think I'll go, a place
that pleases my fancy; and this place
Is situated on an arm of the sea-
Why do o suppose they start
ed calling an inlet or an estuary. an
extended bay. an arm, of the sea
Why did they moi call this sort of deep
indentation. instead of an arm "a leg OF
the sea-?
That really seems to me very
queer; but don't suppose it makes
any practical difference, l dare say
we shall be just as well satisfied with
this place on an arm of the sea as w
would have been If it had been 10

Of canned condensed milk, at high prices. as well

While still more could doubtless be planted, and
the further fact that fine vegetables In remark

UnIoue Old French Village.

Lying so much off the beaten track,
the village of Port Lesne in the Jura
department Of France is visited by
but few from the outside world, and
consequently this tiny community OF
men and women of color is but little
known. 1t is not large village, for
it's inhabitants number but little more
than a hundred, but every one is
either black, or of copper color or
palish yellow. It owes its origin to
the fact that about a century ago the
famous negro chief, Toussaint-L'Ouv-
erture, was brought from Hayti and
imprisoned in Fort de Joux. Many
of his friends, all negroes, followed
him and encamped near his prison
on the bank of the little river Loue.
From that encampment grew the vii
lage Of Port Lesne, and when Tous-
saint-L' Ouverture died more than a
hundred years ago his friends decided
to remain In France. The passing Of
years and intermarriages have trans
formed the settlement into a French
village of colored folk, all of whom
have the vote. Port Lesne is thus
probably the most unique spot in all
France.
