Pennsylvania Judge Finally Decides
That Goose Must Be Cooked and
Divided Between Two Women.

the ownership of a goose was settled
the other day by Aid. John F. Dono-
hue. who is famous locally for his

suits.
Mrs. Alice Kreiger of Shickshinny
charged Mrs. Louis Pelinus with the
theft OF a goose. Each woman claimed
the goose had belonged to her ever
since it was Matched, and the evidence
on both sides was of equal weight.
Well" said the alderman, after puz-
cling over the case, there is but one
way to settle it. Each Of you women
will go home. will get your flock and
each bring one here. Then you will
place the ganders on opposite sides
of the courtroom and the goose in
the middle and let her choose to which
flock she belongs.
"Of course" he added. there is the
danger of her being a flirt."
The women objected to this plan
because 1t involved an outlay in rail-
road fare of more than the value Of
the goose.
Then" declared the alderman, "the
defendant Is sentenced to take the
goose home. kill 1t. divide 1t exactly In
half. and give one halt to the prose-
cutrix."
