HOUSE BOAT OF
NEW ORLEANS

VESSEL FROM CRESCENT CITY
BLOWN ASHORE DURING THE
STORM THURSDAY NIGHT MAY
PROVE A TOTAL LOSS.

The launch which was beached about
p mile and half west of Fort McRee
during the storm Of last Thursday
night is the yacht or houseboat May
of New Orleans, which was enroute
from that place to Pensacola with the
owner and his wife aboard, both of
whom left the vessel when she was
beached and escaped injury.
The owner Of the launch, according
to a report received from the life
saving station yesterday afternoon, will
not try to put it in commission again,
as it is believed that it has been dam
aged to such an extent that it will
pTove a total wreck.
EThe keeper Of the life saving sta
ton yesterday afternoon said that the
report sent out from Fort McRee that
three two-masted scnooners were
blown ashore on the gulf beach dur
ing the storm Of Thursday night was
groundless, as close search of the
gulf beach in both directions by the
crew on duty at the station resulted
in the discovery of no stranded sail
ing vessels.
Captain Sam Reed. OF the govern
ment steamer Morrison, sail last night
that he did not report on his arrival
at Fort McRee Thursday evening that
he saw three schooners stranded on
the gulf beach as a result of the
storm, as was stated in report sent
out by telephone from that place early
Thursday night.

VARIETIES OF GEESE, THEIR CARE AND
MANAGEMENT
BY DR.. Stanley A. Merkley.

raised being almost entirely different
from those necessary for successful duck
raising. The duck, being smaller, can
be raised in more limited space than
can the goose, the latter needing free
range and water, while the former has
been proved to do equally well without
water.
While the goose cannot proftably be
raised in as large numbers as the ducks,
still 1t cannot be justly termed unprot-
able. There are many places on a farm
that are worthless for cultivation that
could be utilized with excellent results
for goose rising. Fields that have
streams, branches, or unused springs on
them could be turned to good advantage
by making them into goose pastures.
Many farmers are prof1ting by this and
adding to their incomes annually. The
care and attention necessary for raising
geese are very small when compared
with the returns and the cost of food lis
also proportionately small in comparison
with the cost of food used for other
birds bred for market. A goose on range

other animal and vegetable matter to be

The simplest kinds of houses are used
for shelter; these should be built after
the plans Of those given for ducks, but
to accommodate comfortably the number
Of birds to be kept. Geese are long
lived birds, some having been knownI to
attain the age of 40 years, while birds 10
and 20 years of age are not uncommon.
They retain their laying and Matching
qualities through life. Gamblers should
not be kept for breeding after three years
of age; young ganders are more active
and insure greater fertility Of the eggs
than old ones do; besides, ganders be-
come more quarrelsome as age advances.
The feathers of geese are an important
source OF revenue and find ready sale

BEAR CAUGHT IN TRAP
SET FOR SANTA CLAUS

New Orleans, Jan. A big black
bear caught in a trap set in chimney
by little boy to trap Santa Claus was
the story brought from the wilds of
lower Louisiana last night by c. ].
Labarre, returning from a two weeks
hunting expedition. Mr.. Labarre said
he hunted during Christmas with Cleo
fas Bertlot, a trapper and used the lat
ter's camp. Noticing q half dozen
shark hooks hanging in the chimney
of the cabin, Labarre said he called his
hosts attention to the fact that they
were placed rather high to hang cook
ing utensils on them.
"Oh, that's trap my little boy fixed
up to catch Santa Claus" replied Bert
lot, who said his son had been listen
ing closely to Christmas stories.
During the following night a COM
motion in the chimney awakened
everybody in camp" said Labarre,
and it was found that a bear had tried
to climb down the chimney and got
mixed up with the hooks. The bear
was caught and killed.
