The Goose Never Foruot.

One day a lad saw a young gosling
struggling in the grasp Of huge rat.
1t made a vigorous resistance, but by
the time the lad came to the rescue 1t
was so severly bitten that 1t must have
soon become it's antagonists victim,
writes H. A. Page, in THE inner Life
Of Animals" The youth continued his
care over it until it recovered from its
injuries, dressing its wounds every
day. During his attendance on it
friendship sprang up between them,
and the gosling might be seen limping
after him everywhere. The boy de-
parted for school, and on his return
home at holiday time was joyfully re-
cognized by the goose, which showed
it's joy as plainly as a dog and attach
ed itself to him as before.
He became a man and the gosling a
goose, but neither Of them outlived
their regard for each other. The CRATE
full bird deserted her feathered COM
panions as soon as her friend visited
his home, and followed him as before.
and when the young man was seized
with illness the poor bird became rest
less and pining as though she knew
something was wrong. Guided by
some wonderful instinct, she made her
way to his room, corner Of which
she had occupied during the time he
had tended her wound in his boy
hood, and when she heard his voice
she crept under the bed and establish
ed herself there.

NINETY-FoURTH INSTAlLMENT
(Thursday Morning, Oct. II, 1S61))
Editorial Correspondence.

Warrenton, Fauquier county, Va, Sat
urday evening, October s, 1861.
Dear Enquirer: An unexpected train
of events has turned us up in search
of our wonted vigor, at this thriving
and romantically situated town, the
center of civil, social and commercial
life for a considerable scope Of terri
tory, reaching back to the Blue Ridge.
1t is larger than your lovely town
contains about three thousand inhabi-
tants-and in times of peace is noted
for it's business activity. This is ow-
ing to it's railroad connection with
Richmond and the extensive back
country" whose trade it commands,
and for which it furnishes supplies in
return. 1t has too, no Charlotte above
it, throwing out it's feelers for the pro-
duce and trade Of the adjacent country
and saping it's prosperity. You must
remember this when the war is over,
and push forward the Dallas connec-
ton" to a successful issue.
The energy of Warrenton is as war
very large proportion Of we'll equipped
volunteers to the Confederacy; and
the ladies have done much to place the
hospital here in it's present admirable
condition. The second martyr Virginia
gave to the cause of southern indepen-
dence, was a Warrentonian. We refer
to the brave and genial Captain Mari,
who fell in the skirmish at Fairfax
c. H.; and who is spoken Of here in
terms of the highest praise. The Mis-
sissippians have a hospital OF their
own here. Besides this, both the Meth
odist churches-called the northern
and southern-and one or two other
buildings have been converted to the
uses Of the sick and wounded soldiers.
The ladies visit them and prepare
them delicacies, and in many ways re-
lieve the gloom Of the sick chamber
with the sunshine of their gentle and
tender natures. We arrived here on
Thursday evening in charge of DR..
Meek, who has typhoid fever, and to
recruit, ourself; yet in this short space
he has had two or three visits with
proffers to do anything for him we
shall ask.
You are ready to ask why so small
a town should have two churches of
the same denomination. The answer is
sad comment on the Pandoras box
of evils which northern fanaticism had
opened upon us before war The dis
sensions in the Baltimore conference
on the new chapter" reached the har-
monious and prosperous church here,
and put neighbor against neighbor;
brother against brother, father against
son. But you must not infer that the
northern church" is anti-southern;
for they have given their elegant build

FLIGHT IN A ZEPPELIN
YOUNG Woman Gives Description OF
Modern Airship.


In the November Strand Magazine,
Fraulein Hanna Rion yer Beck de-
scribes her trip in Zeppelin. The pas
senger- cabin, she says, is perfectly
charming. 1t must have been planned
by an artist and a sage, for it gives one
the instant sense of safety and galety.
The color scheme is a strange, inhar-
monious harmony of old rose and GRIM
son. 1t is as wide as a railway coach
and has comfortably cushioned red
wicker chairs placed along it's wide
windows.
On the outside Of one of its red doors
is lavatory with every modern con-
venience except a bath; on the outer
side of the other door is located the
buffet, with it's stock Of wines and cold
delicacies. From here we proceeded
down the long interior aluminium ribbed
alley to the captains compartment
basket Here is the steering gear prop
er, the compass, the barometer, the ap-
paratus which registers the altitude,
the dluIHlHuHl SISll6ti io6o' thS wv
graph switchboard, a large motor, and
many levers
There are located at several parts of
the ship three ballast bags of water,
each weighing about 1,4OO English
pounds. BY touching levers in the
captains basket, any one of these bags
can be opened instantly and the water
let out to tighten the ship to the degree
desired.
The outer covering of the entire bal
loon section is made of a mixed mate
rial of silk and linen, and at every
eighth meter there is a band Of alum
mum extending around the sides like
the rungs of barrel-these are the
ribs of the ship.
There are eighteen separate balloons,
duplicates of the writhing bladder on
the floor, each balloon holding $1,000
cubic meters of gas.
The usual heipht maintained for
passenger service is about 600 to $50
feet Chis is to enable the passengers to
see more clearly the details of earth),
but the Victoria Luise" has flown to
an altitude of from $500 to 5000 feet.
The revolutions of the motors are
| 200 a minute, those of the propellers
from $50 TO 500 a minute.
The average speed of the ship for
passenger service is from 40 TO 90 miles
an hour.

KEEPING MILLS GOING
Warning Nations Bending Efforts in
that Direction.

That the belligerents in Europe are
making a special effort to keep their
cotton industry in operation, is shown
in recent advices from various sources
tinent. Shipments of cotton to Ger
many from the United States warrant
the possibility of continuity there. On
this subject Sir Charles Macara, pres
ident of the international Federation
of Master Cotton Spinners and Manu-
facturerS' associations, recently ad-
dressed a communication to the press
offering the suggestion that govern
ments concerned should cooperate to
provide funds wherewith to purchase
and store cotton in years of plenty,
According to the London Statist of
October 3, 1914, his plea is that some
immediate action should be taken to
cope with the present position.
Sir Charles calls attention to the
paralysis of the continental cotton in
dustry, particularly in Germany and
France and Belgium. The reduced
ability to manufacture comes through
the withdrawal of labor, and to a
great extent to the crippling of the
purchasing power Any prolonga-
tion of such conditions will result in
an accumulation of cotton supplies,
such as yarns and the like, and
bring about a fall of price, possibly
below the cost of production. He
points out that that was the case in
l9O4-5, when the supply Of raw cotton
was in excess of demand. There is
need, consequently. to prevent en-
travagant and injurious fluctuations in
| the price of cotton on the one hand
to an unduly high level, and on the
| other hand to such a figure as would
curtail the cultivation Of some of the
important fields."-Wall Street Journ

long story short, there was lots of

The Black Fox Skin.


You must understand that from
this time on my association with No
yember Joe was not continuous but
ftful, and that after the events l
have Just written down, 1 went back
to Quebec, where I became once
more immersed in my business. or
Joe 1 heard from time to time, gen.
orally by means of smudged letters
obviously written from camp and
usually smelling of wood smoke. 1t
was such a letter, which, in the fol-
lowing year. caused me once more
to seek November. 1t ran as fol-
lows:
Mr.. Quaritch, sir, last week l was
up to Widdeney pond and / seen a
wonderful red deer buck. / guess he

to take the place O. that fella you
shot there last fall. This great fella
has had a accident to his horns or
something for they come out Of his
head thick and stunted-like and all
over little points. Them horns would
look fine at the top Of the stairs in
your house to Quebec, so come and
try for them. I'll be down to Mrs.
Hrding's, Friday morning, so as
can meet you if you can come.
There's only three moose using round
here, two COWS and a mean little
fella of a bull. November.
This was the letter which caused
me to seek Mrs. Harding's, but ow-
ing to a slight accident to the rig

find that November had gone up to a
neighboring farm on some business,
leaving word that should l arrive, l
was to start for his shack and that
he would catch me up on the way.
November struck my trail and it was
long after dark when we reached
November's shack that evening. AS
he opened the door he displaced
something white that lay just inside
it.
It's a letter." he said in surprise
as he handed it to me. What does
it say, Mr.. Quaritch?"
read it aloud. 1t ran:
