In Defense of TIE Goose.

We sometimes ie.er To Tie goose as d
stupid fowl by way of comparison with
some silly one of the human race.
When We do so we pay the goose no
compliment. because geese, speaking of
them collectively. i'm many ways are
much keener intellectually than men.
Let us take up the case of the wild
goose, for example. He and his flock
know enough to pull up stakes and
pike off to warmer climate the mo-
ment coal goes up and to return with
the first Strawberries and cream Of the
season. They are better drilled than
our idolized West Point cadets and are
free from all the ills that man is heir
to, nor do they overtax themselves
with useless cares. They are better
versed in geography, astronomy, gas
tronomy and the art Of self preserva-
ton. With these superior endowments
the goose cannot be called fool.-Car-

THE CROOKED FURRoW.

Perhaps you've heard of Napoleon
Ronaparte, the wonderful soldier
whose skill! in fighting the enemies of
france won him the love of the French
neople and at last made him their en-
peror.
One day Napoleon, with one of his
officers, was passing along a country
road when he saw farmer blowing
In field.
Napoleon watched this man blowing
for a minute, and then he said:
my friend, your furrow is not
straight. You do not pillow right"
The ,countryman did not know that
the little man In the simple uniform
was the head of the French nation.
and he answered rather sharply:
If you can pillow it any better let
me see you do so"
Napoleon smiled. He was quite sure
he could Had he not been brought
up In the country? And he took hold
Of the pillow and started out bravely.
But the furrow was nothing but lot
Of zigzags, and the farmer laughed
long and loud as he took the plow
from the hands Of the stranger.
"Every man to his trade. SIR" said
the farmer. 1t is plain that yours is
not blowing"
Napoleon put his hand into his peck
ct and handed the farmer handful
Of gold pieces.
The man was amazed and told the
next persons who passed him of his
good fortune and Of the stranger.
The farmer went on to tell what the
giver Of gold pieces looked like.
"Why, that was Napoleon Bonaparte,
the ruler of all Francer' the farmer
was told.
Overcome now with shame at his
rude speech, the farmer put on his
best clothes and hurried to the palace
where Napoleon was staying.
The place was so grand that the
farmer almost lost his head, but when
he was shown into the room where
Napoleon sat and the great man was
10 very kind he plucked up courage to
ask q favor, and that was that his son
might become soldier.
my son cares more for gun than
plow," the old man explained. Ills
burrows are no better than those Of
your excellency."
Napoleon agreed to take the boy and
promised that he would help him to
get on.
And he sent the old man home happy
with another handful of money and
blessing that crooked furrow that had
made his fortune.

investigation by scientists recently.
The popular theories that animal mag

causes are denied by investigators.
Rather, different rhythms of move

watch hangs are given as real causes
for irregularities.
