There Is probably no place in tho worl where geese are raised more ex tensively than in Poland. Warsaw Is the great center for the trade ir these birds and 1t is the town of Dvinsk. near which the Russian and German armies have been fighting SC 'uriously of late, that has largely SUD ol.ed the Warsaw market Dyinsk too. is probably the only place in tho world where geese are shod.
 The Polish farmer does not send his birds to market in coops and by train. That would be considerable expense. He drives them on tho highway. the flock often numberln, several hundred. That they may wall to Warsaw without getting sore feet he shoes them They are first madc to walk over a patch of road cover ed with warm tar and then over an other patch covered with sand.

MARSHALL WANTS TO BE
 NOMINATED AeAlN-HlsToRY
 SHOWS FEW HAVE SUCCEEDED

WASHINGTON. Jan. 1.-The ques. lion of whether the Democrats are to rencminate vice-President Marshall continues to be discussed with interest among the politicians. Nobody is able to answer 1t, and probably the party decision will not be announced for leveral months. Marshall is willing 70 run again; indeed he is more than willing; he wants to run, and has lone all he could to get prominent party leaders to commit themselves.
 Not long ago he spent an hour with President Wilson, giving him all sorts of opportunities to say, Marshall, iincerely hope that you are to be on he ticket with me next year." But he President was tco old a bird to be caught in that way. He discussed many things with Marshall, but said never Q word about the 1916 ticket.
 It has recently been reported that he President has expressed the wish hat Marshall should be his running nate next year; but this is not true The President has done no such thing md nobody knows that peter thar Marshall himself whose recent inter jew with him was not all that coulc have been desired-for the Marshal tandpoint.
 Views Not Called For
 This Is not to say that the Pres' lent would not be glad to have Ma hall renominated: but there has beer no occasion to make such an expres 'ion either for publication or for ug, privately; and. besides. it would bo very unusual for the President himsel presumably. seeking renomination. t' uggest a candidate for second place n the ticket

 Democratic History
 The Democratic party, 1t is announo- cd by the historians. never has re- nominated a vice-presIdent. The near est approach to such an occurrence was in the case of Thomas A. Hen dr!cks. who ran on the ticket with Tilden In 1876. Undoubtedly, as the case is now viewed, Tllden was elect ed. but Haynes obtained the office through the famous returning board. Hendricks was nominated secon1 time for vice.president with Cleve land. as has just been stated, and died nine months after he had taken the oath of office.
 After Adlai Stevenson's term as vice-president in the last Cleveland administration had expired. he was nominated for second place on the ticket with Bryan in 1900. But that was some time after his term with Cleveland had expired, and so 1t is pointed out that he could not be con. sidered as renominated vice-presi dent.
 It therefore happens that if Mar shall is renominated this year 1t will be an unusual proceeding. But at the -ame time there Is no reason why the precedent here referred to should not be broken. Marshall is entirely will ing to have 1t broken. and it. may be hat his personal popularity and abil- 'ty as a "stumper" will operate in  iuch way as to bring this about Seattle Times.)
