Az Invasion Of C,eese.

The citizens Of Abbeville and the sur
rounding country had quite a novel ex-
perieuce MONDAY night by the invasion
of large and numerous focks of geese.
VIII CHI were, supposedly, on their wsv 70
the north, where they stav during tie
summer. They began to arrive soon
after dark.
!; seems, from all appearances, that
they were LOST the heavy Jog, which
lasted all night. and were attracted to
tie tow, thal had electric lights. This
place was kept awake practical y all night,
20 thh annoyance Of some and iov 10
others. Many of TIE l5esc came TO the
ground practically exhausted ard wet
from the fog, Some of the geese we're
afterwards turned loose because thev
were so poor. Others were probably
eaten and still others were held as a
novel by others,
Any one who killed any Of the geese
otherwise than with gun from tie
shoulder technically violated the Law.
although it is claimed by some that
they were in self defense. One man got
his goose without any effort at all it
flying right TO his feet and stopping
there.
One the funny side, there are many
instances. One little negro boy, who
met up with the game commissioner
Through no fault of his, explained that
he had caught one and then turned It
loose and offered to swear he had, So
the commissioner tod him 70 hold his
hand no and sweat, which lie did, In,
uedis;ely the little fellow ran home
ard turnee the poor goose loose. II
wer, southwark after getting high into
the air
Another wise guy stated in the fore
noon following, that he was going to be
prepared for them that night. He be-
longed 70 the class that is a class in
itself
The residents Of Poutette claim that
they had 10 signs OF any geese Ihere.

BUILD 1T WELL.

Builders, in the course Of their work
find many opportunities to use an oc
casional faulty piece of material.
Sometimes it is used through ignor.
ance, sometimes through malice. some
times because Of desire to get rid
of an inferior article at the price of
perfect one. Whatever the cause.
the effect is the same. The building
may stand for years, seemingly sound
and solid, and then, suddenly. under
some strain the faulty piece gives way
and the whole structure tumbles.
The same thought applies in the
case OF human beings, both as regards
each individual and as regards the
things which they accomplish. A fine
looking exterior may cover a creature
of faulty structure-physically or men.
tally-and may continue for years to
hide 1t from view, but eventually it
shows and the structure collapses.
At present we have a set of men
who are, we hope, building for the
future, building a structure of solid
material, and building. well. Much
faulty material has been offered them
and much more will be offered, and it
will require the exercise of the great.
est intelligence, diligence and care to
avoid using bad material. We do not
think any Of the gentlemen mentioned
would use the faulty material through
malice-and we trust that il will
never be said that ignorance was re-
sponsible, and so far as using Il to
get rid of it-rejection on the simple
grounds of mot being suitable" is the
best method. '.l' n
The builders We have reference to
are the members of the legislature.
They are gathered together for the
purpose of building for future genera
tions, of creating things which will
be for the benefit of the whole com.
monweatlh-things which will stand
for ages as monuments to their in.
telligence and integrity.
Many side issues will be brought
up to divert their efforts from the real
