ing-The cooking school directions
for preparing goose for roasting
are rather apt to excite some amuse-
ment in the breasts of old-fashioned
house-keepers, envertheless the newer
method is certainly an improved one,
as it removes much of the superflu-
Gus fat, and, in so doing, improves
the flavor Of this savory bird. The
directions are as follows: Select a
young goose, singe it, and scrub it
we'll in soap and water, rinse very
thoroughly in clear water, and dry
inside and out with cloth. To moke
the stuffing, cook one-half teaspoon
full on finely chopped onion with three
tablespoonful of butter for five min
utes. Add one-quarter pound of sau-
sage meat, stripped Of it's skin,
twelve finely chopped mushrooms and
one cupful of mashed chestnuts.
Heat the mixture and add one ounce
of fresh bread crumbs, two dozen
whole chestnuts (Which have been
boiled and skinned), salt and pepper
to taste, lump Of butter and one
half teaspoonful of minced parsley
Cool the stuf1ing partially before US
ing it. Baste the goose often while it
is cooking, and roast about two hours
or until well done and richly brown
ed. Serve on bed of parsley.

NiSHED NIGHT oFFiCERs-EU.
RICH ASKS PEOPLE TO HELP.

Ottawa police are on the trail of a
moron, a man about thirty years of
age, who has been accostng children.
No less than five complaints were
made today at the police station by
West Ottawa mothers, who are great
ly frightened by the actions of the
man. This morning Chief of Police
Zurich gave the description of the fel-
low as follows: Age 80 years, dark
beard, dark moustache, dark eyes
scar on nose; wore either black or
dark brown suit, slouch hat, heavy
mittens and dark shoes.
Saturday evening the stranger ac-
costed two West Ottawa girls, inQuir
ing at first for a boarding house, and
then endeavoring to entice them to
60 with him. He talks at random
about suit case and grip, which he
says he left in West Ottawa board
ing house.
The man is not foreigner, and is
said to speak good English. Since
prowlers have infested the city the po-
lice have been assigned to beats" in
the residence district, and there have
not been so many complaints from
this source.
Today Chief Zurich issued an order
to his night men to arrest all suspi-
cious characters who may be unable
to give an account OF themselves.
The description Of the moron given
above is a good one and the police
should have little trouble in identify
ing the man.
Chief Zurich has requested that peo-
pie phone the station when they see
prowlers or jack the peppers.
