teaching that the summer seemed to
fly by on wings
Oh. Of course. he and the goose
didn't play together all the time.
There were rides on the big farm

IN the kitchen with grandma while she
made cookies and jams with Tom as

by the dam some five miles away. All
those things Tom did and more. But
whenever he didn't have something
very special to do. he could sit on the
back door step. or on the bench down
by the arbor and play with Mrs.
Goose.
She liked corn-Tom soon found
that out. And also she wasn't bit
afraid Of her master. not bit. So
Tom would hide the corn he had for
her IN his pockets in his smock. and
Mrs. Goose learned to snoop around
from pocket to pocket till she got her
full meal
One day Tom decided It would be
fun to tie up the corn in his handker-
chief and see If she could get it out
then. Could she? Well. you should
have seen her!
She pecked at the string. she
jerked at the handkerchief till finally
she made hole and out spilled the
corn all over the ground and all she
had to do was to eat 1t up at her
leisure.
Fortunately it was an old handker-
chief for Mrs. Goose had made the
hole IN the cloth instead Of breaking
the string as Tom intended her to.
But when he told grandmother. she
suggested using some old cloth in
which hole wouldn't matter. So ev-
cry day after that. Tom tied up Mrs.
Goose's supper in bit nf old cloth
and then let her dig it out. She liked
the game and played and snorted in a
way that was most laughable. But
what she liked best. was the minute
when the corn spilled out and she
could eat her supper.

saniues ne appeared the hard shrewd
business man whose name became a
ny.word on the lips Of all Philadei-

The great tragedy OF Girard's life
was the death OF his child and fhe
illness OF his wife. His topIi-
ness made him feel sympathetic and
kindly towards the poor orphan
boys OF the CITY and he determined
that since his great wealth would
never benefit any son Of his own II
should be used to benefit the sons Of
less fortunate men. So 1t was that he
provided for the establishment Of
Girard College. In his will Glrard
stipulated that the sum OF hve millions

the expenses Of the large institution.

that time-but the original capital has
