HOLLYWOOD, Calf, May 9.
If this isn't a classic 3" list.
When Mary Pickford and Doug
Fairbanks departed for New York
Cid Graham cooked up a practi-
cal joke on Doug. He borrowed"
Hollywood's only trained goose.
He Instructed the chauffeur to
put it in Mr.. Fairbanks drawing
room but be sure to take 1t off
before the train pulled out, The
significance of the goose may be
dual
The chauffeur, however, missed
the train. So he raced to Pasa-
dena in an effort to catch it.
He did, but the darn thing pulled
out so quick the goose was left
aboard! The chauffeur returned
to tell Mr.. Graham the portentous
news.
Sid cogitated and wired Doug.
1t seemed the goose had been
shooed off the train in Ell Paso,
or some town along the line. The
owner of the trained goose de-
manded his bird. For some years,
now, he has made an excellent liv-
ing from it's picture work. In a
panic, Sid wired the chamber of
commerce in the town where the
goose was thrown off imploring
them to search high and low for it.
In the meantime. the trained
goose's infuriated owner is going
to sue Mr.. Graham for $4,000!

Washington. March Ex-senator J.
Boomboom McWhOrter says it Is a
mistake to suppose that a statesman S
troubles all come while he is trying
to be elected. As a matter OF fact,
says McWhorter. it is only after he
Is elected that they really begin.
The senator is sorely concerned
with problems Of domestic relations
which he says are far more delicate
than those of foreign relations and
If he had his way there would be a
Senate committee to handle one as
well as the other. The trouble seems
to be that the other members OF the
McWhorter family do not see why
j. Boomboon, who was never by any
means the brightest Of them. should
be on the government payroll while
they are left off.
The situation Is somewhat compi-
Gated by the fact that during the
darkest days of the McWhorter cleo
ton campaign the senator boosted
within the family circle that If he
were defeated he would be appointed
to the cabinet and that everyone
within the family circle would then
have a job in his department.
\ \ \
All the McWhorters, young and old,
fell on Uncle Boomboom's neck and
went out to contribute to the cam
paign fund Of his opponent. When
the senator was shown to have been
reelected, thanks to the faithful cleo
ton officials, they decided unani-
mously that those dollars must not
have been spent in vain and that they
should be cared for in any event, but
would consent to the pain of separa-
ton in case Uncle Boomboom couldn't
get them all into the same bureau or
department.
Senator McWhorter is by no means
the first statesman to be beset with
such a problem. Most statesmen
solve 1t by picking fights with their
relatives we'll in advance and making
them SO mad that they won't ask for
anything. But when Senator Nc
Whorter tried that last Christmas he
merely lost fairly good suit of
clothes beyond repair and was unable
to return to Washington until some
time after the recess, by which time
