A WILD GOOSE STORY.
EACH FOWf. MADE TO CARRY
DRINKI.NO WATER FOR
ITS MATES.
Jacksonville Times-Unibn.
An ingenious and plausable
•tory conies from a Middle Flor
ida planter in the cotton belt.
He had a lot of barn yard fowls,
among them being a small flock
of geese.
As is a well known fact, the
goose, though the greediest
'berbiverous domestic fowl, will
not touch the cotton plant but
is very fond of the tender grass,
the bi'in-* of the cotton patch.
Tins planter, a 3 the story is
told, made some notations of
the habits of the flock in feed
ing taking notice of the locali
ties, and was much gratified to
that where tho thick could be
induced to feed the cotton sweep
and hoe was a back number, if
the soil was fallow when the
cotton was planted/ indeed it
would be as clean as his front
yard. The special feature of
his observations, however, were,
that the geese could not be in
duced to perform the coveted
service with any degree of regu
larity, preferring so pick and
repick special localities. Whe;
this was fathomed, It was as
certained that in and around
the barnyard houses wi.s a fa
vorite range, while several other
■pots in the field where the
geese would take a range similar
in extent to that around the
barn houses and yard were well
picksd . A little closer obser
vution revealed the fact, that
in every instance, the plat in
which the geese would wander
was a watered range, not for
swimming and bathing purpose,
of which the species is well
known to be fond, v> ut for drink
ing puiposes.
The planter reasoned that if
he could furnish the desired wa
ter, the flock might be induced
to literally clean up the grass
in the entire field to a blade-
The pith of tho story is the re
sult of his novel attempt. It
would not pay to hire a water
boy to follow them; in fact, the
flock did not get along well with
children any way, so he deter
mined to try the novel experi
ment of making the geese water
carriers for each other. To this
end he procured for each of the
flock a small gourd, cleaned
nicely with a small liolo cut in
it sufticieut'y large to admit
drinking from,as from a trough.
These wero filled witn water and
each goose had one tied around
its neck.
It was suggested that this;
would not work, for the goe.-i !
could drink from its own gourd j
This, however, was not the in
genious plunteror's idea at all
but the reverse. Each goose
could drink from its comrade’s
gourd.
Thus equipped, he turned ihe
flock of geese into the cotton
patch, where the grass was get
ting the best of the cotton out
side of the former goose range.
It worked like a charm. They
took the patch by rote, like a
gang plow, and cleaned it up the
first day, apparently compre
hending what they boen expect
ed to do.
Now the planter has bought a
flock of 150 geese, of the most
voracious species- He intends
to equip them in a similar man
ner for this year’s crop of au in
creased acreage, maintaining
stoutly that he has solved the
problen of dispensing entirely
with the cotton chopper.
Per haps it might be well to
reserve the smile until the re
suit of this year’s experiment
becomes known. In the mean
time some progressive South
Florida farmer might serve uo
lice on his little patch of nut
grass that he might he induced
to try the experiment himself.

We extract from the Colum
bus Enquirer the following ac
count of a meeting held at Law
rencevillo for tho purpose of
doing honor to the memory of,
the heroes killed at Shepherd’s
Plantation, in Stewart county,
Georgia, and also of the volun
teers who were cruelly shot at
Goliad in Texas:
“At a meeting of a portion
of the citizens of Gwinnett
county, the committee appoint
ed at a previous meeting for
that purpose made the follow
ing report: The committee ap
pointed for that purpose, beg
leave to report that they ap
pointed Captain 11. Garmany,
Ensign M. T. Hamilton, and
Private Thomas Huntand Elias
Greene to bring the remains of
Ensign J.S. Lacy, Orderly Ser
geant James C. Martin, and
Privates J. A. V. Tate, Robert
T. Holland, James 11. Holland,
James M. Allen, Henev W. IV

r After this report was read,
Colonel N. 1.. Hutchins offered
the following as an amendment
to the report:
And, whereas, our townsman,
Captain James C. Winn, at the
first call to arms, flew to the
assistance <*f the Texans, who
were warring for liberty and in
dependence against their op
presrors, and his early com
panion, Anthony Bates, who
went with him to share his
perils, fight in the same holy
cause, and to suffer the same
sad fate, were both inhumanly
butchered in cold blood in Fan
nin’s devoted baud.
And, Whereas, by their brav
ery and devotion to the cause
they had espoused, the first was
promoted to be a Captain, and
tho latter to Orderly in a very
short time after they entered
the service, and served with
honoi to themselves and use
fulness to the cause, until they
were tuken, bravely fighting.'
and in cold blood butchered by
a savage band of .Mexicans, by
order of their savage command
er. Therefore,
Resolved, That Captain Jas.
C. Winn, and Orderly Sergeant
Anthony Bates, share the hon
ors bestowed on our other la
mented volunteers, and that
thoir names, with suitable in
scriptions, be engraved upon
the monument to be erected in
the public square.
Which amendment was adopt

The horse came tearing mad
ly down the street. The coach-1
man had jumped to save his
life and the beautiful girl in-1
side the coupe sereutned for
help.
Suddenly the man from Bos
ton darted out in front of Ihe ;
wild eyed steed. It seemed
suicidal, but upon the bravo;
fellow’s face was a look of de
termination that would have!
been the glory of a knight of i
old.
Bracing himself up for the
shock, he awaited the opportu-|
irty that Providence seemed to
have intended him for, and the
people upon the sidewalks stood
breathless.
With a bound the frightened
brute was upon him. Ho clutch
ed the reius and swung himself
out of the way of the beating
hoofs. The coupe swerved and
was almost overturned, but
righted itself, and in a moment
the heroic deed was accomplish
ed. The trembling steed stood
still, the fainting girl was lift
ed from her perilous position.
‘’Where is he ? Where is he?’
she cried, and her resell re r was
pointed out.
Without waiting to be intro
duced the beautiful creature
Hung herself upon his breast
and cried:
“Oh, sir, you d me noble!”
A deathly pallor overspread
his face. He tore away from
her, and as he galloped madly
from the scene muttered:
“Great heavens! She’s from
Chicago! Oh, that l uad known
it before l ruined my 50 cent

MAX—AND HOW TO THE/. ’
HIM.
RY a iiorse.
When a man finds his fin..!
too heavy and feels that it wi •!
seriously strain him lo proceed,
or if lie drops from sheer ex
haustion or illness, promptly
seize an end board or a ca:t
stake and pound him on the
head and on the ribs. If tb s
does not recuperate him ki< k
him violently in the belly.
Tins treatment will restore him
if persistenly administered, will
give renewed energy, and In
will make no more fuss. But
do not, on any account, reduce
the load, that would look ton
much like common sense, or
humanity, and he will probably
never balk again when over
loaded.
If a man refuses to drink
when you offer him water don’t
give him any for two days.
That will’“teach” him to be
thirsty' at any time you find it
convenient to water him.
If it is not perfectly con
venient to feed a loan who is
working for you at noon let him
go without, and, by active us >
of t lie whip secure as much
work a u the food would have
secured. Of course it weirs
out his vitality and distress*!,
him, but that is no matter.
It is a good plan to ply the
whip frequently on a mmi who
is at work. No matter if he is
doing his best, hit him now
and then on “general princi
ples” and to prevent- him tak
ing any comfort.
If his load is not heavy oblige
him to go enough faster to mat «
up for it. Work him hard
enough to bring down the i»'i* •
age life of man on** Ini I a« i
done with us the uiif. rtiuu* •
horses. If no whip i* handy
use a club.
Tie your man’s head back in
an unnatural position, with his
eyes toward the sun. This will
give him a “find appeaianee,”
and “prevent him from stumb
ling.” Of course lie will n I
lie able to do much work in tlii*
position but it makes him look
smart, so it’s all right.
In winter remove hisefothii g
to prevent lii“ taking cold, lb*
will also “dry quicker” whet*
you work him. Yon must bang
a blanket on his back 1 at l(*»v«*
his neck and limbs exposed—
when lie* is not atswork. Meu
thus treated are “much health
ier” than when allowed winter
clothing. 1'
I’ut tight shoes on your man
and keep them there until he is
very lame with corns. To
change his shoes often costs
money; not much, but some,
and lameness and misery are of
no account if you can save a
few shillings’ worth of shoes n
tin* year.
When you hire a man do u *t
be hampered with any silly, hu
mane notions. Get all you can
out of True nobility con
sists in getting money iof in
decency or kindness, or what
some term “character.” Get
money even it all blood stained
These are correct principles.
1 am sure, for I learned them

THE BEATTIFI'L SPY WHO
TOOK IN ATLANTA.
Prom i lie Evening Constitution.
In the spring of 18G4 Atlanta
"as full of Johnston’s oflicers
ond soldiers.
An uneasy feeling prevailed in
every circle, and it wa4 feared
that the federals might any day
make a forced march ora raid
and surprise t he city.
Still, our people faced the
situation courageously. They
had passed through so many
dangers that they were not easi
ly frightened.
The sullen boom of Sherman’s
big guns could then he heard
forty miles away, but Atlanta
maintained 4 her usual serenity
outwardly, and gave no sign of
her secret misgivings.
Our theater was then on its
last legs, but occasional per
formances were liberally patron
ized.
One of the star attractions in
a strolling company at that
time was a pretty, black-eyed
young woman, apparently about
twenty years old, who cariied
the town by storm.
Shis girl was a wonder. She
was equally at home in tragedy
and comedy. She could sing
mid dance, and when .she took
■v male part in a play a
howling success.
A better all-round artist had
never visited Atlanta, and that
was the general verdict.
When sho told her story it
“xeited the sympathy of our
best people. She was a creole
of Louisiana, and her family
had been murdered by a raiding
party of Butler’s troops. She
had lefugeed into the confeder
acy, and having no. relations,
and friends, she hud decided to
use her rare dramatic gifts and
earn hew own living.
This story made the pretty
actress very popular, and she
! was patroniz 'd in a social way
by s.,me of our loading citizens
Young officers took lu*r out
driving, and generals and colo
! nels showed her over our forti
(ficutions which were then near
■ ly finished.
T 1 e creole’s curiosity about
such matters charmed the mili
' tary men, and it ail'oftled them
the greatest possible pleasure
I to answer her questions and ex
plain overv doubtful point.
Several weeks rolled l*y, and
when her company disbanded,
! the actress remained in Atlanta.
I She established herself at a pop
iular boarding house, and told
j lif*r friends that she needed a
[ rest before going on tho Rich*
1 mend stage.’
She received a great deal of
attention, and was practically
the belle of the army. The
lines were closing around the
city, but the creolo charmer
still lingered.
The officers of Johnston’s ar
my wore at her feet. They
sent her costly presents, and
every fine day they might have
bsen seen riding with h**r along
our lines of breastworks.
Suddenly the actress disap
peared. The military men were
nearly crazy because they could
not trace her, Int tho ladies of
the city did not seem to regret
her departure, and, iu fact,
they hinted that she Was no
better than she should be.
The month of Jung slipped by,
and there were no tidings from
the missing star.
Then came July, and w ith it
the beginning of t he siege,
■ At such a critical time we 1
soon forgot the favorite of the j
fojtlights, and at the end of
forty days’ shelling people were
thinking of far more important
matters.
When the bursting bombs
were buruing houses and killing
women und children, night and
day, it required a very frivolous
person to think of a variety ac
tress, for the stranger was hard
ly anything more.
The seige was over at last,
and the federal* inarched iu.
One line morning a western
corps commander with bis stulY
rode through the < ity and took
a look at the fortifications.
By his side was a small, dark
faced, hlack-ed young mun,who
acted as his guide, and pointed
out various things of interest
Accidentally l mot this young
ster. face to face, and my sur
prise caused me to stand almost
piralyzed iu my trucks.
He was t he pretty actress who
had turned the heads of so many
of our officers!
The stranger's eyes met mine
and snapped viciously. Then a
mocking smilo spread over his
piqmtnt face, and his glance was
plainly one of recognition.
1 spoke guardedly to several
of Sherman's officers about the
mysterious young man, but
they gave mo very little satis
faction.
Finally, 1 learned that lie
was a famous personaterof male
and female on tho
French stage in New York city.
But was he a mun or a wo
man ?
Nobody could answer this
question,but 1 was told that he
or she, us the ease might be,
was one of the most successful
spies who had ever served the
I union cause.
The mystery of this person’s
sex remained unsolved, and T
never heard of the phenomenon
again after Sherman left At
lanta.

CHICAGO THIEVES.
WHAT THEY CAn’t STEAL ISN’T
WORTH STEALING.
From Chicago Record,
If there is anything in or
around Chicago that is not
liable to be stolen, just name
it.
Think of the things which
seem to lx* beyond the garner
ing of thieves—air, sunlight,
water.
Why, a man on the West Side
tapped his neighbor’s ventila
ting shaft and stole fresh air
for his workshop and became
defendant in a damage suit.
Sunlight is the greatest ltixu
ry in town. A tenant on the
top floor of an office building
put up an awning which shaded
the skylight and thus robbed
the poor people on the lower
floors of their small allowance
of sunshine. He was denounced
a thief, and he had to give back
the light.
As for water, were not some
wealthy packers accused of tap
ping the city mains and using
thousands of dollars’ worth of
lake water ?
Rertl estate is supposed to be
safe from “hold-uj>” men and
sneak th'eves, but it isn’t.
One day, several years ago,
Inspector John D. Shea, then a
lieutenant, was sitting in n
West. Side police station, when
his friend and fellow-country
man, Tom Tally, came in,
“I have a new kind of case
for you, Jack,” said Mr. Tally.
“Yes? WJint is it?” .
'‘They've shtolen me lot.”
“Stolen youj lot ? How is
that?”
“Well, they’ve shtolen it,and
they haven’t. It's there and
yet it ain't there. ”
It seemed that Mr. Tully had
purchased a lot in an,outlying
street. He had not looked nt
the property for many months.
One day he went out to inspect
his strip of land and see if the
neighborhood was building up.
He found tlint his lot had been
excavated to a depth of seven
feet, so that, iusteadof a build
ing lot he had a large cellar
with puddles of water and u
scattering of tomato cans and
broken buttles.
Any mAh can be a burglar or
a footpad, but it requires'an
ingenious and inventive person
to steal real estate* and growing
crops.
Did not a band of pastoral
thieves descend upon a ton-acre
patch of timothy hay southwest
of the stock yards ?
They came with a mowing
machine, a horse rake, forks
and wagons. They made hay
while the sun shone and hauled
it away on racks. When the
owner of the land arrived to
gather his crops ho found only
a few stray leavings. Hundred*
of people hud seen the thieves
at work, but no one had sus
pected anything. There were
no arrests.
More than one truck farmer
has had his field of cabbages
stripped bare in a single night,
and this, too, within the cor
porate limits of a city where
policemen are supposed to lie
on patrol duty all the time.
In some parts of Chicago, and
especially during the cold weath
«r, an unoccupied house will be
demolished in less than a week
unless it is guarded. First, the
feuce pickets are taken, then
the sidewalks disappear, then
the clapboards and window
sashes are pulled loose. In
more than one instance a house
has been razed to the ground
ami used, a piece at a time, for
firewood.
Building sand left in piles is
liable to be loaded up and haul
ed away'. Bricks have a mar
ket value, also, and young trees!
can be taken up and transplant
ed. _
Working for the good of
others indirectly brings about
our own good.
Tho greatest inspiration for
men to live better lives collies
from those thut know Christ as
a personal Saviour.
Don’t forget that the aim of
jail religious teaching and learn
ing is tlie conversion of sinners
laud the salvation of souls.
1.00 PER ANNUM, IN ADVANCE
I RIVER l NDER A TOWN.
l IT is relieved that the LOST
RIVER IN INDIANA HAS BEEN
LOCATED.
For many years the invisible
course of the famous Lost river,
which suddenly sinks from view
at a point near the town of Or
leans, Ind., has incited scientif
ic inquiry. No trace of this
under ground river was ever dis
covered until the recent heavy
rains. It is now believed that
Lost river runs directly under
the town of Orleans. This be
lief is based mainly upon the
fact that during the recent Mood
the water burst forth from what
was supposed to be a small cave
in such volumes that the town
was flooded. The water has
now ceased to flow from the
cave, but anyone standing near
the entrance can hear the rush
ing of the torrent, apparently
bund red s»of feet below.
The explanation of the sud
den appearance of the water at
tho'cuve is that owing to the
great volume caused by the rain
the subterranean channel was
insufficient to carry it off, and
the pressure became so great
that it sought relief through the
cave. This belief is further
confirmed because some years
ago there was an attempt to
bore for gas at Orleans. After
a depth of 500 feet hud been
reached water gushed forth with
terrific force and continued to
flow for many months.—Cleve

Its forms and sacred rites revere,
Come worship here! come wor

“Oh heed theaneient landmark

While all is well 1 is well! is

“Ye purifying waters swell!”
In mellow tone* rang outa bell;
“Though faith alone in Christ

To show the world unfaltering

In what the sacred Scriptures
saith;
Oh, swell! ye rising waters,

Pealed out t lie clear-timed bap

“Not faith alone, but works as

Must test tile soul!” said a soft
bell;
“Come here and cast aside your

And work your way along the

With faith in God and faith in

And hope in Christ, where hop

Do well! do well! do Well! do

“Farewell! farewell 1 base world

In touching tones exclaimed a

To lit tho soul for bliss in heav

Do not invoke the avenging rod,
Come here and learn ttie way to
