to give the names and residences of the
181 persons in Centre County who pur-
chased the limit ($1000.00 maturity val
ue) of War Saving Stamps during the

that can be done therefore under the
circumstances, is to give a statement of

Gold in Goose's Gizzard.
Strange and miraculous things are oc-
curring every day, but one of the strang-
est of occurences was brought to our at-
tention Wednesday morning by Nelson
Robb, secretary and treasurer of the
Bellefonte Trust Company, says the
Keystone Gazette.
Tuesday afternoon about the time of
closing the bank, two ladies from Bush
Addition, a suburb of Bellefonte, came
to the door on High street, leading into
the private apartment of the bank, and
Mr. Robb gave them a cordial welcome,
One of the ladies was Mrs. Curtin C,
Taylor, and in her hand she had a gold
coin which she handed to Mr. Robb, in-
quiring as to what it was worth. Mr.
Robb on taking the coin found that it
had been worn perfectly smooth on both
sides so that it was impossible for him
to tell as to which denomination it be-
longed. The lady was informed that
the piece could be seat to the mint and
whatever they made it she would get,
In the meantime Mr. Robb became
curious to know where she had gotten
the coin. Mrs. Taylor hesitated a little
about telling the story, and Mr. Robb
informed her that if it was something
private he would not press the answer,
Then Mrs. Taylor volunteered to tell
the story, which was to the effect that
she had killed a goose for New Year's
and while removing the insides she
found the coin io the gizzard. The only
solution to the problem is that the goose
picked up the coin a long time ago and
as it revolved in the gizzard it was worn
smooth by coming in contact with peb-
nd other articles up by the
bird. It is certainly a good
chase a goose where the * Rilings rh
found so precious,
