Wilson of Alba is Brad- Advertising Distributor Of all the clever railroad stories told by District Passenger Agent Paul S. Millspaugh of the Lehigh Valley railroad company, based upon facts which come under his observation, his latest, concerning a large gander in a flock of wild geese that recently inhabited the shores of lake Cayuga, is perhaps the best. As the story goes, it seems that when the flock started south several months ago to look for warmer quarters during the winter, the old gander was left be- hind. He had been temporarily crippled and was unable to make the long flight with his companions. This fact became known through an incidental stop of a freight train between King's Ferry and Aurora on the Auburn division. The crew discovered the gander hopping about upon the rocks at the side of the railroad. They saw where he had tried to build a temporary nest, and his crippled condition touched the hearts of the trainmen, and from their dinner pails, they furnished him food. The presence of the goose soon became known to all the trainmen passing that point, and they fed him regularly. That he was thriv- ing on the food and was rapidly improving was soon apparent. The gander seemed to know just when the trains were due and was always waiting for his “handouts.” Finally his lameness disappeared, but probably because of the nuld weather remained. The trainmen feared every day that he would be gone. Mr. Millspaugh now thinks that he remained out of gratitude. One day Mr. Millspaugh dropped a roll of Lehigh Valley aircu'ars out of the train. The next day the gander was gone. But the most remarkable feature of the story follows. Mr. Mills. paugh received an interesting tele gram from a railroad man at a city along the coast of Florida. It reads: “A flock of wild geese has been distributing Lehigh Valley railroad advertising matter here” BRAKEMAN INJURED Chas. O'Donnell of East Mauch Chunk, a Lehigh Valley brakeman on the passenger train running between Mauch Chunk and Sham- okin, had a narrow escape from death at Mauch Chunk station on Monday evening. The crew had finished their trip and were putting their train on a side track when one of the cars jumped the track. O'Donnell went under the cars to loosen a chain; the engineer failed to notice him and started the train back. O'Donnell's head was caught between the platform of the and badly cut. The injured man was sent to his home and a doctor called. His injures are painful but not of a serious nature, NOTICE I do not wish any of my custo- mers or friends to think that the retirement of J. W. Arthur from the firm of Arthur & Compahy and the dissolution of that firm will in any way changethe business, itis only a progressive step in the same line. I shall in the future endeavor to serve my patrons better and keep all I now have and get just as many more as | can. Give me a trial, and I'm sure ‘you will come again. D. M.

Yesterday the little one was given some cough drops and while playing about the house fell to the floor One of the drops which the child had placed in its mouth lodged in the trachea and for a time it was thought that the child would choke to death. Dr. C. A. Haines was summoned and succeeded in dis lodging the drop before any serious barm had been done. Mrs Gei- singer, the child's mother, was for merly a resident of Sayre. oS —— WOMAN CONFESSED Mrs. Smith Tubbs, the woman who was arrested with William Ferris on a charge of stealing a horse and wagon, was taken to Ithaca and yesterday confessed to all she knew concerning the crime. Ferris and the Tubbs woman were apprehended in Sayre by Chief Walsh. The latter induced them to go to Waverly and in that place both were placed under arrest. A man named Leach who was with them, was also arrested but he sat isfied the New York state authori- ties that he had nothing to do with the matter and was released. The horse and wagon were stolen from parties who live near Dryden. The woman has also been releas- ed from custody on the promise that she would remain in Ithaca and appear as a witness against Ferris. FISHERMAN'S LUCK We went fishing with him once. He cast his hook into a deep and dark pool, just where yoy may ex- pect the fish to lurk. He let it stay there almost a minute, and then pulled it out and began to reel up his line. “There ain't a fish in the whole durned stream,” he said, and he went home = The rest of us remained, and each car- ried home a string of fish. We had had patience, and waited or § a nibble. Afterwards the same|3 fellow put an advertisement in the | § local paper for one week, and then | quit the whole business. He said advertising didn’t pay. =~ Dushore | Review, QUINN WAS DRUNK Patrick Quinn, a laborer, who | has been working on the ice here! for a week or 50, was arrested last! night by Chief Walsh charged with | bbe SEPP E PEEP EP PPP E000 00000000000 00 00H EPPS 00 $2 0 EPP PIES POPES OE LAA ALA LA ASS SS EARLS up by the officer and this morning | when arraigned pleaded hard for leniency.
