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. ARTHUR,

Recently Mrs John Geisinger
of Wilkes-Barre came here to visit
her sister, bringing with her her
threesyear-old child. 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.

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 |
