Mrs. Durkee's
Christmas Gander
By Martha B. Thomas
MRS. DURKEE had a gander, a
fine strong bird with ttn«
strong wings. Wherever Mrs.
Durkee went the gander went, too.
Some years ago a goose egg had
been given to Mrs. Durkee. It was a
very large egg and ready to hatch,
but a fox had killed the mother goose.
It should make, when hatched and
grown up, a fine Christmas dinner!
Just as Mrs. Durkee prepared a nest
for It, the shell cracked and out popped
a head with very surprised eyes. From
that moment the gosling and Mrs. Dur
kee became friends. She no more
thought of him in
terms of roasting
than she would
think of a neighbor
in that unkind man
ner.
The widow lived
alone and as the
gander grew to man
hood (so to speiik),
she depended more
and more on him.
Sometimes at night
she would rouse him
and he would un
tuck his head from
his wing and escort
her forth under a wintry moon.
And now, at the Christmas season.
Gander was In full plumage and of a
stern temper.
Christmas eve she sat alone by her
kitchen tire, and there came a knock
at the door. A man stood there and
before she could speak pushed his way
In. Seeing no one about, he ordered
her to bring him bread and coffee and
meat She brought the man what he
asked, and when he had eaten he said.
"Now, give me all your money and
I'll go with no trouble."
"No," said Mrs. Durkee. "I will not!"
Out came his tist and she just
escaped a hard cuff on the head. She
was angry enough to fight but Instead
went to her pantry. "I keep money In
a Jug here," she said and Jingled some
coins. At the same time she softly
raised the window and whistled.
"Hey . . . come on with the cash!
I'm In a hurry!"
"Yes. yes . . . some has stuck In the
bottom." She made a great to-do at
jingling. Then she heard a sleepy
"Honk-Honk J" Her heart lifted.
"I have a few bills tucked behind
the cookie Jar," she added. "Let me
get those." (Anything to take up time!)
She came slowly Into the kitchen.
"Here Is your money," she said. "Oh.
dear, I do believe some one Is at the
door. Take It quick!" She threw the
coins at the man, and opened the door.
In stalked the gander ready for any
thing.
The man shoved out his foot as If
to kick him. In a moment, hissing and
nipping. ttu» great bird seemed to sur
round the man with heavy beating
wings. The harder the unwelcome
guest tried to escape the harder he
was beaten back. At last, crouching
and fending off the blows, he fled
through the door . . . scattering coins
all the way. The wad of bills had
merely been a piece of make-believe.
The door slammed and the lonely
widow sat down in a chair and laughed
and laughed and laughed. The gander
stood beside her, looking dignified and
preening his ruffled feathers.
"I'd rather have you for a frleod."
cried Mrs. Durkee, "than all the roast
ducks, turkeys and geese In the world.
Merry Christmas . ..! and I'll give yon
some fresh lettuce this minute."
The gander's bright eyes roved
about the room, and he followed Mrs.
Durkee Into the pantry.

Y As Christmas draws near and as 1935 draws to a close, we
H pause for a moment to think seriously of life, of what it
Y means to us . .. of its joys and of its sorrows.
jy One of the great joys of life, as we see it, is its friendships. A
Jj true friend is a valued possession.
T What is t: ue cf our personal lives is also true of our business
M lives. We like to feel that there is a spirit of friendship un
y derlying each business transaction.
We like to think of our customers as our friends. We like to
3J ' value our business friendships as we value our personal
friendships.
« As an expression, therefore, of our genuine appreciation of
y your friendship and all that it has meant to us, we wish you
and those whom you love, a joyful Christmas Season and
& a New Year brim full of good things.
