1 Goose Put Forward as
Canada's National Bird
Canadian naturalists hare been coo
centra ting on tbo choosing of a nation
al bird for Canada to. commemorate tha
'diamond jnbllee of confederation. Mr.
'J. Miner, an authority on bird lift,
glees bis rote to tbo Canadian goose,
(Which ho describes as "the noblest
creature that erer HrlB on land, to
fair, or to the water."
' Wild geeae, he says, pair off tor
life. Tha male guards his mate on tbo
ineat As soon as tbo young hatch he
protects them from the opposite side
of tha mother, keeping the babies
between the parents. Be will lea re Ms
'family for bis mate, and tor her only,
bat he will die for any of them. When
trarellng In the air tbo male Canada
.goose leads the way, breaking the air
'for bis mate, who is quartering be
hind him, and his family trarel next
to bar.
L. "In briet" says Mr. Miner, "ho to
one of tbo most self-sacrificing, godly
prlndpled leaders the human eye ever
beheld, and to know him is to lore
and admire Mm."

as a wet place, It seen? that the beat

Indies of rain In JM boons. In France,
however, there was a shower at Jop
east which cheeked out at SI J 7 inches
In the same time. At Genoa, the best
rain was 88 Inches for a day's Job.

"Charge of die Light' I
Brigade"
! ana
Br HELEN a BARTON
<OoprrI?hL>
??Y '8KB. ?U," mused the somewhat
' fa moos Ralph Curtis, T come up
here to hibernate with you only wheu
the dty and my profession become
.too much for my feeble Intellect.'* And
Ralph blew smoke rings of costly Im
ported pipe tobacco toward the cob- '
webby rafters of Rusty Curtis' "barn"
as she called the vast old wooden
structure that she had Inherited from
her grandmother some ten years be
fore. / ,
"Well, Slim," challenged Rusty, ,
"why disparage, then? If It's a haven {
of refuge when matrimony, patrimony
and alimony become too much of a 1
burden?" ? 11
"Hey I Hey I Nobody said anything
about alimony," Interposed the genial ?
cartoonist "But fort the same, I
can't even rusticate with you, Sis, un
less yon Indulge In a few modern con
veniences. And you know quite well
that Til go flfty-flfty with you."
So that was what started the charge
of-the light brigade, aa Rusty humor
ously described the small army of
electricians who, after Sllm's tem
porary return to New York, invaded
her mountain retreat.
But for once, the^prlng of^ the New
England mountains was disturbed by
other than Zbym splashing noiftfy
down the brook pursuing bold trout,
the plaintive rebuke of a hoot-owl, or
the whispering magic of a whip-poor
will. The alienee of years of vast
solitude was broken by the ring of
axes as trees were cut, poles set and
wires strung from the main power
line two miles below the "Bam" up
the steep, winding mountain trail-road.
And a gang of rollicking, merry, care
free electricians sang, whistled,
laughed and foked as they advanced
steadily through the calm mountain.
Plumbers were at work piping a
mountain spring down to tbe bam and
? shower bath and running water
were Installed, awaiting only the nec
essary electricity to run the motors
and supply the "power."
The third week that the electricians
were at work. Rusty began to worry
a bit over expenses. She had figured
the fob to last ten days at the most,
and here were almost twenty-five
days gone already! And broaching
her fears to the tall, bronsed "boss" of
the gang, Rusty bent her troubled
gase down the serene, quiet valley.
"One man and a helper could fin
ish, ma'am," briefly answered the stal
win dobs.
"Oh, if you'd only tojd me!" gasped
Hnsty. "I wag Just wondering If the
Mil wag coins to be too dreadfully
high!" And the girt compelled her
eye* to meet those of the yontbfnl
boas, and she was startled by the dis
covery, that never before had she seen
eye* so blue.
1 could And out, ma'am; how much
were you figuring on 7"
"Well . . . not t*o dreadfully much;
I haven't such a large bank account
This business of finding and keeping
health Isn't exactly a job for a starv
ing orphan 1"
"Are yeu," Inquired the boss softly,
gaslng down at ber down-bent rusty
head with a strange softness In his
blue eye*, "a starving orphan, ma'am?"
"Don't" gasped Busty, fighting an
almost uncontrollable desire to laugh,
"ever call me ma'am again! My name
Is Miss Curtis r
"Evasion Is a feminine word In
French . . drawled the Irrepres
sible boss softly, delighting In the
swift color that flooded the gill's
face.
"Ob net I'm not starving, and I
have one brother. Does that answer
your question satisfactorily?" bantered
Busty mischievously.
Next day. Busty received ber bill
from the light company, and It was
signed by the late president's own
?on, Howard T>. Hunt In dismay, the
girl hastened out t* the line where
the rangy young "boss" was busy do
ing the finl*hlng-up process of con
necting the barn with the power line
before turning on the power.
"There must be some mistake. Do
you know who this Mr. Hunt Is?" be
gan Busty with worried eyes fixed
upon the Mil rendered for a mere hun
dred dollars. "There were ten men
working three weeks, and two men
eleven, day*?and Tm sure this Mr.
Hunt has made a mistake!"
Dawson carefully snipped a bit of
loose wire and exercised an unusual
amount of attention on the taping of
. a joined wire before he began to
, descend the pole slowly and carefully.
. Busty watched his decent with un
, feigned admiration, although she'did
, not think he was aware of her scru
i tiny.
p "What makes yon think tMa Hunt
i chap Is In error?" demanded Dawson
? with twinkling eyes.
"Common sense would tell anyone
that the bill should be more than
that I" began Busty when the other
helper called; "Oh, Mr. Hunt, O. K.
en that number three wire?"
Busty turned accusing eye* upon
' her benefactor; eyes misted over as
; she realised la a flash the whole sltu
