As the sun melted the snow here‘. aha there a dozen or so pieces or gold ap- peared. which were taken in. and a: last every piece was recovered. Then withdnt a word to 'the landlord they went down the mountain Into Italy; The merchant consented. and they remained where they were, one or the other being outside all day to watch both,the ground and the landtord to P‘t‘iedrich’s first impulse was to ac- cuse the landlord Emew. fortified by this proof. but he was not used to act- ing on impulse. Instead. he went to the merchant. told him what he had found and suggested that the thief had buried the gold in different places un- der the ”snow and it they waited till the sun uncovered the ground they might recover it all. The inn stood on a southern expo- sure which in summer was free from snow, but though it was now getting thin the. ground, or, rather, the rock on which it stood. was still covered. The day had been very Warm, and since the departure ot'the two men‘ln the morning the sun, shining through the thin atmosphere. had left several bare spots. Friedrich just before sunset Went out on the ledge. where thexltal- ianisunset was spread out before him. to think of some plan for finding the gold which he believed the landlord had hidden. While sitting there wa- ter was trickling from. the melting snow. Before arising to return to the Inn 3 space had been uncovered and. looking down beside him. he saw what at first he believed to be a yellow stone but on closer inspection proved to he a gold coin. The landlord was much agitated at this, for in those days criminals were usually put to the torture to make them confess. However. he stuck to his denial. claiming that the coin found in the guidc’s room was proof positive that he was the thief. Sohm was so grateful that he offer. ed to forgive Friedrich the theft of his gold provided he would return one- half of it. Friedrirh still insisted that he knew nothing about the money. that the landlord must have stolen it and proposed that they return to the inn and investigate the matter. To this the merchant consented. and they retraced their steps. When they reached the inn they accused the landlord of the theft and declared that it he did not restore the property a constable would be brought to take him where he would be tried. It was the month of May, when the snow in the Alps is melting. and in certain parts of the journey the guide and the merchant traveled Joined by a rope. In passing over a narrow path where on one side was a precipice the snow gave way and the merchant would have gone down with it had not the guide braced himself so firmly as to save him. 1n the morning the merchant made a great ado about his loss. and the landlord suggested that be search the guide’s room. Of course a piece of gold was found on the floor. Fried- rich protested his innocence. but was unable to make the merchant believe that be was not the thief. The guide consented to continue the journey to Lugano. where he would give himself up. preferring this course to being a fugitive and an outlaw. A.“ day guide'and man toiled up the mountain and in the evening rested at an inn on the imlian side. The merchant carried his gold in a leather bag sewed to a belt at his waist. When he entered the inn and the land- lord conducted him to his room Sohm tossed his bag on a table, causing the gold pieces inside to give out the sound of coins. This excited the cupidity of the landlord. and during the night. when the merchant was asleep. he stole into the room and took his gold. Then. _ v - _.__ “â€"â€" -VV'I- “I- bvlw ‘ "cu. 1n orfie} to avert suspicion. he opened the dpor to the guide’s room and drag ped one of the coins on the floor. Tell is supposed to have shot the appg tram his son’s head, in the village of Altdort, where he flourished. lived a young Swiss named Friedrich Sohifl His occupation was to guide persons over the St. Gothard pass down into northern Italy. then bring others back to Lucerne. Friedrich loved and was loved by a young girl named Agatha. and they were only waiting till he had made one more trip orer‘the pass to be married. Then he was intending to build a boat on the Lake or the Four Cantons in which to carry passengers back and forth between Fleweln and Lucerne. ' One day came Leonardo Morelll. a Florentine who had been to Paris with some Jewels which he had sold and was taking back the gold he had re- ceived for them. He engaged Fried- rich to conduct him across the pass to the point on the Italian side where now is the mouth of the tunnel. whence he could proceed by road to Lugano. The passes in the Swiss mountalns have doubtless been used by man ever since he began to travel. but in former times they were crossed very different- ly from the present.

It is better to not use the first few eggs a goose lays. The better way to incubate is under Plymouth Rock or Wyandotte hens. ed corn and wheat at night. For green feed give the geese all they want of steamed clover, alfalfa or cooked vege- tables. Keep oyster shell and water always before them. There is practically no difference in the markings of the different sexes. There is a diu'erence in the general appearance of the head. The gander has a coarser neck.‘ Also is there a diflerence in the noise they make when calling or disturbed. A successful poultry keeper must be a good observ- er. This is of more real value and will help solve more problems than can well be explained. A good feed mixture is equal parts, by weight. of bran. mlddlings. corn- meal and 7 per cent or beef scrap. A light feeding of this should be given in the morning and a feeding of crack- eggs are used until the second year of the life of a goose. ‘ Breeding geese may have some grain. but in some localities, notably the grain belt. it seems that farmers can- not keep trom overfeeding everything with grain, from a fowl to the hogs. The natural feed for geese is grass and clover or alfalfa. or silage, it you have it, is excellent. 9t .is a very simple matter to care for geese in the winter.
