began to suffer with the colic just
about 43 years ago, we just wonder
how thet f'oose hns stood the racket
this long. Had we the body of a goose,'
instead of the brain of a goose, we ,
would have shaken off this mortal (
coil long, long hence, and our downy
locks would now be safely stored in
some one’s mattress. Surely, that
goose is a tough old bird or she would
have b^en potted right after the Civil

paying the price. You must pay the
price if you want success and the
price of success is the habit of thrift.
