A gentleman out shooting one day came to a river, where he saw six geese beyond shot He determined to wait for them to approach the shore. While sitting there he saw a fox come down to the shore and stand some time and observe the geese. At length he turned and went into the woods, and came out with a very large bunch of moss in his mouth. He then entered the water very silently, sank himself, and then, keeping the moss above the water, himself concealed, he floated among the geese. Suddenly one of them was drawn under the water, and the fox soon appeared on the shore with tne goose on his back. He ascended the bank, and found a hole made by the tearing up of a tree. This hole he cleared, placed in it the goose, and covered it with great care, strewing leaves over it. The fox then left; and while he was away the hunter unburied the gooso, closed the hole, and resolved to wait the issue. In about half an hour the fox returned with another fox in company. They went directly to the place where the goose had been buried, and threw out the earth. The goose could not be found. They stood regarding each other for some time, when suddenly the second fox attacked the other most furiously, as if offended by the trick of his friend. During the battle the hunter 3hot them both. Cleveland Leader. TIIE LUCKY APPLE MAN. One fine morning Kistg George II. of England took a ride abroad in the direction of Hyde Park. Falling in with a man who kept an apple stall, and whose clothes bespoke the old soldier, the King began to talk to him. The King soon learned that his name was Allen and that he had taken part in the battle of Dettingen, in which it is believed his Majesty distinguished himself. Of course, the King was delighted, and, on parting asked what service he could do him. Please, your Majesty, give me a grant of the bit of land on which my hut stands and III Be happy, the King mabe happy. jestically replied, and the apple man was happy. So was his son, trained to be a lawyer, for when in the course of nature old Allen died the land was supposed to be crown land, and, as such, was let to a nobleman, who forthwith caused a mansion to be raised on the spot. Then young Allen thought it time to put in a word. Being a sprig of the law, he knew a thing or two and gave them no peace until he received the sum of 450, or $2,250, yearly as ground rent. Upon this site now stands Apsley house, which the English people presented to the Duke of Wellington in 1820 as a small token of their esteem and re- gard. The longest pipe line in the United States is to be built from Wyoming to Salt Lake City. |
