Active steps are being taken for the
erection of magnificent building for
college purposes by the Augustana soci-

ALL ABOUT A DUCK.
How a Married Man Turned the Tables
on the Boys.

Saturday quite an amusing incident
occurred that created considerable laugh
ter among those who were posted. II
seems that certain well known Young
married man is very fond of baked ducks,
and the thought entered his head to pur-
chase one for his Sunday dinner. He
went into pubic place on Second ave
nue., where he met several of his young
| friends, to whom he confided the secret,
about the nice dinner be was going to
have on the morrow. During the con-
versation the duck was laid on a chair
near by, the m. m, little dreaming that
his friends were concocting a scheme
to get the much admired duck.
While his back was turned how
ever, one of the party grabbed the fowl,
and made away with it. He gave it to a
small boy with instructions to take it to Il
certain restaurant, where he was taking
his meals, and ordered a duck supper for
three. Meanwhile the m. m found that
he had been robbbd of his duck, and on
inquiry he learned from an outsider what
had transpired, and made up his mind to
beat the boys" if possible. His horse
and buggy were standing at the door, and
he hastily drove to the restaurant, and
asked the proprietor if Mr.--had not
ordered duck supper for three. He was
informed in the affirmative, whereupOn
he told the polite restaurateur that the
young gentlemen had changed their
minds, and would not be there for sup
per, and gave him permission 10 take the
duck home for his Sunday dinner.
you arrived just in time, for had you
been minute later, the duck would have
been in the oven, said the man.
The m. m. chuckled to himself as he
hid the duck under his lap robe, and drove
down street where me met the young man
who had ordered duck supper for three. "
He gave him to understand that he was
not at all pleased with the joke that had
been perpetrated on him. After this
| lecture the young man felt somewhat
ashamed of himself and he determined to
make amends for his conduct. He ac-
cordingly started out in search of duck,
but not being able to find one, purchased
two chickens and ordered them to be
sent to the IN. ms house. Along
six o'clock, he invited two of his acquain-
tances to take supper with him. and the
trio sauntercd down to the restaurant, as
the young man thought of the delicious
supper that was in waiting for them, and
congratulating himself upon the manner
in which he had sold the married man
A look of surprise came over his counte
nance, however, when he was informed
that the married man had been there anG
recovered his duck, and that no supper
had been prepared for them. He rushed
to the telephone, and calling up the house
where he had bought the chickens sale
Don't send those chickens down tt
] Mr.. The answer came back that thel
had been sent down half an hour before
which news was too much for the young
man to bear, and he then and there
solemuly vowed never to attempt to play
another joke, unless he was sure of gettinl
the best If it.
The married man and his vile enjoyed
their Sunday dinner very much, and tn
chickens, which they dined or today wer
pronounced the very best ever tasted
