The Doctors Duck Fran.

Several years ago DIR. Gimp fell a
victim 10 second adventism. Not far
from the back of his kitchen he built
a platform some twenty feet high and
capable of holding his entire family.
Here they were to gather aud prepare
to ascend when Gabriel blew his horn.
But Gabriel didn't come. and Mrs.
Gimp dried apples on the platform all
summer. In the fall G,mb. thinking
to help things along, made big horn
alnu ten feet long and four feet across
the big end. He polished the inside
of It till il was bright, painted the out.
side green, and hung it in big tree
aver the platform. Gabriel didn't
blow however, aud in the spring,
when the wild ducks commenced 10

horn due south, set the lighted dip in
the little end. Then be sighted the

duck flew into his horn and went like
shot through the kiichen window.
The duck was flying so fast that he
didn't burn hlnSeli ar put out the

seven ducks went through that horn
nineteen of them canvass backs Every

the born would give loud iooi, and
Gimp would wake up aud screech: /:

into the kitchen and find it was only
another duck. You see what made
the horn blow was the scraping OF the
canvas on the ducks backs.
