a First class Troupe.

The Payton Comedy Co. concludad a
successful engagement of three nights at
the U. S. hall in Jacksonville, on Satur-
day evening. It is strong one, being
composed of competent artists headed by
Senator and Lucy Payton, whose abil-
tiles are well known. On Thursday
evening "The Gold King" a popular
comedy was admirably presented
to fair-sized audience. The excellence
of the performance brought out a much
larger crowd on Friday, to witness the
charming rendition of t'Noble Outcast," T"
play full of pathos and abounding in
thrilling situations. East Lynne was
put on at the Saturday matinee, to the
satisfaction of many ladies and children.
and the engagement closed that evening
with the production of "Uncle Joshua
Whltcomb,' - when the hall was again
we'll filed. The last proved fitting
finale to the company's engagement, be-
ing 80 well performed that Landlord
DeRoboam entertained serious fears for
the safety of his roof. The singing al
ways gained an encore, while D. E.
Curtis topical songs and Lloyd Fansher's
sentimental ballads came in for liberal
share of appreciation. The Times space
is too limited to give the notice due each
individual member of the troupe. Suf-
fee it to say that they are all clever and
painstaking, and received their full
need of praise. The orchestra and band
which accompanies them is also more
than average in ability, and aided
materially in the good impression left
by the Paytons.-Jacksonvil Times.
This celebrated troupe will appear al
the opera house here for the first time
Monday evening next, and will play fol
six successive nights. Matinee Satur-
day afternoon. Reserved seats al
Blakeley & Houghton's. A feature O
che show Monday night will be the ad
mission of two persons on each reserved
seat ticket.

She Ate Eight Mnllon Ducks.


Dick Closter recently figured out a
proposition by which in few years he
could make a fortune, and with his
usual energy. at once went to work to
get the scheme to operating. Dicks
idea was duck ranch. He figured that
good duck, with the maternal instinct,
well developed, would, with a few bot
ties of 'Swellin's food,' be able to
hatch and care for two broods of duck
lings in year. Each brood would con-
tain six ducks and six dudes. Each of
the six ducks would in turn hatch two
broods, so that at the end of the second
year, not allowing anything for Infan-
tile duck diseases, he would have, with
starter of one pair, 156 ducks and 156
brakes. Keeping the ducks and selling
the brakes, the third year he would have
2,040 ducks, and also 1872 brakes
for sale. The fourth year he would
have $500 ducks, and for sale "a ,4So
brakes. He had estimated that the
sale Of the brakes would pay all running
expenses, so that each year his ducks
would be left as clear profit. At the
OAA Va bAG AAOn yOdI bllO OQCkS hOu1Q
number S44, ,760, and the brakes, which,
of course, he would sell, would be 3lS,-
240. The sixth year he would have
4, ,1S1 $50 ducks and 1887 ,I20 brakes, or
total of S,O19,000. These Dick would
sell at So per dozen, a conservative
price, and would retire from business
with $1,000, ,750, which any one will ad-
nit is handsome sum to be accumu-
lated in six years from one dozen duck
eggs as the original capital.
Last week Dick purchased a round
dozen duck eggs of the Clydesdale
brand and took them home to begin the
creation of his fortune; but an unex-
pected difficulty arouse. None of Dick g
hens showed any inclination to set, and
of course time was too valuable to be
wasted. Dick put the eggs in a nice
nice nest in barrel, and then captured
a hen and enclosed her with them; but
the old proVerb says zone man may
lead horse to water, but ten men can't
make him drink" Dick found the
\ same rule true among the gallinacepus
thirds, for his old hen set standing, and
lrefused utterly and emphatically to
work. She was on an individual strike,
A and would not listen to reason. She
scorned the eggs, she refused to set un.
less it was on her own terms, or rather,
to be more correct, on her own lay.
i Dick, knowing the perverseness of the
sex, yielded to the inevitable and began
to look around for some other mother
for the ducklings. He had dog, but
he was of the yellow, short-haired vari.
!, ETY., and not a setter. The COW, the
horse and a pet lamb were all considered
as to their possibilities as incubators
and all dismissed from the calculation.
By this time Dick was getting wild
and had about come to the conclusion
he would have to do the setting himself
indeed it is said that he had begun *
cluck when he got up in the morning
when he discovered that an old COOS,
had deposited two eggs in her nest anc
had commenced to incubate. Dick wal
happy, and at once placed his dozel

that the rules concerning the use of
