THE WOOD DUCKS FIRST SWIM.


How the Mother Gets the Little Ones
From the Nest to the Water.
A few miles from my home there is
lake that has for years been the abiding
place of a colony of wood ducks. / have
spent hours along the shores watching
these pretticst of water fowls The wood
duck has one popularity not possessed
by other members of the duck family
it builds its home high up in the cavity
of some decayed limb, usually one that
juts out over the water.
The eggs, from seven to l8 in num-
Der, are creamy white in color House
keeping is begun in May, and the young
are ready to leave the nest early in June
was curious to know how the little
ducks reach the water from their lofty
homes. ] had often seen them, when
hardly clear Of their shell, swimming
about with their mother and felt CON
WINGED that they never could have left
home unaided.
One bright June morning fortune IA
vored me l had rowed along the lake
shore to pay visit to houseful Of
noisy red wing blackbirds. My boat was
lying motionless among the tall cat
tails that fringed the shores of the lake
Suddenly heard "A loud splash behind
me, and turning to look ] saw ON the
water short distance away, just shak-
ing the spray from her wings, female
wood duck and near her two tiny yellow
balls, so small that they resembled wa
ter lilies floating ON the surface.
The old bird took wing, lowered and
circled above her babies for few min
utes and then flew to cavity in tall
tree, short distance away. In short
time the male bird, arrayed in the hand
soonest of plumage, Joined his mate
Then for few minutes l could hear a
soft cooling noise, which reminded me of
husband and wife discussing some i'm
portant point relative to the welfare of
their children.
The cooling soon stopped and the moth

home. Then she dropped toward the wa
ter at a slight angle. AS her breast
struck the surface she Immediately
dived, and where her body had been i

swimming about as mconcerned as
though they had been travelling in the
water for years.
The routine of flying TO the nest was
repeated four times in rapid succession,
and each time it resulted in an addition

The Damages Were Light.

The wife Of prominent dentist in the
uity was called to the door the other day
TO respond to the appeal of a tramp who
wanted pecuniary assistance for some
temporary requirements. Being averse to
giving aims, she told him that 1t was
against her principles to give money for
nothing, but that II he would clean the
snow of the rather long sidewalk she
would compensate him for his labor to the
extent of 40 cents. The tramp promptly
undertook the contract, and after about
half an hour Of good work went to the
lady and received his payment and went
away apparently satisfied About two
weeks afterward the same tramp called
at the same house and demanded brusque-
ly to see the lady Of the house. 1t hap
pened that the doctor was at home on this
occasion, and his wife was out. So he
went to the door and asked what was
wanted.
81 want to see the lady of the house, I"
said the tramp.
"but am her husband. Won't | do as
wellf What do you wantS'
swell, it's just this way; ! came here
two weeks ago, and cleaned of your side
walk, and / strained my side 30 that
haven't been able TO do any work since,
and want to know what you are going
to do about itf''
"What am l going to do about itS'
questioned the doctor, taken nback by the
mans effrontery. "What do you expect
me to do about itS"
~ want you to give me something for
what l have suffered by straining my
side, and as this is u matter for damages
| want to settle 1t at once"
The doctor slowly sized the man up as
he was delivering the last remark, and
then, taking handful of silver out of his
pocket, he jingled it thoughtfully for II
minute as If calculating and said;
swell, how would 10 cents strike you'"
"That's all right, burst out the tramp
eagerly. "Gimme it. Thanks" and he
ambled off perfectly satisfied, leaving the
doctor chuckling and much relieved at the
settlement of u prospective suit for dam
ages.-Washington Post.
