Does Duck Mako You selnshs

culiar gluttony in the average good fell

development for years among my friends
and acquaintance. Just drop into a

the shooting season opens. II you see a
fellow hiding over in a corner, his eye
balls cleaning like cannibal's over a
young missionary on the fire-why, he's

qualities, addicted to table fellowship

They steal of like a dog with fresh
bone, ard you can almost hear a growl
from the greedy beast if You go too close
to that bird. Take that fellow 36O days
in the year and you'll find him angling
for some other good fellow to share a

alone. Now, want to know why the
succulent duck should arouse this un.
canny instinct in a social specimen Of

MR. HOODS LAST CARD
Mr.. Hood said in reference to the pc
titions brought forward by the advo-
Gates of San Pedro that IL this were a
, court of law and the witnesses under
oath they would have stated what they
knew, not what they thought. AS far
ais petitions go, the Southern Pacific has
a contempt for them ard he used the
word contempt advisedly. e.
He had asked Mr.. Springer to look
the matter up and see who these peo-
pie We're who had signed these petit
tions. Mr.. Hood had found them to be
clerks and farmers, but few business
men and shippers. Here Admiral Walk
er interrupted the speaker and said that
there was nothing to rebut ir petitions
that he could see.
Mr. Hood, however, insisted on giving
the summary of these nobodys-in par
ticular who signed said petitions, which
he would file with the board. He humbly
thanked the chairman for not allowing
him to read the names, so great is Mr..
Hoods contempt for petitions. He can
see no case for argument in ascertaina-
BILE facts Any feeling or unfairness
manifested against the corporation he
represents caused Mr.. Hood deep regret,
and he hoped that the time will come
when all who have said or thought
these hard things will feel more kind
ly. He thanked the board for their
patience in listening to the advocates
Of Port Los Angeles. and extended pro-
found thanks to the friends of San Pedro
for testifying against his harbor site. In
short. Mr.. Hood seemed to be thank
full that he had been allowed to remain
on earth.
Port Los Angeles, he said, exists and
always will exist. He thought it utterly
ridiculous to sum up evidence before
the board, and he would disclaim the re-
sponsibility for summing up technicali-
ties. This closed the testimony in re-
buttal for Santa Monica.
