WE THANK

our friends for their liberal patronage to US in
1895, and at the same time desire to call
their attention 10 our stock for 1896. We
have kept better line of goods the past
twelve months than we have ever had. and
the ready sale Of the fine wares we have had,
assures US that all the people here require is
a good stock and low prices to keep them
from buying in Washington. We buy our
goods direct from manufacturers in the home
markets and abroad. We therefore get them
at the lowest prices and are confident We can
sell as low as the largest houses in big cities
We do not offer you an inferior article at
low price 10 induce you to purchase some
thing else at an enormous profit, but en-
deayor at all times to give you full dollars
worth of goods that our guarantee can go
along with. During this year we promise to
carry a finer line of goods than ever before,
and all we ask is visit and comparison Of
prices before you buy. At present We have a
number OF articles that We have greatly re-
duced prices on to make room for SPRING
STOCK which will he arriving in February,
and would respectfully request visit and in
spection Of these goods. Again thanking you
for your patronage, We remain,

BALLAST FROM DUCKS.


Scientific Discovery THAT Eiucldated q
Pulling Mystery.
Few people credit a duck with the
sense he really Possesses" said Fred
Ozenne, disciple OF Ninlrod For
years had been wondering what had
caused the presence OF a good-sized peb-
bic bank on the shore of the lake ia the
Grandivola section OF the Louisiana
marsh. Had it been a sand bank i could
Lave understood it. but it was composed
OF pebbles, all very much alike. rounded
and smooth almost 70 a size, and appar-
emily differing from the small stones
found IN the gravel beds OF the south.
Several of the hunters in that section
had seen the pebble beach and, like my
self, they could not understand it. An
winter long it seemed fresher than at
other times, and during the summer
the grass would kinder cover its upper
portion and the mud from the fresh
water dim the luster of the stones near
the edge. There was not another beach
like it in the marsh.
"One winter, in fact, it was lust when
the first cold spell had struck us, / was
hunting with friend in the lake |
spoke Of. 1t was one of the finest duck
ing spots in the state This was before
they had begun to make glue from the
eggs in Canada. When we reached the
lake there was not duck to be seen.
The next morning ! was hiding in the
grass near the pebble beach when /
heard sound of wings and large flock
Of mallard settled near me. Before /
could raise my gun the entire LOT walked
cut on the pebble bank, and to my aston
ishment, began to disgorge a lot OF
small stones like the ones already there.
This occupied but a short time, and the
flock began quaeking and sailed into the
lake, and | shot several THIS settled
the mystery of the pebble beach. In
the spring | was again hunting in the
lake. When the first warm veal hercame
the ducks began 60 go home. They
would come to the beach. and after a
few preliminaries swallow a lot Of peb-
bles, then fly around for a minute in
order to see if their balance was all
right. II they We're too heavy they
would disgorge a few stones, or. if too
light swallow half-dozcn more.
Il found by observation that in order
for the ducks to make long flights it
was necessary 70 them to fiji up with
a certain number Of stones to secure (
proper equilibrium Tor the return trip.
After | found this out | always had
plenty of game to show my friends."-
