A POETS DEFENCE.
The Dead Duck WAS Guilty, and Eugene
Field Proved IT,

A few years ago the late Eugene Field
and Stanley Waterloo went duck hunting
on Murdoch lake, near St Louis. Ducks
were rather scarce and very shy, and the
two hunters spent the day without over
burdening their game bags Al length
they decided to separate, in the hope that
each might drive the ducks within range
of the other. Waterloo padded up the lake
and Field down
Late in The afternoon Waterloo banged
away at flock of mallards and brought
one down The wounded duck, however,
was not seriously disabled, and before it
could be bagged rose and went wabbling
down the lake toward Field and dropped
within easy range Of the poets gun among
a number of tame ducks which belonged to
a neighboring farmhouse.
Field rested his gun across the bow of
his boat and let both barrels go. The
mallard went flying away. The tame ducks
set up quaoking and padded ashore-all
but one One of the farmers pets had re-
ceiyed it's quietus
The farmer himself didn't like it, and
after indulging in certain emphatic re-
marks we'll calculated to impress the err
ing Nimrod with the enormity of his Of
tense began throwing stones and invit-
ing him to come ashore and fight Field
padded out of stones throw and began to
parley. The farmer wanted dollar for
the duck.
"How do you figure that2'' queried the
poet
"Do you mean to deny that you killed
my duck herep'' demanded the granger.
"That's true enough said Field, "but
where does the responsibility really be-
long?'
sI don't understand you. :"
"Why, that duck of yours was particeps
criminis. That's what it was"
81 don't care what you call it, but I
want dollar for the duck just the same"
"Well, now, see here,'' insisted Field,
"you must acknowledge that your water
fowl was at least guilty of contributory
negligence. Instead of keeping away from
me while 1 was cunning for ducks, that
misguided fowl deliberately invited death
by getting right in front of my gun just
as I was about to terminate the earthly
existence of mallard. "
The farmer was dazed into silence.
sit looks to me like clear case Of sui
eide. I'll wager you hadn t fed that poor,
heartsick, discouraged duck for month.
No wonder it found existence intolerabla
under such circumstances and embraced
the first opportunity to escape from a
thraldom worse than death. / suppose
ought to charge you with cruelty to ami
mails and have you arrested, but have nc
disposition to deal harshly with you. II
you'll pay me for the ammunition and the
time have wasted with you, I'm willing
to call the matter square and you may
keep the duck"
But the farmer shook his head and fed.

Eyelashes Made to Order.

particularly novel about 1T, :" said the blond
young woman, who was asked for infor-
nation. I've have done this sort of work
for months. -
"And have you many patrons in that
line0''
'Not SO many as we have in the other
branch of our business-the removal Of
hair or wrinkles by means of electricity
but stin we have some. -
And then she explained the process of
making artificial eyelashes IN exceeding
" delicate little instrument Is used 1t
consists of needle operated through a
spring by means Of the finger. At one end
Of the needle is hair inserted. When the
operator is ready to work on the person,
she takes the eyelid between two fingers
on tho left hand. The needle is then thrust
into the heshy part Of the eyelid, as close
to the eye as possible, and the tiny hairs
are actually sewed on.
Eyelashes thus manufactured are war
ranted to last two weeks without repairs
OF course, the process hurts the patient
but what woman will not willingly SUBJ

Intense Conservatism Is Their Distinguish
ing Quality.
zone of the most distinguishing quail
ties of the creole is his conservatism, -
writes Rutt, McEnery Stuart in The La
dies Home Journal "His family tradi-
tions are Of obedience and respect. 1t be-
gins in his church and ends in his wine
cellar. He cares not for protesting faiths
or new vintages. His religion and his
wines are matters of tradition. Good
enough for his ancestors, are they not good
enough for him and his children His
most delightful home is situated behind a
heavy battened gate, somber and forbid
ding in its outward expression, asking
nothing OF the passing world, protecting
every sacredness within The creole lives
for his family-in 1t.
The gentle old dame, his greataunt,
perhaps, and nenains to half his children,
after living her sheltered and contented
life of threescore and ten years behind the
great green gate that opens as creaking
event at the demand of the polished brass
knooker, will tell you with beautiful
pride that she has never been on the Amer
lean side of her own eity-aboye Canal

to her inland garden, WITHIN her courtyar

less you present unquesoionable creden-
tials-if she will call her stately tignoned
negress, Madelaine, Celeste, Marie or zu-
lime, who answers her in her own tongue,
to fetch chair for you into the court be-
side the oleander tree and the Grape myrtle
if, seeing you seated, she bid the maid
of the tignon to further serve you with
orange flower strip Or thimble glasses Of
liqueur or anisette from a shining old sill
yer tray, you will, perhaps. feel that the
great battened door has been, indeed, a
conserver of good old ways, and that its
Office is a worthy one in preserving the
sweet favor of a picturesque hospitality,
whose old world fragrance is still unspoil-
ed by innovations and untainted by emu
lation or contact.
