THE DUCKS NEVER CAME BACK.
But One fthe Flock Did Not Join in
 Their Flight.


 John Gleason of Carver county has a brood of eight young pintails matched under ad omestic duck last month. This makes the third time he has tried the experiment, with varying success. Mir. Gleason now points with pride at vain old mallard drake whose coat of iri- descent grandeur Is quite the most gor- geous bit of coloring anywhere about
 the place, though he is compelled at certain seasons of the year to divide
 honors with bedizened and fearfully
 noisy peacock of aristocratic lineage
 and the proverbial pride of his high
 headed race.
 This mallard is the only remaining specimen of brod of twelve matched by domestic duck of the Gleason yard. Early In life he formed an at tachment for g. speckled tame duck,
 and this romantic devotion of his has, at least Gleason says so, prevented his leaving for those far southern feeding
 grounds which long since lured away the others of his family. The gaily dec-
 orated drake and his dull speckled con- sort Waddle about in seeming content
 ment, though Mrs. Gleason declares
 that at times there is an air of sadness
 about the mallard, suggesting possible
 regret for the pleasures that might have been his.
 | The remainder of the brood took flight all in bunch one Sunday morn ing three seasons ago. A flock of southing mallards passed over, flying
 so high as to be almost invisible. The pf thp hJ1nph ma n oeH tn a
 himself heard and understood, however, for Gleasons birds lit out as though they couldn't wait minute. The mal- lard drake with the speckled incum- brance hesitated between domestic bliss and an unencumbered career. While he hesitated his brothers and sis ters became mere specks in the dist ance. H. has never seemed to care for aerial travel since that. In fact, he is now so disgracefully fat that it is an open question whether he could support | his own weight for any considerable 1 distance.
 There are a score or two of hybrids | in the Gleason barnyard as a result i of the mallard's stay. MT. Gleason l says that they are better favored fowl | for food purposes than the ordinary do- | mestic bird. Once in a great while, | during the spring and fall flights of | water fowl. a few of the hybrids take | wing and are seen no more. To pre- vent this the birds now in hand have | had their wings clipped, with the ex- l ception of the old mallard. Gleason | trusts him implicitly.
 | This spring, while cutting slough i grass near creek that traverses the farm, MT. Gleason came upon a pin | tails nest full of eggs. He confiscated
 the collection, set them under domes- | tic duck, and now has a brood of the | liveliest youngsters that ever came out ! of egg shells. They are as much trouble i to their slow, waddling mother as a | picnic party is to the Sunday school su- perintendent. She follows them into | the water and tries to keep them in sight, but is evidently worried at the extraordinary swiftness with which

STORY PROBABLY TRUE.

Manila Dispatch Regarding Merritt Not
Confirmed, However.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2a-No confr-
nation could be obtained fro m officials
of the war department of the report
that General Merritt would sail Tues
day from Manila to attend the session
of the peace conference at Paris. There
are reasons. to believe, however, that
the report is correct, although the war
department may not be advised as yet
as to the exact date Of General Mer.
ritt's departure from Manila
General Merritt's instructions when
he went to the Philippines were
thoroughly to familiari0e himself with
the situation on the islands. These
instructions probably were given him
in anticipation Of the peace confer
ence. Since his arrival at Manila he
undoubtedly has gathered fund of
information that would be of distinct
value to the American peace commits
sioners and the idea Is to have him at.
tend the conference in an advisory
capacity. He would be able to supply
much detailed information that it
would be impossible for the commits
sioners to obtain from any other source.
