DUCK THAT COULDN'T SWIM.
He Was Reared by a Hen and Had
Never Taken LESSONS.

If you speak of thing coming off
as naturally as a duck takes to water
DR.. William p. Painter of Darby will
be inclined to doubt if the event will
ever occur. For it is the doctors ex-
perience that other things take to wa
ter much more naturally than ducks
his ducks at least.
DR.. Painters ducks are bad sailors
and cling to dry land. Like naughty
children, they have to be held to be
washed. No bantum rooster nor sun
dried tramp detests water more than
they. Why, one of DR.. Painters ducks
died from drowning in Cobb's creek
Early in life the mother of this
flock of ducks died. Deprived of
their natural protector, the ducklings
were forced to look to a matronly hen
in DR.. Painters barnyard for their
care and keep, and under the protect
ing wing of Mrs. Pullet they grew up
not in the way duck should grow,
but after the manner Of the land-lub-
Der chicken. 1t is even related that
some of the ducks learned how to
crow.
So the Painter ducks thrived. Be
ing of a spotless white naturally, DIR.
Painter observed on Monday how the
wear and tear of barnyard life had
soiled their downy feathers and deci-
ded that they should have a bath.
Cobb's creek flows just back Of the
doctors place, and thither the flock
was driven, willingly enough. But
when invited to enter not duck took
to the water. Instead they perched
upon a fence rail and communed after
the manner of chickens.
Funny" remarked DR.. Painter
But I guess they'll be all right after
they have taste of it,"
One by one the ducks were hurled
into the creek, but as fast as one was
thrown in the preceding one waddled
out and ran away, cackling with
fright. Ali but one duck-she, poor
fowl, half-blinded by the water, and
all energy frightened out of her, sank
beneath the wavelets and was fished
out dead-drowned in her native ele-
ment.
To battle the others the doctor was
compelled to catch them individually,
and while an assistant held them he
dashed the water over their backs.
When the operation was over, like
half-drowned rats the ducks proceed
ed in doleful procession to the barn
yard, where they sought refuge in the
hen coop.
DR.. Painter takes his land-logged
ducks out bathing every day now,
and hopes in time to overcome the
bad example set them by the perver-
ted chickens. All communication be-
tween the latter and the ducks has
been cut off.

oJIBwAY SKILL
Indians Who Are Very Clever as
Woodworkers.

A class of woodworkers who have
never been organized into unions, per-
haps because no business agent knows
their language, is the Chippewa or
Ojibway Indians. In the forests of
Minnesota and of northern Michigan
these primitive woodworkers live. An
AK and drawknife, an awl and a
pocket-knife complete their fullest set
OF tools. With these they produce
wooden articles of beauty and utility.
The genius of these workers is of wide
scope, their work ranging from the
graceful sailboats of unequaled speed,
in which they fish for food or race for
pleasure, to the carved crosses which
mark the graves of their children.
From the handling of forest giant"
in the lumber camp to the carving of
an arrow, the Ojibway Indian shows
his peerless skill as a woodworker.
The arrows of the other Indian
tribes have sharp, pointed heads, and
require feathering to make them go
true, and to carry them point-on to
the object aimed at The arrows of
the Pueblo and other southern Indians
have delicately pointed tips of steel or
flint, which cleave the sir. The Ojib-
ways arrow differs from these. The
head is heavy, broad-laced block of
wood; from this blunt head, broader
than the face of a half-dollar the
arrow tapers, cone-like, to narrow
stem, which gradually diminishes in
size to the notched end. This arrow
looks awkward, with its broad head,
heavy enough to crush the skull of a
deer, but scientists say it is the ideal
form of projectile. The Mackinac
boats of the Ojibways are built on the
lines of their arrows-broad of bow
and tapering gracefully aft.
These Indian men are not the only
skilled woodworkers of the northern
forests. The women and children
make baskets of thin strips of the iron
wood, and various kinds of fancy work
from the tough birch bark. To orna-
ment the baskets and toy birch bark

in bright colors are used to embroider

COULDN'T RESIST.

An eccentric clergyman in Cornwall
had been much annoyed by the way
the members of the congregation had
of looking around to see late corners.
After enduring it for sometime he
said on entering the reading desk one
day: Brethren, regret to see that
your attention is called away from
your religious duties by your very
natural desire to see who comes in
behind you. propose henceforth TO
save you the trouble by naming each
person who may come late"
He then began Dearly beloved
but paused half way to interpolate.
"Mr. s., with his wife and daughter"
Mr.. S. looked rather surprised, but
the minister, with perfect gravity, re-
sumed. Presently he again paused.
"Afr. G. and William D."
The abashed congregation kept their
eyes studiously bent on their books.
The service proceeded in the most or
derby manner, the parson interrupting
himself every now and then TO name
some newcomer At last he said, still
with the same perfect gravity:

Village improvements.

The Village of Yale has reached that
point where large amount of labor is
required to keep its streets and side
walks in repair and to secure fuel and
other necessaries for its public build
ings. An examination of the neces-
sary expenditures now paid out will
convince any taxpayer that the Village
needs team and vehicles to attend to
the public business. A team may be
prohtably employed in drawing the
coal for the power house and school
buildings; in grading the public streets;
in drawing gravel for the village; in
sprinkling the streets throughout the
village, residence streets as we'll as
Main street; in drawing material and
supplies of all kinds. The amount we
now pay to get this work done will
make the investment in a team a very
profitable one.
The amount we are now paying to
those who drive their own teams to do
this work, together with what we pay
street commissioner will certainly
pay the wages of a man the year
through to run the team and attend to
sidewalk repairs.
The attention of our business men,
the president and council, and taxpay-
ers generally, is called to these facts.
An investigation and fair consider
alton of these will convince all that the
plan proposed will work advantage to
the Village and save us cash.

Home Feeling,

As iwiss love their mountains. so

bleak, desolate country. The supply
of food is limited, and the natives are
at times in danger of starving. AS
they number about 5000, and could be
slowed in half n dozen cmigrant ships,
it has been proposed to send them to a
land in which it is fit for human be-
ings TO live.
The proposal overlooks the fact that

the most beautiful country in the
world. and therefore would not 30 TO
