KEEPING THE DUCKS QUIET.

A baggageman on the Santa Fe who

The next night he had two coops Of
unusually vociferous ducks. As sool
as it came time for sleep he wrenched
a Stat from one of the coops, reached
in and pulled out duck. From his
pocket he took small rubber band,
which he slipped over the ducks bill
just back of the nostrils. The duck
tried to quack, but the rubber band,
while it stretched little, would noJ
permit the duck to open its bill fer
enought to use its tongue. Only a
murmur came from it. On by one the
ducks were muzzled and the baggage.
