THE LANDLUBBER DUCKS.
Those on the Sahara Desert Take Bath
In the Sand.

"The proverbial fondness of ducks
for water would lead one to preSup
pose that OF all the world the most
destitute Of ducks would be the Sahara
Desert, and that if a stray 'springtali
happened to drift into that region he
would either vamOose or turn up his
toes with briatast delay. Well, not at
all said a Frenchman, who was for
merly a resident Of Tunis, to the New
Orleans Times-Democrat. There are
parts of the desert where ducks
abound. flourish and multiply with
every evidence of perfect satisfaction.
The fowl is slightly different from any
of the varieties we know in this coun-
try. but it has the same fiat bill, ex'
tensive breast and web feet, showing
that it was once a water bird, though
now it scarcely finds enough to drink
and has become 100 prOvldent to waste
any Of the precious fluid in ablutlons.
Like the other good Mussulmans of
the country, they take their prescribed
bath in the sand and their web feet
come in very handy as S1owshoes to
walk upon the deep yielding dust 1t
is claimed by an eminent French Or
nithologist that the Saharan ducks are
the remains of race of aquatic birds
which frequented those seas when the
present desert was a part of the At
lantic ocean"
While we are introducing foreign
bugs beetles and beasts into the
United States for various purposes,
why not try some of the desert ducks
in some of our arid western lana?

tired little legs could so. Run! rum
cried the mother, but the hawk was
close at hand now. In spite OF all
their running he would be on to them
in another second. They were TOO
young to dive; there seemed no es-
cape. when just as he bounced the
bright little mother gave great
splash with all her strength, and, us
ing both feet and wings, dashed the
water all over the hawk. lie was
astonished. He sprang back into the
air to shake himself dry. The mother
urged the little ones to Keep on and
keep on they did. But down came the
hawk again; again to be repealed by a
shower of spray. Three times did he
pounce, and three times did she dfench
him. Now all the downlings were safe

A statement going to show the mar
velous increase in the use OF postal
facilities by the American people is
that of the director OF the bureau OF

that the number of postage stamps
sent out for use during the current
fiscal year includes 1900 900, 900 one
cent stamps, 100000, 900 two-cent
stamps and 500, 236,000 of higher de-
nominations. The total, including spe-
cial-deliyery ten-cent stamps, is 5,llo,-
236 900, against 4,371, 1927 600 for the
previous fiscal year, an increase OF
over one and a half billion stamps. 1t
is not easy to grasp the full slgnln-
canoe Of these stupendous totals. A
few calculations may help. According
to these figures sufficient stamps VIII
be issued this year to supply every
man. woman and child in the United
States with at least sixty stamps each.
Distributed among the population or
the entire globe they would supply
each person with postage for not less
than three letters. Placed side by side
in a continuous line the total would
girdle the entire earth three times

WAR NOT OVER.

Following is a portion of dispatch from
Washington, dated Dec. 18TH:
"Recently-returned army officers have ex-
pressed the belief that the feeling of untriendi-
ness between the Americans and Filipinos was
becoming stronger, rather than decreasing;
hence Secretary Roots decision to make no
reduction in the force under Chafee's command.
Army officers, as rule, are of the opinion that
the establishment of civil authority in the
Philippines was triAe premature. Fiction
existing between military and civil officers has
to large extent prevented the complete sub.
jugation of the islands.
IA general officer, on duty in the Philippines
more than two years, in personal letter to a
Washington friend, received this morning, ex-
presses the opinion that an army of $4,000 will
be needed in the islands for at least five years.

SOME REPUBLICAN TACTICS.

The Topeka Advocate is now on the war.
path, and promises to make things warm for
Lew Headley, formerly postmaster at Gaylord.
1t has been proven that Headley did not deliver
the Advocate to subscribers at Gaylord, but
destroyed the papers. Unopened bundles of
the Advocate were found in piles of rubbish
back of the postofice and in outhouses in the
vicinity. Some of these bundles are now in
the hands Of the Advocate people at Topeka.
Webb McNall, who lives at Gaylord, wrote
Mr.. Gaines, business manager Of the Advocate,
that he had received but two copies of the
paper during the past year. Others make
similar complaint.
Headley the postmaster at Gaylord, was the
editor of the Herald, and was also chairman of
the Republican central committee. He had
some trouble with the postal department some
time ago, but "6xed it up" and subsequently
resigned and moved to Oklahoma.
There is little doubt that others than Headley
played the same game, in different parts of the
state, and the matter will be investigated.
We do hope every one of these fellows will
get their just deserts.
