steam engine without water as to find
an active, energetic man with a torpid
liver and you may know that his liver
is torpid when he does not relish his
food or feels dull and languid after

MuzzIed Ducks.

A baggageman on the Santa Fe who
runs into Kansas City from out in the
western part of Kansas has lost lots OF
sleep. 1t is doubtful if he ever can
catch up with it. He leaves Hutch
inson at night and reaches Kansas
City in the morning. Nearly every
night he brings in his car two or three
coops of live domestic ducks. During
the night, when he has no baggage to
deliver at small stations, it has been
his habit and privilege to lie down on
an improvised couch and dOze. With
the advent of the ducks the doing
stopped. The constant quacking of
the ducks, who could not understand
their strange environment, would not
permit of sleep,
For many nights as he lay awake he
planned relief. He thought ofstrang-
ling the ducks or chloroforming them.
But neither expedient seemed good.
One night bright idea came to him.
After he had put it into execution the
ducks were silent.
The next night he had two coops of
unusually vociferous ducks. As soon
as it came time to sleep he wrenched
a slat from one Of the coops, reached in
and pulled out duck. From hispock-
ct he took a 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 not permit
the duck to open its bill far enough to
use Its tongue. Only by one the ducks
were muzzled, and the baggageman
rested comfortably.
The commission men were surprised
next morning when they received
lot of ducks with rubber bands around
their bills, and when the bands were
removed the shouts of protest from the
ducks were deafening.
