Woodman was lost to the world for a
space of IA uneventful days, and the Of
flee boy drew pictures of Robinson
Crusoe on the blotters.
The Saturday before his vacation was
up the boys spent much time and ar
tistic labor in decorat ting his corner.
Ducks, as large as life and twice as
natural, were cut out of wrapping pa
per by an advanced class of kinder
garten scholars and pinned up on the
wall and on the window shade. One
fine flock was shown flying across the
file cabinet. the top one just falling
from shot from the victorious hunter.
Monday morning came. and with it
the hunter, somewhat the worse for
wear. Despite labored effort at
jauntiness, his joints were evidently
stiff, and his face had the color and
texture of Texas beef.
"Ah;" he exclaimed, as he saw the
display. 'Ducks!" And the shade Of
sadness on his brow gave place to an
expression of joy and satisfaction. as
if he had found something that filled
a long-felt want.
''How many did you get?"
eve didn't count them"
Now. when hunter says he didn't
count them his name is Ananias and
the truth is not in him.
'We got few," he went on, "but the
marsh was dry and there weren't many
there. We got enough. and I'm no hog
for game, anyway"
"How was the weather."
''Fine-for ducks. Rain principally,
and some snow. And good deal of
wind. The fact is. the marsh is played
out. They have drained it to death,
and the birds don't stop there any
more. They have through tickets to
the Red river. with no stopover all

That afternoon one of the porch.
climbers came in with a picturesque
tale of 1863. And Woodman said that all
men are liars.
But the worst jar was when the light
of the stenographers spoke up. in the
honeyed voice she usually reserved for
the telephone, and asked him if he had
that mallard's wing he promised her.
He was never the same man after that.

confining, and. moreover. were against

When mother puts the griddle on
And rings the breakfast bell,
The way we boys our jackets don
And tumble down pell NELL
And get around the table quick
And ready to commence,
Just beats the biggest circus trick
You ever saw in tents.
At first we bow each little pate
While father says the grace;
Then mother sets heaping plate
OF cakes at fathers place.
Because he has his work to meet
We wait till he is through
But 1t is hard to watch him eat
When we are hungry, too.
At last he's done and says: "Good-by'
To mother with kiss,
And then she makes the batter fly
And that hot griddle hiss,
And then we boys who had to wait
For father. feast galore
But fast as mother fills plate
It's clean with yells for more.
I tell you what, those cakes are fine
With 'lasses on the top
And buttered over till they shine
We don't know how to stop.
We stuff till mother cries: Land sakes!
When will you boys be through?
To fill such appetites with cakes
Is more than I can do"
Don't take the griddle off," cries Ned.
II want some more" cries VIII.
i've only had nineteen" says Fred.
'Tm hungry yet" says Phil.
And so we keep our mother sweet
A trying might and main
To bake as fast as we can eat
And she just tries in vain
At last she brings heaping plate
With: Boys! This must be all:
AS long as can stand and bake
For some and more you'll call.
don't suppose you think that
Am tired and hungry, too
The batter bowl is nearly dry
And-well, | want a few"
That's just like ma. She never takes
A bit of breakfast till
Her boys, who love her griddled cakes.
Have had their royal fill.
And don't blame her either, for
Not wanting cakes each day
And standing hungry on the floor
While we just stuff away.
The only trouble eating cakes
Is waiting for enough,
Because one person never bakes
AS fast as four can stuff.
I'd have four persons bake for one,
And that one would be me,
And then no starving would be done
Between the plates, you see.
