A Good Duck Story.

Wilton News: Master Anthony
Erickson, Of Grass Lake township,
caught a young wild duck in the
spring of 1901. The duck became quite
tame and stayed with the tame ducks
on the farm. In the spring OF 1909 the
duck left, and no trace Of her could
be found. Anthony mourne6 his pet
as lost. At dusk one evening late In
the fall of the same year she came
back. Anthony thinking it q Wild
duck went for his gun. but when he
came out with the gun he found her
in the chicken coop with the tame
ducks. It stayed all that winter ana
in the spring took the same kind Of
leave as the spring before, staying
away all summer, and returned again
last fall and is now spending the win
ter on the farm. Was it instinct that
brought the duck back? - s.s 2

The splendid condition of the schools
of the state and their munificent en-
dowment is cause for the greatest
satisfaction and the mastery manner
in which the affairs Of the state educa-
tional department are being conduct
ed rebounds to the credit Of those in
charge under the present REGIME.
The selection of Mr. Stockwell at the
head OF this department was a
most happy one. His administration
seems to be marked by unusual har-
mony among the educators Of the state
and as an executive official Mr.. Stock
well ranks all predecessors. Well

Indicative Of the general prosperity
of the country It is shown that during
1903 only nine railway corporations
passed into the hands of receivers and
the total mileage involved was only
9229, or an average Of 25.5 miles to each
receiver. Many Of the larger corpor-
atoms are planning extensions for the
coming season and nearly all lines will
expend vast sums for betterment. Il
is also noticeable that there have been
fewer complaints regarding rates than
Tor many years past and 20 far as the
railroads are concerned there exists q
better feeling between the people and
corporations than ever before. #

Suit Against the Hennessy construe-
tion Company. 49, ~
Mrs. G. l.. Knudson, through her at
torney, F. H. Register, win bring suit
against the Henessey Construction
Company Of st. Paul for $4,000 dam
ages, for the death of her husband,
who was killed some months ago by
fall from scaffold while working
about 30 feet from the ground on the
barrack building. Negligence ON the
part Of the company is alleged, In that
they permitted q defective timber to
be placed in the scaffold, whose break
ing precipitated the scaffold to the
ground. There were two workmen on
the scaffold at the time, John Wal
erous, who fell and struck another
scaffold a few feet below, and Knud-
son, who fell the entire distance to
the ground, fracturing his skull and
resulting in almost Immediate death.
"A coroner's jury Investigated the case,
and found the scaffold defective, and
one Of the planks, or look-outs, win
be an important bit Of the evidence.
The case will be brought in United
States court as the defendant corpora
ton is organized under the laws Of
the state OF Minnesota, and the case
will probably be tried at the term Of
court here In March. - 49,. -

Ban Johnson Heartily Favors
Post-Season Series of IS
Games.

= Cincinnati, O., Dec. 17.-President
Ban Johnson, fresh from the meeting
of his cohorts at Chicago. came quiet
~ into town yesterday morning. The
matter of interieague games was thor
Cughly gone. over. Mr., johnson is in
favor of such contests. and the ques-
ton is now entirely up to the National
league. Mr.. Hermann. the protector
of the idea, will use all his influence to
have his fellow magnates look favor
ably upon the plan.
The angle which finds most favor in
the eyes of the American league chief
is the idea of post-season series be-
tween the first four teams in each
league, according to standing.
Il am very anxious TO have il def
nitely arranged that the champions Of
the two leagues shall meet in a contest
for the worlds honor" is the way Mr..
Johnson puts it. "Sueh series should
be officially recognized by both
leagues and the games played accord
ing to q previously arranged sched-
ule. A series of nine games looks like
the right thing. Then, it would not be
bad idea to have a similar series be-
tween the teams finishing second. those
finishing third and also fourth. In
fact, there would be great interest in
contests between the first division
teams If this does not meet with ap-
prevail, Slet the rival teams in the cities
which are represented in both leagues
meet But al any rate. we hope for a
worlds championship"
