DUCK CARRIED CAR FARE.
But Mr.. Kicker Cried Aloud for
Gold Piece.

Kicker was reading his newspapers
when he was summoned to the hitch
en- by his wife, who was preparing a
duck for dinner. In one hand she
held the gizzard Of the bird and in
the other a steel knife.
II thought you might not believe
me if l told you," said Mrs. Kicker
"but look in that gizzard.'
Kicker looked and saw something
shiny. He pulled it out. 1t was
dime of Uncle Sans currency, worn
almost smooth on one side and peri
grated as no milling machine made
by human hands could perforate it on
the other side. Through a magnify
ing glass Kicker made out the date
on this coin as 1908. Since it got
hold of the dime the ducks gizzard
had not been loafng. When the duck
was served Kicker was thoughtful,
even morose.
Dimes discovered in ducks seem to
indicate tenderness" remarked Mrs.
Kicker, pleasantly. 'This one is de-
licious."
Next time" grunted Kicker, Il
wish you would select a duck with
more expensive tastes. / should like
one with an appetite for flve-dollar
gold pieces"

EFFECTS OF PROSPERITY.

II the six years of the country's
greatest prosperity, from 1897 to 1908,
average prices of breadstuffs advanced

and garden products SOL per cent,
and clothing 24.1. All these were prod

profited more than any other class of
the community by these advances.
The miner benefited 42.1 per cent by
that advance in the average price of

average prices of commodities in that
period was in railway freight rates
which decreased from 1913 per ton

Justice Abused.

An extraordinary case of prison
administration, perhaps unique in
it's way, has just been brought to light
at Cartagena, where an old prisoner
named Moreno, condemned in 1867 to
twenty-seven years penal .servitude
for military desertion and brigandage,
has been kept in Jail eleven years
after the expiry of his sentence in
1894, simply because the original rec
ord of the sentence had been lost
Moreno would certainly have died in
illegal Imprisonment, but the editor Of
a powerful Madrid newspaper, happen
ing to visit the prison a short time
ago, heard from his own lips the story
and it's publication caused a popular
cutlery, which has secured his release.
