THE ducklng, for so they thought he was,
stayed all winter with the old woman and her
cat and hem but fine day in the springtne, long
ing for a nice swim in the water, he went down to
the brook and swan far away from the home ct the
old woman and her pets. But in the autumn when it
grew very cold, the poor duckling had bad time.
One morning he saw flock of beautiful swans come
out of thcket nearby, and feeling came over the
poor ugly ducling that he loved those beautiful white
birds as he had never loved anything before Ali how
he longed to go with Them but he felt ashamed even
to let them see how ugly he was, and while he was
thinking this away they few without seeing him.
The Washington times., 1907-10-20

IN THE evening he reached a'lttle hut all tumbled
= down and dirty. He crept through the half-open
door into dark little room where an old woman sat.
She lived here alone with her tom-cat and pet hen.
The cat she called her little He purred and put
up his back if you rubbed him from his head to his
TAIL but sparks few if you rubbed him the other way.
The hen had short legs, they called her "Chicklng
Short-egs."
In the morning when they saw the duckling Tom
began to purr and the hen to Cluck
What is the natter" said the woman, for she
could not see well, and thought the duckling was
fat duck HAT had lost her way.
"Oh, that IS a fine CATCH" said she when Tom told
her. Now. we can have all the duck eggs we want
to eat"

THE winter came, and # cold that he had
4 to swim about to keep from freezing. The
pond froze all except one small opening in the
ice where he swan around But this grew smaller and
smaller and finally the duckIng frozen fast in the
ice, and there the next morning man found him and
carried him home. The children wanted to play with
him. but the duc<ng thought they were going to burt
him. and, In his terror. be jumped right into the milk
pail. The farmers wife clapped her hands. and the
children laughed and screamed, and knocked each other
down trying to catch him. The ducklng flew out of
the open door.
He had bad lime after that al winter long, and
how he lived through the cold winter nobody knows.

NNE day he flew into beautiful large garden.
~ There, swimming around on 8 lake, he
the graceful white swans be had seen before and whom
he loved so much. He was very sad, though when he
saw these beautiful creatures, for he thought of him

Better be killed by them," he thought, than be
beaten by ducks, hens, women and children" So he

white swans

bowed his head on a level with the water. But what
did he see in the clear water! Beneath him, as if IN
Iooking-glass, he his image. No longer was
he. dark gray ugly bird. He had grown to be
beautiful white swan!
He was very glad now, for he knew that all his
sufferings were over So he shook his feathers ana
stretched bis slender graceful neck, and happy

CT EFT him alone" said the mother: he is doing
- no harm"
The poor ugly duckTng who had been the last to
leave his she'll was beaten and pushed and made fool
of by the hens well the ducks Even The turkey
cock pulled himself up and swooPed down on him,
gobblng and getting red in the face. The poor duck
ling was very unhappy and every day things grew
worse and worse for him. He was even chased about
by his sisters. who said:
q wish the cat would catch you'll"
The ducks bit him. the hens beat him. and the girl
who fed the poultry kicked him away with her foot.
So he ran away and flew over the hedge. Even the
little birds who saw him were frightened, and he
thought it because he was so ugly The poor
duckIing. however, closed his eyes and away
faster and faster until he came TO a great meadow.

Indian Arrow Heads.

That Indian arrow heads, found in
large numbers all over the western
plains, are not the points made for
the arrows of the American Indians
and that the mounds, commonly ac-
cepted as the work of the red men,
were made Ey another race, which
lived before the American Indians,
is the declaration of DIR. Charles East
man, the educated Sioux Indian, who
Is now remaining the.members of the
Sioux nation. DR.. Eastman is one of
the most distinguished of Indian stu
dents. He SCOTS the idea that the
American Indians originated the
fint- pointed arrow or the granite and
flint battle clubs and the tomahawks,
and believes most of the arrow heads
found throughout the west we're made
by the race which rJamed the hunt
ing grounds before the Indians came
to take possession of them. He has
lived all his life, and is now man OF
forty years, as a wild Indian on the
reservation of the Dakotas, and be
says he has never known an Indian
who could make an arrow head, or
ever knew OF one being made, or who
knew anything of the origin of the
flint points. Field and Farm.

FINANCE Committee
MAKES REPORT

The following report nd recon-
mendations OF the finance committee
was submitted at the adjourned meet
ing OF the council last night:
Hood River, Ore, Feb. Ii, 1907.
To Honorable Mayor and Common
Council, city of Hood River:
A careful examination Of the reports
of the city treasurer and recorder for
the last quarter ending Decem ber 81,
1906, and also their annual reports for
the year 1906, has been made by this
committee and, aside from an error
in the recorders report of rs cents In
the amounts turned over to the treas
ureI, we believe them tn be correct.
The recorder has deposited the above
amount with the treasurer since jan
uary /, 1907, and we thei efore recon-
mend that their respec i've reports be
accepted by the council.
We find the actual balances and de-
ficits in the respective fund accounts
Januay l, 1907, to be as follows:
General fund, balance, 3 464 04
Sewer fluid, deficit, 1885 Al
Road fund, balance, 1,l48 90
Water fund, balance, "a
We recommend an alteration in the
present system of recorder for keeping
the city's accounts, beginning Janu.
ary l, 1907, that they may show at all
times the funds received from the
county treasurer and all other re
ceipts which come direct to the city
treasurer also any disbursements by
the city treasurer account interest
paid on warrants redeemed; that the
city treasurer report amount of these
receipts or disbursements to the city
recorder whenever same is received or
paid out. This we know the treasur-
er will be pleased to do and the re-
corder has arranged to adopt the few
changes necessary, which will enatle
him or any citizen to ascertain the
exact condition of the finances at any
time and also enable the recorder to
make a complete report foi each quar-
ter and year, which has not been done
heretofore. The balances as shown
by the city treasurer's books are not
a safe guide for the reason that there
are often many warrants floating
about for weeks before being present.

be covered by special assessment
as soon as possible. There are to our
knowledge unpaid bills outstanding
to make the deficit reach 5000. The
city will he required to refund small
amounts from time to time, as prop
erty which has been for delinquents
sewer assessment is redeemed by the
owners, it having been sold for more
than the actual assessment and COSTS
There will be some added expense in
IN 'king the assessment above recon-
mended and also for interest on sewer
warrants now unpaid for want of
funds. We therefore recommend that
the rate of this levy be sufficient to
raise the total sum of $3.50, includ
ing any money yet due to tile sewer
fund.

ports of treasurer and recorder with
cancelled warrants for last quarter OF
1906. Respectfully signed,
