BUT NONE WANTED THE DUCK.
Mystery shrOUGed the Transactions
 Of a Country Fair Fakir.

Mystery shrouGed the Transactions of n Country Fair Fakir.
 At the old settlers reunion at Films. Mo, recently there was an operator along the avenue of booths they called the duck man. says the Kansas City Star The duck man" manipulated a wheel with numbers running from one to eight. Then there were nice, smooth little paddles numbered similarity. It cost 10 cents to hold paddle while the wheel spun round; and when 1t stopped, If your paddle had the num- Der at which the indicator pointed, you got the duck. That Is what the sign In front said. And live duck was there in small cage, where everybody could See 1t.
 The law of the land Is not lntoler- ant when 1t comes to giving souvenirs as prizes for skill and especially when meek, domesticated bird is the offer- Ing. Prosecuting Attorney Dunham came up from Macon to make a speech and to shake hands with his constitu- ents. While here. of course, he viewed the elephant. They told him every thing was nice and orderly and that It would be waste of good time for any one to try to sell gold bricks to that crowd.
 The prosecutor casually promenaded by the spangled man who swallowed swords, glanced at the beautiful snake charmer, the Albino queen from St. Louis and the wild man from Kansas City. But he hesltated before the duck man." who appeared to be pros- pering. He saw eight hungry men put up 10 cents apiece for the chance at few whispered words with the duck man." went away without his duck. Still he didn't appear mad about It. Another whirl of the wheel, and an- other lucky man left, but without the feathered prize. Mr. Durham was pug zled. Maybe the duck was glued to its cage. The third winner he accosted.
 Wouldn't he let you have your duck?" he asked.
 The man grinned.
 "What the blue blazes dye s'pose want wid a bloomin' dook fer to be luggin' round wherever goes for?"
 Well, what's 1t to you If you don't get your duck?'
 "Aw, nawthin'; jlst chanst ter blow meself 1t wearies me ter carry so much coin in me pockets"
 The prosecutor bought a paddle and diversity came. He tried It again with a ditto result. Next time he hit the bull's-eye.
 If you'd rather have the money here's half-dollar," said the dealer.
 "Why, that's gambling!" gasped the attorney.
 "Well, then, take your duck"
 The prosecutor sent an officer to ar rest the duck man." who made this explanation to the justice:
 We wasn't playing for anything but ducks. Early this morning I sent around to every farmhouse in these parts and bought up all the ducks they had, but even then we run short, and so had to tell the boys that won that I'd give 'em half a dollar apiece as se- curity till We got another supply of ducks We'll have some more in the morning and then they'll come and get the ducks and hand the money back"
 A policeman deposed that ducks were worth 13h cents apiece hereabouts and that the duck mans solitary bird had been on duty the whole week. The de fendant paid a fine of S25 and quite bit in costs, but the court told him he would remit the fine if the winners came back after their ducks.

The Story of Graham Flour.

Graham flour Is so named from Dr.. Sylvester Graham, who in 1929 first used and strongly recommended foods made from unbolted flour. The Gra- ham bread and crackers made In those days were coarse and unpalatable, and were eaten more as dietary obliga- tion than as an enjoyable food. The Graham foods, through experiment and skill. became more and more palatable, until finally the real Graham cracker the tempting food-was produced.
