consistory, which reviewed the de-

that the records submitted for exam

Tn. Duck and the Orator.


 Some day, my child, I will take you out into the wide, green country and show you a young Pekin duck. He is an active little tyke, is the Pekin duckling, even when he doesn't date back farther than day before yester- day. When 1t comes to swimming he is a sight reader, and he is more de- structive to tender grass than a young Nebuchadnezzar. But unfortunately he is so constructed and fiat of back that if by any chance he gets turned wrong side up he cannot turn over again unaided, and unless help comes he lies there and paddles the air with his little feet until he fans himself to death. He is cheerful about 1t, though, and makes no outcry, apparently think ing that because his legs are working he is swimming along according to Hoyle.
 My child. a little duck on his back and the average after dinner orator on his feet are both deserving of the sym pathy which we should be ever ready to bestow on the unfortunate, and therefore we should sign all petitions that are presented to us looking to the esta blishment of a commission to turn little ducks over and loquacious gen. tlemen down in the hope that if they are prevented from padding and gab- bling themselves to death they may be of some use hereafter.-Tom Wat sons Magazine.
