Archaeology assigned to preparr an
essay on ducks, says the National Food
Magazine, wrote: The duck is allow,
heavyset bird composed mostly
of meat and feathers. He is a
mighty poor singer, having a hoarsa
voice, caused by getting 80 many frogs
in his neck. He likes the water and
carries a toy balloon in his stomach to
keep him from sinking. The duck has
only two legs and they are set so far
back on his running gears by nature
that they came pretty near missing
his body. Some ducks when they get
big have curls on their tails and are
called brakes. brakes don't have to

Thirtv-eight years ago a young mother
found in this man, as a babe, comforting
distractions from the loss of another

had high hope in her heart and her JOY
must have been the greater as she
planned how her boy should never lack

many.
The mother failed In discipline; the
father failed in watchfulness; the teach

was that of the lad himself. Surely he
has been the captain of his own soul!
The gate is never so strait or the scroll
so charged with punishment that one
