Ducks Destroy Potato Bugs.

Joseph Junette, who operates a
ranch near Alton, H., thinks he will
quit farming and educate ducks to
eat potato bugs. "A dollar a day a
duel" will be his motto. Just now
Mr.. Junette is enjoying an income of
SIS a day from fifteen ducks. which
he has trained to clear potato patches
of the little spotted pests
Junette tried hem first on his own
potato patch, which comprised sew
eral acres. The ducks went through
the patch like neighborhood scan
dial. After this Junette took care
that his web-footed brigade did not
acquire a taste for other diet so that
they might continue to earn their
wages.
The ducks are in great demand
on the farms in Junette's neighbor-
hood. Farmers are glad to pay $3.50
an hour for the services of the
brigade. Junette has in sight an in
come of $50 a week from the fifteen
ducks already employed.-New York

star catchers of the last two decades

An Original FabIe.


As life wears on, one often fails
TO see the benefits which are the out
come Of present drudgery. This
fable shows that labor. though some
times weary and monotonous, has its
ultimate reward.
Put the young horse in nlougb -,
said,sthe farmer; and very much
pleased he was to be in team with
Dobbin and the gray mare. 1t was
a long field, and gaily he walked
across it, his nose upon Dobbin's
launches. having hard work to keen
at SO slow a pace.
Where are we going now?v he
said, when he got to the top. This
IS very pleasant.
Back again, said Dobbin.
What for?. said the vonng
horse, rather surprised; but Dobbip
had gone to sleep, for he could
plough as well asleep as awake.
What are we going back for?,,
he asked turning around to the old
gray mare
Keep on said the gray mare.
or We shall never get to the bottom.
and you'll have the whip at your
heels.
Very odd indeed. said the young
horse, who thought he had had
enough Of it, and was not sorry he
was coming to the bottom of the
field. Great was his establishment
when Dobbin. just opening his eyes.
again turned, and proceeded at the
same pace up the field again.
How long is this going on?"
asked the young horse.
nobbin just glanced across the
field as his eyes closed, and fell
asleep again. as ne began 10 calculate
how long it would take to plough it
How long will this go on?" he
asked, turning to the gray mare.

you'll have me on your heels.
When the top came, and another
turn. and the bottom, and another
turn, the poor young horse was in
despair he grew quite dizzy. and was

that he might get rid of the sight of

AUGUST DREIER
TRUST LOSES
Collection of inheritance Tax by
the Territorial Treasurer
Was Legal.

The Territory has won out in the suit
brought against it by Cecil Brown, trus-
tee under deed of trust Of August
Dreier, and the $11 ,s64 Inheritance tax
paid into the treasury by the trustee
under protest, and which he sued to
recover, remains in the possession Of
the Territory. The decision in the
matter was rendered by Judge Robin
son yesterday. It is not, however, final,
as the plaintiff will appeal the case to
the supreme court. The appeal will be
perfected at once, so as to have the
matter heard as soon as possible and an
opinion rendered before the first of the
new year.
August Dreier on November 5, 1907,
executed to Cecil Brown as trustee 1896
shares Of August Dreier, Limited,
valued at about 5000. share. The
stock remained in Dreier's name on
the books of the corporation during
his lifetime. He died May 10, 1908,
and the trust ded was not recorded
until after his death.
Treasurer Conkling claimed inheri-
lance tax on the shares conveyed IN
trust, but the plaintiff contended that
the property was not subject to the
payment of an inheritance tax. Judge
Robinson, however, decides differently,
and the tax which was paid under pro
test remains in the treasury. The SILL
864 was the legal two per cent. on the
total valuation of $500, 200. Deputy
Attorney General Sutton represented
the treasurer in the suit.
