Deaths and Funerals.

The remains of William J.

RIGHT THIS WAY TO INSPECT THE
 ONE LEGGED DUCK
He Eats Elm Alive, Not Pies and Cakes, But Snakes, Snakes. Snakes.

Step this way ladies and gentlemen, and view the one legged duck. Not the regular, ordinary, every day duck of commerce. Not the kind you see dangling gaily from a hook in meat markets. nor yet the kind they serve you in the gilded restaura nts of the day. If the average restaurant pro- prietor could serve such a rare bird as a one legged duck, he would charge you $3.85 a portion and then think he was doing you an everlasting favor.
 Why is it the duck has but one leg? Ask us something easier. Myrtille Perhaps in the happy days of her childhood she slipped on the ice and fell with a loud -Guacking and coarse laughing by the merry villagers. Per- Eaps she was waddling happily from puddle to puddle when along came a sr1orting automobile and mang1ed one of the underpinnings. Or mayhap the poor thing was in love and cut off a shapely limb as sacrifice when the greedy butchers spotted her hearts desire and carried him off to mar ket.
 There are more varieties of ducks than you can shake a stick at. There is the red headed duck, the ruddy duck, the sleepy duck. the swallowtail evening functions. the squaw duck and the cock robin duck. To say nothing of the Long Island duck you get in restaurants around Christmas time. But there is some doubt among the common people as to whether this is duck or piece of leather
 The only place to see this marvellous one legged duck is at the annual ex- hipition of the Bridgeport Poultry Pigeon and Pet Stock Association which will be held at the armory, January 4. 5 and 6. Bring your field glasses and be convinced.
