In addition to his love for blooded
chickens, pheasants, pigeons and fish,
Manager Lucas of the Hotel Colorado,
is a great admirer of wild ducks, and
the guests and visitors to the hotel
have been much interested in his colle,-
tion which consists of pair each Of
wild Mallards, Pintails and Redheads.
Recently Mr. Lucas missed for time
each day the wild Mallard duck from
the pool where they spent the most Of
their time and in little while she was
missed almost all the time, occasionally
being ppesent at feeding time, but
adroitly stealing away when unobserved.
This occasioned considerable wonder
on the part of all connected with the
hotel until Wednesday morning when
her duckship emerged from a little
nest hidden beneath the vines at thu
edge of the veranda and proudly lei
to the pool twelve little ducklinks
which jumped into the water as though
they were used to it and at once began
to swim all about the pool and pick up
the flies and other eatables found on
the surface of the water. The little
fellows are very interesting and are
attracting their full share Of attention.

crawled upEto $4,000. Then, when lie
remained adamant, the lid" was torn

he lay on what was at the time ex

had to do was to fix the sum he de-
sired and the money would be forth

But there was not money enough
in the state to have caused me to be-
