THE STORY OF MADAM DUCK.

My grandmother used to tell me a
story about her grandmother which was
very funny. She said that her grand
mother Matched out a fine-looking brood
and one day took them to the pond.
She plunged In and called to the little
ones to follow. All but two obeyed her,
and after calling them again she went
to the bank of the pool.
why do you not mind Ele?" she said,
picking at the. trembling youngsters.
Go into the water this instant as your
brothers and sisters have done. You
cannot learn to swim If you stay on
shore"
1--WE do not want to get wet" said
one.
Not get wetr' screamed their mother
"Ohl that I should live to see the day
that a child of mine says thatr she
said. rolling her eyes toward the sky.
Both of you go into that pond this
minute" she said, pushing them to-
ward the water.
The little ones cried and tried to get
away, but great-great-grandmo was
very firm, / am told, and she was de-
termined that they should swim.
Just as she had the little ones at the
very edge of the pond Mr.. Rooster came
along. What are you doing, Madam
Duck?" he asked.
Two of my children refused to go in
to the water" she said. Did you ever

At the crossroads a trooper stood
plainly visible in the moonlight, legs

across his thighs. He was gazing
northward in the direction the pursuit
had taken, and presently he lifted the
breech of the gun to his lips and blew

Story of Mr.. Gobblef.

7 HAVE heard my mother say that my
great great grandfather weighed
i thirty pounds when he was dressed
for the table
He was a wonderful bird. as wise as
Solomon, and really quite as glorious
when he spread his wings and dragged
them along the ground.
But when he was young bird he
was quite gay and one night two or
three days before Thanksgiving he
said to the other turkeys, let us give
Farmer Jones a surprise.
The others agreed to do anything that
eat-grandfather proposed. He
called them al together and handed a
line Of turkeys which he led far into
the woods and told them to roost In
the spruce trees for the night. The
trees will protect you from the cold,

also from being seen.
When Farmer Jones went for the tur-
keys to get them ready for the Thanks
giving market, of course he could not
find them. He and his men hunted
around the neighborhood and II was
night before they found them. Great
great-grandfather escaped, however, by
hiding behind a rock and did not return
to the farm until the farmer was on his
way to market.
He was SO thin from going without
food that he would not have been Sc
lected anyway.
In /one way or another he escaped
from year to year anu lived for many
years, and his children and grandchil-

Victor Hugo Gave Gold
Of the Printed Sort

A Paris chiffonnier makes living Of
sort, and he sometimes, in overhaul
ing the dustbins. comes across a find.
In this respect a Paris contemporary
relates capital story Of Victor Hugo.
A little silver gilt souvenir spoon, which
the poet valued very much, disappeared
Through the carelessness Of the maid
servant 1t had found its way into the
ash bucket, and in due course into
the hands of the chiffonnier who prac-
ticed in the district.
This worthy succeeded in getting the
poet to awake from his reveries and to
descend from the lofty heights of Olym-
pus, in other words, his study, to re-
ceiye back the lost spoon. Hugo was
delighted to get back his souvenir. The
author Of Hermann was never a prodi-
gal, so he rewarded the chiffonier by
presenting him with copy of his Les
Chansons des Rues ct des Bois," say
ing, There, my man, you will md In
