wool trading, while the market fea-
ture was the cleaning up of many lots
of odds and ends of secured woods.
Prices generally are steady.

TAKEN AT A DISADVANTAGE
Awkward Question Put to Witness
Led to Hasty Exit From
the Stand.

A colored brother was charged
with violating the prohibition laws,
and one of the issues in the case was
whether or not certain prohibited
beverages were kept in an ice box In
the defendants place OF business. Jim
Jones, another colored brother, was
introduced as a witness for the de-
PENDANT, and swore positively that no
prohibited beverages were kept In the
box that day; that he was In the
place all the morning. On cross ex-
animation, the city attorney asked If
the ice box was open when he entered
the place, or was opened in his pres
ence. Jim promptly replied In the
negative He was then asked IL
he had been inside the box at any
time that particular day, and replied
that he had not The city attorney
then asked the all-important question
of how he knew there were no pro-
hibited liquors in the box at that
time" After considerable delibera-
ton and mute appeal to the de-
PENDANTS attorney, which was very
marked, Jim replied: "Fo' Cord, boss,
/ didn't know yo was gwine ter ak
me dat" Jim was hastily excused
by consent of all parties.-Exchange

CALL DUCKS ARE SMALLEST
Bred More for Show Room Than for
Profit There Is In Them for Mar
ket Purposes-Good Decoys.

Call ducks are bantams, and are
bred more for the fancy than for the
profit there Is in them 70 market.
There are two kinds of call ducks, the
Gray Call and the White Call, and it
is only a choice of plumage as to
which is the better of the two. They
are both of one character as to size,
shape, and habits, and differ only as
regards color.
The Gray Call is very similar In
color OF plumage to the Rouen, and is
indeed called by many the Bantam
Rouen, and the white Is sometimes
called the Bantam Pekin Their uses
are only for the show room, or as
decoy ducks for wild duck shooting.
For the latter purpose they are
sometimes crossed with the common
duck or the wild Mallard. This latter
cross Is considered excellent, the pro-
geny being distinguished for tameness
and domesticity.
When breeding call ducks, smallness
of size is the first consideration; the
smaller they are the better. The arts
OF skillful breeding for the showroom
are being used in keeping down the
size of these ducks. Inbreeding has
been resorted to, while late Matching,
scanty feeding, and nonbone- making
food have been the means that have
retarded their natural development.
The head Of the Call duck Is small
and slender; bill short and broad; necB

RUDE AWAKENING FOR ELIZA
Too Late She Discovered That Wis.
itor Was Not the Object of
Her Alteration.

The gentle Eliza was sitting drearily
IN the darkened room, waiting miser-
ably for a visitor, whom she feared
would never come. To tell the truth,
Eliza and William had quarreled bit
terly the night before. But what is
that? A ring, a step, masculine
voice. She waited not, but threw
herself into the visitors arms
"Oh, my darltng!" she sobbed, with
her head upon his bosom. Il am so
glad you have called. | did so long
to make up and do my best to pay
you for bringing light into my life.
Let us settle peacefully once more
with each other"
well, MISS" said a strange voice,
Pm wfllin', I'm sure. But my in
structions is that II you don't I'm to
cut off the gas!"
And 1t was only then that Eliza
found out she had mistaken a COM
mon gas person for her William

Pair of White Call Ducks.

OF medium length, and back compare
lively short; the breast is round and
full, and body short, round and COM
pact, with medium-sized wings; the
thighs are short and stout, and shanks
short.
The Gray Call drake is a beautiful
little bird, with rich, lustrous green
head, dark hazel or brown eyes, lus-
trous green neck, with white ring on
the lower part of neck, as in the
Rouen. The back is of ashy-gray
plumage mixed with green on the up
per part, while the lower part and
rump are Of rich, lustrous green.
The under part Of the body on the
sides is beautiful gray, which grows
lighter toward the vent, and the ends
In solid black under the tail. The
wings are grayish brown, mixed with
green, and have the broad ribbon-like
marks Of pulple with metallic refec-
lions of green and blue, distinctly
edged with white. The primaries are
a dark dusky brown. The tail feathers
are of dark, shy brown, the outer
web in old birds being edged with
white; the tail coverts are black, with
very rich purple reflections. The bill
is greenish yellow In color, while the
shanks, toes, and webs are orange,
with brownish tinge.
The ducks head is deep brown, and
has two light tan stripes on each side,
like the head of the Rouen duck, run
ming from the bill to point behind
the eyes. Her bill If a brownish
orange color, and her eyes are dark
hazel or brown. The neck is light
brown, penciled with darker brown;
breast, dark brown, penciled with
lighter brown; back, light brown,
marked with green, and the under
parts and sides of body are light
brown, each feather distinctly penciled
with rich dark brown. The plumage
of wing is light brown, mixed with
green, and is crossed by a broad bar
of rich purple edged with white; the
primaries are brown. The tail feath-
ers are of light brown color, with
distince, broad, wavy penciling of dark
greenish brown; tail coverts are
brown, with broad penciling Of dark
brown or greenish brown; thighs are
dark brown; shanks, toes, and webs
are orange or orange brown.
The White Call is pure white In
plumage throughout, and feathers of
any other color will disqualify it. 1t
is in every respect like the Gray Call,
except in plumage, In the color of the
eyes, which are blue, the color of
the bill, which Is a bright color, and
the color OF the shanks, which are
bright orange. No standard weight "

The Old Order Changeth

critic declared that twentieth century people
tell their private affairs much more readily than
used to be the custom. II marriages turn out
fortunately the world learns it from the parties
chiefly concerned, and what the old-sashioned
woman would have called the secrets Of her in
ner 1ife not to be confessed to herself, the
new woman tells boldly In order to surround her
personality with a halo of interest, for 1t seems
certain, If you do not say you have troubles,
body will notice them. The instinct Of family
loyalty is diminishing, that clannish sentiment
which caused relatives to hide their internal dis
sensions from others carefully they would
bodily in1rities; children criticise their parents
and vice versa; brothers and sisters quarrel in
the street; the black sheep is openly discussed
by his relations No liberation is granted the
score of blood, and all of us require as much
liberation as get, 1t seems pity so fruit
full a means Of supply is cut off. Yet If man
has brother BLACKBOARD, why should he not
say so, just much as If he were stranger?
There seems real reason, except that it
does not sound NICE and public opinion long age
decided that family disgrace must be shared by
all the members.

brand won't be the least bit like the oldtime
event that was awaited with more anticipation
than was bestowed even upon the Fourth of July
or the annual visit of the monster and mas
todonic united shows" Perhaps this cherished
idol of youth may not have been really and
truly county fair, for not all county fairs can
enjoy the prestige of location at the county seat
but after ALL that is a minor matter in the eyes
of the outsider and man ever be convinced
that the world ever held more important "agri
cultural exposition" than the at which
youngster he exhibited his chickens or peddled
peanuts sold scorecards
That as has been said the oldfashioned county
fair hasn't been changed beyond recognition, even
to this day, is all the more matter of surprise
when we take into account the revolutionary
changes that have taken place in other phases
of rural life. The Introduction Of rural free de-
livery, for instance, has done away with the
necessity and the opportunity for those friendly
gatherings at the crossroads store when the farm
who drove for the mail stole a little
leisure In which to swap stories. Similarly a
photograph in every farm house has somewhat
dulled the appetite for those periodic concerts
at the little red school house, even the presence
the roads of those tipping, screeching automo-
bes has knocked all the romance out Of those
buggy rides in the moonlight when old Dobbin
was allowed to find his way and set his
pace.
Not only has the county fair withstood the
ravages Of time and the onslaught of modern
by lapse of time. That is many fair of the
present day is vastly bigger and better than was
the corresponding event On the grounds
score more of years ago. 1t Is not due solely
to the natural increase of population, either,
yet to that "back-to-thesol" crusade which has
swept over the land The latter has helped how
ever, because it has added to the population of
many a rural district and women who are
engaging in farming for pleasure as well as for
profit and who enter their products at the near
by fairs matter of pride just breeder of
fine dogs will travel all over the country to dis
play his booded CANNES at the big dog shows,
even though the prizes would not pay the express
charges the animals.
The automobile despised though Il Be in many
quarters, has had big influence in bringing
greater prosperity to our latter-day county fairs
The advent OF the horseless vehicles and the fad
for touring, taken in conjunction with that I'M
provement of country roads which has been go
ing this past decade SO, has made 1t possible
for farmers to travel greater distances to the
fairs. The tler of the soil who in the old days
content to take his family to fair-the
nearest home, may now, If he has one of
those automobiles that are constructed especially
