We met man upon a ship a-sailing on
the lake;
He raised his fist and smote the air with
hotly wrathfu shake:
i know that Captain Kidd Is dead, and
Blackbeard's crew no more
sends terror to the hearts of folk who
dare to leave the shore
But there's a pirate here on board who
gold and treasure snatches:
he just charged me a nickel for a penny
box Of matches!
There Is no Long Tom on the deck. no
cutlasses are stacked
Along the rail all ready for the folks that
must be hacked;
There is no jolly roger fiapping wildly at
the peak
To chill the blood and send the CHASTITY
white into the cheek,
BUT any minute we may see them batten
down the hatches-
I've just been charged nickel for a
penny box OF matches.
I'll stand for ten cents more for anv
quarter magazine,
VIII not howl or groan or growl or
speak In language keen
At being soaked dime for what are Just
five cent cigars
But o, l looked for powder marks and
griSly saber scars
On his young face, for we'll I know his
treasures hid In batches-
He just charged me a nickel for a pennv
box Of matches!
II know that Captain Kidd is dead with
all his cruel crew:
Pierre Lafitte and all the rest have met
their fatal due,
And piracy upon the wave is thought to
be no more"-
ana mere his voice grew loud and strong
and lifted to a roar
But o. the news stand boy Is one who
every dollar catches
He Just charged me nickel for a penny
box Of matches"

WINTER CARE OF THE DUCKS

During winter feed my ducks any
green stuff that happen to have
handy. Turnip. parsnip and carrot
tops. cabbage leaves, beet leaves, on
lon tops. purslane. pigweed. tender
crab grass. lettuce. radish, mustard,

These are dried in tho shade during
the summer and stored like hay. When

boiled for IL hours and mixed with
finely cut roots. such as potato, turnip,
parsnip, carrot, onion and beets. Ap-
pies are also used, says a writer In
the Orange Judd Farmer. These are
all cooked. Not much OF one kind of
plant Is given at time. Four meas
ures or any one with four Of corn
chop. to each OF wheat bran, red
wheat shorts and boiled fresh meat
are fed as n mash--all the ducks will
eat up clean in few minutes. IL any
OF the mash is left. it is at once re-

feed Is given twice daily during the
winter and three times In spring. It
has always proved satisfactory.

Plutsrch.

Mr.. Plutarch was one of the best
known writer's of his time. He is said
to have written more lives than Mu.
rat Halstead did, but this statement
cannot be proven successfully.
Plutarch was the Ebert Hubbard
OF his time. however. He would os-
tensibly write the biography of some
famous Grecian. but this he would
contrast unfavorably with the life OF
one OF his own countrymen. His 1T
tie visits to the homes OF great men
were among the best sellers In his
day and age.
When he was In his prime his coun-
try was flooded with book agents who
worked by the Sheldon method OF
craftsmanship. Plutarch kept flock
OF geese to furnish quills for him.
Today his Lives are a fixture in
every library. One would as soon
think OF omiting the shelves as to
omit Plutarch's Lives" and Dantes
Inferno" or Milton's Paradise
Lost" The latter are nice books for
a library; they look intellectual and
they are the despair of elecutlonists
Plutarch could have found lots of
material today. He would have been
a good editor for the Congressional
Directory.
