Duck on the Window Sill Known to Many People

This is the history Of the duck in

MY father, Dr. Clymer, surgeon.
U. S. ~, on his return from the Asiat-

beautifully colored ducks, which he
purchased In Ceylon.
On the trip over, whether from
change in climate or difference in
food or exposure aboard ship, all died
but one drake, and ne arrived in
H street in good health. He lived
with us happily and contenred for two
years, occupying the back yard, where
he had large pond filled by a natural
spring.
when Alexander r. Shepherd put
in the deep street sewers our pond ran
dry, and our drake then became sad
and pitifully melancholy, and one day
we found him dead.
I'VE called In a taxidermist, had
him treated, and placed him in the
front window, always looking toward
his native home. And when he faded
out Of existence we placed another

JUDGE AND JURY IN CLASH
Jurist Orders Verdict of AcquIttaI
but Jurors Are obdurate, and
Refuse to Sign.

Memphis, Tenn.-Judge and jury
cIashed in the second division of the
criminal court here, and as a result,
a verdict acquitting a man of a mur-
der charge was made a part of the
courts record without the signature Of
the jurors.
c. E. Murrell, railroad fireman, was
charged with having murdered Moss
Todd. Presiding Judge Palmer ruled
that the evidence showed self-defense,
and directed verdict of not guilty
After consultation with members of
the jury, Foreman Cooney refused to
write the verdict. Judge Palmer ex-
planned that he could permit no other
verdict to stand, in view Of the testi-
mony.
You have right to your opinion"
retorted Cooney, still obdurate, but
you are not the keeper of my
conscience"
Finally, however, the verdict was
written. but the Jurors carried their
point to the extent of not af1ixing their
signatures.

NEW TROUSERS LEAD TO WOE
Motorman Falls Downstairs In Hall
way Dressing Room"-Gets
Damages Of SIPS.

Chicago-A new suit OF clothes al
most led to the death of Martin f.
Barry, 707 South Forty-fourth court.
Limping and holding his hand to his
back, he appeared before Judge Mar
tin.
Wishing to visit his mother in Iowa
in some Of the glory ascribed to Solo
mon, he first joined suit club" He
drew a suit and went to the tailor
shop.
Later he made a second visit to the
shop to try on his new suit The
coat and the vest caused no difficulty
He could see they had the correct
lines without inconvenience. But he
wished to try on the trousers. There
was no vacant room for the accommo-
dation of particular customers. So
the tailor showed Barry into a dark
hallway to dlsrobe.
No sooner had Barry thrust his
right foot into the right leg Of his
new trousers than he lost his balance.
He fell down stairs leading to cellar
and lay a bruised, crumpled heap on
a hard cement floor, one foot in his
new trousers and one in the old.
Fifty-six days passed before Barry
could take up his work as a motor
man, and his visit to his mother in
Iowa was postponed. He nursed his
back and his grievance until he ap-
peared in court craving $1,000 in dam
ages from the tailor.
The jury returned a verdict award
ing Barry 1925.
