a Duck Story.

This is about time for the annual
crop of duck stories. This one is con-
tributed by the Cherryville (kan.) Re-
publican:
Jim Jacobs had quite an exciting ex-
perience Il few days ago. He had made
repeated attempts to get In range of
a big flock that had settled on his pond.
but each time the ducks would fly be-
fore he got in shooting distance. AS
soon as he would leave the ducks would
return. Finally Jim threw his old muz-
zle loader away and gathered about n
dozen pumpkins and set them afloat on
his pond. After the ducks got used to
the pumpkins jim followed one out,

particularly beautiful. It was the
name Of the reservation to the north
and of . small part Of the odds and

other name? He had always thought
Of her as Ma Daily's daughter; and
yet. now that he came to think Of It,
she had never seemed akin to the easy

Almost Immediately the tumbling
hills closed In upon him and he found
himself In . wilderness Of towering

terious paths lost In the crowding
ferns. He was standing at rest In q
small glade carpeted with pine nee

he caught the sound of voices. They

his ears. Presently q look Of blank.

One Of tho voices was familiar. soft

character of the different varieties of British soldier in the test of war.
 In the opinion of the officer the best soldier is the erstwhile miner. He pre- fers the miner "because he is strong in the back and used to dangers and ex- plOsions, because he can endure cramp- ed positions in the trenches, because his ears are quick. because he is cu- rious about sounds and because he is intelligent. The miner puts two and two together much more quickly than my other class of men,"

Martha Washington's will, which was in the possession of J. P Morgan -Sr., for several years, is now in the custody of Judge James Keith of the Virginia supreme court of appeals, to whom it was sent by the present head of the Morgan family with directions to make such further disposition of the relic as might be pleasing to the state of Virginia. This will terminate the suit begun in the federal supreme court for possession of the instru- ment. The will was taken from the Fairfax court house in 1862 by col onel of the union army, who rescued it from bundle of papers about to be thrown into a fire. He kept it for 30 years and then gave it to his daughter, who in 1905, sold it to the father of the present J. r. Morgan.

The work of deepening and widen ing the channel between the jetties at Port Arkansas has practically been completed and Captain George Prem dergast of the dredge Galveston is putting the finishing touches while awaiting further orders from the de- partment. The last survey of the channel showed a uniform channel depth of over 25 feet from deep water in the gulf to deep water in the harbor and there Is a minimum width of about 300 feet. The people are also indebted to Lieutenaut-Co Colonel c. $. Riche for his untiring efforts to obtain permis- sion to bring tn dredge Galveston, which is one of the largest in the gov ernment service, to this point. He has clearly demonstrated his conten- ton that the Galveston would be able to do the work. The physical condi- tions of the harbor are now such as to care for any contemplated tonnage through the port. The government has now done it's part and it is up to the people to devise ways and means of utilizing the great new waterway.

A paragraph in one of the bulletins recently published by the United States department of agriculture asks the old question, what is a weed The accepted definition of what is a weed is-"A weed is plant out of place." This never thoroughly satis- fes us, and the paragraph gives what seems far better definition, "A weed is wild plant that has the habit of intruding where not wanted" It is pointed out that a plant may be out of place and not be a weed, as rye grow ing in a wheat field, or Kentucky blue grass in an alfalfa field.
