Essay on Ducks

A little school girl in Michigan
has written the following essay on
the duck: The duck is low,
heavy-set bird. He is mighty
poor singer, having a coarse voice,
caused by getting SO many frogs in
his neck. and he likes the water
and carries a toy balloon in his
stomach to keep from sinking. The
duck has only two legs, and they
are set so far back on their run
ming gears by nature that they
come pretty near missing his body.
Some ducks when they get big
curls on their tails are called
brakes and don't have to set or
hatch, but just loaf and go swim
ming and eat everything in sight
if | were to be duck l would rath-
er be a drake they have a wide bill
like they use it for spade they
walk like a drunk man side to side
if you scare them they will flap
their wings and try to make a pass
at singing

The smoke had already attract.

They were watching it closely, and
the Cheyennes believed that it con-

faded against the sky, one of the
Pawnees rode almost within arrow
range of the trees. Then he stopped
and initiated the howl of the great
gray wolf. AS the long, piercing
wall echoed across the plain a
mighty shout arose from the oppo-
site side of the stream.

as the fox" said War Eagle.
AS the horsemen showed no incli-
nation to renew the fight, the Chcy-
ennes grew suspicious. They won

planning to combine their forces.
Perhaps the warriors on the other
side of the stream would abandon
their position and join their COM
panions on the plain. While the
Cheyennes were discussing the pos

from the west. He said the Pawnee
rider had reached the stream ahead

other side. As yet he had not re-
turned.

PawneeS will wait until it is dark"

AS the day wore on and the
PaWnees showed no further signs
of activity the Cheyennes called ip-
on their chief to lead them against

Baby Girl

There was once a baby girl born
to a king and queen. There was a

the baby was three years of age
she would play in the woods day
after day, rain or shine.
One day a toad came to her and
said, Here are some whistles that
will give you. Every time you
want an animal you whistle with
one of the whistles. There are
names on each whistle; some are
rabbit, deer, bear, reptiles, fox,
dogs, cats, rats. mice, wolf, horse,
zebra, fish, toads, zebu and frogs"
And that is why they call her the
woodland baby.

BETTER THINGS THAN PRIDE
Should Ambitious Boy Object to BE-
ing Treated Like Servant?

In the Woman's Home Companion
a successful business man quotes part
of a letter which he received concern
ing boy who wanted to became a
chauffeur in the summer months to
earn an education. The letter asks
Wouldn't he be treated exactly lik<
a servant?" to which the writer makes
the following comment:
yes, he probably would; but what
Of it? There is nothing degrading
about service. If your son wishes to
