All Night"
Cedar Rapids, Iowa. A PROSTATE
body, covered with a blanket, was
borne into the embalming room Of a
local morgue at the early hour of 2
a. m. Solemn-faced men stood by in
the dim light as the undertaken drew
back the blanket and gazed down on
the still face and the closed eyelids.
Suddenly the corpse sat up and
looked around.
"What place is this?" he asked un-
concernedly. can undertaker's? Well,
it's warm here anyway. Guess I'll
stay all night" And he settled back
to continue his nap, drawing the
blanket up around his chin.
There had been a most confusing
mistake.
A body destined for burial In this
city and an injured convict being re-

had told the driver of the morgue
wagon as he saw the stretcher bearing
the injured man hauled out of the bag
gage car. The driver asked no further
questions.
Nor did the deputy in charge of the
man interfere. He believed the wagon
to be an ambulance which had been
ordered to meet the train.
And the next minute the corpse"
was conversing pleasantly with the
custodian of the embalming fluids.
Was the undertaken frightened? He
was.

Owner sprInkIed Creek Bed WITH
Grain to Encourage Their
Activities.
Beaver. Okla.-E. There are miners
and miners, but lid you ever hear OF
ordinary Indian Runner ducks in that
roller No? Well. then, read on.
Joseph Bryson, who lives on a big
ranch on Ten Mile Creek, southwest
OF here, drives up in his automobile
about twice a year to the First Ma
tional Bank OF Liberal, Kan. and
deposits bag OF gold dust. Also Mr..
Pryson is constantly getting in big
shipments of Indian Runner ducks for
his ranch. These things cause some
of the country folk to call Mr.. Bryson
"Gold Dust Joe," and his ranch the
"Gold Duck Ranch"
For a long time no one thought OF
coupling the two-the ducks and the
gold dust. Bryson always said at the
bank that the gold dust came from
his claim in Arizona.
Then, 1t is said, came the discovery
that the gold dust came from the
ranch on Ten Mile Creek, and that
the placer mining was being done by
the thousands of ducks on the ranch.
Some of the "old timers" claim that
several years ago Bryson bought a
few pairs Of ducks and placed them
on his ranch for the eggs they might
produce. He had no idea that they
one day would be laying golden eggs
for him.
One day, say these old settlers, he
killed a couple of ducks for dinner. In
dressing them he was surprised to
find considerable quantity Of gold
dust in their craws and also lining the
stomach and intestines. He killed
some more. In nearly every bird gold
dust and fine nuggest were found.
AS the only possible explanation,
they quote the fact that Ten Mile
Creek, as other streams of the
section. rises in the edge Of New
Mexico. 1t is well known that gold
sands from Colorado and New Mexico
have been washed down the streams
and deposited in the sandy soil. The
ducks, in wading about in the mud
occasionally had dived down, taken up
bill full of mud, literally sprinkled
with gold dust, which stuck to their
craws or lined the walls Of the ston-
ach and intestines.
And" says an old farmer. .Bryson
began a systematic propagation OF
the ducks, and encouraged them to eat
plenty of mud. He sprinkled the bed
of the creek with grain and bugs to
encourage the ducks to get >mouthfuls
of the golden mud. OF course, he had
to kill a good many ducks to get much
gold, but the ducks are easily propa-
gated, and he shipped in many Of
them.
"The ducks yielded enough gold to
bank a substantial sum in gold dust
every six months. AS a by-product
the feathers were sold to an Eastern
concern. The carcasses were fed to
swine in the ranch and went far to-
ward fattening the hogs, with ration
Of grain. The ducks gave the pork
flavor which made his hogs in
demand"

Money Instead of Merchandise.

The original order that the ap-
prevail of a regimental or higher
commander was necessary before
packages might be sent to members
of the expeditionary forces has been
modified so officers with the rank of
major and higher may approve ship
ments. The approval of company
commander is not sufficient.
The question of the shipment of
parcels to France first came to the
attention of the War Department
when the commanding general of
the expeditionary forces cabled that
congestion, of such articles had
reached such point that French
railroads were unable to handle the
load. A board appointed by the Sec
rotary of War and the Postmaster
General examined 5000 sacks of
parcel post mail, and found that the
articles being sent not only, in the
main, were absolutely unnecessary,
but undesirable. The investigation
showed that the amount of such
mail had reached total of 100000
pounds week, and was steadily in
creasing.
Relatives and friends, according
to a recent statement by the War
Department, will find they often can
do a greater service to soldiers by
sending them money for the pur-
chase of articles in France than by
forwarding the articles. Tobacco is
now being supplied as part Of the
army rations, and merchandise of
nearly all kinds may now be pur-
chased in France thru the huge gen
eral store established by the Quarter
master Corps at lower prices than
charged by retailers here.

Mexican Labor.

To assist in meeting the present
shortage in unskilled labor restric-
lions have been temporarily removed
on the importation of Mexican la
Dor to be used in certain occupations.
This step supplements the order by
which the Department of Labor has
arranged to bring Porto Rican Ia
borers into this country for work on
Government contracts. 1t is esti-
mated that $4,000 islanders can be
brought in while transportation is
available.
New regulations on the subject of
Mexican labor contain rigid pro-
visions to prevent any attempt at
exploitation on the part of prospec-
tive employers. Wage rates current
for similar labor in the localities in
which the admitted alien is to be
employed are assured, as we'll as
good housing and sanitation condi-
tions.
Applications for permission to i'm
port Mexican labor under the new
provisions may be filed with United
States immigration or employment
service officials, giving the number
of laborers desired, class of work and
place of employment.

Precious Little Baby.

The death angel visited our home
on Monday, June "a, 1918, and
claimed our darling baby, c. d. Gray.
Funeral services were conducted by
Rev. G.. T. Sellars and the little
body was laid to rest in the Shady
Grove Cemtery Tuesday afternoon at
4:3O O'Clock.
Little C. D. was sick only a few
days with fiux and all that loving
hands could do was done. We
could not keep him, as 1t was our
dear Lords will to relieve our dar-
ling from mis- suffering in his own
way. 1t was hard for us to give up
our precious little one. He was only
two years of age the 18th of this
month and had learned to, be so
sweet and made our home so happy.
Oh, how we'll miss his little foot
steps and the sweet voice. Just the
morning before he passed away he
raised up in the bed before we had
gotten up and called, Papa, dink. :"
He couldn't say he wanted drink of
water.
"A precious one from US has gone,
A voice we loved is still:
A place is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filled.
"God in his wisdom has recalled
The boon His love has given;
And tho the body moulders here,
The soul is safe in heaven"
Thus, sweet and precious c. D..
made earth light of love till angels
boar him to Jesus arms above.
