SIR DAVID DUCK.
6y Nary Graham B. bonnsI l,r.st

"David Duck said Dad ", "was
such proud duck and he struttcd
and quacked so much that everyone in
the barnyard called him Sir David
Duck.
"One day, not long ago, Sir David
Duck, quacked and quacked and
wobbled about and made a great fuss.
All the ducks came around, as did
most of the other barnyard creatures.
"What is 1t that you have to say,
Sir David? they all asked him. Have
you something to tell us, Sir DavidT
"Now Sir David was very fond of
his title. He liked to be called by
such n name and have all the barn

always a very sensible thing to do.
Ears weren't given creatures to see
with any more than mouths were
given people or creatures to hear
with
"An the creatures looked at each
other and said,
"'Oh, isn't Sir David so very, very
wiser
"He nodded as If he agreed with
them and continued,
ayes, / listen when l hear and

every interesting, very interesting
said the other creatures of the barn
yard.
"'And 1 heard these two people
talking as 1 have already begun to
tell you.
"Listen,' they all said, Sir David
is about to tell us his story
"'These two people were men, both
were men, for when 1 say two were
men it means the same as when l say
both were men,
"'How very wise said the other
barnyard creatures, he has more than
one way of expressing himself.
"'One was young man and the
other was young man, and two

they don't mean an old man. You
might think, creatures, that one young
man and another young man added
together would make one old man, but
1t doesn't, no it doesn't Young men
don't go together like that
"How wisely he talks said the
barnyard creatures. So, as they liked
whatever he said, and as they thought
he was so fine Sir David thought so
too and went on saying the most
ridiculous things as though they were
splendid and never became any smart
er because no one ever said,
"Its jolly to hear what ycu have
to say, but it's not so very clever.
"'WelI,' continued Sir David, these
two young men told of a duck they
had seen like me. 1t had been make
believe duck, one made out of board
or wood or some such thing and 1t
was supposed to be a wild duck.
".Of course they knew 1 wasn't a
wild duck and they knew they mustn't
harm me. But for moment l felt
a little bit worried until l saw that
they thought it was funny that this
make-believe duck hadn't been better
made, and that they knew while we
might look alike, that l was tame
duck and that no one could harm me.
"'But the point of my story is that
this make-believe duck was in sport
ing shop where it was sitting on the
end of a canoe and that this sporting
shop was advertising to sell guns ana
things to catch ducks who would come
and sit on the end of canoes.
"'The foolish thing to my mind was
that people could get up such silly
things and could believe that ducks
ever would come and sit on the end
of canoe where there was man
and a gun and would say,
"'Pray shoot me, good people,.
"'These two young men merely
thought it was funny that looked so
much like the make-believe duck, but

"sThere are some creatures who
don't understand our cousins, the
wild ducks, if they think they sit
around on canoes waiting to be shot.

wouldn't work for one) really wanted

for 1000 cubic feet, of one-half cent
for the one cake.
The time required to heat the oven
before baking begins also varies great
Iy in the two kinds. The small oven
will come up to 800 degrees F. in five
minutes while the range oven requires
twenty to thirty. Therefore, If the
oven is to be used for only a short
time the small oven would be a great
advantage.
The small oven, nevertheless, has
it's disadvantages. A cake so big that
its edges are rather close to the sides
of the oven will not be well baked,
because the heat at the sides will be
much greater than in the center. Dish
es requiring an even temperature,
very high or a very low temperature
for certain length of time, are not
successfully baked in the small oven
unless close attention is paid to the
regulation of the heat. This Is true
because the temperature of the oven
is variable. Its sides are thin and the
bottom does not well retard the pass
age of heat. For the breakfast muf-
fins or the baking powder biscuits for
dinner, however, the small oven is ex-
| cellent.
If one dish of the meal should re-
| quire the range oven, plan to bake as
much of the remainder of the dinner
as possible, for in that way the heat
will not be wasted. For instance, II
the main dish of the meal is to be
big casserole of tomato, cheese and
rice, it would be wise to choose baked
potatoes rather than boiled, and
baked dessert In preference to pud-
ding made In the double boiler. Ii
oven room permits, mullins or biscuits
would add greatly to the meal ond
would require little extra fuel.

mittee is going into the industry in
order to revise the tariff, touching
merchandise articles. Pearl but
tons have figured in every tariff re-
vision since revision was heard of.
There was long discussion among
Republican leaders concerning the ma
ture of the tariff legislation which the
majority In congress should attempt
to undertake. The first suggestion was
that complete tariff bill should b.
written, even though the chance that
after it's enactment 1t would be sign
ed by the president of the United
States was remote.
Some of the Republican leaders
urged a complete tariff bill in order
to put the party on record and to let
the country know just what it Is In
tended to do If the Republican party
shall come into complete control Of
the government on March 4, 1921.
Other leaders suggested that only
martial revision of the tariff should
he attempted. This counsel was fol-
lowed with the result that the ways
and means committee Of the house
now is holding hearings on revision OF
some of the present tariff rates. 1t Is
expected by the majority thnt the pres
ident will sign the bill, because the
intention Is to confine the revisions
TO such conditions as have appealed
for remedy to both political parties.

When making mincemeat try using
