FOOTED DUCK
BEING SHOWN BY THE
II WORTHAMS AT FAIR

What Is it that walks like a duck.
qlacks like a duck, flies like q duck
and. has three feet?
Theffanswer is a duck with three
g With the Workman shows at
the fair grounds is a barn yard fowl
that is fbtted with three pedals. The
third foot grows out the side Of the
head, and Of course is OF no use in
walking. But 1t makes the bird an
oddity-one hundred and sixty-seven
dollars worth.
Barney is the name of this odd bird.
She was Matched on a farm In st.
Louis For weeks h ran around
with other ducks and the farmer that
owned her saw no especial value in
that third foot. One day a travelling
man happened along and saw the bird.
He at ono t~elegraphed the Worth
am shows of the existence of her
buckets. The answer came to send
privilege OF examination. If she show
ed up to specifications his price would
be paid.
So Barney made the trip to Cali
fornia. One look at her was enough.
The one hundred and fifty dollars, or
cost, price of the duck, along with the
insurance and all collect charges was
paid on the spot Barney is quite q
pAtsaround&the shows. She has been
taught little odd tricks and is quick
and proud of her ability as ar enter
tainer.
The WORKMAN shows still continue
popular. The midway at h fair Is
thronged morning, afternoon and
night by pleasureseekers. The shows
Ire enjoying a most prosperous run.
