Farmer Tames Wild Ducks.

AS a rule, it is difficult to wean wild
life from it's love of wild environment,
and the wild instinct is handed down
to several generations Of descendants.
That fact makes rather notable the
successful experiment of Mr.. w. F.
Smith, a farmer of North Vancouver,
B. @. He has captured wild ducks
that make his farm their home, al
though they have enjoyed freedom
for some time, and their young are
even more domesticated than ordinary
domestic ducks.
Three years ago Mr.. Smith bagged
two Mallard ducks in a wounded con-
dition and nursed, them back to health.
The ducks returned the kindness with
regular contributions of eggs, and Mr..
Smith has been in a position to enjoy,
irrespective Of closed seasons and
game laws, Mallard duck and Mallard
eggs as a regular item of his family
bill-of-fare.
The birds require no particular care
and no watching nor enclosed runs,
In fact the descendants Of the origin
al birds have become more domesti-
Gated than the ordinary domestic duck
never making any attempt to fly. AL
though being free to roam in the woods
they always return home at sundOwn

FOR THIRTY-TWo YEARS
French Beggsr, Breaking Long 81
lenee, Voices Poor Opinion Of
Majority Of Fellow Men.

Silently, for he was rated as a deaf
mute, he stood about In the shadows
Of old Notre Dame, In Paris, and
asked aims of passers-by. BE was g
beggar, but a keen observer and bit
Of a philosopher also. Tall and gaunt,
he left a lasting impression on all
who passed. Thus in the 80 years
during which he worked at his trade
Of beggar in the same nelghbOrhood
he became widely-known character,
although he had never done anything
except ask aims with a gesture.
From time to time the police ar
rested him and charged him with
mendicancy, but each time the doc
tors examination indicated that he
was deaf and dumb.
The other day a new policeman was
put on the beat. He did not know
the beggar's reputation and so he ar
rested him. But the inspector prompt
ly ordered his release. eve know him
WELL" he explained to the new police
man. "The poor fellow is deaf and
dumb"
To his amazement, the beggar re-
piled to him, saying:
81 am sorry to contradict you, In
spector, but can speak and hear as
well as you. During the 80 years that
have kept silence and earned my
livelihood by maintaining this decep-
tiOn, have seen and heard so many
lies and so much harshness and hy'
pocrisy that l am determined for once
to give vent to my feelings, even Il
l have to go to prison for it. shall
at least be able to say that have
told the truth once during my life
And that is the last thing shall evel
say"
The man then resumed his silence
and nothing has induced him to breal
it again. Inquiries showed that dur
ing his 80 years Of silence he hat
learned" a comfortable little fortune
and was on the point Of retiring.

street seemed wholly unable to pene-
trate the thick branches of the trees.
He could even hear the leaves whisk-
ing and flicking together, and when
man can discern this, he can hear the
cushions of a mountain lion on trail
at night. OF course Dan Failing had
never heard a mountain lion. Except
on the railroad tracks between, he
had never really been away from
cities in his life.
At once his thought went back to
the doctors words. They were still
repeating themselves over and over
in his ears, and the dector's face was
still before his eyes. 1t had been "a
kind face; the lips had even curled in
little smile of encouragement. But
the doctor had been perfectly frank,
entirely straightforward. There had
been no evasion in his verdict.
1--WE made every test" he said.
'"They're pretty well shot. OF course,
YOU can go to some sanitarium, If
you've got the money. If you haven't
enjoy yourself all you can for about
six months"
Dams voice had been perfectly cool
and sure when he replied, He had
smiled little, too. He was still rath-
er proud of that smile. "Six months
Isn't that rather short"
"Maybe whole lot shorter. think
that's the limit"
There was the situation: Dan Fall
ing had but six months to live. He
began to wonder whether his mother
had been entirely wise in her effort to
keep him from the trough games" of
the boys of his own age. He realized
now that he had been an underweight
all his life-that the frailty that had
thrust him to the edge of the grave
had begun in his earliest bOyhood. But
It wasn't that he was born with ply
steal handicaps. He had weighed
full ten pounds; and the doctor had
told his father that a sturdier little
chap was not to be found in any ma
ternity bed in the whole city. But his
! mother was convinced that the Chile

CHAPTER l.

Dan Failing stepped out Of the ele-
vatOr and was at once absorbed in
the crowd that ever surged up and
down Broad street. He was just one
Of the ordinary drops Of water, not
an interesting, elaborate, physical and
chemical combination to be studied
on the slide of a microscope He
wore fairly passable clothes, neither
rich nor shabby. He was tall man,
but gave no impression Of strength
because of the exceeding spareness Of
his frame. AS long as he remained
in the crowd, he wasn't important
enough to be studied. But soon he
turned off, through the park, and
straightway found himself alone.
The noise and hustle OF the crowd
never loud or startling, but so contin-
uOus that the senses are scarcely
more aware of them than of the beat
ing of ones own heart-suddenly and
utterly died almost at the very border
Of the park. The noise from the

ly know GitcheapoIis now. The busi-
ness district has increased tenfold.
And the place where used to be the
pool and the playground Of Dan Fail
ing is now laid off in as green and
pretty city park as one could wish
to see.
Some day, when the city becomes
more prosperous, pair Of swans and
herd of deer are going to be intro
duced, to restore some Of the natural
wild life of the park. But in the sum-
mer of 1919, a few small birds and
possibly half dozen pairs of squir-
rels were the extent and limit Of the
wild creatures. And at the moment
this story opens, one Of these squir-
rels was perched on a wide-spreading
limb Overarching a gravel path that
slanted through the sunlit park. The
squirrel vas hungry. He wished that
some one would come along with
nut.
There was a bench beneath the tree.
If there had not been, the life of Dan
Failing would have been entirely diff
ferent. If the squirrel had been on
any other tree, if he hadn't been
hungry, If any one Of a dozen other
things hadn't been as they were, Dan
Failing would have never gone back
to the land of his people. The little
bushy-tailed fellow on the tree limb

in his dedicatory address upon the
occasion of the formal opening Of
that institution. Equipped with every
device known to science for the cor
rect diagnosis of human ailments, the
splendid edifce, with grounds and
furnishing costing well over $5OO,OOO,
is designed TO serve as clearing
house of the latest and best develop
ments in all branches of the healing
arts. Here the claims of all systems
Of allieviating or curing human
maladies will be given impartial,
scientific analysis, and the true in

of vision on the part Of its founders,
which is destined to insure the Cleve-

As a big twin-six pulled up along
side a rail fence in one of the poorest
counties in a certain state, the driver
asked the farmer who was plowing in
the field: "Am l on the right road to
the county seat?"
The farmer had no more than an
swered "yes" when there came an
other question from one Of the seven
passengers: MY good man, are you
able to make living off land like
this?"
AS the farmer wiped the sweat of
his brow, he replied: "Yes, and now
before you start to pity me, l just
want to tell you don't waste your

Bathing came to Europe as one Of

Knights of the Cross found baths in
general use among the Sarscens, and
seeing what good things they were,
on returning from those wars took the
initiative for their Introduction. In
this they were highly successful first
in England and from that to other

"Maud is in n terrible predicament.
That rich old man she has promised
to marry has offered to have his life
insured in her favor"

physical condition is such that any
insurance company will accept him as
a risk she doesn't want to marry him."

lates him, the second time everybody
gets suspicious, and the third time
everybody >guesses it's about time to
stop the game"
