none ever felt greater. responsibility.
Since he had been paid in cash by Mr..

him with an old purse and had allowed
him to carry in it sum never ex-
ceeding twenty cents, usually in as
small change as provided by the
United States treasury. The very
loosest Of this loose change he could
spend without supervision up to and
including ten cents a week; larger
investments were subject to decision
in conference. Crink's pride had
reached dangerous proportions. He
was even glad that the purse was old ];
it looked more as though his financial
experience reached gratifyingly into
the past. Moreover, by keeping the
inside pocket of the purse stuffed
with chips from the kitchen woodpi1e,
he was able to give the impression of
abundant resources beyond the
amount which he chose to spend at
the moment.

And Mother Duck looked very proud
and happy. Sometimes she was
called Mother Duck and sometimes
Mrs. Duck. Of course Mrs. Duck was
what she had been called but she
quacked so proudly about the beauty
and the brightness of her children
that most of the barnyard creatures,
as well as her own ducklings, began
calling her Mother Duck, too.
"Grunt, grunt," said Sammy Saus-
age, ''you may think you're very
bright and a very good mother, and
that your children are very bright and
very good children, but think all of
you are absurd"
"Quack, quack, what in the world,
or the barnyard, do you mean?" asked
Mrs Duck.
II cannot understand it. Not for

plants Sensitive to LIGHT.

Plants are sensitive to light. Many
move during the day to turn the faces
of their flowers to the sui. Others
open only when the daylight is dying
and when the moths on whom they
rely to carry their pollen are abroad.
A scientist engaged recently in taking
photographs of leaves through the
microscope was surprised to discover
that some of them showed hundreds
of little round patches. each of which
reflected the image Of some object, just
as do the facets of the compound eye
of an insect. Closer examination
proved that each of these patches con-
sisted Of a cell whose rounded outer
wall formed a perfect lens. A plant
lives by the process of bottling up
sunshine, whose action produces chem
ical changes within the leaves and the
stem. These forces focus the suns
rays and enable the work TO be done
effectively.

THE DUCKS

"Quack, quack," said Mrs. Duck.
"Quack, quaclI," said Sir David
Duck.
"Quack. quack," said the little Duck
lings.
Nov you know how you must sleep,
don't you, precious ducklings?" asked
Mrs Duck.
Eyes, Mother Duck" answered the
little ducklings. yes, quack, Quack,
we know.
"And we will show you, Mother
Duck, so you will see that we know.
'sThat is right, quack, quack,' said
Mother Duck.
THAT is right, quack, quack," said
Sir David Duck.
So the little ducklings showed Mrs.
Duck and Sir David Duck and all the
older ducks how they would be able
to sleep in the. water, which was
what Mother Duck wanted to know.
They showed her how they would
hold one foot up under them and with
the other they would keep their same
position in the water.
That is, they would paddle with
that one foot even as they slept-it
was very simple and easy to do after
a short time and they would keep in
the same place that way. OF course
on the farm they could not go far.
But it was well to learn all duck
lessons, for if ever they should be
sleeping in the open-in a large body
of water-then they would need to
know this lesson.
"Quack, quack, said Mother Duck,
''you all know your lesson well, and
it delights Mother Ducks heart"
''You do, indeed, know your lesson
well,'' said Sir David Duck. you are
good, bright ducks. No one could

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never !.
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. It stands the highest for
it's remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one Of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applications
are declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease. DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root is on sale at all drug stores in bottles
of two Sizes medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilm2r & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Advertisemen
