was greatly relieved to see all the Quack family still there.
 "Oh." he panted, "I'm just in time"
 Just in time for what?" asked Mir. Quack.
 ''To warn you that it isn't safe for you to go to the Big River tonight" !" cried Peter. "I saw a hunter with a terrible gun going that way this after noon and he may be there yet"
 If Peter expected that his news would excite the Quack family he was mistaken, very much mistaken. In fact, it wasn't news at all "We saw a hun ter over there last night, and so we knew that the time has come for us to go," explained (Mr. Quack. We're ever so much obliged to you Peter, for trying to warn us and we're glad you've come in time to say good-by. Perhaps we'll see you again next spring. Take care of yourself and don't let Reddy

WITH LAFAYETTE IN 1924. Incident Of His Visit As Told In News
 narer Of That Date,

K The following anecdotes of Lafayette appeared in the National Gazette of August 28, 1924:
 As Lafayette passed the house of the late John Hancock in Boston, the mayor said to him: There sits the widows of your deceased friend" He immediately caught her eye, and in the most en- thusiastic manner pressed his hand upon his heart She burst into ters and exclaimed T have now lived long enough!"
 A man, while in conversation with Lafayette, observed he spoke the Eng fish language remarkably well: And why should not" he replied, being an

Pelham Chapter Arrangements
 For Sept. 27

In coming to Birmingham, Septem- Der 27, for the special purpose of re- ceiving in person the cross of service from Pelham chapter, United Daugh- ters of the Confederacy, both General W. l.. Sibert and General Robert E. Noble demonstrate the pride they feel in the military records of their fathers during the War Between the States ; the cross of service being military decoration bestowed by the Daughters of the Confederacy upon those men of lineal Confederate descent, who served actively in the World war.
 Some months ago Pelham chapter began arrangements for the decora- tion of these two great Alabama Der 27 and both generals have, dur. ing that time, been making their plans to be present in person to re- ceive the medal. It is an occasion of much importance to state and city and an opportunity to show honor to two of Alabama's great men.
 While the visit of General Sibert and General Noble to Birmingham at this time is for the sole purpose of receiving the medals, bestowed by Pel- ham chapter, the chapter has officially accepted for the generals, through it's committee on arrangements, the invi- tation of the Birmingham Southern college, to attend the opening cere- mony of Munger Bowl at 2 p. m. of September 27. Seats of honor hay ing been arranged for the generals and those accompanying them.
 Among the other distinguished guests will be Lieutenant Governor and Mrs. Charles E. Mcdowell, who will be guests of Pelham chapter for the day. Mrs. Mcdowell is state president of the United Daughters of the Confectionery.

do hope nothing will happen to them, 1" he said in a husky voice.
 "If it were not for the hunters with terrible guns nothing would, for Mir. Quack is smart enough to keep them from all other dangers and he has brough his children up to mind. They're as well trained a lot of young ducks as ever I've seen, and I've seen a great many" replied Paddy. But I dread those terrible guns," he added.
