Story of Incubator 11ml Its
Siirprihliu; Product.
$ J $ $ ! $ $ ! 4 J $ $ !
Some time ago, before Jack Flana
gan left for Curry county on his
hunting trip, his many friends were
much worried at his very peculiar
actions. It was not an uncommon
sight to see him walking dejectedly
down the street, apparently oblivious
to all surroundings, and scarcely re
sponding to the cheery howdy of his
multitude of old-time pals and life
long acquaintances. He was at times
seen In earnest conversation with
Dr. Straw and Ivy Condron, but noth
ing definite could bo obtained from
either gentleman, and at last tho
gloom seemed to settle upon ovory
one. Suddenly the clouds were lifted
and Jack appeared upon our streets
as cheery and genial as over, but no
Information could bo obtained. When
finally, through roundabout channels
the story was consumated, and here
it is.
When Gow Why's last b'aby was
born, Dr. Straw was the attending
physician. The baby was very deli
cate, and tosavo the little one's llfo
Dr. Straw wired the Chutes in San
Francisco to forward at once a baby
incubator. It's wholesome effect up
on tho little ono Is apparent today
to all who have seen Gow's rolly
polly, husky llttlo boy. Of course
the Incubator fell Into disuse and was
placed In stock by Gow. Ono night
this summer, while tho doctor and
Ivy were returning from council
meeting, Ivy complained to tho Doc
tor of tho scarcity of spring chickens.
When, like a flash, Dr. Straw pro
posed that they raise their own
chickens, saying: "Wo can borrow
Gow's baby incubator and with tho
addition of an egg-tray it will work
as good as any." Gow was consulted
and gladly mado tho loan. Tho ma-
chlno was at onco removed to tho
Doctor's rosldenco and placed In his
back yard. So far so good. Tho
necessary egg-tray was subr.tltutod
for tho llttlo woolen baby blankets,
and tho gun was ready to load. De
ciding the best was nono too good,
Jack Flanagan was consulted, and
tho Luther Burbank of tho poultry
world of Plat B sold them a setll'jg
of hs now blend of chlx, called thn
"Sigma Chi Duckwings," and tho en
gine was started. Ono morning,
about three wooks later, Mrs. Straw
heard the plaintive pip of tho now
born, and rushing in shq oxcltcdly
told tho Doctor of tho success of tho
Incubator. The Doctor phoned Ivy,
and It was with great gusto and gleo,
they opened the drawer and thero
was tho first llttlo product. Bqforo
tho day was dono, ovory egg had
hatched, and Ivy and tho Doctor kept
various swinging doors on the turn
all afternoon and evening. Tho lit
tle dnes thrived, but their make-up
seemed all to run to BUI. As they
grew larger ana their bills developed,
the Doctor became alarmed and took
Jack up to seo them. It was a new
one on Jack. And the cause of his
deep abstraction was trying to figure
out the reason. Ho was about to
give It up, when, 0110 morning ho
happened to run across one of Frank
Wnlte's and Major Kinney's pet sea
gulls laying an egg In a Sigma Chi
nest.
Tho mystery was at last solved,
nnd gathering a new sitting of his
Oklahoma Reds he hurriedly came to
town and explained all to the Doctor
and Ivy. Frank Walto hitched up
his team and hauled back to Plat B
tho motherless gulls, whereuhc and
tho Major are acting a3 foster par
ents to them. Tho machine was onco
more loaded and tho Doctor and Ivy
arc living In anticipation of winter
evenings spent eating their fall
springers. Truly, a happy ending.
MAJOR KINNEY WILL
HAVE OPERATION
Major L. D. Kinney, who was down
from Plat B yesterday was seen by a
Times reporter and questioned re
garding his going to a hospital for
an -operation. The Major said ho
would not submit to any operation
until he was out of debt for he de
sired that any sympathy arising from
such a contingency should be genuine,
and not out of anxiety over a possi
bility of losing standing accounts. Mr.
Kinney 'has been troubled with a
mnlady which has been diagnosed as
necrosis of the sternum and his phy
sician says an operation is necessary
for its relief.
