Dick CloBter recently figured out a
proposition by which in a few years he
could make a fortune, and with his
usual energy, at once went to work to
get. the scheme to operating. Dick's
idea was a duck ranch. He figured that
a good duck, with the maternal instinct,
well developed, would, with a few bot
tles of "Swellin's food," be able to
hatch and care for two broods of duck
lings in a year. Each brood would con
tain six ducks and eix dudes. Each of
the six ducks would in turn hatch two
broods, so that at the end of the second
year, not allowing anytbing for infan
tile duck diseases, he would have, with
a starter of one pair, 156 ducks and 156
drakes. Keeping the ducks and selling
the drakes, the third year he would have
2,040 ducks, and also 1,872 drakes
for sale.' The fourth year he would
have 26,520 ducks, and for sale 24,430
drakes. He had estimated ' that' the
sale of the drakes would pay all running
expenses, so that each year his ducks
would be left as clear profit. At the
end of the fifth year the ducks would
number 344,760, and the drakes, which,
of course, he would sell, would be 318,
240. The sixth year he would have
4,181,880 ducks and 3,837,120 drakes, or
a total of 8,019,000. These Dick would
sell at $3 per dozen, a conservative
price, and would . retire from business
with $2,004,750, which any one will ad
mit is a handsome sum to be accumu
lated in six years from one dozen duck
eggs as the original capital.
Last week Dick j purchased a round
dozen duck eggs of the Clydesdale
brand and took them home to begin the
creation of his fortune; but an unex
pected difficulty arouse. None of Dick's
hens showed any inclination to set, and
of course time was too valuable to be
wasted. Dick put the eggs in a nice
ice ne8t in a barrel, and then captured
a hen and enclosed her with them ; but
the old proverb says "one man may
lead a horse to-water, but ten men can't
make him drink." Dick found the
duck eggs under did Mother Goose, and
then went home to complete his calcu
lations. He went back in half an hour,
and arrived just in time to see the goose
eat the last of his duck eggs.
And that is how Dick Closter lost $2,-
004,750 in less than six years, in the
poultry business.

Velarde Bros, are unloading a' big safel same rule true among the gallinaceous

of Federal street. The safe is the prop

pounds. J. C. Crandall,-Hugh Glenn'
and some others are making a series of
calculations, endeavoring to discover
whether the safe will go in the building,
or the building in the safe. At present
the question is undecided, the proposi
tion being as doubtful as that timenonV
ored puzzle of trying to discover whica
was the smaller of two joints of stove
pipe -when each was larger than the
other. Tba safe will be gotten out this
afternoon and if the foot of Federal
street, when that safe rests on it, doesn't
cause the head thereof to swear it will
be because it has no corns.

Dick, knowing the perverseness of the
sex, yielded to the inevitable and began
to look around for some other mother
for the ducklings. He bad a dog, but
he was of the yellow, short-haired vari
ety, aDd not a setter. The cow, the
horse and a pet lamb were all considered
as to their possibilities as incubators,
and all dismissed from the calculation.
By this time Dick was getting wild
and had about come to the conclusion
he would have to do the settiog himself,
indeed it is said that he had begun to
cluck when he got up in the morning,
when he discovered that' an old goose
had deposited two eggs in her nest and
had commenced to incubate. Dick was
happy, and at once placed his dozen
The Payton Comedy Co. concludad a
successful engagement of three nights at
the U. 8. hall in Jacksonville, on Satur
day evening. . It is a strong one, being
composed of competent ar fists headed by
Senator and Lucy Payton,-whose abil
ities are well known. On Thursday
evening "The Gold King," a popular
comedy-drama, was admirably presented
to a fair-sized audience. The excellence
of the performance brought out a much
larger crowd on Friday, to witness the
charming rendition of a "Noble Outcast,"
a play full of pathos and abounding in
thrilling situations. East Lynne was
put on at the Saturday matinee, to the
satisfaction of many ladies and children,
and the engagement closed that evening
with the production of "Uncle Joshua
Whitcomb," when the hall was again
well filled. The last proved a fitting
finale to the company's engagement, be
ing so well performed that Landlord
DeRoboam entertained serious fears for
the safety of his roof. The singing al
ways gained an encore, while D. E.
Curts' topical eongs and Lloyd Fansher's
sentimental ballads came in for a liberal
Bhare of approbation. The Times' space
is too limited to give the notice due each
individual member of the troupe. Suf
fice it to say that they are all clever and
painstaking, and received their full
meed of praise. The orchestra and band
which accompanies them is also more
than average in ability, and aided
materially in the good impression left
by the Paytons. Jacksonville Times. .
This celebrated troupe will appear at

Hi There!
The water commission has ordered
that the rules concerning the use of
water for irrigation be printed and
posted upon the gates of consumers, so
that all may understand what the rules
are. This has been done as ordered.
The great waste of water heretofore, and
the limited supply make the enforce
ment of these rules absolutely neces
sary. All consumers will please take
notice of these regulations, and in case
of a violation of the rules, the water will
be at once shut off and a charge of $1
will be made before again making the
connections
