    THE EAGLE,
Housekeeping Big Chore on The Hill Picnic at Park Attracts Group
Everything is quiet up on the
Hill of many troubles at the
present time; too quiet, ominous­
ly so. The Old Man is ap­
prehensive that it is just the lull
before the storm and something
is liable to break loose at any
time. Of course there are the
minor problems that are always
present, but his scientific friend
came and got his frogs and that
was one trouble off his mind.
But a pesky rat had been raid­
ing his baby bantam chicks and
had carried off two of them
before his depredations were dis­
covered.
The Old Man removed the
banty hen and her chicks to a
place of safety and the old
'Muscovie mama duck promptly
moved into ths vacated coop
with her brood of ducklings. Mr.
rat evidently decided that a gos-
lin would make as good a meal
as a baby chick, but he failed
to take into consideration the old
Muscovie drake,
The old drake
is as. big as a
;oose and has a
?eak like a steel
rap. He is very
proud of his
amily and is
always on guard.
There was a
commo tion in
The Old Man the barnyard;
On Ths Hill the hens cackl­
ing, the guineas chattering like
a machine gun and the banties
whooping it up, but no sound
from the Muscovie ducks, as they
are quackless and can only make
a wheezing or whistling sound.
What transpired the Old Man
oRker knew, but when he went
to investigate he found the old
Muscovie drake proudly wad-
dling up and down before his
admiring family, a big rat, very
dead, dangling from his beak.
A few days ago Ma missed her
footing and got a fall and sprain­
ed her ankle. It was nothing
serious but she had to stay in
bed for a couple of days and the
Old Man was cast for the roll
of cook, nurse, housekeeper and
general factotum. Until one has
tried it he never knows how
much there is to just keeping
house. As the Old Man puts it
“that proverbial cat on tin roof
is a .sluggard when compared
to my activities th- last few days.
“Not only is there the house­
work to do, but there are the
ducks and chickens to care for
besides the garden work, and
whtn the day is done and I have
locked up the henhouse and put
Bingo to bed, when weary and
exhausted I tumble into bed, I
would be prodded out at inter­
vals to give medicine, git a glass
of water or rub linament on ach­
ing joints.
“I sure hope Ma gets well soon
and I am doing my best to speed
that welcome day. I have become
very proficient in arranging a

inviting.
“You see, Ma won’t eat as much
as she should and it taxes my
ingenuity to arose her jaded ap­
petite. I tried putting a shot of
O. B. Joyful in her tea and it
perked her up amazingly. At
first she was a bit suspicious of
the taste, but I told her that
Sam’s Grocery was all out of
OOlong tea and I had to get
TOOlong tea which accounted
for the flavor.
“She said she believed she
liked it better than the kind
we had been using. If she finds
out, I am liable to be in the
doghouse for a long time for
she is a deaconess, or something,
in the church and a strong pro­
hibitionist, but I had to do some­
thing to pep her up.
