Those Ducks.

“ My darling,” says Mr. Sadrake, who had been ostensibly duck-shooting at San Mateo all the day and night previous, “ did the office-boy bring you those ducks I shot, as I told him ? ” “ No, sir, he did not,” replied Mrs. S., in an icy and appalling manner; “but the butcher’s boy has been here to say that, as he cannot fill your order for wild ducks to-day, he sends you a half-dozen tame ones instead.” Tableau.— San Frarwisco Newsletter.
