The Serene Duck Hunter 



How True Duck Hunters Stand 

 Together 



When the ducks have ceased to fly 

 for the day the serene duck hunter 

 returns to camp in a tranquil, satis- 

 fied frame of mind befitting his fra- 

 ternity membership. He has several 

 ducks actually in hand, and he has 

 fully enjoyed the self-deception and 

 pretense which have led him to the 

 belief that he has shot well. His few 

 confessed misses are all satisfactorily 

 accounted for; and he is too well 

 broken to the vicissitudes of duck 

 shooting, and too old a hunter, to be 

 cast down by the bad fortune which 

 has thickly scattered, over distant 

 waters and marshes, his unrecovered 

 dead.
