Hans and the Decoys Explain a Mad Dutchman Ducks Trick
A jovial Teuton named Hans Hammeltau, known as Dutch John, is fooled by boys who set wooden decoy ducks in a pond. He fires three times, each shot driving the windblown decoys back to safety, believing demons or devils hold the birds. Hans pays $3.50 to learn he was tricked.
