There was a frog and cphalent, and tie
eplalent it sed to the frog:
Were wudeyou be if wude step onto you :"
The frog it sed:
You must be a nifty big fool if you think
such an act as that wude make me go away.
The ephalent sed he ment wot wude become
of the frog, which thOt while ana then SEQ,
the frog did

Then the ephalent made hgger out OF

and wocked away like he was tickle to deth

Il only irs, clcercd the stone, but the frog 1t
went up 50 hi that ii hurt itself coming down,
and cudn't lump no more al all, and the tode
beet 1t the other times
Then Billy he spoke up and sed:
$50 the t0de won the rubber?' and Mister
Pitched he sed: William, don't kno wot you
mean by rubber cos its word wich isn't in
the bible and is the speech of the worldly and
the sinfle; but William, il is true that is was
ordained by Providence that the todc got away

Some tricks IN "Parlor Magic" printed in
juvenile publications are very amusing, as
well as very simple. The Enchanted Pin" y for
instance. To perform this trick you take
common brass pin, such as man sometimes
asses 20 fastcn his shirtcollar when rear but
ton flies off To satisfy your audience that the
pin doesn't contain false bottom, let them
have il IN their hands to inspect. This will
convince them that there is no deception
about IT, Now, bend the pin IN two places
first, about onethird from the head, and second,
the same distance from the point, so that the
business end will project upward. Again
snow the pin to your audience, III order TO sa-
tsfy them that i, is the same pin, only bent
hent on mischief Now, place the pin on a
hard-botomed chair, and, when late visitor
enters, invite him TO SIT on the chair The et-
iect will DC magical. If the ceiling is not

ties are that the man will arise 50 spontaneous

were committed, the Gazette" is al
most knocked breathless by the as
founding news from California that the
Republicans have carried the State. 1t
don't know what to do about 1t and SO
it lust treats the news as It does the re-

simply saying that they are pack of
Radical lies. To prove that the Re.

the kentucky election where large
gains were reported in favor of the

figures carefully Of that election and
comparing them with the present year,
we find the result as follows:
