A Calamity That Happened to That En-
terprising Journal
ExpLANAroRY-As we were ready to
go to press with our inside pages
Wednesday afternoon we discovered
that we had no ink A half breed

the Kicker Office. had stolen the keg
the night before and gone off to the
hills with it to have a spree He had
tasted printers ink and liked it and
probably thought it would bring big
drunk" quicker and last longer than
whisky.
As we couldn't find Joe, and as our
esteemed contemporary down the
street never uses real ink, we had to
manufacture something out of lamp
black and cactus juice. We can't say
stances, we, hope our subscribers will
bear with us. We have fourteen men
out on mules looking for the half
breed, and have no doubt he will soon
be located and portion of the ink re-
covered.

were brought back to us. The boys
buried him where he felix which is on
lovely little mound about thirteen
miles due northwest of the town. We
bear him no ill-will. Having got
through with this inky life we trust
that he will sleep peacefully and well.
No OUTSIDE PoETRY-An average of
thirty poems, idyls, refrains etc, reach
this office every week from parties liv-
ing at distance, While the Kicker
publishes great deal of poetry it is
poetry written at home by local poets.
We want no outside contributions in
this line. This apparently unjust dis
elimination is entirely governed by cir
cumstances. When a local poet dashes
off something good he or she at once
canters down to this office and hands it
in for publication We must either
publish it or be shot at For year or
so we preferred the shooting, bat find
ing that the noise and excitement I'M
strung the nerves Of the compositors
and. interfered with getting out job
work on time, we finally accepted the
poetry. 1t is no better than outside
poetry, but outsiders can't shoot at us.

Disposing of An Edition.

r. Thoreau was once able to boast that
he had on his shelves library of sew
eral hundred volumes, the greater part
OF which he had written himself. His
publishers could not dispose of the first
edition of his first book. and thinkirg
it useless to keep the volumes longer,
had sent them to their author. An
other equally famous American author
had better luck in disposing Of his first
literary venture, though he found the
public no more eager in their welcome
of his genius than they were for
Thoreau's work. James Russell Low
ell brought out his first volume of
poems at his own risk-a modest edi-
ton of five hundred copies. Small as
the edition was however, it was not
small enough. and the young poet
seemed in danger OF heavy loss; but
fate was kinder than the so-callcd
reading public.n His publishers
warehouse took fire, the books were
burned, and they were fully insure |!
Not only had the poet lost nothing, hut
he could boast with truth that the first
edition of his book was exhausted. lie
had sold it to this insurance company.

Cxar Reed Attempts . Continuance 81
His Bullying Tactics.
Ex-Spealxer Reeds attempted criti-
cism of Speaker Crisp's ruling on the
question of -in-congress
was ill-timed and pointless. II was
worse even than that for 1t was
the malicious effort OF bafied and
disappointed usurper to vent his rage
upon man who respects the constitu-
ton and the rights of the representa-
tives of free people. Mr. Reed is so
pulled up by the recent decision of the
supreme court sustaining his quorum
counting rule that he fails to discern
the distinction between upholding
rule and the propriety of establishing
such rule If the late congressional
czar possessed average discretion he
would be very quiet upon the subjec.
of quorum in the presence Of man
who, when their positions in the house
were reversed, proved more than .
match for the temporary autocrat.
There is another reason for Reeds
silence on this point which he would
appreciate if he were not insensible to
humiliation. He led his party by his
revolutionary practices to the most
disastrous defeat in its history. Any
man not having the skin of a rhinoc-
eros would in Reeds place feel keenly
the shame and disgrace of that defeat
But the ex-speaker, like genuine re-
publican, ignores the crushing condem-
nation of himself and his rules by the
final arbiters, the people, and finds
cause for gayety in the technical ruling
of court. The mockery of his pre-
tended smartness is strikingly shown
by the absence from their seats of some
two hundred republican members Of
congress for whose defeat at -the.last-
election he and his rules are largely
responsible. Chicago Herald.

York rity consumes 90. 900 pounds Il
frogs legs annually, which retail at
thirty cents pound. Recently at
tempts have been madesto can the legs
for market
To prevent these valuable animals
from being altogether exterminated
certain persons have recently undertake
en- the task Of breeding and rearing
them by artifice. The matter is very
simple one, and any one may succeed
in raising frogs who has proper place
to do it in and is willing to take the
Necessary pains To begin with, it is
necessary t, get the spawn, which may
be procured from any bit of water
where bulfrogs dwell by going thither
with a dipper and searching for the
glutinous lunches of-eggs that can be
readily found in the shadows. BE care
full in dipping them out not to break
the substance which holds them togeth-
err. Put them in a'pail or can and con-
vey them to the Matching box, which
must have been previously prepared.
The box should be two feet long,
twelve inches deep, and eighteen inch
es wide, covered on the bottom with
gas-tarred wire sieviug, twelve wires
to the inch. Anchor the box in tho
gentle current of stream, and within
a week, or, at most, fifteen days, the
little strangers will hatch out. AS to
time, it all depends upon the tempera-
Stnrgs .of~thes water.
After the polly wogs are thus Matched
they must be turned loose in a pond
which has been prepared with great
care for their reception. They have
many enemies, against which thev have
to be protected, such as fishes, snakes,
birds lizards, and numerous other
animals. The pond should have plenty
OF soft mud on the bottom for the frogs
to lie in during the winter. Around
the ponds tight board fence cnght to
be built to keep out all the foes that
walk and crawl, and it should be so
close to the water that no bird can
stand on the ground inside and pick up
the pollywogs. Otherwise they will
rapidly and mysteriously disappear.
There is no trouble in feeding the frogs
while they are still pollywogs, nature
having provided for that by supplying
microscopic forms in the sediment for
them to browse upon. Their increase
when properly protected, is enormous,
and many frog farms have been made
exceedingly profitable
In former times frog soup was a
fayorite medicine given by physicians
in cases of -consumption and hypochon.
dria Anciently many preparations
were made from frogs, such as salves,
as we'll as oils from the spawn and
urine. Frogs hearts were recommended
to be swallowed rs pills every morning
for certain diseases In the country to
this day frogs are applied to the fore
head of patient in cases of cere bral
congestion. Star.

between Young Foley and Bingham.
Then on the succeeding evening the

1t should be noted that the series fin
ishes one of the pleasanteSt incidents in
the history of amateur contests in the
Northwest. Indeed. no tournament has
excited such general interest and eX-

large attendance, and the effect
is that there are not tables enough in
Foley's hall to at all times accommodate
the amateurs who have contracted the
