a certain eminent clergyman. win IL
greatly loved for his gentleness AMI for
oearance with offenders, recently t,ll n
man that an experience of his own in
years long gone by taught him tbe y,,cs
OF ready exeusing. When he was n b,,
he was a very poor boy, but he had nj.
ready strong theological bent and was
studying hard during the winter and
working even harder during the summer
trying to get preparation for COLLEGE
lie wanted to be preacher. and tbe fact
mat he didn't seem to be good for any,
thing else tended to convince him tbat
he had not mistaken his calling.
One spring he was entirely ont Of
money and had to get out of school md
go to work. Not being able to find any
thing to do IN the small college town
where he had been studying. the voutb
call him Richard Vernon-went ont
among the farmers TO see if he could get
work from them. He found a man who
was very busy with his springs work
and IN hurry to get the burrows plowed
i'll big field for potato planting. The
weather was favorable for planting: the
farmers boys would be home from school
the next day which was Saturday. to do
the dropping and covering He told
Richard that he might mark out the
field with the pillow for the planting. and
if he suited he might be hired for two or
three months Meantime the farmer
saw that the boy was very anxious to
stay, and that he had evidently a very
good disposition.
So the young theologian went to work
with tremendous yigor He did not stop
to take breath until he had marked off
large tract of ground with deep burrows.
Then came his employer from his work
in another part Of the farm and looked at
the boys work and leaned up against the
fence and laughed until he Shook. The
potato field had been scraped and seal
Hoped all over with the ridiculously IL
regular and wabbly little bitches which
Richard had turned. There was not
clean, straight furrow in the lot. The
ground looked as if an insane elephant
had tossed up the earth. The burrows
We're of all depths and at all distances
from one another, for Richard had driven
the horse most of the time at smart
walk, and he had been too much occupied
with keeping up and maintaining pre-
carious grasp upon the pillow handles to
be able to pay any attention to the regu-
larity or evenness of his work.
Richard Vernon laughed, too, as he
stood and looked over the field He
wiped the sweat from his brow and
looked very anxiously at his employer.
There was no chance for regular work
there, that was evident. His laughter
faded away, and there was a certain
faint twitch in the corners of his mouth
as the boy said:
81 guess you don't want any more of
my work, sir"
ooh, yes--yes, l do, said the farmer.
"Maybe faint your fault that the fur

Toad Bone" Was u Wonder.

All early writers attribute wonderful
qualities to toads and frogs and the va
rious parts Of their bodies. Pliny be-
lieved, for instance, that if toad was
brought into the midst of mob or other
large and unruly concourse of people
''silence would instantly prevail" A
small bone found in the right side of
toads ''of the proper age" was also be-
lieved to have powers over the various
elements. "By throwing this bone into
vessel of boiling water" says Pliny,
lit will Immediately cool it, the water
refusing to boil again until the bone has
been removed. To find this bone. ex-
pose the dead toad on an ant hill. When
the ants have eaten her all away except
the bones, take each bone separately and
drop it into boiling water. Thus may the
wondrous toad bone be discovered. :"
This antiboil bone Of course had its OBJ
posite.
In another portion of his work Pliny
says: lon the other hand. again, in the
left side of this reptile there is another
bone which when thrown into water has
all the appearance of making it boil.
The name given this bone is 'apocynon,
which signifies dog averting.' because it
has the power and property of assuaging
the fury of the fiercest dogs" 1t was
also sovereign remedy for love and
other trouble, would conciliate es-
tranged friends, and if water in which n
toad bone had been STEPPED be used
mixed with lambs tallow as an ointment
the person using the same might with
out the least effort see ghosts and divers
spirits both by the day and by the
