decidedly interesting paper. Accord

freely with her deceased brothers.
and her feeling was of supreme salts
faction at what she still believes to
have been a verification of immortal

because her powers of observation
are strong, and she is by no means
easily convinced when there is a
chance for controversy. She has
been dreaming. She certainly, in
mind, body or soul. has never reach

agony caused by the most fiendish tor

cruelty, but all that was done was to
remove the miserable wretches to

groans an shrieks could be heard,

HOW SNAKE EATS FROG.
As Soon AZ Serpent Has Captured Hind

As Soon as Serpent Has Captured Hind
Legs, Good-by Frog.
How snake eats frogs is worth the
telling. The writer distinctly remem-
bers witnessing a dramatic meal OF
this kind, in which, Of course, the
snake came out the winner, getting his
dinner In excellent style and complete
ly vanishing the frog. Though a snake
may seem at first sight an organism
that is extraordinarily slow of COM
prehension, any well regulated ophid-
ian knows, nevertheless, exactly how
to satisfy the wants of nature in
the most approved manner. A snake
invariably grabs frog by the hind
legs. This preliminary struggle is one
Of the most impressive features of the
combat. With a well-defined natural
instinct the chief effort of the frog is
to keep his other hind leg far away
from the snakes mouth, in the hope
that he may speedily exhaust his enc
my's strength, and also because he feels
that II his other hind leg is made cap
tive he will have less power to fight.
Once both hind legs are within the
serpent's fangs the act of swallowing
begins. Inch by inch the struggling
frog is drawn further and further into
the yawning orifice that expands at
each gulp. The channel through which
the frog has to pass is gradually en-
larged by slow efforts ON the snakes
part, accompanied by fiercer and fiercer

A Great Changs

II seems that Minnesota will soon
losc the distinction OF being the Lake
State" A survey ten years ago show
ed within it's borders over 1000 ponds
and lakes, but that characteristic and
beautiful feature OF the landscape has
changed wonderfully since that time.
A large proportion OF these lakes at
least e-third-have dried up en-
tirely, and in many cases cultivated
fields now occupy the rich bottoms
formerly covered by from ten to
twenty feet of water. Nearly all the
rest have greatly shrunk in area.
Only the larger lakes remain. Like
changes, but of a more marked de-
gree, have been observed in the Da-
kotas. There were many large lakes
in those states ten years ago, some of
them miles in extent. But nearly all
of them have now disappeared. their
ancient beds turned into fields. and
such as remain are shrunk to sloughs
or pools in great wastes OF reedy mud.
Lake Madison, in south Dakota, one
OF the largest and finest lakes in that
state, was equipped some years ago
with steamboats, and hotels and all
the arrangements for western Chau-
tauqua assembly. 1t had a reach of
five iniles fo- steamboat excursions
and in great part was from twenty to
thirty feet deep. 1t has suffered the
fate of all the rest, and the waters
have so far retreated that at the pres
ent rate OF decrease it will not be long
before they disappear entirely.

TWO MOTHERS

8ercavement Brings Truth Rome TO .
When the well-to-do boarder's lit,
tie boy died she called In the woman
who swept and scrubbed halls, attend
ed to the furnace and did scullery work
ir general about the place and showed
her the little fellow as he lay in his
flower-decked coffin, so sweet and pref
ty in his last peaceful sleep.
The scrubwoman had a boy OF her
own just few days younger than the
dead child, and when the well-to-do
boarder's message came she hastily
grabbed up her baby and took him in
with her.
The two women stood over the tiny
caskes for a time in silence. At last
the mothers self control gave way and
she bowed her head over the body and
bathed the little cold face with the
tears that blinded her aching eyes and
scalded her thin, care-worn cheeks.
The scrubwoman sat her baby on the
floor and folded her arms stoically.
Don't, ma'am,'' sne said without a
quaver in her coarse, strong voice.
"You ought to give thanks with all
your soul. wish to God it was my boy
lying there instead of yours"
The boarder laid her hand over the
woman's mouth and interrupted the
impassioned speech.
Don't say that" she cried. "You
don't realize the meaning Of your
words. 1t might come true. Your boy
might die"
The scrubwoman smiled.
There's no such good luck as that"
she said bitterly. "It's always such as
yours that goes and such as mine that
stays. He's never been well, and he
never will be well. He's a torment to
himself and to me, and TO everybody
about the place. It's continual
scratching to keep body and soul to-
gether, and II should die what would
become Of him then? 1t amt that I'm
unnaturally hard-hearted, but pinch
ing and scraping along makes brutes
of anybody. Anyway, he'd be better
off,"
you'll be sorry some day." the other
replied, turning again to her little one.
The boarder moved away, and it was
three years before the women met
again. A few days ago the well-to-do
woman was going through a locality
the ins and out OF which had not been
familiar to her for many months, and
among the scrubwomen on the steps
of large building she saw her former
charwoman of the boarding house.
How Is Freddy" she asked, the first
greeting over.
The woman's lips trembled.
'Freddy's Dead" she said, putting
down her brush and drying her eyes
on the corner of her apron.
The boarder grasped her hand In
ready sympathy. 'I'm so sorry" she
said simply.
"It just happened last week." the
scrubwoman went on between sobs
I've remembered a thousand times
what you said about being sorry. It
was all true. There's not an hour that
I don't want him with me again. II
l only hadn't said It! My poor little

These towns have been spending on an
average $4,000 year town on the

been going on for at least So years,

Minneapolis has no authority to convey

The committee further decides that it is
beyond the power Of the legislature to
confer such power.
There were several authorities and
decisions from number Of states
brought before the committee, and only
one of them, an Ohio decision, favored
the Minneapolis proposition. all the 9TH

The committee found that when the
property was dedicated for park pur-

with the people, and this contract can
not be broken by the city. Any prop
erty owner might enjoln the city from
deciding the park to the state, as every
taxpayer is a party to the contract.
