Frogs eggs are laid before they really

with "A sort Of envelope in the shape Of a

very small. but rs soon as they come in

"What time is it?'' l asked the jani-
tor of a dcwn town Office building.
The old fellow reached into his vest
pocket, pulled out a battered silver
watch, looked at it intently, and then
taking pencil from another pocket jot-
ted something down ON bit of paper.
Next he reached into another pocket and
pulled out " second watch, the compan-
ion of the first, looked at it and again
jotted something down ON a bit of paper.
Then he began a little computation on
his slip of paper, after which he an-
nounced:
AT the time you asked, sub, it was
Just % minutes past 8. That's exact "
Much Obliged" said. But will
you kindly explain to me why you had
to look at two watches and go through
all that figuring before you could tell
me?''
"Why, you see. sub, he replied,
''this here watch that l carries in my
vest is a mighty good watch, but it loses
Just ten minutes every day. This other
watch that carries in my pants is just
as good, but it gains ten minutes every
day So first looks at one, and thel, /
looks at the other, and then / takes my
pencil and figures out the average be-
tween the two. That way gets the

ConklIur and Thurman.

Senator Roscoe Conkling was once
addressing the senate in an impassioned
manner and seemed To direct his re-
marks to Senator Thurman. At length
the latter got irritated.
Does the senator from New York, "
he reared. expect me TO answer him
every time he turns To me:''
For moment Mr.. Conkling hesitat-
ed. and everybody expected terrific ex-
ploSion. Then with an air Of exquisite
courtesy he replied:
"When / speak Of the law, l turn to
the senator from Ohio as the Mussulman
turns toward Mecca. ] turn to him as
do to the English common law as the
worlds most copiOus fountain Of hu-
man jurisprudence.

to a s,orm Of applause, and the Thur
man eye moistenod a little. 1t is ever a

Value of Celery Root.

The root Of the celery plant is not as
widely appreciated as it should be- An
authority cited by the Boston Journal
says Of it:
1.-The root of celery has been sadly de-
spised, outrageously misunderstood. 1t,
too, is at the service of man during
greenless months, when, so feeble is his
imagination, he seldom scars above
sprouts. 1t may be boiled, and then
white sauce well becomes it; it may be
fried in close embracing bread crumbs
it may be fashioned into puree; it may
be stewed. Why let it linger longer, the
wallfiower of the green grocer's stall?
Celery, in root and bunch, soothes-a
rival to opium. Eat it for which of its
many excellences you sill, only see that
you eat it. y

An English journal prints the follow

ing house all do this, and of course it is
common enough abroad; but, thank
heaven, so far this nasty looking (nO

never become fashionable in this cOun-

of etiquette, but let Us fervently pray
that Englishmen when they meet with
or part from their friends will never get
to think it the correct thing to kiss one
another. Etiquette in parting varies all

ArdmoreIte For Sale.

The ARDMOREITE is for sale and
the right parties, desirous of engag-
in an established and paying busi-
ness can secure a bargain. Our
object in offering to sell is not from
dissatisfaction with the business but
from lack of capital with which to
tide over the dull season and meet
outstanding obligations. This is a
chance for some of our moneyed
men to form joint stock company
and maintain the best newspaper
and most valuable plant in the In
dian Territory. If sold the trade
must be accomplished by March 1.
Our books show the volume of busi-
ness done and are open to the inspect
