Selden frequently plays the piano. The
music sets the frogs to going, and they
will hop around the floor, slowly or rap
idly, keeping time to the music as near
ly as the frogs mind can measure it,
These frogs appear to be jealous of the
womans attention. If she attempts to
pet one without showing the other atten-

is often necessary for them to be shut I'D

Ing the woman has become an expert shot
with the small rifle that she carries, and
she frequently enters shooting matches
in which she is pitted against old and
experienced hunters who are envious of
her skill, and she never fails to worst
them.
She clings to her long coat, hip boots
and canvas hat, and, clad in this rig and
ready for the bog, she makes pictur-
esque figure. She Is in her goth year, and
possesses very attractive face. Offers
OF marriage have come to her frequently
but she has never cared to give up her
peculiar business to become the mistress
of an establishment in the city. She says
she has independence, money and good
health, and they are all that she asks
for. The people in and around Friend
ship look upon her as sort of wonder
and, while they do not actually worship
her, they think that she possesses about
all the good qualities that any human be-
ing can possess.

a harp of shattered srings, emblematic
of broken melodies and ended songs
To the far-reaching Christian hope
there are no shattered harp strings and
no ended songs, for the singer lives and
the songs roll on forever. In glorious
power Jesus triumphed over death,
arose from the tomb and became the
King Of Glory. He said, I will come
again, and toward that promise the eyes
of angels and men are ever turned.
Many will be the surprises of the
judgment hour. Some will say, Lord
Jesus. why have I been chosen? Then
He will say, When was an-hungered
ye fed me, when a-thirst ye gave me
drink. when naked ye clothed me, sick
and in prison and we visited me.
This is the principle of Christ's judg-
ment, based not upon our believing. but
doing. By grace are we saved, and by
our Christian service are we to be
judged. Heavenly service depends up
on our service on earth.

Are After Him
In restaurant in Chinatown at II 80
last night, Ah Nun, a crazy celestial,
was found by Officer Lennon and
brought to the police station. Nun i'm
agines that enemies are after him to
kill him and has not slept for several
nights. He became so wrought UP over
the conduct Of his imaginary foes that
he was considered dangerous and the
other Cinnamon were afraid Of him.
When Nun saw the policeman he cot
toned to him like an old friend and
seemed to feel safe from his enemies
when in his company, refusing to be
parted from him. He told Lennon he
wanted to go to work for him and by
promising him job in the morning he
willingly accompanied the policeman to
the station. Nun recently lost nearly
all the money he had in the world and It
Is thought that brooding over this has
brought on his present trouble.
