early rising, and as my frien 8 do
not place lmuch reliance in alarm

o'clock, ahd when he replaced my

ting up ard going to bed again.
Those days are now gone, however,

which even the sheriff cannot con
ta,ninate. ! While out in the field
one day Iisnanaged TO capture alive
q magnificent specimen of the frog
family, q zeal old bull with voice
like an east coast fog hoEn. | put
him in fittle pool near my room

found outs that he always croaked
when the moon went down, but he
always stopped his noise when there
was the least light. | then bit upon
scheme TO make use OF his un-
earthly vdcings. ! cut a candle to
such length that it would go out
exactly Efter being alight eight
hours. This lighted when | wen:
to bed, aid always go to bed at 8
o'clock wien at home, and stuck it
in the widow near the pool. The
moment thc candle went out the
frog would begin to cro'ak, and |
would wake up and get out of doors
When tbefe was any danger of
moonshins | would place a tub over
the pool with hole in it so that
the light :ifrom the candle would
shine DIRECTLY into the pond where
his frog&aip resides. Thus did I
overcome. all difficulty in the matter
and my aihrm clock has worked so
nicely that I am thinking Of getting

THE PENSION LAWS.
The Senate and House Joint Com
mittees Consider Proposed
Amendments.

The Senate and House pension
committees held joint session last
Friday to consider proposed amend
ments to the Picker pension bill,
which passed the House in the last
session, and is pending before the
Senate. Officers OF the g. A. r. aud
otherveteran organizations addressed
the committee in advocacy of certain
changes making the laws more iber-
al, which they desire.
They asked to have stricken from
the bill and enacted an independent
law, the first section, which provides
that persons otherwise entitled to pen
sions shall not be disqualified because
of prior service in the Confederate
army.
They also asked that the pension
laws shall be constructed literally,
and claimants be not required to
furnish proof that excludes all reas-
enable doubt, but only to establish
claims by fair preponderance of
proof; also, that all pensions restor-
ed after reduction or discontinuance
shall date from the reduction or dis
continuance; that investigations shall
be conducted in the county in which
pensioners reside; that for pension
purposes the rebellion shall be con-
sidered closed August 20. 1866, the
date of the Presidents proclamation
instead of July 1, 1865.

The Wizard of the Nile.

A complete change of attraction
will be offered at the Valentine
Theatre the coming week, and its
announcement will be a source of
qualification to all music lovers.
The Valentine Theatre is first in
the field this season with high class
comic opera production, and the oc-
casion on Thursday evening, Jan. IA,
when Frank Daniels begins three
nights engagement In Harry B. Smith
and Victor Herbert's diverting COM
ic opera, "The Wizard of the Nile, y
which met with such splendid sue
cess here last season.
Harry B. Smith, the librettist, who
has given us robin Hood" and
most of our comic opera successes,
struck particularly happy vein for
his story of "The Wizard AS is
generally known, Mr.. Daniels as
sunles the character of Kiboch, O.
tramp magician, who visits Egypt
way back in the days of the Ptole-
mics and attempts to woo and win
the Princess Cleopatra, thereby
leaving Marc Antony out in the cold,
so to speak. The atmosphere of the
opera afforded scenic artist and cos
tuner glorious chance to reveal in
all sorts of unique color schemes,
with the result that the opera is
staged in way for the attendant to
remember. "The Wizard of the
Nile" was presented at Vienna lately
and scored an immediate and EN-.
phatic hit, and this is the first in
stance of a successful production of
an American opera within the Ger
man Emire. The English presenta-
tion of the opera occurs this winter
in London, with Arthur Roberts in
Mr.. Daniels part, at the Prince of
Wales Theatre. The same complete
organization comes to Toledo in sup
port of the star, including Edna
Thornton, the new prima donna,
Louise Royce, Walter Allen, Greta
Risley, Louis Casavant, Leonard
Walker, and an efficient chorus of
young voices.
The sale of seats for Mr.. Daniels
engagement opens on Thursday
morning, January 18th.
Suburban patrons will notice that
the Frank Daniels Opera Co. will be
at the Valentine Thursday, Friday
and Saturday nights, and Saturday
matinee only.

Killing Rabbits and Squirrels.

The Columbus Press, of last Friday,
gives the following: Attorney GEN
eral Monnett rendered three formal
opinions Friday constituting the state
fish and game laws in obscure points.
There is a law on the statute books
which provides that rabbits and
squirrels may not be killed except
the owner or tenant finds that they
are destroying property on his pre-
misses. Chief State Game Warden
Reutinger wanted to know if it was
necessary for the owner or tenant to
actually find the animals in the act
OF destroying trees, etc., or not. The
attorney general holds that it is not
necessary. If there is a good reason
to believe that the animals are de-
stroying property they may be killed.
1t is not necessary to kill the identi-
cal animals that do the injury. The
attorney also holds that persons see
ing the animals destroying property
on the premises of another person
may destroy them. That is, that the
privilege to destroy the animals,
when seen destroying property, is
not confined to the owner or tenant
of the premises of which they are
found.
The third point on which official
opinion is given is as to the disposi-
tion of the fines collected on guilty
pleas. The law provides that fines
collected in prosecutions under the
fish and game laws shalfgo into the
fish and game fund Of the county in
which the prosecution Is made. The
attorney general holds that it must
be placed in that fund just the same
when there is no formal prosecution,

The STRENGTH of Ice.

Ice has again formed on ponds and
lakes in Columbus and skating parties
are once more in order, says the
Press. In view of the fact the gov
ernment does not prohibit SHAKING
on ice that is dangerous to.skate on,
the following table showing the
strength of ice at various thicknesses
should be committed to memory at
this season of the year by those who
indulge in the pleasure of skating
even at the risk of life and limb.
Ice two inches thick will bear men
to walk on.
Ice four inches thick will bear
horses.
Ice six inches thick will bear teams,
with moderate loads.
Ice eight inches thick will bear
teams with very heavy loads.
Ice ten inches thick will sustain a
pressure of 1000 pounds to the square
foot

LIKE THEIR PARENTS,
Boys Can Have their Coffee Now.

When a good healthy boy sitsdown
to his breakfast and sees Pa and Ma
have their coffee to dip toast in and
sip, he feels sighted that he can't
have some too. But parents know
that it is really poisonous to children
and refuse them. Postum the grain
coffee made by Postum Cereal Co.,
lim., Battle Creek Mich, is exactly
like coffee in looks and yet it is made
of the healthful grains and is nour-
ishingland fattening. Boys and girls
can drink it every meal if they like.
1t is simply food of the nourishing
sort, but SO prepared that it fills the
eye of even q careful expert.
