should be remembered, however, that Hay
IS poet as well as an EN- ba ssador and is

Curious Fact. About the Toad.

Curious Facts About the Toad.
The toad lives ten to forty years, does
not begin to produce young until the
fourth year, but then lays ver 1000
eggs a year. 1t has lived two years
without food, but cannot live long I'M
der water 1t never takes dead or mo-
tionless food. 1t takes its food by
means of it's tongue alone, and it oper-
ates this so rapidly that the eye can
not follow it's motions. 1t captures and
devours bees, wasps, yellow jackets,
ants, beetles, worms, spiders, snails,
bugs, grasshoppers. crickets, weevils.
caterpillars, moths, etc. The stomach
that doesn't finch at yellow jackets,
wasps, blister beetles and click-beetles
or pinch bugs would seem to be pre-
pared for anything in the insect line,
and it doubtless is. In "a hours the
toad consumes enough food to fill its
stomach four times. A single toad will
in three months devour over 10000 in
sects. If every ten of these would have
done one cent damage the toad has
saved ten dollars. Evidently the toad
is a valuable friend to the farmer, gar
dener and fruit grower, and a be
made especially useful in the green
house, garden and berry patch.-Gal-

says the Denver Times. After Tabor
had struck it rich and had money to
burn, Chicken Bill approached him
with a scheme which he represented to
be very promising and easily induced
him to take some stock in it. Before
long the fact developed that Tabor was
a minority owner, associated with a
number of shady fellows from whom
his instinct told him fair play could
not be expected. Thoroughly dissat-
isied with the zeal and incensed at the
deception practiced upon him by a
nan he had so many times befriended,

HISTORIC BOARD.
A venerated Relic IN springAel
HI.

A venerated Relic IN Springfield,
Surrounding the courthouse in q
county seat within 100 miles of Spring
field, H., stood for many years a plain
board fence. Before it finally disap-
peared to make way for park" inn
provements it had been rebuilt at least
twice. At each rebuilding, however,
particular care was taken to leave a
certain "top board" in exactly the po-
sition it had occupied before. not even
a new nail hole being made in it.
A stranger, noticing n day this
popularity in the fence. asked an old
citizen, who was leaning against a
locust-tree and whittling a stick, if
there was any explanation.
"Did the county run u Of money"
he inquired, "when it had got this fence
all finished except one board?"
mo, sir" replied the old citizen, put
ting his jackknife in his pocket, walk
ing to the fence, and laying his hand OF
it in a most impressive This
top board is wuth more'n all the rest
of the fence put together, old and rotted
as it is.
"Old Abe Lincoln made a speech in
this courthouse yard in 1856, and when
he was through taikin' he saw an old
farmer in the crowd that he used to
know when he vas a boy, an he came
down from the stand an took that old
| Teller out to the fence an talked over
| old times with him fur ten minutes or
more, without payin' any attention to
the big-bugs that was waitin' to take
| him off to dinner. And while he talked
to him, sir, he rested his right foot on
this yere top board. I seen him do it,
an so did 500 other men-an' hat board
hain't never been disturbed sence, al
hain't never goin' to bel"
Saying which, the old man walked
back to his position against the locust
tree, took his knife from his pocket
again and resumed his whiting
