WOULD OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
No Toad Has Ever Been Found In
closed in Solid Rock.

cAOHeu IN SOllu ltOck.
Stories of toads inclosed ir solid rock
are not at all uncommon, but of all the
reported cases not one has ever been
substantiated. When investigated, says
the Milwaukee Journal, it is found that
they are made-up stories or that there
was no toad or no rock or was a way
for him to get in or out. People who
find toads in solid rock must under
stand that it is an important matter.
If ever there is one single case verified
beyond dispute of finding n toad or any
other living animal in an absolutely
solid rock the science of geology will Ee
swept from the realms of belief. The
doctrine of evolution will crumble to
airy nothings. Half of the exact sci
eDces will have to be reorganized on
an entirely new basis. Accumulated
human knowledge will have to be re-
vised from the bottom and most of what
is so called rejected entirely. So The
man who finds the toad had better BE
pretty sure that II is toad in solid
rock, and while he is about it he had bet
ter have witnesses and photographs and
everything possible to be had in proof
of his assertion. for 1t will be doubted.
If he proves his cause no man ever
known Will have such enduring fame.
Just find the road, gentlemen.

And who be yo'?" demanded Scott.
I'm gentleman, sah-a reg lar

Scott had had dozen different rows

and the idea of scrap with stranger

matter over for minute and then said:
II don't see no objeckshuns to a

to another gentleman IL is my dooty to
warn yo' that I'm powerful fighter"
That's lovely Of yo'," smiled the

bid yo' good day"
He was half mile away when Mr..

"Yo've bin licked" replied one Of

"Who did it?"
"A feller as said he was gentleman
and yo' was another"

they had been telling some pretty tall
stories. The druggist was a man of
some humor and invention, and he con-
cocted q mixture of great potency and
fine flavor composed of Sp. frumenti,
saccharum alba, cortex lmonis, caro-
phyllus aromaticus and aqua pura O.
s. This mixture he prop6sed to admin

gest story, and the party at once be-
to their fullest extent A toilet soap
drummer was appointed judge, and the
prize mixture, steaming hot, sat in an
eight~ounce graduated measure upon
the edge of the stove.
The colonel told a war story of the
Munchausen variety, the Squire related
a hunting adventure that evinced a
decided genius for evading the truth,
and the postmaster made a strong bid
for the prize with a snake story big
enough to make the sea serpent jealous.
The others followed In turn, and the
last man, the major, entered the COM
petition. The major had in his mind a
remarkable narrative about a dog, that
he owned that did some wonderful
things, and he began his story this
way:
Last Wednesday morning got up a
little later than usual, and went down
to breakfast. Most of you have seen
that brown setter of mine-he's a good
| deal smarter than most men. Well,
that dog was in the dining room when
| went in. AS / came in the door my
wife, who was waiting for me, said:
John, when 1 went in to wake you
up this morning ] found this five dollar
bill on the floor. You must have drop
Ped 1t from your pocket when you un-
dressed last night Then she handed
me the bill Now. that dog of mine

"Wait a minute" said the toilet soap
drummer, you needn't go any further
with your story. The prize is yours.
I'm. married man myself, and that
lie you've just told is one that you'll
never improve on. l hereby render a
| decision in your favor"
| AS there were no single men in the
crowd, not a voice was raised In pro-
test against the judges verdict.
