Fishing For Frogs.

To fish for frogs man needs broad,
Tat bottomed, steady punt, Is cane pole,
With % feet Of good line, three hooks
tied in bunch and a companion. To
tho three hooks is tied small piece of
bright red flannel. The cast is made, and
the lure is drawn slowly along the wa
ter. The frog rises within a yard Of It,
looks at it and says "Aha" He APP
proaChes within six inches and says
"Cho" Then he says "A-a-ah!" and
grabs it. The next instant he swings in
air, hooked through the throat He is
lifted into the boat, grasped between the
left thumb and forefnger, and the point
OF the small blade OF knife is pressed
down just between his eyes. Sometimes
he sheds tears. His struggles are stiIled
in an instant. His hind legs are quickly
severed from his body and tossed into a
bucket filed with ice water. The re-
mainder Of him is thrown overheard,
where 1t floats CHASTITY white, bobbing
gently up and down, revolving slowly
IN small circles and accusing the fisher
man Of murder. Times Her

TO "Pry,"

Pry is not uncommonly used in this
sense in the west and southwest Of Eng
land. 1t is q local form Of prise, TO
force open by means Of lever. You
may "pry up nailed box lid with a
chisel, "pry open" "a fastened door with
O crowbar, etc. Another American in
stance may be found in Farm Life In
New York, Scribner's Magazine, vol
ume II, No. ], where a barn which
must be moved was "pried up by
levers and jacks to enable sled on
runners to be placed under it.
Just as New EnglanderS, well nigh
without exception, if not the people cf
the United States generally, Gpeak and
write of 'prying open boz" and ''rry-
ing up q stone" so in this part Of East
Anglia do all but persons Of consider
able education. None Of the glcsaarists
Of our local dialect that are accessible
TO me records the use Of 'pry" ingsancod
above, but it is given IN several English
dictionaries, among them Icing StOr-
months, as if itwere a cUrsIca ccr-up
tion
J<miceon'a Scottish E..sl mary has
the word prise, prize, s., laycr,
S.; T., pIy, to force; Latin, presao,

Bogg.s Secret Of Srcoeas-
There was once o man ont west or the

his way. lie was so fortunate as TO DC
the object of much curiosity and COM
ment among his associates and acquaint.
ances, who asked him how he played
his game. Mr.. Boggs replied that ne
worked on a theory that was left hlm
as legacy by his father, who was one
of the most successful men he had ever
known. He divided his property among
the other children, and to his eIdes6
son, John Boggs, he left the family 81

Boggs was a good deal pat out, but
he had philosophical temperamens,
and nobody discovered his chagrin snd
his feeling of envy toward his brothers
and sisters, who divided the real and
personal property. The next Sunday,
having nothing better to Go, ho took
down the Holy Word from the shelf
and, turning over it's pages, discovered
a sealed envelope which bore his name
written III the we'll known hand Of his
father. Tearing it open, he found q
short but significant sentence upon
sheet of paper. In telling his story
Boggs said that he had faithfully fol.
lowed his fathers dying injunction, and
the theory which the old man had prac-
ticed so successfully had been equally
valuable TO himself.
Then, of course, everybody spranG up
and inquired what was written On that
piece of paper.
"Only this" said Boggs: "'L'ots Of
good things are lost by not asking for

HER CONTRACT HOLDS.
Attorney General Childs Rules a
Teachers Claim Valid.

Attorney General Childs yesterday unrav-
eled a knotty problem for the department Of
public instruction. The attorney general adj
vised Supt Pendergast that contracts made
with teachers by common school districts
which were later organized into independent
school districts, were valid, and new school
organizations could be held liable for all con-
tracts made with teachers by the old organ
ization.
Mr.. Pendergast has been in receipt of nu-
merous inquiries from officers OF independent
Districts of late, asking II new contracts
ss1sJdid be made The particular case in ques-
school district entered into contract with
certain persons to teach school in the dis
trict for the ensuing year. subsequently, the
common school district into an Independent
district, and the old district became extin-
guished. The question was whether, under
laws, SEQ. 49, the new district is not liable
for contracts thus made by the old district,
and the attorney general In his opinion estab-
sh hes the liability liability o. foH district
mo changes In the title, condition or re-
lation Of existing school district property
shall affect or prejudice any right Of +, such dis
parties thereto any contract, right, obligation
or cause Of action now existing, or prejudice
any right Of any party who held any contract
right obligation or cause of action or lien
upon any such district or the property there
The attorney general says in his opinion
that "It Is difficult to perceive why ting con-
tract of a teacher Is not as much protected
by the statute as any other. No distinction
can properly be made hereunder between a
contract to teach school and one to erect a
school house.
"You are therefore advised that il is my
opinion that the contracts survive the extin-
gu;shment Of the old district and can be en-
forced as against the new / do not, however
advise that the old contract secures to the
teacher the right to teach in the independent
district. simply hold that pecuniary rights
secured by the contracts may be enforced"

Democrats Have Another Meeting to
Adjust Their Differences and
Unite for the Fall Campaign.

Another of the conferences between
representatives Of the Democratic fac
tons was held at the Windsor hotel
last evening, with the result that all
differences between each other and the
Peoples party allies are said to be set
tied, SO that by the fall election all
factions will again be united IN the
political strife.
Richard w. Bell was chosen chair
man Of the meeting, while T. r. Kane
was elected secretary. During the dis
cussion of the evening It developed
that there We're still some minor mat
ters TO be settled. In the most amicabIe
manner, however, the situation was
talked over, with suggestions from ali
sides looking toward the amalgamation.
The Peoples party wants recognition
on the ticket at the coming election,
but to what extent It's representatives
could not state, so it was impossible
to arrive at any definite conclusion
With the Idea of allowing the people
to get little closer together and to
enable the Peoples party to definitely
formulate its conditions, the meeting
was adjourned until next Monday even
ing, when another conference will be
held in the rooms of the Jefferson club.
at which 1t Is believed among the diff
ferent factions that the matter will be
finally adjusted.

Turned Loose In st. Paul for a
Few Hours.
The officers and crew of the Japanese
cruiser Kasagi, en- route to Philadelphia
where they are to take possession of the
vessel, arrived in a special train over The
Great Northern yesterday afternoon. They
were greeted by large crowd Of curious
spectators and when the train drew into the
depot the sailors were given hearty recep
ton.
The Japs were dressed In sailor uniforms
and as soon as the train stopped they all
put their heads ont of the windows and sur
veyed the place Then, at the sound Of o
buge, they suddenly drew down the windows
and scampered out of the cars and formed
in ranks in the street outside the depot
There they answered roll call and one Of
the officers delivered short speech in Japan
esq., and then they were dismissed.
The sailors Immediately started to explore
the city while the officers went to the Of
fee of the Great Northern, where they made
arrangements for their transportation to Chi
cago.

from it's own importance as medium
for buyers and producers to become
mutually benefited. The success of the
work Is assured. While at first the
women feared they might have diff
Guilty filling the space allotted to them,
now they are planning how to make
this same space go twice as far. The
exhibits have been promised readily
from every part Of town, and so far as
the women know every industry rep
resented in st. Paul will have space
in which to illustrate it.
Yesterday many Of the final arrange
roents were perfected. The main room,
which occupies the southeast corner Of
the building, will be devoted to a gen.
eral display Of flowers, Inventions
building material, pictures, miscellane-
Gus, and mechanic arts. The chair
men in the room are:
