The Toad I'm the Rock

OF late days have noted, says a re-
cent writer, considerable number Of
reputed cases Of the occurrence OF
live frogs and toads In what were aI-
legged to be solid rocks. This is, Of
course, an old, old story that appears
to possess perennial powers QIke the
toad of reViVifcation. l had thought
that Dean Buckland Gather of the
genial Frank had exploded the toad
In the rock myth once for all. The
Dean inclosed toads and frogs in cells
cut In blocks Of stone, and buried them
three feet deep in his garden. Here
the conditions were even less rigorous
than those under which the amphibians
are reported to survive for ages in the
"solid rock" Dean Buckland's tOads
were nearly all dead by the end Of the
first year of entombment, and none sur
yiyed the second year.

A WIRE FENCE MIRACLE.
Interesting Discovery as Important as The
Head to Pin.

The fences in the United States
cost $5,62S, S92, l60. The average
county has paid s., ,000, 900 ior its
fences-all paid by inhabitants-you
!. and yourn eighbor.
Did you know this before? Such
an immense sum of money seems in
credible, yet it is the correct amount.
Also it is a fact that fences cost more
than all other farm improvements
combined! 1t is absolutely essential
to the preservation of your property
and stock that you have good fences
and keep them in good order. This
fence question is always pressing
itself upon you, and the stupendous
aggregate cost of fences renders the
subject worth the most careful con-
sideration.
Untold trouble has been expert
enced for many years and the general
advance along the line Of improve
ment has resulted in the widespread
substitution of wire fencing for the
various forms of wood fences. But
with the new era of wire fences the old,
old fact that anything is only as
strong as its weakest part has been
time and again conspicuously demon
strated. Wire fencing in all its var
ious applications TO different pur-
poses is undoubtedly taking the lead
in the construction of the world s
fences today. This is so because it is
the most economical and most dur
able, even in its earlier and cruder
forms.
The great drawback to all iron
fencing has been the difficulty of Sc
curely fastening the joints (wire tc
wire) so that thev will not slip.
These joints have always slipped.
They constitute the one weak point.
If they become loose the whole fence
soon goes. That has been every
ones experience and is the base of all
trouble with wire fencing.
Recently genius solved the prob
lem by inventing a clamp which
binds the wire and bends and "an.
chors" joint into perfect security.
The thing is so simple that people
wonder why someone did not think oi
it before But the important point is
that the clamp does its wonderful
work unerringly, and from now on all
wire fences can be made tenfold more
durable. OF course the big parent
company that secured the patent foI
this wonderful "anchor clamp" is
having a phenomenal success. "An-
chor" fences are multiplying like hot
cakes everywhere, for the discovery Of
the "anchor clamp" in wire work is
comparable to the deed of the man
who invented the head to the ordinary
pin of commerce, and an old-fash-
ioned wire fence can be converted
into an anchor" fence if you have
some of the little "anchor clamps
and a pair of pinchers. The Portland
Anchor Fence Company, which has
Its headquarters at TAI Nicolai street
Portland, Or, controls the sale o
''anchor" fences in the Northwest
and they send very interesting
pamphlets and pictures, telling al
about fences, free of cost, to anyone
who sends them his address.

A Polish wedding.

A curious marriage was recently cele-
brated at Grocholetz, in Poland, where
a peasant at the age of S8 led to the
altar a maiden of IS summers. Among
the 200 guests invited to the wedding
were eleven sons of the bridegroom by
former marriages, the eldest being 60
years old and the youngest Al. There
were also sixty-three grandchildren,
thirty nine great-grandchildren, TWEEN
ty-one children of the fourth generation
and four of the fifth.

One of the largest legal fees on
record in a case involving only
the interests of private individ-
uals is that which lawyer Joseph
D. Redding of New York has
earned by obtaining $4,000, 900
from the estate of Coils P.
Huntington for Mr.. Hunting
tons adopted daughter, Princess
Clara Won Aatzfeldt, Mr.. Red
ding's fee is 100000, or S per
cent of the sum which the Prince
is to receive.
Other lawyers have received
larger amounts, but only in cases
affecting great corporate inter-
ests. Judge William G. Moore,
of Chicago, is said to have earned
100000 by organizing the tin
plate trust, taking large part
of his pay in stock. James B.
Dill, the great New Jersey trust
organizer, who visited Dallas a
few months ago, made 81, 900, 900
by settling Henry C. Tricks suit
against Andrew Carnegie. Levy
Dayer earned $500, ZOO by arrang-
ing the sale of the Ogden gas
company to the Chicago gas
trust. John E. Parson received
$250,OOO for reorganizing the
sugar trust, and like fee was
earned by the late William M.
Evarts in a corporation case.
Former President Benz amin
Harrison's fee as counsel to
Venezuela in the boundary dis
pute with England was a quarter
of a million.
These are the largest fees ey-
err paid to lawyers. That Mr..
Redding's is large in proportion
to other payments for similar
services is shown by the fact
that Senator Chauncey M. Depew
charged only 100000 for avert
ing the threatened contest over
the will of Cornelius Vanderbilt,
involving about twice the amount
of the Huntington estate.
