THE Adventure of q Toad.

One summer afternoon Vandalia,
Eleanor and Walter were walking In
the park. Walter saw Il toad hopping
across the gravel walk and disappear
in the grass.
"Vandalia," cried Walter, look at
the toad" Vandalia, and Eleahor came
up to where Walter stood and looked
at the toad sitting in the grass, con-
tented and happy. An old man passing
the children heard their conversation
about the toad, paused and said:
"Children. let us have some fun with
Brother Toad" With his cane in his
hands and getting down on his knees,
he slowly pushed the cane through the
grass in the direction of the toad's
head making the grass move as though
a snake was crawling through it. The
toad all this time sat dignifed and
stately as king, not q smile on his
homely face now and then his eyes
blinking. He looked the image OF JOY
unclouded by sorrow.
AS the cane slowly moved through
the grass, its polished surface glisten.
ing in the sunlight, the toad caught
sight of it. A wonderful change came
over him. His dignity failed. He sud
denly gave high leap into the air and
fell down in the grass with thud, and
then began series of jumps and leaps
like rabbit makes when the hound
chases him. and the toad continued
these jumps until he passed out of
view down hill.
Walter yelled with delight, crying,
"Go it, toady!" Vandalia laughed until
tears came into her eyes and said.
"Toady thinks it is a snake" Eleanor
looked at the toad, hopping away from
its supposed danger, and said in voice
of pity. Poor little toad. it is too bad
to scare you"
When the toad reached its home un-
der the rocks, worn out by it's long run
for life, he told a great story to the
other toads of the family about the
snake coming through the grass and
how he hoped away so fast that the
snake could not catch him, and the
other toads all looked upon him as a
hero.

Finds Fortune In Elks, Teeth.

- ASAAS 4SCLAs
Eight hundred elks' teeth in the
grave of an Indian chief, all splendid
specimens and susceptible of mounting,
were the wonderful find by a Philadel-
;phia curio hunter named Zimmerman.
who has been gathering relics along
the canyon Of the tortuous Snake river
for several months, says the San Fran
cisco Call. Zimmerman dug into the
grave, which was in a wild. barren and
remote country along the Snake river
above Lewiston, Ida. Some distance
down he encountered several small
bones, which on examination proved to
be magnificent specimens of elks' teeth,
and on scooping away the earth with
his hands he found that loose tunic
wrapped around the ex-ehief's skele-
ton had been literally crammed with
teeth, the hest Obtainable in the DAYS
when elk were plentiful. Zimmerman
took his find to Lewiston fer shipment
to Philadelphia, keeping very quiet
about the discovery. One man to whom
he confaded the secret In Lewiston Of
cred him $40 apiece for the 400 with
the red streak.
