Is A FROG A FISH?

The condolences of the civilized world
are due to the Dominion of Canada,
Canada has a headache, a backache
| and is red-eyed from loss of sleep.
Canada hasn't been worrying over
King Edwards illness or the tariff on
lumber or excessive rains or the On
tario peach crop on any other ordinary
thing.
It's trouble is over that paramount
question as to whether frog is a fish
or game and the ruction is reaching
such proportions that it is feared it
will break up families and schools.
Money is at the bottom of the trouble
accessory after the fact, for it is this
country's epicurean demand for frogs
legs which has brought the cloud over
the proudest of the British colonies.
Many people north of the 49th par
allel have been making a fat living by
hunting and killing frogs to supply the
markets of New York, Chicago and
| elsewhere. The business has become
so large that the Dominion marine and
| fisheries department a few days ago
reached a sort of paroxysm of alarm
lest the Canadian frog of commerce
should wake up some morning to find
that he hadn't a leg left to stand on.
So the body, impelled by duty and a
love for frogs, got busy with an idea to
fix a close season for frogs. Then it
was that some bewhiskered wise man
arose to plague the department with
| the query, is a frog a fish or game?
If the decision is reached that the
| frog is fish, the body can under the
| laws institute a close season and end
! the traffic in legs. If the conclusion is
reached that the frog is game, then
the department has nothing to do with
the question and each of the provinces
! can pursue it's own sweet will as to
the catching and selling of the edible
| amphibian.
When it is decided who is to render
| the ultimatum it might be we'll to turn
over to him or it that other question as
to whether an egg is fish, flesh or foul.

EACH NATION LAUGHS IN
A DIFFERENT MANNER.
And Some There Are Who Never Do
More Than litter CynicaIIy.

A student of ethnology was consider
ing the laughs of different peoples.
Certain savages in the heart of Afri-
ca never laugh at ALL" said he. They
grin, that is all; and this lack of the
quality of laughter Is a symptom of
their low mentality. Beasts never
laugh, either.
"The Chinaman has no hearty bursts
of laughter in his repertory. He filters
cynically-titters over the misfortune
of an enemy or the elopment of the
wife of a friend. He cannot laugh.
When he is delighted, or amused, or
happy, he just looks calm.
1.-THE Frenchman has a reserved
laugh, one which he holds we'll in hand.
Being a great stickler Tor dignity, he
is afraid that loud and honest laugh

A SUNNI Err NIGHT.


The sun, in all it's majesty, hath sunk
beneath the plain;
From prairies wide its light hath flown
its shadows from the lane.
The day is gone, and stiffness reigns
amid the earth and sky;
And through the misty night hear the
OWLS enchanting cry,
While from the dreamy little brook that
winds across the lea
The vapors rise and dance around the
rushes in their glee.
The moon is glowing mid the stars, and
softly through the night
On fragrant prairies wrapped in green
descends it's silver light
And as the scent of flowers wild is watt
ed through the gloom,
l love, to wander through the night and
breathe the sweet perfume.
How sweet it is, when all our cares have
vanished with the day,
To breathe the balmy air. and rest among
the shadows gray!

CRUSADE AGAINST KISSING.

Eight young men and six young
women who are attending the North
western university, Evanston, Ill, have
formed an organization which is
known to the vulgar world as 'The
Kiss Summers AS the name indi-
Gates with considerable direetness, the
society is going to discontinue kissing
and is preparing to pledge itself to
urge others to discontinue the labial
method of expressing affection. Wheth-
er these youthful persons have had
too many kisses or regard the lip-to-lip
performance as a disease spreader is
not plainly stated, but that they desire
the practice stopped is so nominated
in the bond"
At the last meeting of the club the
following resolution was offered and
referred to a committee overwhelming
ly in favor of the abolition of oscula-
ton either for pleasure, profit or pas
time:
Realizing that kissing is demoralizing
and detrimental we the undersigned
students of Northwestern university,
SO1emn1y swear IQaL we VIII from
all kissing and that we will try to per-
Suade others to likewise refrain.
These coming wise men and women
situation by wearing a badge indicat-
ing their attitude on the question. 1t
will therefore be understood when one
meets a girl with a badge on her right
arm that she does not desire to be
kissed going through a tunnel or any
where else. And, reasoning to the
contrary, it will be taken, in Evanston
at least, that when a girl does not
wear badge she is out to be kissed at
any favorable opportunity. But doubt
full things are uncertain. Some of these
badgeless girls will get kissed under a
misrepresentation and there will be ar
rests and heartburnings and explana-
tons which do not explain.
When all is said and done, the old
way will be most popular and will
therefore probably stand the test of
time. If young woman is willing to
be kissed, and there is nobody looking,
she will continue to be kissed in spite
of all the anti-osculation societies
formed now or hereafter. OF course,
there are places where it is unsafe to
Indulge in the practice. One of these
is in a row boat. In such cases the
wise young man will wait until he gets
ashore. The foolish, impetuous young
man should not go out in row boats

street car shall display on the outside,

This insures that there will be no
more OF the unceremonious dumping

the company subjects it to a penalty Of

company excused from complying with
the regulation.
The ordinance adopted was intro

few weeks ago was declared by the

LITTLE KNOWN OF LORD
KlTcHENER'S PERSONALITY
Is Man of Iron, but Endowed With
Vivid Imagination.


Lord Kitchener is one of the few
great public men of the time who has
been able to keep his personal charac-
teristicS out of print:
A character sketch of Lord Kitche-
ner by one one who knows him would
be worth reading.
The career of Lord Kitchener is
lacking in episodes which throw the
limelight of publicity upon his per-
sonal qualities. The man is known
only by the broad results of his work.
His career has been Illuminated at
long intervals by flashes of personal
character, such as his Quixotic venture
IN going on leave from the British
army to fight for the Frenc.l in 1870,
and the dramatic splendor of the Cor
don memorial service which he ar
ranged after his victory at Khartoum.
There is iron in Kitchener's charac-
ter or he could never have done his
work. The strange sympathy which
sent him crusading under the colors of
France, in 1870, the gorgeous dramatic
FANCY which stage managed the Cor
don memorial service as the crown and
climax of the Soudan campaign are
proof that iron is not the only element
in the nature Of the man of Khartoum
and Pretoria. Lord Kitchener's per
sonaiity is a closed book, and the
world knows him only by the work
which has lettered it's results on the
covers of his Observation-Disclosures Tele-
gram.

A PRAYER.

Grant us, 0 Lord, the grace to bear
The little pricking thorn;
The hasty word that seems unfair;
The twang of truths we'll worn;
The Jest that makes our weakness plain;
The darling plan o erturned
The careless touch upon our pain;
The slight we have not earned;
The rasp OF care. Dear Lord, today,
Lest all these fretting things
Make needless grief, or, give, we pray,
The heart that trusts and sings.
