Different Answers Received to Prob.
lem Set Forth BY Kansas Paper.
Several weeks ago the Jewell county
(Kas. Republican propounded the
problem: How can pond that has
been dry for ten months assemble one
million frogs in one night?" But the
newspaper scientists of Northern Kan
sas are not to be stumped by such a
query. The Russell Record explains:
Frogs have the faculty of burrow-
ing In the ground, taking on the color
of their surroundings and lying in a
dormant state for an indefinite time.
When the rain comes they wake up
and sing" The scientist of the~Del-
phos Republican has a different So
luton. He answers the question: 1T
can't. Don't you recall that story
about the man who took an order for
a million frogs, the number he esti-
mated from the. noise he heard, but
when he went off for the goods found

AS to COLLEGE, Morality.

In his baccalaureate sermon at the
University Of Pennsylvania DR.. Ell
wood Worcester startled his hearers
by declaring that the morality of col
lege life is inferior to that of the
world at large. A graduate of the
university has this comment: to make:
"If DR.. Worcester's assertion is true,
then the right of colleges to exist is
wiped out. But people will hesitate
to accept this assertion as fully or
even partially established. It may be
true that many of the colleges are
not all that they should be, but that
they fall below the morals of the
business and political world is hardly
credible"

Used Great Seal to Stamp Cake.

Early in the last century a large
number Of the leading men OF Great
Brita' were entertained at Downe
house, in Scotland, by the duke and
duchess of Bedford. Among them was
Lord Brougham, then lord chancellor.
A dispute arose one night among the
visitors as to whether the lord chan
cellor carried the great seal about
with him when he travelled The
duchess put the matter to the test at
cnce, and, marching at the head OF
her friends to the bedroom of Lord
Brougham, who was lying i'll at the
time, she persuaded him to imprint
cake which she had just baked with
the impression of the seal, which, Of
course, settled the question.

HUMAN FACE is CHANGING.
Scientists Say Mouth is Moving To-
ward the Left Ear.

Scientists Say Mouth is Moving To-
ward the Left Ear.
It has been discovered that the
human mouth is slowly but surely and
steadily moving toward the left of the
face, which will in time bring it some
where in the neighborhood of the left
ear. All the five great races Oh man
have an uncomfortable tendency to
eat only with the teeth which grow
from the left jaws. This wears out
the left teeth more rapidly than those
on the right side of the mouth, and
this in turn gives the upper and lower
jaws an incliI alton towards the left.
1t is the expressed opinion Of many
scientists who are foremost in the
worlds roll of professional honor that
IN the course of time the mouth, from
causes above mentioned, will have
completely changed it's position, and
that it will then be situated rather
nearer to the left ear than to the nose.

A Mankato Runaway in the Hands Of
the Police.

khV
Reinhart Heller, the boy who ran
away from his home in Mankato some
time ago, and who has been in the
central station in Minneapolis for the
last few days waiting for his father
to send for him, was brought into the
police court there yesterday morning
charged with vagrancy. The father re-
fuses to take his wandering son back
into the bosom of the family accord
ing to the Minneapolis Journal. He
notified the police that they could do
what they pleased with young Rein
hart. He was, therefore, brought be-
fore Judge Holt, as a vagrant, but is
till held pending further efforts
to persuade the father to take him
back. Judge Holt believes that Man
kato should care for him if he be-
comes public charge.
\ Young Heller father has changed his
mind and sent the Minneapolis
authorities money to buy the boy a
ticket to Mankato. The family live
on Spring street, and Mrs. Heller
called at the police station this morn

fore this. The boy is expected to

THEY WILL NOT DEBATE.

The Wells Forum says that the Wells
boys who won in the debate here, were
assigned to debate with LIE Sueur.
Both schools had the same side of
the question, and this was very dis
appointing, as it would necessitate
one or the other school taking the
other side, which was to be determin-
ed by lot. This of course would re-
quire an entire new preparation for
the school which took the other side of
the question, and as result, the
Forum says it understands that the
Wells boys have thrown the matter
up and will not debate, as they feel
that they should draw the opposite of
the question, they could not give the
time necessary for thorough prepare
tion. This will leave the second dis
trict unrepresented in the state debate.

THE WESTERN LAND HUNGER.

A prime reason for the unprecedent-
ed demand for western lands is to be
found in the greatly increased price of
farm products within the past two
years. There is conviction THAT
the market for corn must continue
good for several years owing to the
demand for it in the fattening of cat
tie and the steadily growing favor
with which it is meeting in Europe.
The demand for Golden Grain Belt"
beer too is steadily increasing for men

and healthy and capable of better work
