New Use For the Thermometer.

The thermometer always hung
outside the porch door in summer
and in the family sitting room in
winter. The rise and fall Of the
mercury had never been explained
to the small boy of the family, who
regarded the instrument with great
respect as a generator of heat next
in Importance to the sun. One cold
day in March he rushed i'll from the
barn and demanded:

Floyd Saw the Toad Pull His Skin
Over His Head.

obGE tbs I1SdN'
Lloyd was fond of all the creation
chat lived iii the garden, from the
robins high up in the apple tree to
the little ants which built their
homes in the gravel walks. He was
always careful not to hurt any OF
them, but he thought some of them
more interesting than others. There
was a toad which he called his, and
he fed it with crumbs every day.
He liked to watch it as it hoped
about among the plants, darting
out its bright red tongue to catch
any small insects which came in its
way.
One day Lloyd ran to his mother
in great excitement.
"lIy toad is trying to get his skin
offW he cried.
1t was true, and when Lloyd and
his mother reached the toad they
saw him pulling his skin over his
head in much the way that little
girl would take off her high necked,
long sleeved apron, only it was hard
er work for him to do. But he tug
ged away with his fore feet until he
was free, and then what bright
new coat he displayed.
Lloyd was delighted, and he ask
ed many questions about toads and
the way in which they changed their
coats, and after that he was more
fond of his toad than ever.-Emma

MANY OPPONENTS.
DOLE MAY BE REMOVED

CNAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 14.-AIail ad-
y vices from Honolulu are to the eff
feet that Senator George r. Carter
Of the Hawaiian legislature has re-
ceiYed a personal letter from President
Roosevelt asking for a statement OF
the political situation in Hawaii. Sen
ator Carter will leave for Washington
FEB IL 20 present the matter in per-
son. President ROosevelt's request, to-
gether with the report that President
Dole's resignation would be called for,
mas caused unusual interest in HonOlu-
iu political circles.
The differences between Judge Gear
or the First circuit court and AttOr-
ney General Dole as to the methods of
proceeding against transition period
prisoners" resulted in a remarkable
court proceeding, during which twelve
Inurcer indictments were disposed Of
IN an hour, last Wednesday afternoon.
Dole asked that the cases be continued,
as he claimed that they were dependent
upon decision of the Osaki Manki-
Chi case at Washington. Gear refused
10 grant a continuance.
Tnere were several bitter courtroom
passages between the attorney gen.
eral and the judge. Gear held that as
the indictments had been brought and
the defendants demanded a trial he
could not postpone, while Dole argued
that as the defendants had been con-
Nlcted before, whether the conviction
was legal or not and the question Of le-
gailty of the conviction was pending
IN the United States supreme court
continuances should be granted.
When Gear finally refused continu-
ances and ordered the cases tried, Dole
Withdrew from the courtroom and re-
FUSED to take any part in the cases at
all. The result was that four acknowl-
edged murderers were brought TO trial
with no prosecution, and no evidence
being brought against them, the jury in
each case was instructed to return a
verdict Of not guilty. The police
promptly rearrested the men as they
were set free, however and are hold
ing them under the old convictions

WaSbIngtOll's Delightful
$3.50 Dinner Parties

IS very characteristic, but this is not
true Of the other embassies and lega-
tons, all of which have adopted the
popular standard, and 10 dine at the
chinese or japanese legations is quite
as commonplace an experience as it
would be 10 dine at the house of
any rich man with an excellent chef
and we'll trained servants. The German
ambassador is a bachelor, and NJ. Cam
bon's family have never Joined him in
TINS country, but the absence of chat
elaines from the head of their embas-
sizes does not deter these popular diplo-
mats from entertaining, and their din
ners leave nothing 10 be desired.

consistent with his high rank and Ions
before Admiral Dewey became famous
as the hero of Manila bay he was IA
nous for the perfect little dinners he
gave at the Metropolitan club. Mrs,
Letter and Mrs. Townsend are both

TO their houses are eagerly welcomed
for not only is the service elegant, but

gulshed people who may be staying in
town. The gayeSt circle is 70 be found
without doubt at Mrs. Skaters, and heI
dinners are the Smartest, the most up
to-date; but they lack the piquancy
and flavor one finds at Mrs. Barney s
who does not cOnfine her invitations To
the fashionable set but seeks heI
guests among artists and literary peo-
pie, and is the presiding genius of q
salon as near like the French standard
of the eighteenth century as can be
found nowadays. The Boardmahs en-
terrain constantly and handsomely. and
among the younger set the Clarence
Moores, who have taken the Morgan
house on Scott circle, take the lead il
dinner giving.
