Clergyman Pedd:es Sermons.


An English clergyman makes busi-
ness of syndicating sermons" says a
drummer who has just returned from
London.
How do you mean?" some one ask
ed.
Why" explained the drummer, ''the
clergyman writes a sermon and then
he prints about forty or fifty copies
of it, and he offers to one breaches in
each Of forty or fifty towns the ex-
elusive use in his own town of the
production. The price of the sermon to
each man is only five shillings, but if
fifteen or twenty men take it it brings
into the syndicate. you see, about 100
shillings, or SO. And since the SER
mons are SO short that one can be
done in a morning, that is pretty good
pay. The syrdicatOr advertises his SER
mons in a religious paper. The notice
reads:
"A clergyman Of experience and
moderate views, who distinguished
himself during his university course
in divinity and English composition
will furnish original sermons, in strict
accordance with the Church of Eng
land, in good print, at five shillings
each. Only one copy will be given in
any diocese A specimen will be sent
il wished for. Sermons made to Or
der on any required subject, on reas-
enable terms. '"-Philadelphia Record.

odd Facts About Frogs.

The frogs skin Is SO important as
a breathing apparatus that the crea-
ture would die at once of suffocatiOn
if the pores We're closed by a coat of
sticky varnish, by dust or in any other
way. While we are speaking of his
breathing you will notice that his
sides do not heave as ours do at each
breath we take. A frog has no ribs
and cannot -inhale and exhale as We
do, but is obliged to swallow his air
in gulps, and if you will watch this
little fellows throat you will see it
continually moving in and out as one
gulp follows another. In order to swal-
low his mouth must be closed; Just
try to swallow with your mouth wide
open and see what l mean. A frog,
then, always breathes through his
nose, and if you held his mouth open
he would suffOcate as surely as though
you gave his skin coat of varnish.
Mr.. Frog has an enormous mouth for
his size and if we We're to put a finger
row Of teeth in the upper jaw and
that his soft white tongue, unlike our
own, is attached in front and is free
behind. When ne wishes to catch any
insect he throws out the free end of
the tongue, then draws it in so rap
idly that it is difficult to see whether
he has bein successful or not AS the
tongue is coated with a gummy fluid
the insect sticks to it and is carried
back into the mouth. which closes upon
1t like the door of tomb. Frogs, how
ever are not limited, to one mode of
feeding; they often leap open-mouthed
upon larger prey, which includes be-
sides insects small fish. mice, small
ducklings, polliwogs and tiny frogs

JectS to come before the Legislature at Its

school system of the State. We hereby
pledge every Democrat who may be elect
ed to the Legislature to work for the en-
actmeht of a school law that shall pre-
serve the principles of home rule in
school matters and safeguard the chill
dren of the State and their parents from
the frauds and extortions of book trusts.
In this we invite the cooperation of ev-

scandalous corruption has grown up in
the administration of county affairs by
reason of the so-called fee system. We
pledge the untiring opposition of the
Democratic party TO this system. We
charge that the action of the Republi-
can Legislature in passing an invalid law
purporting to be aimed at this evil, was
merely subterfuge, and that the law
was never intended to correct the evils
and restore a reasonable and economical
ernor and Auditor of State, as well as

to proceed at once to investigate the
widespread abuse of the fee system and
to visit strict justice upon guilty Off
cials.
Ii. Until United States Senators are
required by amendment of the Federal
Constitution TO be elected by popular

Upon these principles of home rule and

sided. yet not daring to risk a popular

vented the Republican convention from
approving it. The amendment is there
by deprived of the benefit of place ir
the Republican column on the officia

In consequence of the alliance of priyi

ayers i'll Ohio the recent history of the
Republican party of this State in connec-
tion with taxation is a glaring and un-
varying record of double dealing with the
people, of favoritism toward railroad

such local officials as have tried TO rem
edy these fiscal abuses. and of free-pass
bribery-open, bold and iabitual-to-

cry more profitable and potent. though
less audacious. With such Il record il
is natural that the Republican leaders
and their corporate allies and beneficial

Mrs. Slaughter Explains.

bismarck, e 20, 1903.
Editor Tribune: For the informa-
ton Of my friends in the state who
may read the purported resolution"
published elsewhere in this state, I
beg to say:
The Florence Cr:ttenton Circle of
Bismarck, is an auxiliary or branch of
the National Florence C%rittenton Mis-
sion, chartered by act of congress. and
in which is vested the title to all home
property in the United States.
The circle Is an agent of the \
tional Mission under its congressional
charter. and is Incorporated under the
laws of North Dakota to conduct the
home in this state-cOrresponding to
the boards Of control, which are
c%orporated in other states for that pur.
pose.
1t is provided in the constitution of
the National Mission that its men,
bers ray be removed by a majority
vote OF the national executive commit
tee, but there is no such provision in
the circle constitution and the national
society must be notified before any
changes whatever are made.
In defiance Of the above regulation
and in violation of the laws regulating
corporations in this state, some of our
corcle members have tried to read
me out of the circle by a resolution
drawn by an employee of the home,
rand carried from house to house for
signatures of members.
The charge implied in the 'reso-
luton that l was working against
the interests or advancement of the
circle and work is untrue, I simply
objected to an unworthy employee of
the home.
AS chairman of the legislative com
mittee of the circle I was actively en-
gagged in working for the passage of
two bills through the legislature-one
for an appropriation for the home;
the other for raising the age of con.
sent, and other amendments to the
penal code of this state.
AS corresponding secretary of the
circle. I was arranging to advertise
a series of meetings %througout the
state for an evangelist to solicit funds
for the home, and was trying to Sc
cure a better location for the home
