Making a Business.

Some people enter into a business
in competition with other people and
others have knack of making a
business Of ther own, Both are con-
mendable but there is oftener a novel
and altogether an original plan in
making a business" Such was the
case in o. Bates undertaking to sup
ply number Of customers with dis.
titled water each day for drinking
purposes.
One day was devoted to advertising
his business by driving his water
tank over the town, on which pas
placed a banner with this inscription:
Get your jugs and come a-running,
For tomorrow | am coming
With water pure as 1t can be,
So please be looking for me-"

Boyer, the jeweler at 212 West Main
street. has under construction. The
wheels have been placed in order and
the little time piece is now faithfully
ticking off the time. The seventeen
jewels will be given their positions
soon. Mr.. Boger's superior knowl-
edge of watches and his skill in re
pairing them has won him an envia,
BILE reputation in the city and scores
of people call every day to see the
watch that he is making with his
own hands.
In speaking with Mr.. Boyer yes.
terday he remarked that people who
give him their watch repairing to do
realize that his is not blacksmith
shop, but the finest watch repairing
shop to be found anywhere.

ALL FROGS GOOD TO EAT.
As Much Enjoyed by the Small Boy
as by the Epjcure

The demand for frogs IS great. 1t
has increased with the years until now
at almost every banquet of i'm portance
the dainty is on the menu. Al OF the
larger dining places use from six to
ten dozes per day OF these crea-
lures, which, according to a scientific
paper, are waiting to be classified by
law as to whether they are fish or
animals-just as woman had to wait
for centuries to find out whether or
not they had SOulS-there seems to be
no especial variety for eating. They
are caught anywhere, ard, as small
boy said: All frogs are good to eat
it they are not toads.

around which few sturdy young
sons OF America are busy preparing
feast. ihey broil the tender, white
flesh, which they sprinkle with salt
and basts with bit of butter, carried
perhaps in q cinnamon can in a pocket
along with fish-hooks, keys, marbles
and string. The frogs may noe be
served on silver shells; they may be
garnished only with a spray OF fresh
ioyed as much by the youngsters, who
are their own chefs and walters, as
similar dish otherwise cooked and
served would be by grown-up be-
whiskered epicures
