AND THE FROG CAME BACK.
Was. Taken Far from HIS Favorlte
Spring House, But They Couldn't
Lose Him. s~: D."

Nearly every living thing has a local
habitation and abiding place which it
regards as its home. Even frogs have
an attachment for particular places in
which to spend their leisure hours.
About three years ago Pennsylvania
farmer named Anderson found large
frog in front of the spring house, and
when the milkmaid opened the door
to put her pail of milk in the spring
the frog hoped in behind her.
"Goodness!" said the maid, sbut
you're big fellow"
It was big fellow. From his nose
to the ends Of his extended legs the
frog measured Is inches. 1T hoped
out of reach Of the girls hand and par
tally buried itself in bed of clay,in
\ the darkest corner of the spring house.
There, in a stupor, neither eating nor
drinking, it remained until the spring.
Then it departed. IS "a
Each autumn since then the frog
has appeared at the first sign of frost
and made his winter bed in the spring
house. This year he came as usual.
But the farmer desired to make an ex-
pertinent on him. He was awakened,
lifted from his warm clay nest, placed
in wagon and carried to a place a.
mile down the road. There he was
left.
Before evening he was back again.
The milkmaid found him at sunset
seated before the spring house door,
waiting patiently to be .letlin. N. ..

THE WEDDING INVITATION.
How a Man Feels When He Gets Ono
3S and His Efforts at Present
Buying. E.

A wedding invitation is practically
an admission ticket, costing $40, to the
church service; reception at the house
afterWard, extra; cards to the at
home, more extra, says the Insurance
Press.
When man gets an invitation ow.
adays he feels as be does when he has
been served with a subpoena. Hesput-
ters about the idiocy of marriage in
general, and wonders why in thunder,
or somewhere else where thunder is
unknown, t those little fools didn't just
stand up and get married and get it
over with. Then when he calms down
ne is inveigled into making an appoint
ment with his wife at some jewelers..
There he is met with bewildering ar
ray of silver trowels, meat saws, and
miniature . pitchforks, which his
learned wife explains to him are fish
knives, lettuce servers, and berry
forks, respectively.
Then, as his eyes wander about the
store, he spies golden ball, perforated
with fancy holes, and he ventures the
facetious remark to his wife that they
might take time by the forelock and
send that baby's rattle. Which is met
by the chilling rejoinder that "that" is
9 tea ball, and it is just the very thing.
And SO the man hands over the neces-
sary and his, wife directs where the
golden tea ball shall be sent.
The feelings of a strongj healthy
man being required; to attach his card
to dinky tea ball and send it to a
young couple as mark of his good
wishes fail either of expression or de-
scription. II.

SLAVERY IN NEW ENGLAND.
Brought to an End by tHie, Supreme
Court of Massa c1lusetts
iny17S3. F

Slavery in New England began soon
after the settlement Of the. country.
In 1853 Pequot Indians were taken
from Massachusetts, and sold in the
West Indies. The vessel returning
brought a. cargo of cotton and tobacco,
says the Boston Transcript. Slaves
were most numerous in New England
about the middle Of the eighteenth
century. In 1854 there were nearly
5000 negro slates in the state OF Mas
sachusetts. In 1850, in the declarations
Of rights, all men were declared to bes
free and equal. In 17s1 a white ma Il III In
Massachusetts, was indicted for beat
ing and imprisoning black man. His
defense was that this was the neces-s
sary and lawful correction for a slave.
for a slave could not be held ia sub,
lection unless one could punish him
when he went away or refused toi
work IN 1883 the supreme court OF
Massachusetts declared that the de
Tense was invalid. That put an end to-
slavery in New Eng gland. Slaves were
mostly household servants, kept large:

WORLDS FAIR SLANG.
st. Louis VIII Now Set the Pace I'm the
Coming OF New Words and
Phrases.

One Of the enduring effects OF the
Chicago fair in 1898 was the amount on
slang originated there. The Philadel-
phia centennial is indissolubly con-
nected in the minds of many pers ona
with the disappearance Of CharleY
Ross, and from that exhibition datesd
practically, the host Of jokes that have We
flooded magazines and enlivened the
stage on the slothfulness of Philadel-
phia and Philadelphians, says the. CHI "
eago Inter Ocean. 3 "a ssia
Now, ST. Louis, in anticipation Of the
opening of the Louisiana Purchase ex-. :-.
hibition, has been Furnishing up some
of the recent slang of the Mississippi
valley, and some Of the items may be
obtained from advance sheets, SO to
speak.
What is called in Chicago a dead
one" or Sleeper" is in St. Louis q
Grape" The St. Louis version Of the
expression "the real thing" for pref
ty girl is "a swell doll" A "crown
guy" is a policeman, "gitney" is .
nickel, and .'mug's landing" is the.
Union station. - -., 19s
St. Lous has large southern and
southwestern population. The SOUTH
west has, in recent years, superseded
the west very generally az the starting
place of most American slang, and st.
Louis has some geographical advan-
tages in this respect that are not likely
to be obscured by the action OF any
of its up-to-date citizens.

There has been considerable talk dur
ing the past year about effecting civil
organization for this congressional
township, but no definite steps have ever
been taken toward that end. It seems
that a majority Of the settlers favor
such q move, but no one has felt in
5clined to take the first step. Our com

derive beneficial results from township

In the last game played, up to the

three men on bases Mt. Vernon sue
ceeded in forcing in run, thus the

The home team was very well salts
with the games except at Whatcom
and one game at Vancouver where they
were beaten out of the games by the
umpire, which fact was frankly admit
ted by the press of those places, so had
they received their just dues they
would have won seven OF nine games.
Every man in the home team sure
played to win, and the coast players, as
as well as the papers, acknowledged
The Ellensburg dawn. [volume] (Ellensburg, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1903-06-18

that it was a little the best team
they had gone up against. This fact
was plainly in evidence since sufficient
inducement was brought in remuner-
ativs way to keep four of our boy. on
the other side-Daenzer, the left hand
pitcher, is striking out men for Van
couver, while Daviscourt Lewis and

This somewhat weakens the homo

players left, and enough more good
ones here that we will still have the
best team in Central Washington.

Of Twelve Members-!I
Girls and Boy.
MANY VISITORS ATTEND AND ENJOY
The Exercises The Busy Time Began Friday
asd Finished Yesterday Evening. Enter.
tainments, Receptions, Etc.

While all commencement weeks are
much alike, yet there are many points
of distinction. 1t is always very busy
time, and in that respect this one ust
closed at the normal has been like the
previous one, only perhaps much more
so.
Beginning with the performances of
the joint literary program on Friday
ening the work has been very active,
the entire time, day and evening, being
occupied.
Much too limited is our space to do
more than generalize, although a great
deal might be said in detail. The per-
formances were exceptionally well at
tended. In addition to a paper read by
day evening. Rev. Mathewson of Sc
attic, delivered practical and delight
full address.
Sunday morning Rev. Bartlett de-
liversd the address before the gradual
ing class and without question it was
most masterful and logical discourse.
1t was continuous flow of good things
from the beginning to the end.
Monday evening was devoted to the
senior class. The class displayed
great deal of originality in giving an
enjoyable evenings entertainment
Tuesday evening the annual reception
occurred, and was very pleasant and
social affair.
Wednesday morning Pres. Franklin
T. Kane, of our state university deliv-
cred the Grafton before the graduating
classes and to crowded and apprt ci-
ative house. On this occasion the an
pua custom of presenting the school
with mementos from the graduating
classes was observed as will be seen in
another column.
Wednesday night the graduates were
received into the alumni association,
at the regular annual meeting.
The following is a list of the out-of-
town guests.
