Grated a large jug er-rum" because the
frog was shedding tears at the thought
that he was soon to be made. part of his
supper
Mr. Apgar was walking along the north
branch of the RaTitan river, which flows
through his place, when he suddenly
spied an enormous bullfrog. After con-
siderable maneuvering he managed to
capture the frog alive. He says it meas
ured thirteen 1nehes from4tip to tip, and
weighed a little over four pounds. He
thought the legs would make a nice meal,
so he took the frog home and put it un-
der a box on the back porch.
A little while afterward he heard a
noise like the crying of an infant or the
faint Sobbing of a young schild, and he
could not imagine where the sound came
from, as no children lived at his house.
But as the wailings sound continued he
decided to investigate and soon found
that the dismal cry came from the box
under which he had placed the frog. Lift
ing the @box, Mr.. SApgar says, he was
greatly surprised at seeing the frog ac-

of his eyes and dropping on the boards,

affected Mr.. Apgar that he took him out
and carried him back to the river, where,

deep thanks for his liberation.

MOTOR AMBULANCE
FOR USE IN WARFARE
New Invention Is Bullet Proof
and Withstands Most Vicious
Attacks Made Upon 1t

LONDON, June 22.-Some interest
ing Red Cross experiments making for
humanity in war were conducted at
Bisley recently, with the object of test

relief of the sick and wounded and the
prevention of enteric.
The most Important of these inven-
tons is the first aid Ivel motor, Won

steel and capable of carrying its occu-

This motor car, the invention of Mr.
Dan Alabone, is, in undress uniform, a
harmless looking engine. 1t has three
wheels and is capable of a speed Of six
miles an hour over the toughest ground.

Putting of Machines Increases Terror Of
Horse-PoIiceman HaIts Animal

NEW YORK, June ga stirring and
spectacular scene on upper Seventh ave-

before pursuing automobiles and the final
heroic rescue of the driver, William .
ByrneS, a lawyer of 1874 Webster ave-
nue., with his wife and four-y ear-old child.
by Mounted Policeman James Cavanagh
For time Seventh avenue presented
the appearance of a race track The par

drew up to give the runaway full sweep

corner to watch

Freak Fishes

A novel exhibit at the ST. Louis fair
that will feature prominently in the
aquatic line will be that of a number
of freak specimens of fish; papier
mache models of which have been pre-
pared by careful archaeological taxi
dermist. The originals of these may be
seen at the New York aquarium. Ow-
ing to the very delicate nature of some
of these fish it was thought inadvisable
to transport them to the fair exhibit
One of the most peculiar of these Gu
rtesities to be reproduced is the silver
Ratchet" a specimen scarcely larger
than a perch, less than a third of an
inch in thickness and nearly five inches
deep from top to bottom. 1t is covered
with silvery pigment and it's sides are
f1uted. Another remarkable creature
reproduced is the "cryptopsaras," a
self-illuminating fish. Protruding from
the top Of the head, between the eyes,
is curious rod-like organ over a foot
in length and dropping over the back.
At the end of this rod is an egg shaped
bulb. Within about five inches of the
tail is a second rod, at the tip of which
is another bulb. These two lamplike
bulbs contain phosphorescent matter,
which enables the fish to make its own
MISUNDERSTANDING Record.

BULLY GETS GOOD
Sound THRASHING
How an Eat EN- Alive Hero
Went Out and Came
Back

NEW YORK, June 22.-It was o'clock
IN the morning and the Scotch mist was
thick along Broadway. There was a chill
In the air that suggested "Oh what so
raw day in June!' The lights of a we'll
known all-night restaurant were reflected
on the wet pavements in most alluring
fashion. Inside there were scattered a
dozen or twenty newspaper men and other
nightworkers seeking refreshment for
jaded minds and bodies. The warmth
and glow were seductive and conversation
was quiet and genial.
Suddenly harsh, boisterous, discord-
ant note was struck. From a table in the
middle of the room big, burly man with
blazing eyes and fierce mustache was
heard exclaiming in a loud deep voice
and blatant, offensive manner:
III go home when / am good and
ready See?''
Something inaudible to anybody else
was said to him by the suave head waiter,
and then
Put me out Of here." beloved the big
man. ''Why, I could break you and all
your walters across my knees and throw
you all out of the window
Yes, that's my hat. Let it alone! or
I'll smash you, you blankety- blank blank
blank! and so on, in a torrent of foul
and blasphemous language r
Silently the little army of walters scat
tered about the room, developing a STRAIT
egg worthy Of the Japs before Port Ar
thur, had first drawn near and then lined
up from the table to the door, In
twinkling the head waiter seized the ruff
fan by the back of the neck, jerked him
to his feet and threw him to the next
man. From the second man he was
passed to another and another waiter
down the room like ball in play, hurled
through the glass doors and deposited in
heap on the sidewalk in less time than
it takes to tell.
The walters took their stations. con-
versation was resumed, peace reigned
again and the incident was as if it never
had happened.
Five minutes later the glass doors were
pushed gently apart and there again
stood the bully But how changed.
Crestfallen and shaking he stepped nerv-
ously into the room, his hat held humbIy
before him, his voice trembling and
scarcely to be heard
Say he said to the nearest waiter,
"did have an umbrella when was here
little while ago?'

HAD RIGHT TO SHORE
Boy Who Slept In Church Gets
Job I'm Police Court

NEW YORK, June 22.-Magistrate
Crane held in the Jefferson Market po-
lice court that it is an inalienable privi-
lege to snore even in church. He ex-
pressed the opinion when Harry Wilson,
seventeen years old, who says that he
halls from Chicago, was hailed before
him because he went. to bed under the
organ of st. Joseph's church, Sixth av-
enue and Washington place, and inter
rupted the evening services by snoring
loudly
The boy told the magistrate that he had
been in this city a week and that he had
run out of money and had no place to
sleep.
Il don't see that this boy has done any
thing very terrible said the magistrate
He simply crawled in through a win
dow and went to sleep. 1 think I will
discharge him.
Michael Bachelor, the sexton of the
church, objected.
I'VE don't make a lodging house of
the church, he protested.
IF I had church, said the magis-
trate, Il would be glad to have the whole
universe sleep there
1T wasn't very nice of him to interrupt
the service by snoring objected Bach

tor Fairbanks. who had become known
as the national choice for second place
on the ticket 1t exceeded in enthusi-
asm the greeting of the first day.
While delegations interchanged ideas
on the floor, or sought their seats, the
convention was called to order abrupt
~ by the temporary chairman, Elihu
Root. When the delegates delayed
obedience to the call, Mr.. Root without
hesitancy peremptorily ordered the
sergeants-at-arms to clear the aisles.
The f1rmness he displayed appealed to
the delegates, and from confusion the
convention quickly changed to a well
ordered body. After prayer by the
Rev. Thomas e. Cox, the business Of
the day began.
When Senator McComas had COM
pleted the reading of the report from
the committee on credentials, Senator
FORAKER called the attention Of the
convention to the fact that Maj. Gen.
Osterhaus, German veteran of the
civil war, was in the hall and sug-
gested that he be invited to a seat on
the platform. The convention cheered
the name of Osterhaus. 1t was known
to all readers of history, but the Ohio
senator spoke of the part the general
played in the assault upon Missionary
Rldge ana or his aid to Sherman In the
latter's march to the sea. The chair
man appointed committee which es-
corted the general to the platform,
where he was introduced to the con-

LETTER OF WOMAN
LORD NELSON LOVED
Written by Lady Hamilton, 1t Is
Published by Relative of His
Lordship's Secretary

LONDON, June GA letter from
Lady Hamilton, written after Nelson's
death, which has not hitherto been
printed, is printed in the current num-
Der of Chambers Journal, in an article
by Rev. R. A. Gatty on his father in
law, DR.. Scott, who was Nelson's sec
rotary and chaplain.
This is the letter:
Cromwich, Sept. 7, 1806-My Dear
Friend: l did not get your letter till
the other day, for l have been with
Mrs. Bolton to visit an old, respected
aunt of my dear Nelson's. 1 shall be in
town, that is, at Merton, the end OF
the week, and hope you will come
there on Saturday and pass Sunday

it is, how cruel, their treatment to me
and Horatio. That angels last wishes

that was acted to keep back the codicil.
But enough! when we meet we will
speak about it. God bless you for all
your attentions and love you showed
to our virtuous Nelson and his dear
remains; but is seems that those that
truly loved him safe to be victims to
hatred, jealousy and spite.

However, we have innocence on our
side, and we have,- and had, what they

his unbounded love and esteem, HIS
confidence, and affection. l know well
how he valued you and what he would

know the great and virtuous affection
he had for me, the love he bore my

over him I used it for the good of my
country.

death that the king and the nation

FAVORITE SONS WILL
STAY IN BACKGROUND

Entries in the vice presidential race
are scratched with great rapidity since
the withdrawal of Representative Hit
was announced today. Colorado, Ne
braska, Wisconsin and Missouri have
all decided not to place their faVorite
sons in nomination. Positive announce
ments to this effect, however, have not
been made. The course pursued when
the roll of the states is called for nom
lnat1on will govern. The Missouri DEL
egation tonight seems least inclined to
abandon its intention to place Mr. Wal
bridge in nomination. A meeting of
the delegation was called to caucus on
the question. 1t was postponed until
tomorrow morning, and the opinion ex-
pressed that no other nomination than
that of Senator Fairbanks swould be
made.
The Wisconsin delegation has come
to the same conclusion without a meet
ing regarding the presentation of the
name of Gov. Scofield. However, if
Colorado should set the pace by max
ing it free-for-aH event, each state
will bring forth it's aspirant without
hesitation.

come"
The scene that followed was inspir-
ing. Until the applause subsidized, Mr..
Cannon stood awkwardly facing the
audience. In contrast with this was
his appearance after he had made
himself heard and his magnetism felt.
Speaker Cannons manner was dis
tinetly to the liking OF the convention.
He established cordial relations even
before he had uttered word He
stepped forward on a tonglike pro-
lection in the center of the platform.
His face was set. 1t displayed album
dance of humor, strangely mingled with
determined pugilism. He was slow to
begin. His thoughts were pictured on
his face. Instinctively he drew him
Self up and raised his hand for

The speaker had written his first
speech and had tried to memorize ii.
But he did not show the slightest in
tention of following 1t. He knew the
inspiration that would come, and he
just wanted free hand to cut loose.
SO let us ranlble while" That is
what he said. And then he abandon
ed himself to his limitless store Of
political sagacity and his original and
characteristic vocabulary Through
out his address the cheering was gen
erous.
