MoNRoE's MUSICAL FROGS.
Illustrative Incident Shows What .
Touch Of Civilization Will
M Accomplish.


81 firmly believe" remarked former
Supervisor James Sackett to q report
er of the Rochester Post-Express, that
the musical fiber OF the frog can be
cultivated to degree where the rendi-
tion of popular airs and church music
is possible We usually associate the
frog with the bass tom-tom, boom
boom, and the shrill reverberations Of
less lusty lungs Heretofore. have
not observed any unity in their efforts
except common desire to keep ever
lastingly at it. But what touch of
civilization will do is shown by an in
cident that came to my notice on Joe
Kinks farm down home.
Now that it has stopped showing
Kinks love for his fiddle is indicated
by his presence on his back porch each
night. He sits there after doing his
chores until late in the evening and
saws away and grinds out some old
favorites Nearby is a frog pond, and
at first you couldn't tell whether Joe
or the ambitious vocalists were ahead
Then Joe began to notice that as he
played the chorus from the pond grew
fainter, and he remarked to his wife
one night, 'Derned If them frogs amt
listening
Then some of the tenors got to chip
ping in few notes when Joe reached
the refrain OF How Can | Bear 70
Leave Thee and soon he found that
he hot D. 1t L..
son. This pleased him so much that
he discarded the rest OF his repertoire
and confined himself to this one selec-
ton. On the next night after the ten
ors made their debut the bass began
to boom in. keeping time perfectly. On
the third night the whole pond was
alive with not only the refrain, but
with the entire air
When he'd take his seat On the
porch and give his hddle two or three
tuning up whangs the frog chorus
would instantly cease. except az here
and there one pitched the note. Then
when he struck up. the grand accom-
paniment began and carried the song
through to the end. all jumping on the
Anal note in unison,
"If Joe was pleased at this you can
simply imagine his pleasure when one
evening he heard the frogs start in on
his favorits air without waiting for
him to pace them. Now the whole
pond resounds with the strains OF How
Can I Bear to Leave Thee from dusk
until far into the night Mrs. Kinks
says It gets monotonous. but never
tires Of IT, suppose It's the only
frog pond In Monroe county that can
render wriNen music in perfect time
and with commendable technique"

FRIEND or THE FLAsHLIoHT.
Tintype Artists Formerly Of the Coun-
try Have Made Their Way Into
the City.

Has 1t ever occurred to you" asked
a New York photographer. that the
tin-type artist, as he called himself, is
passing out of the usiness? Here and
there you will find him, at a resort like
Coney Island or Far Rockaway. and
not long ago found one in the vicin-
lily of Grants Tomb.
But the tintype artist of the smaller
country town is a memory. You ask
what has become of him? Most Of
them. | think, have become itinerant
fiashlight artists.
And for real battlefield nerve they
are ahead of the Japanese soldiers.
They will walk into an Office with their
outfit and announce that they have
come to take flash Of the room and
before the occupants realize it the ap-
paratus is at work the flash is made,
and the chaps who do it-there are
generally two of them-fold up their
tripod and vanish
Then the occupants Of the room be-
gin to wonder what 1t was for They
find out within few days. One of the
itinerants returns with mounted pic
lures, which he offers for one dollar
each.
Strange to say, the people who have
been flashed buy the product, but ! am
of the opinion that they often do so to
keep their pictures from being exhibit
ed elsewhere In other words. they
buy up the circulation.
IF a book agent or canvasser gets
access to your Office you show him the
door, but one of these strolling flash
light fiends can walk in upon you, dis
tract you from your business, fill your
room with smoke, walk out. come back
IN . week. and sell you what he calls
picture, and you submit as quietly as
a young one who comes in contact with
a nursing bottle And the funny thing
about 1t is that this chap comes to the
eaty 10 do his business. You never ipd
him in the country town"

ON TREATMENT or WALLS.
A Few Suggestions Which May Be
Helpful in Housecleaning
Time.

Borders are freely used by fashion
able decorators. but they are as often
dispensed with, says Harper's Bazar.
If the ceilings are high, the border gives
balance las does also the cornice) to
the room; if low, the absence Of the
border acts in the same way, though a
five-inch cornice may be introduced with
good effect, in which colored kalsomin-
ing may be graded down in tones that
viii harmoniously bind the wall and cell
ing. and SO obviate too harsh definition
Of the two. All borders save those in
rooms higher than IL feet, where yari-
sty may be introduced ad libitum, should
b9 delicate in tone and soft in design,
not sharply drawn or pronounced. Clear
ly marked patterns are usually vulgar.
They shorten the appearance of the
walls, and often spoil the contour of
the room. AS a rule. the best bor-
ders are those having an open pattern
upon a light background. Wreaths, fes-
toons and derivations OF the Greek key
or geometrical design softly printed are
among the most permanently satisfac-
tory. Borders are rarely in good taste
with wide-striped wall papers or those
having large. highly colored designs.
When 30 combined they have the ap-
pearance of old-fashioned calico. Heavy
borders are sometimes highly effective
in combination with solid-toned walls
done in leather, damask or burlap.
Nothing is in worse taste than the
treating of the ceiling itself with dense,
highly patterned papers. The best ex-
amples / have seen of such decoration" /"
were merely vulgar and sitting, like
stuffy draperies. and gave the rooms
in which they were the appearance OF
bandboxes

BOB OWENS
DOOMERANG
Noted Cherokee POIitici an En-
gagged in Launching Double
State Campaign.

The Muslxogee correspondent Of the
Kansas City Star has been lnstru-
mental in launching Col. Owens two
state scheme. Following is the story;
Beginning August /, there will be
systematic campaign started In In
dian Territory to crystalize and organ
lie separate state sentiment and to
have the advocates work on definite
outline to accomplish separate state
hood.
This movement will be headed by
n. L. Owen, of Muskogee, one OF the
original separate state men Of the ter
ritory. Even this far in advance Of
the time wien the work is to begin
there have flocked around Col. Owen
several brainy young men who want
two states, and they are now collect
ing and preparing material for the
campaign this fall, when II Is proposed
to organize separate statehood clubs
all over the territory.
Already there has been one Lclub OF
this kind organized. The first is in
Ardmore, In the heart Of the single
state sentiment in the Chickasaw ma
tion. These organizations Will be
non-partizan, and both Democrats and
Republicans who are In favor Of two
states instead of one will be asked for
their sympathy and support.
The action Of Oklahoma In refusing
to concur in an agreement with the
other territories to permit plank In
the national platform declaring for
immediate statehood, the people to
decide the method of admittance by
vote, was, In a measure, responsible
for this movement.
Colonel Owen, with several other
active separate statehood men, was
busy at the Democratic national con-
vention spreading two-states doctrine,
not only among the territory delega-
tions but also among delegations from
the states where support will be needed
sooner or later.
When the statehood plank was first
inserted it was construed to read for
single statahood for Oklahoma and
Indian territories. Immediately thefc
was issued a bulletin signed by every
member OF the Cherokee Nation dele
CATION protesting against il. A copy
OF this was hung in all state head
quarters. A feature OF this two-state
movement is that it comes at time
when the single state men had de-
clared the two-state idea dead issue.
