THE FROG ORIGINATED
Came Into Being Because a Weary,
Thirsty Woman Was Prevented
from Getting a Drink.

Did you ever hear how frogs origi-
mated? 1t is a queer story, but then
it happened a long time ago, when the
world was young and all sorts OF queer
things were happening. We can, OF
course, believe as much or as little OF
such stories as WI please, but at a
they entertain us.
Now as to the frogs, they came into
being because a weary, thirsty woman
was prevented from getting a drink OF
water. Here is the way the story Is
told:
Latona was a beautiful goddess. who
lived with the other goddesses and gods
on Mt. Olympus. where Jupiter and
Juno reigned. as you know. She was
distinguished for many things, but
chiefly for being the mother of Apollo
and Diana. 1t seems that she incurred
the Ill will of Juno in some way and
was banished from Olympus, with no
place to put her foot and no shelter
for her weary head, for Juno had made
Terra, the earth, promise that she
should not find rest anywhere.
Neptune, the god of the sea. how
ever. took pity on the banished goddess
and invited her to the Isle of Delos,
which then fioated under the water but
rose to the surface at his command.
There she found peace and comfort and
brought Up her two famous children,
Apollo to become the god of the sun
and Diana the goddess of the moon.
But perhaps you are wondering what
all this has to do with the frogs. 1t is
said that one day while Latona was
wandering desolate and weary with her
children, while they were yet babies
she came to a pool of clear. sparkling
water. Half dying with thirst. god
dess as she was, she ran toward the
pool to drink some of the cool water
but a crowd of ugly yokels surrounded
1t and kept her away.
! She had up to this time borne hei
privations ard sufferings with patience
! and resignation, but at this act OF wan.
ton cruelty her patience gave way and
turning furiously on the yokels sht
turned them all into croaling frogs
when they have remained TO this day

Times ForeIock Gone.

One of the most remarkable char"
acteristics of Sir Joshua Reynolds
was the rapidity with which he
worked. Sir Thomas Lawrence. his
rival, was very slow. Over his por.
trait of Lady Marlborough and her
child he took an uncomfortable time.
Promise after promise was made, and
at last Lord Marlborough insisted on
fulfllment.
"Well," said Lawrence, eff Lady
Marlborough will kindly bring the
baby once more, I viii really finish"
"Well, Sir Thomas" answered his
patron, my wife will be happy to
give you another sitting whenever
you like, but the baby's now in the

Be Kind to All.

It is not improbable that no man
ever had a kind action done to him
who did not, in consequence, COM
nit a sin less than he would other
wise have done. Kindness seems to
have a strange power. Men listen to
it who have been deaf to the plead
ings of angels. It is in the power OF
kindness to lessen the number of
mems sins, to encourage others In
their efforts after good. Habits OF
sin, even when put to death as habits,

THE MILKY SEA.
A curlou. sight occa.lonnny WITT

A Curious Sight Occaslonnlly wit.
messed In Tropical Waters.
OF the many sights witnessed in the
oceans Of the globe, one Of the most
curious and most weird is that de
scribed by sailors us "the milky sea-"
ships being surrounded for several
hours by water that appears to be
snowy whiteness. The spectacle is re
stricted to the darkness of night and
rare occasions, and, while it is limited
mainly to the warmer waters of the
tropical belt, it appears to be more
common in the Indian ocean than in the
Atlantic and Pacific. From the white
water the light is so strong that ordi-
nary newspaper print can be read on
board ship, but the scene all round is
Of an awe inspiring description. The
horizon is blotted out, sea and sky seem
to become one In sort of universal
luminous fog, which, like a London fog,
robs the observer of the sense of dis
tance and direction, the deck being lit
up with Il ghastly, shadowless light.

tied back into the sea resembled molten
lead. This curious sight has interested
scientific investigators, but while it is
no doubt related to the many phos.
phorescent displays common at sea
there is no sufficient explanation forth
coming of this particular manifestation
or of the singular atmospheric effects
resulting from it.

The Right of the Case.

First we paid s2O,ooo,ooo for the
Philippines in toto. Now we pay
S7,2lO,0O0 for the Friar lands. And
no one has yet been able to show
what right we had to meddle with
the land of the Filipinos in the first
place, or the lands Of the Friars in
the second place. Columbus Press
Post.
Why, we have the right which
comes from might, OF course. We
were there as the friend of the weak.
We concluded that we might take
the Filipino and Cypress him. There
is that old feeling Of expressing the
man with dark skin still lurking
in the plutocracy which is running
things in this country at present.
So we paid Ss0,O0O,OOO for the
right to steal something. We
bought off some one who had no
title and who never could have got
ten one.
SPAN having no title Of course
the S20,00O,O00 was wasted. We
got nothing for it, except right to
prosecute war interminably.
But the people who are running
things at Washington have learned
nothing by experience. That is
plain from what is going on in the
isthmus.-C Cleveland Recorder.

Tribute To Courage.

1t is not probable that the oppon-
ents of Governor Cummins mean
their position and actions to be TAX
en- as tribute to his courage, but
that is what they are, and the great
est tribute his critics are able to pay.
1t is asserted time and again that
Governor Cummins is practically
alone as republican in his posi-
tion. A republican, according to all
indications, he proposes to remain.
He is receiving aid from no other
source, but is no less aggressive
than in former times. Indeed, his
latter declarations are declared by
his critics as more radical that his
former announcements. If they
ale more radical, if he has know
ledge of the fact and ifhe proposes
to continue to be political factor
in Iowa, his courage must he ad-
mitted if he stands alone.
On the other side, those who
choose to be called stand-patters as
sert that they and those who hold
with them are strong enough to con-
troll the party in Iowa The pres
ence Of A. B. Cummins in the COVER
nor's office is explained by them as
being due to their tolerance and
fore-bearance, They at first intend
ed "to pound him into the ground" /"

site selected for the first political
interment by the triphammer

venience Of the governor as to az

are showing full appreciation of the
value OF precautions. They appear
to be making strange and warlike
i preparations for the funeral. The
care Of their organization indicates
profound respect for the fighting
qualities Of this one man-this
democratic republican who stands

Once Upon a Time.

Stories by the fire ut night
All about big. bearded giants
Till shivered in alright;
hen her voice came from distance
From drowsy, far.off cline.
Echoing the sweet old cadence.
Once upon Tine"
Read once golden story
Of King Arthur's wonder court,
Lancelot and Guinevere.
All the knights Of brave report.
But amidst the loving. hating.
SIN heard the inslstent chime
Like cuckoo clock repeating,
"Once Upon Time"
Will our lives when we have lived them
Seem like stories We have read?
Stories which our nurses told us
rs we lay all snug In bed?
VIII they seem as vapue as dreams are,
All the days we thought sublime?
shall we hear the faint, low whisper,
"Once upon Time?
When the earth and day and sunlight
" hen the years that we have lived here
Seem like one brief day;
Shall We hear again at twilight
Echo Of our nurses rhyme,
- Here you lived and loved and labored."
