probably compare pretty fayOrably
with biros. 1t is fully as active in
the determination of destructive in
sects as are the birds, and while il
never delights the eye OF ear with
bright plumage and song, it goes on
in the even tenor of its way and does
good. 1t is a bit sensitive about its
looks. and therefore, seldom ventures
out by day. but hides away under
walks and in holes in the ground
until night when it comes out and
seeks the vicinity of the electric are
lights, where the insects are found,
Under almost any of these lights can
be seen great numbers OF the toads
any evening, and this spring, it
seems, more than ever, the BOYS
have taken up war Of extermina-
tion, killing the creatures by hun
ireds with club and stone.
Parents should admonish their
boys not to kill the toads because
they are useful.

EXPERT MENT FAR M
One Wanted Here by Farmers
and Business Men.

The county commissioners were
last Tuesday petitioned to appro-
pirate $500 annually for the next i've
wears. for the establishment of an
experimental farm in this section,
to be under the supervision of the
agricultural college.
The petition was signed by large
number of members of the Farmers
League of Pleasant valley, and by
about fifty members Of the Greeley
Commercial club. The petition goes
on to state as argument in favor of
the plan, that a large amount of
money is sent out of the section each
season for seed potatoes, that could
just as we'll be raised right here, if
the proper facilities were provided
for the development of new varieties:
also that the different insects that
are destructive to crops, might be
studied and remedies discovered.
Other good reasons are also advanced
why such farm or station would be
valuable to the people Of this COM
munity.
The movement is largely the out
growth of the organization of the
Farmers League last winter, and
the subsequent holding of farmers
institutes in Pleasant valley, with
teachers from the agricultural col
lege as instructors. The petition
has been circulated by Ernest Bliss
and j. F. Reid, of the Farmers
League.
The commissioners made the ap-
preparation, providing those having
the matter in charge could make the
proper ;rangements with the agri-
cultural college, and that the COM
missioners might have the appoint
ment of the superintendent of the
farm in order to insure having a
practical farmer in charge. 1t is
the intention to rent a farm for the
present, until it can be learned how
much of success it will be. Then,
if it turns out as hoped farm may
be purchased,

1t was as easy to trace the effect
of this advertising on ticket sales as
it would be to note the filling of a
bucket from a pump. Tickets were
on sale at three places and after
each issue of the Tribune, sales
would increase. 1t was the same
way after the window cards were put
up, and again after programs were
distributed around the stores.
Over 300 tickets were sold by Friday
morning, in spite Of the almost
steady bad weather. 1t had been
the intention to have placed a pro-
gram in every house in town during
Friday, but this idea was abandoned
because it was realized that the ad-
vertising already done had more than
sold out the house. AS it was, had
the evening been pleasant and balmy
it would have been impossible to
handle the crowd, even in the opera
house.
While it would not be profitable
or even desirable for every local en-
tertainment or church supper to
spend any like amount of money in
advertising, it is a fact that many
good home entertainment could be
made much more profitable by a
judiciously increased expenditure for
publicity. One dollar is frequently
made to do the whole duty of adver-
tising church social. and that sum
is usually divided among three
papers. Is it any wonder that the
returns are small? 1t is bit like
irrigating potato field with one
barrel of water, and deciding that
irrigation don't pay. Many busi-
ness men fall into the same error
with their advertising.

Of watches. Mary Queen Of Scots was
the possessor of a skull-shaped watch.
In fact the deaths head" pattern was
at that time much in vogue. FndIess
were the styles. for there were watches
shaped like books, pears, butterflies and
tulips. The Nuremberg egg was a spec
ial shape, and was first made in 1900.
Ihose queer shapes of watches pre-
vented their finding a place in the
pocket. When was the fob first used
in the dress of man? The German of fob
is "fuppe," and it is believed that it
came from England. This conjecture
is strengthened by the fact that a short
fob chain attached to a watch of
Oliver CromweH's, in the British
museum, is. in point of date, the first
appendage of the kind known. The
watch is a small oVs1 one. in a silver

OF Theodore Watts-Dunton, the poet
and critic, whose engagement has been
announced, a publisher said the other
day:
AT the time of the completion of Mr..
Watts-Dunton's novel of 'Aylwin,' I
was in London, and called on him to
talk about the books American rights.
Mr.. Watts-Dunton and Mr.. Swim
burne received me together-they both
lived together for many years-and,
though we came to no agreement about
the American rights of 'Aylwin,' we had
a most interesting conversation about
men of letters
Mr.. Watts-Dunton told me a story
of Rossetti.
"Rossetti, as he sat at work in his
big house in Chelsea one day, was visit
ed by a certain African prince.
1.-The painter showed the prince
number of his pictures, and the latter,
much pleased. said:
g Paint for me, sir, a portrait of my
father
q Is your father in London?' Rossetti
asked.
mo. He is in better place than
London, said the prince. He is in
heaven. He has been dead for twenty
years.
Have you photograph, or anything
of that sort said Rossetti, that can
. No said the prince. There is no
likeness of my father extant.'
g Then, of course, can't paint him,
for never saw him. said the other.
But the prince pointed from one to
another of the splendid pictures in the
room.
& Did you ever see' he said, the sub
jects of these Dictures2 Did you ever
see Mary Magdalen. or Gree, or John
| the BaDtist?
No said Rossetti.
yet you have painted them we'll.
You have painted Mary Magdalen par
ticularly well. Therefore, said the
prince, Z am sure you are quite COM
| petent to paint my father. Paint him,
sir. III take no denial
'tRossetti, at a loss what else to do,
made a picture of an African chief, and
a week later the prince called to take it
away with him.
HE studied it on the easel a long
time. Then, with q pensive smile, he
said:
so that is my father. An how he
has changed Los Angeles Times.
