THE BuLLFRoG JILTEp.

A bullfrog wooed a nightingale
With voice brim full of passion.
He fondly loved that nightingale,
Although quite out of fashion.
He groomed himself as best he could
And hoped unto her bower
While painfully he dragged along
A sweetly scented flower.
The nightingale looked down on MIN
With scant regard, alas,
For while he was good bullfrog
He was not in her class.
Said the nightingale, with nose atilt,
"You do affront me greatly,
You are not known to our set,
1 have not met you lately.
I have some standing In the world.
When on the opera stage
I was received with marked acclaim
In fact, was all the rage
The bullfrog answered, Lady falr'
tell you what We'll do.
Well form a splendid opera troupe
And I'll sing base to you.
"The very idear' she replied,
you really wax offensive.
l fear that you lack knowledge, sir,
And are not comprehensive.
You see. while fly In the air,
You hop along the ground;
And I can never love you, sir.
NY dislike is profound.
Although / hear you've honesty
And virtues not few,
You are not in society
And that will never do.
Pray, do not linger longer here
I fear you bring discord.
With my superior attachments, sir,
1 think I'll wed lord"
The Kansas City Star sagely remarks

Mae Wood as Miss Mary Wood. Yet bet
your life it would. and Furthermore no
one has the temerity to thus address the
most redoubtable female in the united
states, Carrie Chapman Gait, Carrie Ma
ton and Susan B. Anthony alone except
ed. There is homelike sound to Mary
that would be extremely out of place
when applied to Mae Wood. On the con-
trary there is a touch of the devil-may-
care and tell with the fiddler In Mae
that is well nigh irresistible,
A gentleman in Cincinnati-preferabl

A New York correspondent affirms that
the path of negro woman in New York

~ WOMAN who has won renown by
V1 writing short stories that depict
ideal lovemaking and a man who
has been successful as a magazine editor
and writer have just been divorced. Both
are literary, aesthetic temperamental and
inspired by lofty ideals-especially as re-
CARDS married life. They met in "Bohe-
mia and after discovering mutual inter-
ests they were married. The ceremony
was performed less than two years ago
but they discovered their incompatibility
long before the DIVORCE proceedings leaked
out and overlooked into the press. Then
the public was treated to a series of
stories, thinly disguised, which detailed
the troubles of the young husband and
wife Both grew weary of the married
state, each found out that the other was
not all anticipated, little family jars re-
suited and then-away to the divorce
court. There is something distinctly anus
ing about this case sad though it may be.
1t shows that all is not as 1t Is writ, and
that while one may idealize to his hearts
content in fiction, real life has more
practical side. Perhaps if Juliet Wilbur

Chancellor James r. Day of Syracuse
university ordered all the college frater-
mites to get rid of their bulldogs in TWEEN
ty-four hours, declaring that the bull dog
is not typical of the ideal of Students. One
is led to the conclusion ahat Chancellor
Days head is very, very level. Bull dogs
are not lovely, even though they be-a fad.
They do not constribute to the public's
peace of mind and since they are not at
Syracuse for the Improvement of their
minds. a prompt expulsion will work no
hardship.
1t is stated that Chicago woman broke
chairs over her husbands head when ever
he started to pray. Women are so hard

her husband stays out late at night and
another will wax furious because he Is
too good. Where is the happy medium?

Japan's Remarkably Small Sick List.
Sir Frederick Treves, a well known
English surgeon, made speech at the
recent dinner Of the Japan society In
London in which he said, according to
the report in the London News:
.If you want to see the last thing,
the most ingenious thing and yet the
simplest thing in the equipment for
war, you must go and see it in Japan.
Many of the problems which concern
European armies and have been to a
large extent a terror Of war In Euro
pean countries the japanese are solv-
ing or have solved British troops en-
ter a war with many determinations.
One is 10 per cent Of sick. 1t is what
they are accustomed to expect to get,
and they get it. Now, the japanese are
quite content with / per cent OF sick,
and they get it. 1t Is question OF
ambition perhaps, which might well be
initiated. But the problem OF reduc-
ing 10 per cent to the Japanese have
done a great deal to solve"

He was not a politician and never
sought office, and yet he loved his
country too well ever to neglect his
duty in earnest endeavor to secure COM
petent and worthy men for places of
trust in government service. He was
a Republican in party utilization, and
always staunch temperance man. His
neighbors always knew where they
would find him on all great moral
issues.
Mr.. Severance was a man of large
sympathies. His heart was easily
touched by the misfortunes of others.
When any of his neighbors had met
with any great financial loss and were
in trouble, he was usually the first to
start the subscription paper in their
behalf, and circulate it himself among
his friends to relieve the unfortunate
of their dstresses. For his timely aid
and kindly deeds he will be greatly
missed in his neighborhood. The large
attendance at his funeral testifies to the
esteem in which he was held by those
that knew him.
for he was human. He was quick to
resent an injury and showed spirit
when he thought he was wronged, but
when proper reparation was made, he
was just as quick to forgive and forget.
He valued his friendships, and when
once made they were not easily cast
aside
AS farmer he early acquired a COM
potency with which he was content, and
lived his long life without a sense of
want.
During the last few months of his
life his mind weakened and his faculties
were under a cloud. A partial paralytic
stroke had rendered the physical incom-
petent to give expression of the mental,
The worn out body could no longer
reveal the play of the intellect. At
length the cloud broke and the soul
leaped into the noon of the eternal life.
Goods finger touched him and he
fslept." ----------
