A Farmer who lived by his lonesome
and found the evenings rather long and
dreary, decided that the notes Of bull
frog would be just the thing to work a
pleasant change. He therefore dug out
a pond and was at considerable pains
to hunt up and transport a frog about
the size Of q smoked ham. Scarce had
the shades Of evning fallen when she
old frog began the little German band
business. At first the farmer was
pleased and 1ulled. but when he would
have slept the noise prevented. He
stood it for three or four hours and then
climbed out Of bed and visited the pond
and began to throw clubs.

HUNTERS PERILS IN AFRICA

Capt. Chauncy Hugh Stegand of the
British army has been tossed by a
rhlnoceros and nearly trampled to
death by an elephant On the first Of
these occasions the captain, accom-
panied by native hunters, was beating
the jungles for big game twenty miles
from Fort Nancy, in central Africa,
when he, in advance of the men,
started two rhinoceroses, which ran
toward him. One he turned with a
shot, while the other ran at MIN;
knocked him down and then thrust
his horn under his PROSTATE body and
tossed him in the air some ten or
twelve feet. This was a feat the
rhinoceros was well equal to, being
some two or three tons in weight, with
proportional height. Capt. Stegand
was seen flying in the. air above the
tall grass by his followers He man
aged to fall on the fiat of his back,
and so had no broken bones, but he
had deep wound in the chest above
the heart, where the rhinoceros had
lifted him, which took three weeks to
heal.

FAlTH or COLLEGE GIRLS

There recent arrest of young wom-
an for alleged thefts from the Smith
College dormitories at Northampton,
Mass, calls attention to the attitude
of college girls in the matter of safe
guarding their belongings.
There is an unwrftten law among
college girls that nothing belonging to
them shall be under lock and key and
they leave diamond rings blazing on
their dressing tables and their pocket
books peeking out of bureau drawers.
Il they miss a trinket or an article of
apparel for day or two they do not
worry, arguing that Elizabeth or
Genevieve or some other bosom friend
has simply borrowed it.
Sometimes girl will miss an opera
cloak and make no attempt to hunt it
up until she has need Of it herself.
Scarfs and gloves and handkerchief S
are often lent in this same careless
fashion. The girls say that it shows
mean suspicion of their college
mates, as well as an unaccommodat-
ing spirit, to keep their valuables lock-
ed up.
Room doors are almost Invariably
unlocked, and as the entrance door OF
the dormitory IS always unlocked
