FROG WAS TO BLAME.
Weather Prophet Had Simply Put
Faith Where He Believed He
Had Right.

James Wilson, the secretary of agri-

kind of farming.
1T is about as profitable and logi-
CAL" he said, "as the weather reading
of a Connecticut farmland l used to
know.
This farmland claimed that he
could read the weather infallibly. On
walk with me one afternoon frog
croaked, and he said:
1--WE will have clear weather for "a
hours. When a frog croaks in the
afternoon you may be sure of "a hours
of sunshine
I'VE walked on, and in 20 minutes
or so a heavy shower came up and we
were both drenched to the skin.
You are a fine weather prophet,
said 1, as we hurried homeward
through the downpour. You ought to
be ashamed of yourself

frog lied. It's to blame, not me. Am
responsible for the morals of that

THE SHEPHERDS CROOK.
City People First Learn Use to Which
the Implement Is Put
by Owner.

"What Is a shepherds crook used
for?"
The automobilists were out, far out,
in the country. A summer sky of
bright, delicious blue smiled down on
them. An air perfumed with turf
and flower scents famed their cheeks.
The land was dotted with sheep,
which shepherd guarded, attended
by shaggy and wise shepherd deg.
The use of a shepherds crook?
Why" she said, at is a staff, sup
port, isn't it,"
But the crook-the crook handle
that Is what I'm speaking of. What
is the use of that crook handler" he
repeated.
She did not know. No one knew.
He called the young shepherd.
"These ignorant people," he said,
don't know why a shepherd always
carries a crook. Show them what a
crook Is used for"
The shepherd smiled, and, approach
a sheep, he hooked the crook around
its hind leg, and drew 1t to him.
He hooked another Sleeps hind leg,
another's, another's. In a minute or
two he had hooked a dozen sheep.
That's wot a shepherds crook is
fur" he said; "to grab holt o the
sheep with. A shepherd without a
crook would be like a fisherman with
out a hook"

AT CHICAGO NOW.
Testimony Taken by Cleveland
Grand Jury to Be Basis of
Suits There.


Chicago, ILL.,, Assistant At
torney General Pagin, arrived in Chi
cago Wednesday with a transcript of
evidence taken in Cleveland in the
inquiry into the relations of the
Standard Oil company and various
railroads, and submitted it to Former
District Attorney Morrison, special
counsel for the government. 1t was
the intention of the local federal
officials not to begin the investiga-
ton here until September 1, or later
but it is now probable that some
steps will be taken in the near fu-
ture.
The four propositions which At
torneys Morrison and Pagin will study
in connection with the investigation
are:
1. Charge against the Standard Oil
company of accepting illegal rebates
under the Elkins law.
2. Charge against the railroads of
granting the illegal rebate to the oil
company.
8. Combination in restraint of
trade and commerce with other oil
companies.
4. Monopoly of trade, not a COM
bination; or conspiracy to monop-
Ollie.

CLEANING THE BACK YARD.
Justice Brewer, of the Supreme
Court, Calls 1t Good Work.
lie Says Uncle Sam Is Disturbing O
Great Many, But the Country
viii Be Benefited.

M INV kee, wis. There
has been good deal of disturbance in
the body polite the past year and it
is likely to continue. The nation is
engaged in the business of cleaning
house. Uncle Sam is disturbing a
great many. There are a great many
that wish he would not be so parti-
lar. The truth of it is, we have been
long time fixing up our front
yards. They make magnificent show
ing. We have forgotten that every
been as particular about it. We are
going to clean the back yards"
These were the words OF Justice Da-
vid ]. Brewer of the supreme court
of the United States, in an address
Wednesday night before large num-
Der of life insurance agents who have
been holding their annual convention
in Milwaukee this week Continuing
Justice Brewer said:
"As result of the work now going
on there will be truth and honesty
in every market industry.
"a great many object to what is 60
ing on. They say it is disturbing
business and interfering with prosper
ity. 1t may be that some persons are
interfered with in business; some tenn
porary embarrassment, but nothing
will better build up the country than
to give every man, whatever he buys
in our markets, just what it purports
to be. In the long run everything
Will be improved if everything univer-
sally is just what it ought to be, and
every man in the country will be prof
tied in the long run.
Some think we are going to have
trouble every time there is an expose.
1t is not true. The great American
people are not unsound. To-day 1
want to appeal to you as men and
women of this republic; to the feeling
that the glory and future of this re-
public depends upon you. Every in
dividual should step forward and say:
I am going to see that peace, justice
and righteousness prevail / am sure
then that peace will prevail through
out"the land"

FcR TEE ENGAGED GIRL.

You must train yourself to be q
good wife.
Encourage him to be upright and in
dustrious.
They think 1t fine to be engaged to
two men at the same time.
1t isn't fine, girls; it's contempti-
BILE, and hurts girl immeasurably.
Learn the housewifely arts that will
teach you how to make happy home.
Help him to save by not demanding
extravagant gifts and treats from him.
After you have accepted mans
love try and realize the responsibility
that rests upon you.
And whether the acceptance is sym
bolized by a ring or not, the obliga-
ton is there just the same.
Do not plight your troth to any
man without being very sure that you
cannot live happily without him.
Some girls make and break engage
ments of marriage as casually as they
would an engagement to go to the the
alter.
Do not lead a man on to propose
merely for the satisfaction of conquest
Human hearts are not made to juggle
with.
That all sounds like very large
contract, girls, but that is what you are
responsible for when you accept
mans love.
Try and bring out all that IS best
in your fiance; let him see that you
love and respect him and admire his
fine qualities.
Don't look on him as merely the
man who can help you to have good
time; look on him as your future hus-
band, the man you love and honor.
