Dog Killed by a Street Car.
By JEAN ATS.

With trousers ragged, and spotted and torn
AS to color-a faded corduroy
In a strap-some old books-all thumbed and
worn.
Not pretty-the picture and when we add
To the poor ensemble, a yellow dog,
You will turn away-contemptuous-m
And disappear in the mist and the fog.
And yet here is matter for brush, and pen;
But it takes artist to point it out;
I'll try (there's lump in my throat) and when
I'm through, you'll do as did, turn about
Pat the lad on the back, feel for dime,
Wipe your eyes, and stand there quiet and still,
Till the light of the street-car, making up time,
Sinks into the haze of the morning chill
No sound-but the sobs of the broken heart;
No motion-but throes of the yellow breast;
In the line-eyes wet-each bearing his part;
Twas his little dog-and you know the rest.

The Tree-TOdd.
The Dude of the Frog fdmily

is of the family Hylde. They are distinguished
from the common ruck of frogs, (Ranida) by
having the ends of the fingers and toes dilated
into fiattened discs, suckers which enable them
to lead their peculiar arborea life. Bred and
born in mud and slime they have within them an
instinct for higher things and it is not long be-
fore they look longingly toward the outrageous
trees which shelter the gay plumaged birds; and
it is not long until they get there hence the name
They are of more elegant form, brighter colors.
and more active habits than the common frog.
They fond of changing the color of their Dress

THANK Heaven!" breathed Msckin fervently
Isabel there's a minister's house across the
street." and with this apparently irrelevant state
ment he rescued Isabel from the debris and they
promptly walked and were married before
the rest of the afflicted had recovered conscious
ness. After which there nothing much for
the afflicted to do but smile painfully and accept
the situation
AS for Richards, he is impatiently waiting for
the slow-moving country recluse to send him the

"The Frog went courtin and he did ride"
"Ooh, hoo!"
with sword and pistol at his side"
"Ooh hoo!"
1t is further related that he set his affection
upon frisky, frolicsome young mouse, for after
little coy conversation he is said to have asked,
Say Miss Mouse will you marry me?"
"Ooh hoo"
"Say Miss Mouse will you marry me?"
"Ye-Yes,-if Uncle Rat will agree"
Answered the demure young creature
1t seems that Uncle Rat" was we'll pleased
glad probably to be rid of his mischievous young
ward; for
"'Uncle Rat laughed and shook his fat sides'
Ooh. hoo"
"To think his niece would be bride!!"
Ooh, hoo"
The wedding supper was provided of course by
the groom, for when the avaricious old uncle who
lived in a great big cheese asked about it the
little dude answered haughtily:
Way down yonder in the old hollow tree
"Ooh, hoo!"
That of course settled the question that he be-
longed to that ambitious family of Tree-toads, the
Hylidp.
The wedding supper may not have been exactly
to Miss Mouse's taste for they feed usually upon
insects which they pursue on bushes and trees,
stealing toward them, or suddenly springing upon
them They climb like Jeckos and by the same
mechanism; the lower surface of the little discs is
endued with vscd secretion by means of which
they walk with the body suspended from the
under parts of the leaves and other smooth bodies.
The skin is mostly smooth upon the back, but on
the abdomen and inside of the legs is thickly
studded with small warts tubercles. They
possess to a remarkable degree the faculty of
changing color by the modification of the contents
of the pigment cells under the skin, no doubt
provision to enable them to elude their numerous
enemies. They are very clamorous, and partcu-
lary noisy at the approach of rain. In winter
they bury themselves in the earth, or in the de-
cayed wood and dust of old stumps They deposit
their eggs in the water in the spring The species
are numerous, especially in tropical America.

Out of the wreckage Mackin crept half dead.

The Rubber.

face of the earth some one has taken 1t into
his head to organize rubber combine and doesn't
go behind doors to do it either.
This is awful Think of it! rubber trust!

of rope; the combine will take the soothing nipple
off the baby's milk bottle and ruthessly yank the
rubber teething ring from between his little gums.

come extinct the dodo and the voice of the
mighty deep will be silenced by the sneezing of
the hardy mariner caused by influenza resulting
from the disappearance of the 'sou'wester" coat.
Life will be full of headaches owing to the
absence of the hot water bag, and the elimination
of the rubber band of commerce will boost the
red tape trust.
Rubber-tred vehicles will vanish and bald
headed men increase, owing to there being no
rubber combs to harrow their scaps with, and in
anything about rubber will have to go to Turk
ish bath and look one over.
That rubber dingus on the end of the lead
pencil with which used to our bad breaks

youth will be heard in the land lamenting for

Selah!
There will also be other thifgs; but enough
of horrors. We will give thanks that the trust
may lessen the number of rubber necks.

The common tree-frog of North America re-
sembes the tree-toad in form, but is more fiat
tened, body short and warty, the colors varying
at the will of the frog. The head is large and
round the mouth large with teeth on the upper
jaw and vomer; eyes large and brilliant, the iris
a bright golden. There are fingers and toes,
both ending in viscous pellets the former distinct
but the latter webbed. 1t is about two inches
long, and is found abundantly as far west the
Mississippi in decaying trees and about old fences
of wood or stone the color of which it nearly
resembles. 1t is very noisy in spring and

weather Its liquid, abruptly terminating note is
familiar to all residents of the country and travel
ers by the highway.
This species is replaced in the southern States
by green tree-frog-bright green above, yellow
ish white beow-wth straw colored lateral line
extending from the upper jaw over the shoulder
and along the side; it is shorter and more slender
than the northern species, and is most commonly
seen about broad leaved plants, especially Indian
corn and is about the same color of the leaves.
1t remains concealed during the day, but comes
out morning and evening, when it is very active
and noisy, it's single note very clear and bell like

A LITTLE
EXCITEMENT
Caused by Stranger with
Suspicious Disease.
WELL DEVELOPED
CASE OF SMALLPOX
Is Now Isolated on the Farm
of j. w. Boyett, Jr.,
Near Tannehill.

Some excitement was OCCASION
ed Wednesday morning when a
white man named Will Simmons
walked into town with a we'll de-
veloped case of small pox. A
few days ago Simmons had been
on the place of j. w. Boyett. Jr.,
near Tannehill, and walked across
the country from there to Cold
water.
Wednesday morning as Mr..
Boyett started to come to Winn-
field he met Simmons going to-
wards his place and saw that he
had the loathsome disease and
stopped him. telling him to come
back to Winfield and report to
the health authorities. Mr.. Boy
ett drove on to town and notified
Coroner Peters who had the man
intercepted at the corporation
limits. He said he had no rela-
tives and came to this place from
Franklin parish. He is acquaint-
ed with w. d. Boyett, who works
on j. w. Boyett's farm near
TanLehill and who has had small
pox.
Arrangements were made to
have the. sick man cared for on
Mr.. Boyett's place and he was
instructed to report there, nobody
caring to form the acquaintance
that would be necessary to carry
him out there. He said that he
went up to Coldwater and came
down on the Louisiana and Ar
kansas passenger train Tuesda.
evening and that nobody made
"roar" about bis having small
pox until he met Mr.. Boyet
Wednesday morning. His case i
we'll developed and he seems t.
hate been on the go for severa
days, consequently other case
may develop.
