Probably Removed Him.

Irving Grinnell, treasurer of the
Church Temperance Society OF New
York, told at temperance meeting a
dramtic story.
"a woman entered barroom,' he
said, "and advanced Quietly to her
husband, who sat drinking with three
other men.
"She placed a covered dish on the
table and said:
}'::'Thinlzin' ye'd be too~busy to come
home to supper, Jack. I've. fetched it
to you here Z W. W.: -
"And she departed:EEHS f*4*.
1.-THE man laughed awkwardly. He
invited his friends to Share the mel
with him. Then he removed the cover
from the dish. -
"The dish was empty. 1t contained
only a slip of paper that said:
"T hope you will enjoy your supper.
It is the same your wife and children
have at home.'"

Memory and Hearing Test.

Try this some evening when you
want a new way of entertaining your
friends. Give them paper and pencils.
Let some one play ~snatches of pieces
at the piano. There must be no pauses
between the different selections, and
a couple Of the most familiar lines
from each piece will be enough. Have
some hymns in the group, some patri-
otto songs, a little well-known as rag
time, and then something of higher
ORDER. like Lohengrins wedding
March," which every one will be sure
to recognize. Of course. the writing
must be done very promptly and no
time can be allowed for thinking. If
yankee Doodle" be played very, very
slow. but few people will be able to
name it. 1t will probably be classed
as a hymn.

Frous March to Winter Quarters.

For the first time in years the resi-
dents of Northern Chester county, Pa.
recently saw frog parade. Fully 100
frogs of all ages, ranging from frogs a
score of years old to last springs
youngsters, left the school house pond
in Warwick township and marched
along the road to- the falls. Of French
creek, where they took up their win
ter quarters.
Migrations of frogs in large bodies
are seldom seen, especially in this sea-
son of the year. It is believed by old
residents that the frogs deserted the
pond, which has been their breeding
place for years, because the water is
too low. =.

A Poor Excuse.

When President Hadley of Yale was
professor of political science there, a
student once offered him a poor ex-
cuse for a: bad examination paper.
Prof. Hadley listened to the excuse
in silence. Then he said, with grim
smile:
'"That excuse is about as poor as the
one criminal lawyer offered for his
client in a case that had gone hard
with him.
Gentlemen Of the jury cried this
lawyer, eloquently, remember that my
client is hard OF hearing, and that,
therefore, the voice of conscience APP
peals to him in vain.'"

Beavers Cause Enormous Loss

Unless action is taken to- curb the
increasing number of beavers in the
upper peninsula of Michigan, old
trappers claim that one of the great
est trout fishing fields in the United
States will be ruined. The work OF
the animals in damning the streams
has destroyed the spawning bed. and
it is almost impossible to catch a
trout now where few years ago
one could catch hundreds in few
hours. At the present time it is un-
lawful to kill beavers, and the animals
are increasing rapidly. Lumbermen
also are complaining of the destruc'
ton Of timber by the animals.

Snake on a Barn Roof.

George Duncan Of Thomaston. who
recently bought large farm here,
made surprising discovery while re-
pairing a large barn on the place.
While he and another man were work
ing on the roof they found a black
snake about four feet long stretched
out on the ridge board.
No one hereabouts is able to ex-
plain how the reptile could have got
there. Some of the neighbors think
it. might have been blown there by a
hi h wind when small, while others
think it was carried up with the
boards and timbers when the barn
was built forty years ago.
