Three Nature Stories.
n the Pittsburg Gazette-Times.

From the Pittsburg Gazette-Times.
 Washington county, Pennsylvania, as everyone knows. was named after the father of this country. But everyone do9s not know that the name was selected not because of the first Presidents g statesman ship, his patriotism or his military sd- reer. None of these appealed to the resi- dents of what is now Washington county so much as Georges reputation for verac- i:y. as based upon the cherry tree incl dent Washington countans deal in noth- ing but the frozen truth. and they are proud of their reputation and that of the man whose name they took.
 For these reasons the following trio of nature stories from Washington county will be of more than usual interest and defy attack by President Roosevelt or any other critic:
 While working in his barnyard yes terday Wash Judson playfully squirted tobacco juice on a tumble bug. The in- sect abandoned it's job of rolling Il ball about the premises and tried to serape of the tobacco juice by rubbing It's back against plantaln leaf. It shot n re vengerul glance at Judson and then re- tered to the shade of q hurdock leaf for deep meditation. When Wash awoke this morning he felt something sticking U his back On examination he found he had smashed small soggy ball of soft clay While trying to figure ont how t had found It's way to his bed he caught sight Of tumble bug, streaked with dried tobacco juice, scurrying across the floor in the direction of the door"
 "Elmer Crosby, Of East Pike Run township, is convinced that ducks lot only communicate hope anger. joy and other emotions by various sounds but that they express ideas by signs and symbols Crosby owns q large duck farm. and last week took forty ducklings from an incubator. He noticed today that one was missing. After a search he found II emerging from a small stream. Watching the duclSling, he saw 1t re)oln lis com uanions gain their attention by pc culiar 'auack' and then, holding up one foot. extend two toes. while the third was bent inward, like a closed finger. Amid the widest excitement the whole brood wadded to the stream for a swim

Loneliness of a Great City.

From the Fremont COhio) Post.
 If you live in a large city you are lost You are swallowed up by the ocean of people around you. You go
 down into the deep and that's the last
 of you, except perhaps an occasional
 bubble that may come to the surface near where you were last seen. There are so many people you cant escape drowning. You can't make friendsh ps az you do in a smaller place, where
 the individual isn't entirely eftaced by the mass. Society Is not what 1t is in the smaller place, where the human element enters in altogether. In the larger place your comings and goings are not noted by your friends even, and never by the newspapers unless you are one of the high hnanciers or packing house bunch. The births and weddings in your family are of no more interest outside your own flat than are the wreaths of smoke curling up into the empyrean; no merry crowd of in- terested neighbors with their warm congratulations The deaths bring lit- tie sympathy from the rbmbling. rat ting world outside; no sorrowing ac- qualntances who have stood by you through the long sickness; there Is little or none of that evidence of low ing kindness that comes from neigh bors and real friends in q small city or town, where the dollar mark is noG written so large and indelibly on everything. lt Is a paradoxical law that where there are SO many peoAe there are fewer friends, and when you diminish the number to frontier com munity where nelghbors are mics apart your friends are ready to take their lives in their hands for you.

From What to Eat.
 The inquiry for man named Wolf at the Palmer House, in Chicago, evoked such response that Manager Vierbuchen asserted "a gamy collection of travelling men" was present.
 Have you a gentleman here named Wolf-Leopold Wolff" the clerk was asked. Dave Lyon made the inquiry. He was answered in the affirmative and sent up his card
 Just tell him there is a Lyon after him." he said to the boy, with a laugh.
 And if 1t will help any said travel ing salesman standing near, tell him a Bear is after him also He then handed over his card bearing the nam Victor Bear New York
 While they laughed over the incident. John A Fox. of Cincinnati, secretary of the rivers and harbors congress, stepped up and said: And to make 1t a gamy bunch, put a Fox into the kettle.'
 Before the quartet stopped laughing John w. Fish, who had just registered from Atlanta, and Charles w. Hunter, from St. Louis, joined the group, the lat ter saying, q guess this will about finish the game" and invited hte gathering out to supper with him at the Jungles res tauranl

"Ter-days de Day CT de sackeyfce.'

 The August American Magazine con- tains the story of a wonderful negro, Big Frank" whose loyalty to his mas ter must surely stand as unsurpassed. In the course of the narrative the au- thor tells how Frank came to be mar ried. This particular event which is quite apart from the main story. hap pened in this way: "One morning before l was out of bed Frank came in and stood at the door, just inside. dropping his hat on the floor. At the instant of my turn ing to look at him l saw in his usually downcast eyes that look of utter trust, confidence and affection, the eyes of a faithful dog, "'Well, Frank

types of beauty. During the last four years that she has been on the stage she has been photographed ST times, but, un- fortunately for her-or fortunately, if you prefer it-this beauty Is the rival of her growing talent and Is thrown In her face almost like a reproaeh. It is related that one day on getting into an omnibus she found herself sitting beside phlegmatic American who had just come out of the theatre where he had seen her play, though he did not recognize her. She heard him say to her neighbor: tThere is a lovely woman at the Theatre Franeais called Robinne I would give a hundred dollars a word is she would only speak to me-
 Mile, Robinne turned to her neighbor and said: Monsieur will you please shut the window?" The phlegmatic American hastened to accede to her wish.
 And the charming young lady who knows bow to count to some purpose re- piled: "Monselur, you owe me three thou sand francs" The clever and beautiful actress as will be seen, is lacking neither in intelligence nor in quickness.

A Mark Twain Story.

From the Boston Post.
 Mark Twain once received a letter from his brother, who complained he was afflicted with a boil and the jump ing toothache at the same time and in- uured if he had ever heard of a worse combination.
 'No." wrote the sympathetic Mark, "and I can imagine only one that might be worse and that would be to have in- flammatory rheumatism and St. Vitus' dance at the same time.'
