PROOF POSITIVE OF MISTAKE
Frog Was There to Back Up Assertion
of Doctor

Many years ago DR.. Woodward,
founder of the Woodward institute at
Quincy, Mass, was much annoyed
by a wealthy maiden lady who
was very positive she had swal-
lowed a young frog and that
it was growing in her stomach.
After many attempts to disillusion
her, the doctor resorted to strata
gem. He procured a medium-sized
frog, and placing it in his pocket, Wis
tied the patient and Informed her that
he proposed to remove the frog. He
administered powerful emetic. He
then produced the frog, and she was
very happy, and kept the frog as a
souvenir.
In less than a week he had an ur-
gent call from the lady, who tearfully
informed him that the frog had left
one of it's family in her stomach He
took the frog, placed him on table,
and with his microscope examined
him long and attentively. At last,
with a sigh of relief, he exclaimed:
Madam, you are mistaken; the frog
is a he one."-Exchange

What Germany Covets.

Germany seems TO have taken note

pressed some dissatisfaction over the
omission of the question II has re
garded as very important. But the
German papers may not have taken
note of the fact that during the last
month our exports exceeded those
or the same month last year by some
S22 100000. The United tates IL doInp
about all the foreign business that
she could hope 10 do under the most
favorable conditions. What Germany
Is trying to do is to keep down heI
own imports and at the same time ex
tend her exports. Germany covets the
position in trade held by this country
and thinks In some way or other to
reach II through the tariff. But Ger.
many needs American agricultural
products. the hogs and the cattle OF
our farms. without them the German
industrial classes can not have meat

Mr. Watson. They do not love Mr..
Butler and besides, wasn't Mr.. Watson

him for Vice President that year? Of
course we did, and we cannot afford

THE CASE OF ABRAHAM RUFF.

The sudden ending of Abraham
Ruefs trial in San Francisco, pre-
cipitated by Ruef's plea of guilty, after
teaches a moral as simple as nur-
sery tale, and as old as civilization.
Ruef had sinned against fellow men
who had esteemed and honOred him.
Not only did his sins find him out, but
they crushed him on the return swing
of the pendulum. He had burdened
his conscience with wrongdoing until
it broke under the weight of accu-
mulated infamies, and forced him to
throw himself upon the mercy of out
ragged law.
Thus ends the career of a man who
might have been, with his talent, tact
aggressiveness and genius for organ
ization, a power for good in the world.
But power misused has left him a
moral and mental bankrupt physical
wreck, with spirit broken beyond the
hope of repair, and fit only for his
we'll deserved punishment.
The lesson of Ruef's experience
should sink deep into the natures of
men who play politics for moneys
sake. Public honor and public es-
TEEN are worth more in the long run
than all the fortunes accumulated by
all the grafters of the world. Ruef
realizes the truth of the saying now;
but he has learned the lesson only
after the law had demanded the sac
rifice of his freedom because of his
repeated offenses against the law.
Ruef's experience must ever be the
wrongdoer's, and his pitiable and al
most nauseating confession in court
is the confession which conscience,
wounded and sickened by long famil-
iarity with wrong, must ever exact
from men who offend against the prin-
ciples Of decency and right living

BRITISH CIVILIZATION IN INDIA.

The Mortified attention of the whole
world is likely soon to be centered
upon India, where steadily, week by
week, the plague spreads and the
death lists pile up.
In the last six weeks the record
ed deaths in all India from this ter
rible affliction have reached 451 900,
and if this ratio remain until the end
of the year the total will approximate
100000.
Plague began in India in 1897 with
