A Toad 1000 Years Old.

Director Hornaday of the New York
Geological Park has placed upon exhibit
ton a toad which he believes to be not
less than 1000 years old, it having been
found several months ago in a pocket Of
a block of Iimestonle in a silver mine at
Butte, Mont. 500 feet below the surface
of the mountain. When found the toad
appeared to be dead, but upon instruc-
lions from the operator. who knew Mr..
Hornaday, it was placed in a glass jar,
sealed up and sent to New York. There
an inspection revealed the truth that it
moved sluggishly, although the eyes had
long been useless and it had neither eaten
nor drunk for centuries. This appears TO
prove the old theory that toads can live
untold years in a state of suspended ami
nation The director believes that if he
should try to feed the creature it would
certainly die 1t is quite plump and
perfectly formed. nledium-siZed toad of the

~ to be under fire throughout the cam
paign it is entirely possible that he
may be wrought up to one of his char
acteristically blunt speeches.
For Democracy Bryan is bound to be
the big figure, whether he is the can
didate or not. No man matches him
in the popular kind of eloquence, and
his fine voice. handsome face and mag
netic bearing give him a phenomenal
power to sway audiences. If Bryan is
the nominee it is probable that the
country will be stirred by another
speechmaking tour similar to the men,
orable one of 1896.
And after the turmoil has subsidized,
and business, collecting its scattered
wits, gets together at the beginning Of
1909 to try to make up the ground lost

vocates for a bill introduced into Con-
