NO One Ever Heard Of a Detective

Sunny thing. but can you remem'

detective speaking. "Of course you
haven't, and yet they are in line or

al the Secret Service men stand

"They are told he has gone on

How the FROG Changes Color.


The chameleon changes his hue

ago who could venture to point out
all the molecular and ethereal vibra-
tions whereby the chain Of action is
made complete between external en-
vironment and peripheral tissue

!Dignentary changes by virtue OF
which the frog harmonizes itself more
.or less with the color Of its environ
ment are governed by two sorts OF
nerves. 1t results from the action OF
two refiexes. both originating in the
Tetina: and by his investigations he is
liable to map out the paths from the
gbrain to the periphery by each OF the
1refleIes. Now let US picture to our
selves the delicacy Of this process.

Then He Hurried Up,

He was too modest to be a>success-
ful lover, and he had let forty years
of his life go by without ever coming
to an emotional point.
He was in love with a fair being OF
suitable age. but he would not tell her
so, and though she knew it she could
not very we'll give him hint on the
situation.
She was willing because she had
arrived al that time of life when a
woman Is not nearly so hard to please
as she might have been at some other
time: but he was stupid, and went
away without word.
He was gone long. long time. and
when he came back he found her still
ready.

years." he said to her. as he took her
hand in greeting.
She had learned something in the
years since she had seen him last.

covs in The Streets Of Munich.

About one.half the draught animals
in Munich are COWS. It is one Of the
connecting links with the old life,
when all were COWS. These interest
Ing and sedate animals have fondness
for lying in the streets, chewing their
cuds when not engaged in the hauling
business, which is constant source
of annoyance, because it disturbs traf-
fe: Electric cars are new to Munich,
and the inhabitants are very proud OF
tLem and of Munichs rise to the posi-
rion of a great capital Of the world,
as they delight to call her. Hence In
reference with traffic is the unpar-
donable sin. 1t is one OF the city's
most interesting sights to see mobs OF
yociferous men getting. cows off the
track. Only then does one understand
the possibilities of the German tongue.
It is interesting to observe the horses
also. They eat slices Of black rye
bread for luncheon, and are usually
hltched to one side of single wagon
pole when in harness. If there be
shafts, they also are lopsided, way
back country fashion, even II the We.
hicle be a carriage.

WARNING TO THE PUBLIC.
The Appleton Family Adopted enc
EIeteher Method Of Chewing.

Tho Appleton Family Adopted sho
Fletcher Method Of Chewing.
II any member Of the Lysander John
Appleton family invites you to q meai'
here's a pointer: Don't accept. The
Appletons are adopting the Fletcher
method Of chewing their food, ana ia
order not to make any mistakes they
count as they chew. This is sample
OF the conversation heard at the Ap'
pleton table: "Have you heard" asks
Mrs. Appleton, putting a piece Oh
bread in her mouth, "that-one, two'
three. four, five, six" Counting her
chews)-"a widow on North Fourth
street-seven, eight, nine, ten-is 10

and takes q bite of meat. Il guess it Is
really-one, two, three, four, Eve, SIX
seven, eight, nine, ten. eleven, Twelve
so. Her mother-thirteen, fourteen
told me so." The bite goes down
and the visitor takes long breath.
The guest hears 80 much counting IN
the next hour that he doesn't know II
he is at dinner or in kindergarten.
Moreover, under Fletcherism the APP
pletons don't set as good a table as
formerly. Their girl refused to wait
two hours at every meal while they
counted their chews. and quit. and
Mrs. Appleton takes so much time IN
chewing that she has little time left
for cooking.
