Gle or the same day on which the Times

It was Mark Twain himself who con-

which he had first heard from a Califor-

IN lN92 certain Van Dyke, professor
OF Greek at Princeton, told Mark Twain
tE1t the frog story was related by 81

OF the Jumping frog of Calaveras coun-

tory would not now be complete with
out an answer to the several questions
with which the British Green profess or
closes his letter to the Chronicle:
T. Did Mark Twain humorously in

Twain?
j. If not, was he himself dcludcd?

Evidently it is not time to hear from
a certain Van DYKE of Princeton and
New York who is not likely to endure

MISPLACED SYMPATHY.
Persons Who Are Looked Upon As
flowers of Strength"

1t is Il good thing sometimes for IL
person to be looked upon as a tower of
strength" to feel that there are others
who rely upon him for advice and guild
ance. Such a condition increases his
self-contdence and sharpens his desire
to live up to the standards others have
unc"nsciously set for him. but, neverthe-
less, there are times when a knowledge
of this reliance and of the wholesale sym
patty which he is expected to dispense
makes his existence almost unbearable.
Does it never occur to those who forever
imagine that their load of troubles is
too heavy to bear alone. and who conse-
auently seek sympathy and counsel from
some friend whose we'll OF pity seems
inexhaus tible. that he 70 whom hey
turn may have sorrows of his own? In
deed, it is those who. have experienced
the deepest grief. and who have sound
ed distress to its hearts depths, who
make the best conlidants. The happy
joyous nature, while diffusing radiance
all its own and shining brighter for all
the dark places aroupd it, cannot be
expected to understand conditions which
] it has never shared. Like the butterfly
1t fits through the sunny paths of life
slipping only the sweets which lie in
wait. and like the butterfly happy only
in the present, for all too soon the Turk
ing shadows begin to lengthen and shut
out the sunshine all around. Not until
the bitter-sweets of life touch our lips,
and gradually We begin 10 learn some
thing of their meaning, are we in po-
sition to thoroughly understand and
s-mpathize with those who lay their
burdens in our hands.--Charleston
