French Sport.

Charles M. Schwab was talking
about sport.
The French" he said, with a laugh,
"are the great sportsmen. l. sport
hat is their alteration.
I'll never forget how / watched,
one whole afternoon, from the Casino
terrace Of Monte Carlo, a couple of
Frenchmen in a a shooting seagulls.
The blue Mediterranean vas dotted
with the beautiful white dead birds.
They were, Of course, no use TO any
body.
IT know a man who Joined a great
crowd about a sewer grating in the
Rue st. Honore, in Paris.
AN excited Frenchman was fishing
through the grating. He lowered a
strong hook baited with meat. and ev-
cry three or four mute he brought
w squealing and ~wriggling, a fat rat.
Soon he had 30 or 40 rats lying at his
feet.
1.-THE crowd was beside itself with
the excellence Of this sport.
"'Splendide!' 1t shouted, at each
fresh catch. 'Supsrbe!' 'Magnifique!'
""Then the gendarmes came and ar
rested the rat fisher. The crowd
writhed with Indignation. 1t followed
the prisoner to the ~gendarmie. 1t

About the New Orange Cucumber.


A fruit that Is half orange and half GU
is the remarkable product of three
years of careful experimenting by a young
Massachusetts horticulturist, Howard s..
Hill, of Gardner. He began by mixing
the male pollen OF the orange with the
female pollen OF the cucumber.
A strange looking product was the re-
suit. The color and shape are nearly that
of an orange. The skin is smooth Exc the
cucumber. The vine on which the fruit
grows Is but little changed from that Of
the cucumber. The taste of the o~range-cu-
is more acid, and a little more at
tractive than that of the cucumber. Last
year Mr.. Hill mixed the male orange pol
len with the female pollen of the orange
cucumber. The result was a more marked
orange sort Of a cucumber.
Last fall he mixed rs before and the
orange size and shape, the naval being dis
tinct and full of seeds. The section marks
Of the orange show through the skin, but
when the product is sliced into sections,
do not exist within. the texture and COM
position are still the cucumber, though
the substance is softer, the inner seeds
smaller, and to the taste slightly sweet,
but exceedingly agreeable.

Raw Eczema ON Hands.

IT had eczema on my hands for ten
fears. / had three good doctors but
none of them did any good. ! then
used one box of Cuticura Ointment
and three bottles of Cuticura Resolvent
and was completely cured. My hands
were raw all over, inside and out, and
the eczema was spreading all over my
body and limbs. Before ! had used
one bottle, together with the Cuticura
Ointment, my sores were nearly
healed over, and by the time ] had
used the third bottle, l was entirely
well. To any one who has any skin
or blood disease I would honestly ad-
wise them to fool with nothing else,
but to get Cuticura and get well. My
hands have never given me the least
bit of trouble up to now
my daughters hands this summer
became perfectly raw with eczema.
She could get nothing that would do
them any good until she tried Cuti-
cura. She used Cuticura Resolvent
and Cuticura Ointment and in two
weeks they were entirely cured. l
have used Cuticura for other members
of my family and it always proved sue.

GOOD. NIGHT STORIES
FRoovILLE.
By Farmer Smith.

Ht FnO0vIIIG @
Daddy said little Ethel one night,
Il think 1t Is about time We heard
something about frogs"
Then l will tell o about Mr.. and
Mrs. Frog and their two children. Jack
and Jill. They-lived in Frogville in the
summer time and In the winter they
went to sleep or made themselves a
home near some hot water pipe.
Listen very carefully and as the
story goes along you may be able to
hear frogs croaking, although they are
far away; and you may see them al
though IT Is dark.
mis-. Frog was sitting on a large
hickory log with her eyes shut and her
mouth open, waiting for some nice,
large fly to come along and walk In.
Jack and Jill were asleep under the
log when Mr.. Frog came along.
with one big jump he landed beside
his good wife and said. Maria, 1t seems
to me we are wasting time with u
music. I canno sing tenor and you
cannot sing alto. Now. suppose we ask
Mr.. and Mrs. Treetoad to come over
tonight and help us out after we have
put the children to bed"
THAT would be a good scheme,
joshua said his wife.
1--WE certainly would rave some har-
mony Many is the time I have heard
Mr.. and Mrs. Treetoad singing. n the
four of US would make a good deal or
music"
":Jug-er-upm. jug-er-upm, I am just
clearing my throat said Mr.. Frog.
But what Is that noise"
Sure enough. some one was coming,
and Mrs. Frog woke the babies up in a
hurry and all four splashed in the wa
ter, her PUNK! And soon they were
lost in the moss at the bottom of the
brook.
NOW said Mr.. Frog. let's have a
little nap here so hat we can sit up a
bit tonight when Mr.. and Mrs. Tree
toad come.
THAT was a narrow escape we had.
/ am glad / heard that small boy with
a gun before he saw u.s.
"Mr. Frog peeked out at the bank
once more, and then they all went to

one night.

You see, IL there was anything
Willie Treetoad liked to do IL was to
60 to sleep at the foot of the weeping
willow tree beside the brook, away
from the two Frogs. Jack n Jill
used to go over there when he was
fast asleep and tie his legs together.
Then they would run away. When
Willie woke up he would find that he
could not move his legs, and then he
would begin s~quealing until his father
or mother came to set him free.
The funny part Of 1t was Willie Tree
toad could climb a tree and the Frogs
could not.
zone day they came over to see
where Willie was, and they could not
find him He had never told them that
he could climb a tree"
How did the Treetoad climb the
tree 2" asked little Ethel.
The Treetoad. my dear" her father
explained, has little suckers on the
when you put a glass over your mouth
and suck all the air out of the glass
and 1t sticks to you mouth without
holding it. The Treetoads climb trees,
but Frogs cannot
1.-The day that the Frogs were looking
for Willie he had climbed the weeping
willow tree and crawled out on a limb
just even with the edge of the water,
for he knew that Jack n Jill Frog
would sit on the edge of the bank
waiting for him. He carried with him
a lot of fine stones. Pretty soon he
saw the Frogs coming, and he waited
until they were seated comfortably
on the bank, and then he dropped a
pebble in the water in front of them.
1t frightened them so they jumped into
the water. and did not come out for
some time. When they did they went
to sleep OH the bank, and every time
they went fast asleep Willie Treetoad
dropped a stone in front of them and
the splash woke them up.
After a while they got tired and
went home, m just as they got home
they heard Willie s%quealing.
1T sounds to me as IL he was up
that tree said Jack. 1t does to me,

"Third" the Most Probable.
From the Washington Star.

Harrington Putnam, Judge Gaynor's
successor on the New York bench, is
noted for his logical mind.
Once, at a dinner at Red Lodge. his
country house near Denning, Mr.. Put
nam gave an admirable instance Of this
mental quality. The conversation had
turned to non-marrying widows, and
Mr.. Putnam disposed Of the question
thus.
she will not marry again on n condi-
ton, it may be, first, her husband was
SO good that she could never car for
another man again; or 1t may be, Sec
ond, that her experience in married life
was such as to make her desire no nor
of it: or 1t may be, third, that she is
telling a f~alsehood."

He Secured a Good Hnlf-Section In
Central Canada.
1t is not only from Kentucky. but
from thirty-five to forty different
states that there comes the expression
Of satisfaction from those who have
taken up lands in Central Canada as
a free homestead or have purchased
lands.
Mr.. r. K. Bell, of Frankfort, Ken
lucky, writes to a Canadian govern
ment official, and says: II have just
returned from Alberta, overjoyed with
my trip. Your literature was very
fiattering, bat not half what l found
1t. / bought a half section between
Calgary and Edmonton, n mile from
railroad, near a good town. This is the
best country l eve saw or ever expect
to see. l will go in the spring and
get to work on my place. think 1t
is the coming country Of the world"
Some of the papers describe the set
Ting of the Canadian West as "becom-
ing a fever with a great many people.
The lure Of Its golden promises Is
creeping into their hearts and many
are they who are answering the call
of that unsettled territory" This
paper editorially cautions its readers
to exercise care and thought before
moving to a distant couIS.ry. This
would be a wise %precaution, and is ex.
actly what the Canadian officials ask.
The success of the settler who has
made Canada his home for years is
the best evidence that can be offered.
And of the large number of Ameri-
cans who have made their homes In
Canada, very few have returned. All
are satisfied.

THE full moon vas rising out Of
the east when they started to sing.
Willie Treetoad came first, for his
mother wanted to keep him away from
the Frog boys. Then came Mr.. Tree
toad, who sang tenor; then Mrs. Frog,
singing soprano; then Mrs. Treetoad
and Mr.. Frog ON the end, singing bass.
Next to him were the two boys, and he
had all he could do to keep them from
teasing Willie Treetoad.
"They san and sang, until all the

them. and when they finished Willie
