comrade who claims for Blair Post, of
West Virginia, the distinction of mem
ber that served three years in the army
and never fired a gun is not in it with
Watrous Post and Bartlett Post, of

er belonged to the army at all, and had
held number of positions of trust in
the city on his comradeship, and every
thing ran so smoothly that he even had
the cheek some time ago to apply for
pension. when he was found out, as
the Pension Department could not find
any record of his services. The De-
partment sent a special examiner to
trace him out, and he finally owned up
that he bought the discharge, and now
the Posts are taking measures to blot
his name from their books.

HOW THE SNAKE WAS FOOLED

The unaccountable loss of a newly
acquired rubber frog several days ago
in park at Youngstown, o., caused
its owner. little girl. to be inconsol-
able. The toy disappeared and search
as she might for the frog, the child's
nurse was unable to find it. 1t was
believed the frog. a bright new and
natural looking product, had been
stolen.
The mysterious disappearance has
been explained. A black snake was
found by caretaker dead in the grass
,in the park the other day Its body
was unnaturally distended and he de-
cided to investigate. The post norton
disclosed the fact that the snake had
swallowed the=rubber frog. The make
up of the frog was so lifelike the
snake was fooled into grabbing it as
it lay in the grass, and having gulped
it down the reptile could neither dis
gorge it nor digest it.

GREAT STRENGTH or sNAILS

Some statistical person has said
that were human being to be, rela-
lively, possessed of the strength of a
snail he would be able to carry st.
Pauls Cathedral, fguratively speaking
in his waistcoat pocket. This is as 1t
may be, but certainly snails do not
merit the contempt and derision that
is poured upon them. Their strength
Is incredible.
By way of experiment, two common
garden snails were harnessed to a
leaden toy gun-carriage by means of q
piece of thin tape. The load was
moved SO easily that the gun-carriage
was filled with shot. 1t, however,
gave no trouble to the strange steeds,
and even when a heavy brass cannon
was hooked on, they moved with ease.
The total weight of gun-carriage, can
non, and shot was fifteen ounces.
Readers might try a similar expert
ment for themselves, though they
must be patient, for snails have an
unpleasant habit Of withdrawing into
their shells when work is required of
them. Care should also be taken that
the traces attached to the snails do
not impede their progress.

as a common thief and swindler, that

North Carolina and he made such a

ever being paid for the work of en-
balming him, had glass cover made
for the coffin and exhibited Lascelles
throughout the United States as an
advertisement. Judge Jones, the law

the cremation, averred that the body
of Lascelles was the most natural
eight-year-old corpse it had ever been
his pleasure to look upon. 1T may be
rather stretching the CASE he con-

as an advertisement 1t was kept in
