benefit may come to the people of the United
States by the study of the habits of a particu-
lar animal, that animal is studied forthwith
and studied carefully.
In. folk lore history and in the history of To-
calities which hardly can be classed as folk
lore, the frog and the toad frequently have
been confused; sometimes stories have been
told of frog visitations and it has turned out
that the invading army was composed of toads.
The reverse of the statement also has been
found to be true on several occasions.
Some years ago an army of track-hopping
tramp toads took possession Of the gravel road
bed of the Sioux City and Pacific railway, and
in unbroken column miles in length, as the
local story had it, the toads marched past the
town Of Blencoe, Iowa. 1t is stated that there
were so many millions in this mighty army
that nothing like an accurate estimate of the
toads could be made. The ground was said
to be brown with the color of its v~isitants,
If there was such an army of the batra-
chians as it is said there was it would be no
wonder if the residents Of the infested district
might have feared that the toads would divert
their course from the railroad into the towns,
to repeat Pharaoh's plague of the frogs, when
the rivers brought forth frogs abundantly,
which went up into the houses, and into the
bed chambers, and even upon the beds, and
upon the people, and even into the ovens and

CONSIDERATIONS MAY UNITE
Federal" and Estate" Wings Want to
Get Together.
Washington, D. c. - A plan is be-

ing considered by the National Con-
servation association, of which Clifford
Pinchot is president, to bring together
the advocates of federal regulation of
waterpower sites and those who stand
for state control, according to an an
nouncement made by the executive
committee of the association. The OBJ
ject of the plan, which was drafted by
Philip P. Wells, former law officer Of
the Forest Service, is to adopt "a wa
terpower platform on which both sides
of the waterpower controversy may
unite to protect the public interest and
at the same time encourage the de-
velopment of the many millions of
horsepower now going to waste in the
mountain streams of the Far West and
the great rivers of the central and
eastern parts of the country"
The basis of the plan is develop
ment without delay, waste or the
sacrifice of other and higher uses of
flowing waters"

HOUSE INSURGENTS ONLY ONES
WHO FAVOR SCHEDULE BY
SCHEDULE PLAN.
PREFER A GENERAL REVISION
Situation Disclosed During Discussion
OF CUMMING Rules Program
Clapp for Permanent
Commission.

washington, D. G. President
Taft't suggestion, which has the in
dorsement of the tariff board, for
changes in the tariff law schedule by
schedule, already has received sharp
knock from influential leaders in con-
gress.
A local newspaper here that is
known to be in close touch with the
insurgents who want the tariff re-
v1sed schedule at a time announced
that nobody in the senate and few
IN the house except the little group
OF insurgent Republicans want the
tariff law attacked in that way. The
situation disclosed is that both Re-
publicans and Democrats, at least a
majority of them, do not favor this
way of approaching changes in the
tariff law.
The condition was disclosed, it ap-
pears. during the discussion of the
changes in the rules as proposed by
Senator Cummins Of Iowa. The ultra
protection Republicans are opposed to
the plan, as was indicated by the fact
that Senator Hale antagonized 1t when
offered.
Senator Cummins renewed his ef-
forts by filing the necessary notice
to the committee on rules. On Mon
day he will reintroduce the resolution
and thus start the fight for a revi-
sion along the proposed new lines.
The report was that expressions by
a number of prominent Democratic
senators are antagonistic to the Cum
minis measure. One of the prominent
and influential Southern senators said:
II have heard no Democrat speak in
favor Of the resolution. I have heard
several speak against it. For myself
am opposed to it. I object to sin
Cling out and throwing a sort of a
mantle Of secretiveness about the
Payne-Aldrich tariff law.
Il don't fancy the idea of putting
that statute upon a pedestal and re.
quiring that special rules shall be
made with it,"
The insurgent Republicans are not
surprised at discovering that they will
have no support from either regular
Republicans or regular Democrats. It
is expected that few of the more
Independent Democrats will support
the resolution, among whom Gore and
Owen of Oklahoma, Chamberlain of
Oregon and Shively of Indiana are
mentioned.
In speaking of the tariff situation
Senator Clapp of Minnesota said that
the particular thing in which he is in
terested so far as general legislation
is concerned for this short session
is the creation of fullfledged perma-
nent tariff commission to take the
place of President Taft's tariff board,
which is dependent on annual appro-
priations by congress to keep it alive.
senator Clapp said he had no partic-
ular tariff commission plan in mind,
but he expects to support the Bever-
ldge bill or some modification thereof.

175,8o6.-Rest Of State Shows
Increase Of 14e,449
Inhabitants.
SOME OTHER sTATES

Washington, D. c. - The popula-
ton of the state of Minnesota is 2,075.-
708, according to the thirteenth federal
census figures. This is an increase
OF 1924, 314, or 1875 per cent, over 1,751,-
1874 in 1900. The increase from 1890
to 1900 was 1860.
The returns place the state of Min
nesota In the two million class. The
major part Of the gain is credited to
the three largest cities-Minneapolis,
st. Paul and Duluth-but the rural
communities show a growth that Is
more than merely healthy.
An Increase of more than 100, 900 Is
shown for the farms and the small
towns OF tn, state and this immense
army OF workers is increasing every
day. While the population of the
three large cities had prepared the
average Minnesotan for a large state
increase, it was not hoped by any but
the most optimistic that it would be
more than 100000.
Older States Are Beaten.
Older and larger states that showed
indications of great progress have
been left behind in the struggle for
supremacy in population and few
states in the union show as large an
increase, and still fewer showed a
larger percentage gain.
The steady stream of sturdy farm
ers from the ole countries, the equally
steady stream of skilled workers and
mechanics and the flow of wealth to
Minnesota has been continuing for
years. Its wealth, climate and prom
ises of bounteous crops have brought
new citizens to Minnesota from all
over the world.
Nearly every county in the state
shows gains and some of them have
almost doubled since 1900. Those
counties containing the cities show
an especially large increase. In 1880.
only 30 years ago, when the first fed.
eral census was taken in the state.

grounds Of her Chestnut Hill home.
It is believed her drive of Thursday
might have aggravated the cold she
caught little over week ago. The
extent to which Mrs. Eddy had car
ried her idea Of personal suppression
in regard to the Christian Science
church is shown in the fact that she
was never inside the new Christian
Science church on Falmouth street
In this city. It is also probable that
she never saw the edif1ce.

were devoted students, realized just
when death had come, it was believed

body In a spiritual communing with
God, fighting against death according
to the principles which she had her
self set forth in the Bible Of the
Christian Science religion, her book,

Scriptures"
Those surrounding her themselves
prayed increasingly. Mrs. Eddy left
no final message, due, it is said, to
her last efforts in following out her
own doctrine.
