FROG, TURTLE AND TERRAPIN
Demand for These Delicacies Growing
Stronger in All Eastern Markets
Bring Fancy Prices.

(BY w. d. NEALE. ELSBERRY, MOI
The demand for frogs. turtles and
terrapins is growing stronger in the
eastern cities OF the United States.
Quite a good deal OF money is being
made by those who. have undertaken
to supply these markets.
The state of Missouri alone shipped
S445,99S worth to eastern buyers last
year.
This state holds first rank as a pro-
Gucer of frogs. and none other ships
SO many to the east
The flesh of the frog is white and
tender and to many people It is more
toothsome than that of fish. Their
skins are also valuable, as they are
used for making fancy purses and
other leather novelties. The Missouri
turtle has become famous for its ten.
derness and dellcacy. Many of the
streams in Missouri abound with them
and 1t is said when they are shipped
to the cities they often become the
basis OF many green turtle soups.
Most of the terrapins exported from
Missouri are products of Dunklin,
Pemiscot and New Madrid counties.
There is a great area OF swampy land
in these countries. and here the ter
rapins grows and multiply very rap
idly.
They always meet with ready sales
on the market, and bring fancy prices
In New York. Boston and other large
eastern cities. Many claim that when
Missouri terrapin is properly prepared
he is as delicious as the salt water
variety.

When Evalina had cleared away the
supper things and Aunt Harriet had
been tucked under the covers Evalina
sat a long time over her own meal
with soft brown eyes dreamily fixed on
the glowing square of the stove door.
Every day thereafter the strange
man called at Evalina's house and
bought some product Of her baking.
One day several weeks after the
strangers first visit Aunt Harriet was
left alone in the house while Evalina
went TO n nearby town to order sup
plies. Late In the afternoon there
came Il knock ut the sitting room door.

again: "Evalina's gone to the store.

Illinois Is Growing,

Illinois, as was shown by Official
figures appearing in The Argus this
week, retains its standing as third
in the galaxy of states but may be
threatened 10 years hence by Texas,
whose great area and genial climate
have resulted in an almost magic
growth. The population of Illinois
during the last 10 years has increas-
ed d fraction less than II per cent.
During the previous decade it was
! g. pei cent The increase in Hi
nois shows a higher percentage than
any other state of the middle west.
There are 1912 counties in Illinois
and just half of them have either
fallen off slightly or remained at a
standstill. The greatest falling off
is in Pike county, which has a pop
ulation 2,972 less than ] o years ago.
Adams. Brown, McDonough, Han
cock. Schuyler and other counties
forming a group in the west central
part of the state all show a slight
falling off, due largely to the rush
to the larger cities on the part of
the young men and to cheaper lands
in the north and south on the part
Of the old.
The greatest gain is of course in
Chicago, but substantial gains are
also shown in Rock Island, st. Clair,
Madison. Kane. Sangamon and Win
nebago counties.

And little wonder is it that the grand
opera star is indignant. She became
so excessively artistic in her sugges-
tive near-nude writings that Chief of
Police Steward, who was called to pass
police opinion upon the dance, ex-
claimed: 1T was disgusting. Miss
Garden wallowed around like a cat in
a bed of catnip," and it was significant
ly suggested by another that If the
wriggle had been exhibited in Halsted
street it would have been stopped by
the police the first night.
AS it requires deep and mysterious
artistic sense to see such an exhibition
in the same light as Miss Gardens de-
tenders, who know only the artistic,
and who rave over her superb inter
probation of Salome, and as most crit
les would share the non-temperament-
al catnip criticism, we refrain as
tempted from voicing too vociferous
an amen" to the comment of the chief
for fear we may offend art.
However, when an exhibition is of
such character that the police uneQuiv-
ocally declare it indecent and the high
er critic characterizes it as beautifully
bestial, 1t ought to be suppressed for
the public good

Tariff Forecasts.

Talk of tariff action by the next
congress is interesting particularly
when it comes from Representative
Champ Clark, who will probably be
the speaker. and from Representa-
tive Oscar Underwood of Alabama,
who will probably be floor leader
Of the majority. Both gentlemen
are in favor of taking up the sub
ject at once, without waiting for a
democratic senate and president.
But the possibility of getting any
thing done before 1912 depends,
after all. says Harper's Weekly, up
on the disposition OF the senate and
of President Taft. 1t is quite likely
that there will be in the senate
enough insurgents to make ma
jority, with the democrats, for GER
tain reductions of duties, and it is
not improbable that President Taft
will approve any reductions which
the tariff commission may have pre-
viously recommended.
1t is clear, however, that whatever
may be accomplished before 1913
must be accomplished on the piece
meal plan. We confess that we do
not find this thing to grieve over.
Until we get a line on the quality
of the new congress we shall be quite
content with a situation which
shuts of entirely the temptation to
that always arises when
a general revision of the tariff is
attempted. In fact, we should be
highly pleased if, even in case of a
democratic victory in 1912, the
piecemeal plan should still be adj
hered to.

Such Is Fame,

The circumstances of the funeral
of the late John G. Carlisle were
suggestive of the fleeting character
of fame. Carlisle but a few years
ago was Kentucky's most famous
son then living and one of the best
known men, by reputation, in the
country. He was one of the most
prominent leaders of the democratic
party. A member of congress,
speaker of the house, United
States senator, secretary of the
treasury under President Cleveland,
he was for years constantly before
the people, his words and acts be-
ing a matter of daily comment by
the press.
So great were his prominence and
his services to his party and to the
nation. that he was spoken of as the
democratic candidate for the presi-
dency and at one time his nominal
ton for this high Office seemed not
improbable.
Yet when the body of this once
great American statesman was TAX
en- to Covington, Ky, for burial,
there was no committee, no delega-
ton. no personal friend even, to re-
ceive il. The remains were put in
an express wagon and taken to an
undertaker's establishment. and but
for the kindness of some persons in
Covington who, though they did not
know Carlisle personally, knew of
him. the body would have filled
pauper's grave. A few individuals
took up a collection and saved the
remains of the statesman of the Blue
Grass state from being taken TO the
potter's field.
In so short time John G. Car
Isle was forgotten or remembered
no longer with interest or apprecia-
ton of his public services. To the
mass of the American people he
hardly remains memory. Probably
comparatively few persons of this
generation could designate the pO-
sitions he occupied or the leading
events of his life.
And this is fame.
Those who. without prominence
and without having done anything to
merit notice, are yet constantly
striving to keep themselves in the
limelight. should pause q moment
and consider whether their energies
are worth the while.
The world is cold and soon for
