Strau Hats and Autos

"You might scarcely think" said Mr.. Mac
Blink, "that there was anything in common be-
tween straw hats and automobiles, but by that
way of thinking you'd be surely forgetting
their cost Of upkeep, in which respect they are
strikingy alike.
"They say it costs more to keep an automo-
bile than it does to buy one; precisely the
same is true of the straw hat You take my
own experience for an illustration.
early in the season I bought straw hat
for which paid 81. know a place where you
can get very good straw hat for that money,
and If it hadn't rained all summer should
have been on the straw hat account under no
additional expense.
"But 1t always does rain more or less.
just as it has done this summer and as is very
we'll known If drop of rain gets on straw
hat it is all up. Raindrops on a straw hat
will accumulate dust, and then you have to
have the hat cleaned, and that costs money; in
some places rs cents; in some 15
Il find by reference to my books that I
have paid out this summer in straw hat ac-
count for upkeep only $3.50, which is good
deal. While the automobile man has been
spending his money for gasoline and things
I have been blowing mine for hat cleaning and
1t has cost me more to keep that hat going
than it cost me originally.
"But in this find some slight satisfaction.
In this respect at least I find myself on the
same footing with the man who at the begin,
ming Of the season bought instead OF straw
hat an automobile"

Windhem who did not thoroughly accept the IN
depreciation were Colonels Dyer and Elderkin. In
few minutes the light Of the torches showed al
immense concourse of toads or frogs, whichever
they were, bearing down the main street OF the
town, croaking and "glucking' like a myriad OF
night demons. 1t suddenly struck the people tnat
if Judgment day at hand notwithstanding
the fact that Colonies Dyer and Elderkin seemed
to have been singled out by the visitors, the day
of accounting according to the Bible was an all
embracing affair." and thereat all the Windham
people started trembling violently.
There are living today a good many persons
who are direct descendants of the Colonel Elder
kin w.s>m the batrachians called to Judgment that
night IN Chicago until recently there lived
Mrs Charlotte Perkins Norris direct descend
ant of Colonel Elderkin. Mrs. Norris had heard
the story of the invasion of the village score of
times from the lips of her grandmother who as
a child taken time after time to see the place
from which the night disturbers came. To the
days Of their deaths Colonies Dyer and Elderkfn
were called Frog Dyer and Frog Elderkin, and
II local Connecticut authorities are to be believed,
there has not been seen from that day to this
either toad or frog in the meadow and pond
from which started that midnight migration.
To get away, for moment from frogs and
toads, and in order to lead back to them again,
let it be said that out in Utah the gull is care
fully protected bird. Olive Thorne Miller speaks
of them as great, beautiful snowy creatures who
look strangely out of place far from the aea
shore" l have been told that these gulls are
sacredly protected by the law and the people Of
the western state, and have also been told that
the early settlers the Mormons, believed that the
Lord has sent the birds to his chosen people.
1t is no wonder that It was believed the gulls
were specially sent. Clouds of grasshoppers had
destroyed the crops in that early day in many
of the western territories. They attacked Utah
by the million millions Then it was that the
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1910-10-07

crushed the creatures and so creased the rails
that progress was impossible for some time.
The passengers said that they could have
stood the situation more philosophically II the
blockaders had been frogs, for then the ques-
ton Of the food supply would have been
settled for lot Of hungry people. Frogs legs
make good eating
1t is not generally known, perhaps, to the
layman that toads, like frogs, lay their eggs
in the water. Countless millions of eggs will
be deposited in some morass. They hatch out.
the young get big enough, and migrate In
body to the dry land, sometimes going long
distances as an entity. These, it is said, are
the marching armies of toads which astonish
people and accounts Of which are spread
broadcast over the earth.

gulls appeared-birds never before seen In that
locality within the memory Of man. They came
In tremendous focks and devoured without
stopping the hosts Of the enemy, and they
completely saved the crops from destruction
Now the gulls follow the plains like chickens
and in Utah at least, it Is said that no one
has any desire to raise his hand against them.
What the gull was to Salt Lake region the
toad was to one section of a northwest Texas
county, some time ago. There was but COM
paratively small area of the county under cu-
tivation. but the growing things were threat
ened with destruction by a horde Of Rocky
Mountain locusts; then there appeared to the
astonished gaze of the resident Texans an
army Of toads, before which in numbers the
great army Of Xerxes was but as score.
These dismallooking, warty-backed Hop-o-my-
thumbs came along as on business bent They
said nothing and they ate grasshoppers. They
cleaned up utterly one entire flight of the crea-
lures. And they quietly sat under the cab
bage leaves and beet tops to wait for more.
They didn't come. The toads had saved the
crops, and it may be Judged that If one wants
to be certain to get In a quarrel he can get it
If he will go that section Of Texas and ma
lign toad.
Should anyone ,e inclined to doubt the in
sect-eating capabilities Of a common everyday
American toad, let him listen to the evidence
Of an experimenter, who is at once scientist
and clergyman the one fact establishing his
accuracy and the other his veracity. This
theologue-naturalist, as the record shows.
found toad in his garden and proceeded to
make pet Of II. He went to call on master
toad one morning about ten o'clock and with
out knowing how many insects already had
fallen before the toad's darling tongue, pro-
ceeded to feed him on plant pests. The toad
ate readily and greedily twenty-three large
squash bugs which were offered him. and then
looked up inquiringly for more.
The squash bug larder was depleted, SO the
clergyman turned his attention to caterpillars.
OF these hairy repulsive creatures the toad
ate ninety-four. SO the story record goes. and
then he shut down to hop heavily of to
shady corner to take that rest which it is
said aids animal digestion.
Now this same experimenter tells tales of
toads which might appear a bit overdrawn

mtention SO TO do, they have inaugurated veri-
table reigns Of terror.
Years ago, in the little Puritan settlement
Of Windham. Conn. out Of which sprang as
many notable American families, perhaps, as
have come from any other colonial hamlet a
migration of toads led the people to believe
that the tocsin of the last day had been sound
ed. and they were all summoned, sinners and
sinless, to answer at the bar of judgment Ira
dition says that the migration which brought
this fear upon the people was one Of the frogs.
Scientists of today lean rather to the toad
theory. but 1t made little difference to the
frightened populace which species Of batra-
chan brother it was that brought horror into
their midst.
Now it happened that there lived in Wind
ham two colonial colonies, big men and digni-
fed, by names Dyer and Elderkin. 1t may do
no harm at this late day to say that both these
military titled gentlemen were more fond OF
good living. so the story goes, than was per-
haps exactly consistent with the strictest Pur-
itan thoughts. Some of the elders of the place,
It is said, looked bit askance at some of the
views of Colonies Dyer and Elderkin. There
were slaves in that day in Connecticut and
Windham held its share.
One peaceful night in May the Windham
families retired at their usual hour, not long
after candle light" At midnight they were
wrapped in the profoundest slumber, but no
sleep however sound could withstand the roar
that broke upon that peaceful hamlet in the
watches of the night There were blended the
noises of million Threats. 1t was CULTURAL
harsh and horrible, and 1t came out of the
lefty blackness of midnight. The people Of
Windham jumped from their beds panic strick-
en- threw on what clothes they could, and
rushed outdoors, many bearing pine torches,
which ate little light holes in the inky black
ness.
The slaves were Frustrated with fear and
