A Primitive View of the Bullfrog.

A Primitive View Of the Bullfrog.
The frogs in America. it must here
be observed. make a most singular
noise. some of them being absolutely
whistling, while others croak so loud
~ that it is difficult at times to tell
whether the sound proceeds from a
calf or frog. l have more than once
been deceived by the noise when walA:
ing in meadow. These last frogs ars
called bullfrogs. They mostly keep In
pairs and are never found but where
there is good water. Their bodies are
from four to seven inches long. and
their legs are in proportion. They are
extremely active and take prodigious
leaps.-From an Old Book Of Travels.

Coles Radiant Heater

is the first perfect combination stove made giving
the user stove which can be converted into sue
cessful soft coal CT wood burner by removing the
magazine which can be done by removing three
bolts. This feature is most appreciated by the user
who wishes to burn soft coal, wood, corn cobs
other light fuels, when it is impossible to get hard
coal or when all day and not required
The inside construction is scientifically correct
for burning hard COAL Hard coal burns best in a
straight up and down fire pot, it feeds better.
Hard coal does not swell while burning soft
coal does, therefore does not require tapered
fire pot The fire pot is heavy to insure durabil-
ty. It is made having teeth the bottom to
allow air to enter the fuel at the side well
up through the CRATES. This insures more equal
fire bed, and cleaner combustion of the fuel.

ONLY SIX TOWNSHIPS
Supervisors Elected To Serve Two
Years, And Must Do ALI Road
Work In Sixty Days
Time.

Last Saturday was the day set for
election Of Road Supervisors, and
we give below list OF the men
chosen for the Office in the several
districts in the townships Of Mar
shall county.
No idea of politics enters into the
election of supervisor. The polls
are opened from one to three o'clock
and each voter is given a blank bal
lot on which he writes the name of
his candidate. In many places the
interest is slight. Few men really
want the office, as he is paid but
$500 a day, and can only work sixty
days in a year. The whole system
of working roads as now conducted
is a farce. The work is done when
farmers are not busy with other
FORK, and each is allowed to do as
ne wishes, and when he wishes. Of
course this is not given out as the
rule to go by, but the men are all
neighbors, and no supervisor can af-
ford to get the i'll will Of his neigh
bors for all there, is in the Office,
especially when cash bond of
5000 is required. It is we'll known
by farmers as well as others that
good roads cannot be made on coun-
try highways late in the fall. Yet
much of the work is done at that
season, because farmers have the
time to do it then, and are busy at
other seasons.
Men are just the same in the coun-
try as in the town. When man is
"warned out' to work the roads in
town, if he goes himself he goes In
tending to do as little as possible,
and put in his time. If be ."sends

who cannot get another job, and is

give poor days work. Another
thing is, the street superintendent,

ing good work and giving satisfac-
ton. He is helpless, and just has
to get along the best he can, with
the poorest kind of a chance tc

u. S. Supreme Court Says Full
Crew Law For Trains Is Sound
and May Stand.

The Indiana full train crew law
was held constitutional by the Unit
ed State supreme court late Friday
within ten minutes after the case
was called. Chief White announced
that the courts decision in the
Arkansas case also establishes the
validity Of the Indiana law, S. 0.
Pickens. of Indianapolis. attorney
for the Pennsylvania railroad, had
only fairly begun to attack the In
diana law when the chief justice in
terrupted him to inquire wherein the
Indiana case differed from the Ar
kansas full crew case that was de-
cided against the railroads several
months ago.
Mr.. Pickens explained that in the
Indiana case a mail train was involv-
ed. whereas in the Arkansas case a
freight train was the point at issue.
"Unless Mr.. Pickens can point out
some OInef DOlutS VI uihoiChOCs
said the chief justice. 81 think it
is pretty clear that the courts de-
cision in the Arkansas case also es-
tablishes the validity of the Indiana
law and there is no use proceeding
farther with the argument. T"
The full train crew law was pro-
posed in the Indiana legislature In
1907. BY Mr.. Honan, who, at that
time. was the Democratic floor lead
er. The bill passed and the law was
slightly amended two years later tc
meet the objections of the railroad
companies. Notwithstanding this
fact the Pennsylvania railroad ques-
toned the constitutionality of the
law and carried it to the courts
The Indiana supreme court held the
law valid and the railroad company
ther appealed the case to the Unit
ed States supreme court. The ful
crew law provides that the railroads
shall place an additional experienced
flag man on all passenger trains o.
| five cars or more, and on all freigh
trains of fifty cars or more.

AN OPEN AIR JAUNT.
Ilatt Dickson Walks From South
Bend To Plymouth In Six Hours
and Twtlve Minutes.

Exercise in the open air has long
been recognized as "good thing"
Walking is a custom With English
women of the class who can afford
to indulge in the fad, for such it be-
comes, and In consequence is often
overdone. A party of our town girls
"took hike" as far as Argos the
past summer, and other such trips
have been taken by various persons.
Last Thursday morning Platt Dick
son. a native born Marshall county
man, coming from the early pioneers
of the county, now living in South
Bend. wished to visit Plymouth.
Platt had heard of noted walker,
who made this trip on foot in five
hours and ffty-nine minutes, taking
the jaunt in the summer season when
the roads were good for walking. He
had been impressed with the idea
that he could "do the STUNT in fair
time. and bethought himself that
Thursday was a good day to pull it
off. The clock showed 9:15 a. m,
and Mr. Dickson left the car station
headed south, and stopped walking
When he got to the Plym-
outh postoffiee, and found it was
3:27 p. m. Six hours and twelve
minutes. over such "going" as we
had last Thursday. We are ready
to acknowledge Platt is "some walk
er." In this connection it may not
be out of, order to state that we
have in Plymouth some girls who
contemplate a trip to South Bend
the coming spring. and desiring to
see the country and get the exercise,
will walk it. Miss Pearl Daniels of
the city High school. and her sister
Nav. who is a student. are both
enthusiastic for this sort of walk,
and will go it alone If they do not
find company that is congenial for
the trip Can they do it? Well we
think they can. These girls have
brother who is an athlete. and if
they are like he is. we have no fear
but thev will walk to South Bend
some day. Their brother Bert Dan
iels. is known by reputation to some
of our base ball "fans,' as he play
ed with Notre Dame a few years
ago. and is now on the regular team
of the New York American league,
playing in the field and is the
"first man up' in the batting list.
These girls may not make as good
time as did our old townsmsn last
Thursday. but that they will do it.
we have no doubt.

HOUR FROM 8 TO 10 A. N.
Rural Route Carriers Must Go Ont
On Monday-0nly Holiday On
Which Government Requires
Them to Work.

In order that everyone may get
Christmas packages in time for the
proper enjoyment of this anniversary
the post Office will be open in all
delivery departments except the
rural service on Sunday. December
24 from 9 to 10 in the morning.
City carriers will be on duty and
Will be very glad to deliver pack
ages and all other mail to patrons
who will be considerate enough to
call and relieve the carriers of
part of their excessive burdens
which add to their labors and others
good cheer.
In order that everyone may en-
JOY the holiday season more fully
the postal employees in every de-
partment must labor overtime and
early and late to handle the exces-
sive bulk of packages which contest
the mails for this period, and if
patrons will observe the following
notice of service on Christmas day
and the Sunday preceding they will
aid materially in lessening the neces-
sary work connected with delivering
the extraordinary amount of mail
which is regularly received during
Christmas week.
On Sunday. December 24. nearly
all packages will have been received
and it is believed that nearly all
that have not been previously deliv-
cred by city carriers can be deliver
ed on this day to persons who have
reason to believe they will receive
packages. if they will call.
For this reason all city carriers
will be on duty that day from 9 to
10 in the morning as will also the
general delivery clerk.
On Monday. Christmas day. all
rural carriers will make complete
delivery of mail to rural patrons at
the regular time. This is the only
holiday on which the Department re-
quires rural service
CITY carriers will make one full
delivery on Monday morning but
will not be required to do any other
service.
General delivery and stamp window
will be open Monday from Z 80 to
1000 in the morning but will not
open again in the evening as has
been the custom, as it is believed that
all who have any business to trans
act they can be accommodated those
hours.
The outgoing mail will be handled
the same on this day as on any
other working day, that is all mails
will be dispatched at she usual time.
Persons desiring mail TO be dis
patched expeditiously should mail it
at the Office drop after the time
scheduled on collection boxes for the
first collection. This can be done
anv time during the day as the lobby
is open from 5:15 a. m. until S:l5 p.
