THE VILLAGE FROG.

Under the lily pads and things
The big old bulfrog aquata;
His greenish hide Is thick, b'jinGE,
With warts. and Jumps, and knots.
And when he swells himself and sings
His voice is rough in spots.
His thighs are thick, and big, and strong;
Yet he enjoys his ease;
And when the echoes of his song
Are borne upon the breeze.
His normal slope unless I'm wrong.
Is forty-iyc degrees.
Week In. week out, from morn til night,
You can hear his bellows blow:
You can hear him sound his gong, all
right,
With measured beat and SLOW,
Like a bruiser spelling for a fight
When there isn't any foe.
On Sundays como the village boys
With fishing poles, red rag
And sticks, and stones, and then his
voice
Mys.eriously lags.
He hides himsef-he has no choice
Down deep amid the flags
Souatting hiding, believing,
onward through life he goes;
10 ents Il little. tries to sing,
,rd wqrhles through his nose.
.e doesn't have TO do q thing
To earn nights repose
Thanks. thanks to thee. my warty
friend,
For the lesson thou hast taught;
Thus, In the great frogpond Of life,
Our fortunes must he wrought:
There's nothing else on earth to do
but keep from getting caught!

WORST TENEMENTS

French Expert Says Paris Would
Not Tolerate Dark Rooms

New Yorl; July tS.--"New York has the
worst tenemeuts in the world and also tho

lied conditions in this city after making
an automobile tour of tenement and Fat

DR.. Pranard whose department, known
ar the bureau of assurance and social
providence, is a division OF the ministry
Of labor. went first to Thompson street.
'Sherc he saw some old rookeries; then
to the southern part Of Washington

was taken to see the new law houses"
and the model houses being built b. Mrs.
Vanderbilt. in the region of the upper sew
critics and Avenue A. lie also saw the
TielInord ana several Broadway apart
ment houses.
I'VE have some lad tencments in
Paris. no said At the Waldorf later,
but we have no such dark Railways
and such dark rooms. And frd that
families living in these tenements arc
obliged to pay about n third Of their
income In rent. In Paris the workman
pays only about a quarter of his in
come for rent. Your new law houses
are splendid, but they are also very
dear-too dear for the French workm IN.
I find that in these houses the workman
must pay about s. per room monthly.
That is too much. Your apartment
houses are the finest in the world
Or. Prannrd says that the old New
York apartment house bugaboo of large
families with many children is glvinc
trouble in Paris
The doorkeeper or manager there
like your ianitor here, is tyrant." said
he. ''In Paris one takes ain apartment
for three months. II a man with more
than three children gets into one of
those houses the manager puts him out
at the end OF the three months. So
severe has this condition become that a
society is being organized in Paris to
build tenements for the man with three
children or more.
II should like to see in Paris, as here

a. You have. We have attempted some
thing of the sort but the Frenchman
would not allow an inspector TO go into
his house once month. or indeed at any
time. We have too much of the feeling
for liberty. Consequently we have no fire
escapes upon many of our tenements since
re one has the authority to require them
Il was much interested in your system

The Chomplain crashed against Barn
rock a short distance from Westport. &c
years ago this month and was so far
destroyed that only parts ot her could
be used and no effort to put her into

According to tho story Of Capt. Rock

could be seen distinctly. and any APP

VERSATILITY OF THE VERMONT

(From the Rutland News

1t Is somewhat remarkable climate
which varies l25 degrees in n year. and
yet that is the kind OF climate we live
In here in this part of New England The
mercury reaches 1O2 in the shade Mt times
as all of us arc painfully aware, and
that 1t falls to 70 below zero row and
then in the winter we are equally aware
That this comes pretty close to the ex-
! treme at both ends will have TO be admit
ted.
To no sure, the hot wave which now
appears to be effectually broken was one
or exceptional severity and prolongation.
For tho two weeks of this month with
very brief respites, this part of the
| country sweltered under the heat which
| seemed almost uncomfortable From 90 10

day. and the nights were relieved only
by the absence OF the sun The air was

'Nigger gin new name of liquor for

erage, according to Edward Martelle. that
Intoxicated him few weeks ago and was
the means Of his Judgment In the county
jail. 1t afterwards developed that the
JOY dispenser was nothing more or less
than the old split, when handed to one
Ly colored gentleman.
Martelle's sentence in Jail for the above
entioned offense expires to-day and he
vas brought into city court to disclose.
at the instigation of Grand Juror Moul-
ton, who Is determined that a loophole in
the disclosure law, which has been very
effective, shall be blocked up
The means OF getting around the law
fas been as simple as 1t has been effective
during the past few years. one or two
attorneys in particular, have been in the
habit of appearing for every habltual
drunkard, or any one else who would be
obliged to disclose as TO where they got
their liquor The prisoner pleads not
guilty and of course is almost Immediately
found guilty as he introduces no testi-
mony to show that he Is not In fact II is
not there that the important point rests.
After being found guilty his attorney
promptly appeals the case and furnishes
tie amount OF bail required, usually SlGO
This appeal Is never entered, for, before
the time arrives, the surety has either
surrendered the client or the man has paid
bis fine. OF course this is done without
his appearance in city court and nobody
Is around to take a disclosure, If the man
wanted to make one.
The grand juror has, however. dug up
q statute which provides that disclosure
shall be made anyway a. \ 1t is for this
purpose that Martelle was brought in.
There will probably be no important de-
velopnents from the disclosure of yester-
day, AS 1t is delightfully."- indefinite.
