PUT END TO FR0G-FARMINe
Audubon's Scheme Might Have Been
Good but for One amaf. unfors-
zen Incident.

There 10 an amusing story told In
connection with the frat venture In
frog farming ever made in the United
States.
Early In the last century Audubon.
the great ornithologlst. went down the
Ohio river from Pennsylvania In a
little steamer OF his own, stopping at
various points to obtain specimens OF
l~ittle-known birds.
While at Hendersonvilie. Kentucky,
which he made his home for some
time. he built a mill and proposed to
raise frogs On a large scale, preparing
for that purpose a pond rear the
river.
The frogs multiplied wonderfully
and on warm summer evenings 1t was
the practice of Audubon to sit under
a tree near the pond. listening to the
concert given by his stock, and cal,
culating the amount of money he
should derive from the sale OF the
grown frogs.
But one night, when the frogs were
nearly grown, they heard the booming
OF bullfrogs in the Ohio. Their curios
ity was aroused. and hopping out of
the pond, they made their way to the
river. into which they plunged and
disappeared!

Mr.. Editor:
| If an individual in his business,
| spends more than he makes, he is
bound to end in bankruptcy, and would
justly be considered unwise and IN
businesslike. To the average taxpay-
er, it looks like the city authorities
| and county commissioners were trav-
cling the path of the unwise man, in
granting every petition for improved
roads" that has been presented to
them. Every petition granted means
| the expenditure of many thousands of
| dollars. and a consequent soaring O:
taxes to the limit. A raise in taxes
| will be great hardship to many tax
payers who have all the load, in that
way, they can carry now. Good roads
are a necessity and a blessing, and
! none there are who grudge money
spent for their upkeep-but macadam
roads are a luxury, devised, it would
seem. especially for the use and pleas
ure of auto owners-as they make
| ideal speedways.
, The improved road" law says "gra-
vel roads," not macadam. Gravel
roads meet all the requirements OF
travel; then why make them all at
| once? Why not string them out
through the coming years and thus
lessen the load of taxridden people ?
| Individuals in a community are en-
titled to all they can pay for, provided
| they distress no one. and If those who
want macadam roads are willing to
pay for the difference in cost between
the two kinds of roads, there would be
no kick from anyone.
| But when it comes to matchmaking
country roads and finishing them with
cement curbs and cutters, that is the
| last straw, and the camel, like the
worm, will turn.

kinssIey's Queer Idea and an Embar-
RAISING Coincidence.
Charles Kingsley was at a dinner
once with the aeronaut Coxwell. 1t was
| shortly after Coxwen and n companion
had made flight in which they had
| risen so high that Coxwells hands
| were frozen and he had time only to
| tear open the air valve with his teeth.
! A. c. Benson tells the story in 1.-The
| Leaves Of the Tree" in the North
! American Review. After dinner Kings
| ley suddenly said:
II have often thought that the first
man that ever went up in a balloon
must have been q d-dentist."
Some one laughed and said, what
an extraordinary ideaw
II don't know" said Kingsley. "a
man who is always looking down
peoples threats. and pulling their teeth
! about, and breathing their breath, must
| be inspired with a tremendous desire
to get away and above it ALL"
Coxwell leaned forward and said
very good humoredly, "Well, Mr..
Kingsley, it is true that am a dentist,
but it was not that that made me be-
come an aeronaut."
MY d-dear Mr.. Coxwell," said
Kingsley, flushing red, II am sure
beg your pardon. I had no idea it was
so. You must have thought me Singh
| larry i'll hammered to make a joke of
! it,"
Kingsley could not recover his spirits
for the rest of the evening. He hated
| giving pain to any human being more
| perhaps than anything in the world.

MEN AND MONEY.

In dollars how much is a man worth
to his world?
OF course it depends.
In slavery days an ablebodied col
ored man would bring from 81 900 to
$4,000 on the auction block.
Young Greeks brought to this coun-
try sell themselves In peonage, so it is
claimed. for something like $500 for a
period Of five years.
/ said to my friend, a prosperous
lawyer. "How much are you worth p
lone hundred thousand dollars" he
replied. When l expressed surprise
he said, II earn 8 per cent on 500, 700
$1,000 a year-and therefore 1 am
worth that much"
Experts have figured the cash value
Of q man.
According to DIR. Parr, the net value
to Great Britain of the average citizen
aged twenty-five years is $1,000. He
gets his estimate by subtracting the
mans keep from his probable future
earnings.
Men are more valuable here.
American men are valuable because
Of their better earning opportunity. In
comparison with the Englishman the
figure is surprising, Professor Irving
Fisher estimates the average Ameri-
can at the age of twenty to be worth
$4,000. That is to say, he Is worth
that much in cold cash to the United
States.
People are a country's most valuable
asset. but nevertheless they are sell
dom fgured in the national balance
sheet
Why?
Probably because our laws and leg
islation have been almost entirely di-
rected to property interests, Our eco
nomics know nothing but dollars as
represented in real and personal prop
erty.
That is why you can stir the country
into agitation concerning the conserva-
ton of our resources-timber and min
erals and water power-while propos-
ed legislation concerning pure food and
child labor and employers liability
meets with a slow response.
Why so Jealous of the destruction of
timber and coal and so careless of the
destruction Of men and women and
children?
Because dollars are dear In the view
OF legislators and flesh and blood are
cheap.
But, glory be,
The times are full of significance.
and our statesmen are coming to I'M
derstand that. motives of humanity
aside, men are more valuable than
money.

Todd as they sat in the park, "the
way women dress these days is
absurd. And nine times out of ten it
is the fault Of men. Just, for instance,
take that woman coming down the
path. Some fool husband has told her
she looks perfectly charming in that
outrageous getup, lacking the stamina
to come right out bluntly and tell her
that she looks positively ridiculous"

Why Dean Swift Didn't Go to Ascot.

Why Dean Swift Didn't Go to Ascot.
Dean Swift was the earliest man of
note to make mention of the historic
Ascot race meeting. 1t is in one of
his Letters to Stella" in August, I'LL.
that the great Jonathan says he saw
a place they have made for famous
horse race tomorrow, when the queen
will come" But being tired with rid
ing a trotting, mettlesome horse
dozen miles, having not been on horse
back this twelvemonth," Swift deter
mined mot to go to the race unless 1
can get room in some coach" AS he
was hindered by a caller all the
coaches were filed before he could
reach one, and as consequence the
world lost the description of that
earliest Ascot that only the author
of "Gulliver's Travels" could have
penned.-London Spectator.
