Mr.. Garden Toad Wakes Up

PERHAPS YOU have been wondering
where Mr.. Garden Toad has been all
this long time, or what has become
Of him, and why he hasn't had story
for-oh, SO long!
Well, I'll tell you why.
Mr.. Garden Toad has been asleep!
Yes, sir!-sound asleep this whole
winter long! No wonder he hasn't
been In any story. There's not much
of a story can be written about
there?
What's that! Did you say he was
a lazy old fellow?
To be sure he is. But then. there's
a reason for his sleeping reason
that is bigger and much more impor-
tant than plain laziness. Mr.. Garden
Toad can't find thing to eat all win
ter long-not a thing-not bite!
And that isn't because he is lazy,
either There simply isn't anything
for him to eat Do you see any flies
out in the garden when the snow Is
on the ground? Or any gnats! Or
mosquitoes? Or bugs that a toad
could eat? OF course you do not
and neither does Mr.. Toad.
So when the last fly and the last
mosquito are frozen to death. wise
old Mr.. Garden Toad simply crawls
into his hole in the ground and sleeps
till there Is something to eat-and
that's pretty good sense. when you
come to think about 1t.
But when the sun mounts high in
the heavens, when the strong winds
begin to blow away the wetness and
frost OF the winter. when the violets
and tulips wake up their roots and
start growing. then there is differ
emit story.
On Just such a spring day as that.
old Mr.. Garden Toad dreamed q
dream. He dreamed that he was up
In his garden home and that the
summer sun was shining. He
dreamed that Billy Robin was talk
ing to him and that Tommy Title
mouse was waiting for chat just
round the corner of the golden-glow
bed and that the garden was full of
fiies-nice big, fat juicy fiies-flies

on the road to Burleigh on Monday
about three o'clock. She was carrying
a heavy child and seemed very tired.
The description of the woman tallies
in every way with that given by the
farmer"
But the Burleigh road is a mile west
of the road we were on this afternoon,
and Mr.. Farrer said the woman he
gave ride to went west" interrupted
Dick.
Il know" responded the doctor
but ! still think it was the same WON
an. She gave no account of herself
and what sane reason could q woman
have for starting afoot with heavy
baby to a town Is miles away? That
fact alone would lead me to suspect
that all was not as il should be and
that was what made the man call me
up. People don't do those things"
And about her being on a different
road going in a different direction %
That only confirms my suspicion
that we are on the right trail She
doubled back on her track after the
farmer was out of sight and in some
way got over to the BurIeigh road"

A MODERN PIRATE.

We do not recall incident either in fiction or his
tory that compare with the capture of the British
steamer Matoppo by Ernest Schiller the German spy
The captain and other officers and Of Sc men, IA
of whom Engshmen, mastered by this one
German The story Of how it done u.s. of course in
terestng but it does not adequately explain the affair It
is hard to how there be any explanation of the
capture by Of ship and than 60 officers
and seamen If this sort of thing be done YES
SELL it can be done another and thus not of them
SAFE
Schiller, the captor, may have been very masterfu
and resourcefu man, and undoubtedly he did ge the
drop his enemies But that he should win in the face
of such odds would not have been thought possible Yet
the thing to have been easy The captain of the
Matoppo tells how it done But in spite Of all that he
says the general opinion will be that he and his crew
ought to have kept the control of their ship as against
man. Certainly the affair reflects little credit on
them.
AS for Schiller, it must be said that he showed great
determination and bravery He finally lost Of course and
is now in an American prison. Whether he be con-
yicted of piracy remains to be But whatever his
oense he at least succeeded in making the of the
Matoppo somewhat ridiculous. It thought remark
able that the small German prize put board the
Appam was able to bring that vessel into port. But
Schiller overcame greater obstacles and though he did
not finally win he did succeed in doing about as he
pleased with the Matoppo without of the 60 and
more men on board attempting to thwart him. 1t was
remarkable performance

Dinner Stories.

The unfortunate farm laborer was a
pessimist, with reason He had been
thrown out of several Jobs by the in
PRODUCTION of farm machinery. conse-
quently he distrusted everything that
smacked of conversation of energy.
Now he stood by the kitchen table
reading the l,>bels on parcels his wife
had brought home from town.
"Self-raising flour" he said. "Ah,
: I'D, they'll be inventing self raising
wheat next to throw US poor devils out
of another iob!'
A temperance lecturer, in the course
of an address, gazed severely at his all
too apathetic audience.
Beware, men, he shouted; beware,
The drink curse is heading you all for
that inferno paved with chorus girls,
champagne and automobiles.
There was an immediate response.
A chair scraped in the rear of the hall
as the town souse kudehed to his feet
and peered owlishly at the speaker.
