her TO take any particular interest ia
anything or anybody until one day she
saw the frog and fell madly In love
with him.
"She told her family how handsome
he was, how green his back and how
shiny, and how white his vest was,
and how far he could Jump, and,
above all, how musical his voice
sounded when just at nightfall he led
all the frogs in their evening song.
Her family, realizing how ill.mated
would be the frog and mouse.
frowned very much upon her affection
and used every influence to keep her
from loving the frog, and even threat
ened to send her away to another field
to live II she persisted in spending
so much time in his company.
Nor was the frog very much fat
tered by the attentions OF the mouse,
for he felt that he was much too i'm
portant an individual to seriously con-
slider marrying so unpretentious an
animal as the little gray mouse.
~ very likely shall marry a beaver
or a mink, he said to himself, and, at
any rate, shall do no more than
amuse myself with Gray Mouse un-
I'll have found someone more to my
liking
Gray Mouse was made quite I'M
happy by her failure to make the frog
declare an affection for her, but in the
absence OF that she planned out a
very original scheme she thought
would make her and the frog insepara-
BILE.
"She had noticed how large and I'M
wieldy we're the webbed feet of the
frog, and how fat his mouth, and she
said to herself: He could not unite
a knot with his fingers nor bite
cord with his mouth, and IL could tie
myself to him he would never be able
to get away
so next day when the frog was
asleep in the sun she crept softly up
to his side, and with hair which she
had stolen from the tail OF a horse
pastured in the field where she lived

of her tail securely to the frogs hind
leg.
There she said to herself, we
shall never be separated again and
he is mine forever.
Shortly after the frog awakened
and found Gray Mouse by his side.
He gosslped with her for some time,
but every time that she attempted to
say anything of love the frog turned
the conversation to some other topic.
At last, growing tired OF the attempts
of Gray Mouse to talk on matters
which in no way interested him, the
frog jumped into the pond. And as he
did so, the mouse, being securely tied
to him by her tail. was snatched sud-
denly into the water with him. and as
the frog dived deeper into the water
she gradually lost her breath and was
drowned"
well, what q fool of a mouse she
was said Jack Rabbit, as the fox
concluded his story.

1--WE will sit by the pond" said the
fox. 'and I will tell you a story which
will very aptly illustrate bit Of wis
dom that every animal in the wood
ought to know and which every boy
and girl ought to have taught them"
So the rabbit and the fox sought a
place on the edge OF the pond which
was sheltered by bushes and which
hid them from the sight OF any passer-
by. It was indeed, the same place
where they sat when they discovered
the duck who pretended to be q doc
tor.
They had got themselves well
seated and comfortable, when the rab-
bit said to the fox, We'll, now for the
story"
Clearing his throat with a loud
"A-hem." which rather startled the
rabbit, the fox began.
This story was first told centuries
ago. and has been repeated thousands
of times. but that affects neither its
truthfulness nor the lesson which 1t
teaches. Once upon time there was
a frog who lived in pool and near the
pool in hole in the ground, there
lived a field mouse. The frog could
hop farther than any OF his mates and
his croak was louder than that of any
other frog in the pool. and he was
generally looked upon as the leading
frog of the community. The mouse,
who was known to her companions as
Gray Mouse, was very plain and very
quiet, and no ono had ever known

So Eddystone islanders AserIbe Thelr
Ills to the charm-How "Cure"
10 Made.

Many interesting facts with regard
Gerry, the imposition and removal OF
taboo, and the belief In the infection
and cure of disease by rites among
the natives OF Melanesia were related
recently by DR.. w. II. r. Rivers in the
second Fitzpatrick lecture on "MediI

College OF Physicians. says the Lon-

In Eddystone islands, where Doctor
Rivers spent several months some
years ago, nearly every disease Is
ascribed to the infraction Of taboo
on the fruit of certain trees, espe-
cially the cocoanut and betel vine, the
taboo as well as the sign by which
1t is known being called KENO.
When anyone suffers from epilepsy
or other convulsive seizure which 10
recognized as kirengge he and his
friends consult one known to have
the power of imposing the KENO kir-
engge. This man visits the patient
and strokes him from the head
downwards with four leaves called
myou, some moss, SCOT, and scrap
ings of wood, uttering the formula:
Stroke away. Stroke down and
away. Cease thou. Let the man
live; do not return. They have given
me a good ring" The last clause OF
this formula and two in that used in
removing the taboo refer to the fee.

MOLDY SILAGE is HARMFUL
Complaints Made That Farmers Lose
Horses and Enthusiastically
Avoid All Spoiled STUFF.

Every winter farmers complain of
losing horses or mules by feeding
spoiled silage. Damaged or moldy
silage is not first-class feed for any
animal, Even cattle should be fed
carefully, but the greatest care should
be exercised with horses and colts.
See that no moldy stun gets into their
feed boxes and that none Is left
there from one feed to another to
spoil.
Good silage does not hurt horses,
but remember the mold that some
times occurs in spots may kill them
at any time.
