This is not that kind of community.
1t isn't behind in anything but that
time, and it isn't behind in that al

The Dispatch doesn't want that to
continue. 1t has no other thing in
mind right now than to get that time
put where 1t belongs. Move up that
city clock. Move it up. Move it right
now. You need not worry about the
Dispatch. Our clock was moved up
and we are not hurt. But the good
name OF your community is hurt and
the convenience for people coming in

not want to impress on everybody
who comes here that we are all hour

clock?

Judging by editorial comment and

couldn.t liurt rhat road.


There are many surprising stories
about toads, observes Philip Hale, edi-
tor of the "As the World Ways" col
umn in Boston Herald. Here is one of
them, taken from a book containing the
names and crimes of people in North
cumberland, England. In 1893 stone
mason, Mr.. George Wilson, "wantonly
lmmured" toad In q wall he was
building, making for the toad a close
cell of lime and stone. to fit 1t snugly,
and plastering to prevent the admls-
sion Of air. Sixteen years afterward
q gap was made, in the wall so that
carts could pass through. The toad
was found alive. Torpid at first, 1t
was soon active. so that 1t made Its
way to q pile of stones and disap-
peared. There were cruel men in North
cumberland. Mr.. Thomas Anderson
was punished in 1851 for playing on
bagpipe before bridegroom on a Sun
day. Among the women, Elizabeth
Mills was brought into court for scold-
Ing and drying fish on the Lords day.

ponkeys Wear the Trousers.

There is one spot in Europe where
the women have not yet taken to i'm
itating male attire, but the donkeys
have. Visitors to La Rochelle usually
take "trip across to the lie de Rhe,
which Is about two miles from the
mainland. Nothing in the island i'm
presses them more than the donkeys.
These animals, who do most of the
draught work, invariably have their
legs encased in trousers, fastened
with cords over the withers and the
headquarters. The natural impression
is that carnival is in progress. But
the donkeys are thus attired whenever
they go to work, for the lie de Rhe Is
infested with mosquitoes and a pc
culiar fly most obnoxious to animals.
