Una: he could supply a million pairs

chant with half n dozen pairs of frog
legs for sale and upon being asked
why he brought no more the farmer
replied: We'll, them frogs made a
noise like q million of 'em, but when
drained the pond l could only find
six"

UNEXPECTED RIDE.

Ten years ago we attended the Indian "corn dance," on the Rose bud reservation. The festivities were held inside the race course and the Indians were decked out in gay blankets, paint and feathers galore. When my husband went to get me a drink of water, gorgeous young chief stepped up, looked our auto over and, without a word, hopped in beside me and proceeded to race our machine around the race course, his blanket and feathers streaming on the breeze while I held on to the seat, shrieking madly. Round and round the course we whizzed until the gas was exhausted. Then say ing, "Heap ride" he stalked ma jestically away.-Chicago Journal.

ONLY CHANGE IS IN METHOD
Human Race as "Pugnaeious" Today as It Was in the Times of
 the Old Romans.

The word ''pugnacity' is a pat reminder of the short and simple way of doing things. When an old Roman was disposed to be quarrel some he went at 1t by the direct method of using his fist, or "pug- nus" Hence "pugno"-I fight.
 It will be seen that the word "pugnacious" is closely allied to our modern phrase of the boxing ring or the alley: Handy with his fists"
 The next time you are disposed to be quarrelsome in the modern way of being argumentative, remem- Der the origin of the word "pug- nacious." The method of being pugnacious has varied somewhat un- der the influence of police regula- tions and the higher conception of individual rights. Most of the time we substitute bitter words for hard fists. But the principle is the same, and 1t IS savage desire to knock the other fellow down.-Chicago Journal.

ONCE REGlMENTAL MASCOT.

Cornelius D. Vargas was nomi-
 mated by President Harding and confirmed by the senate to be post master at Guayama, Porto Rico, and incidentally there came to light a bit of romance that harks back to the days of the Spanish-Ameri- can war. At that time the Fourth Ohio infantry was stationed in Por- to Rico. Vargas was adopted as a mascot and when the troops re- turned he was taken to Ohio. While a member of the Ohio state senate, President Harding introduced a resolution by which state funds were appropriated for his education. When this was completed Vargas obtained a position in the Columbus postoffice. Through the years Var gas had an ambition to go back to his home town as postmaster. Knowing that, President Harding fulfilled the wish.-The Argonaut.

NECESSITIES OF THE RICH.

Young MT. Leeds, son of an
 American mother and one of the worlds wealthiest widows until she became the wife of Prince Chris topher of Greece, recently spent a morning in Paris buying 64 silk shirts, two black velvet morning coats and a few other little necessi- ties. The young man comes by it naturally, for his mother at the time of her wedding a year ago is said to have had slippers made of humming birds wings, a stomacher of robins breasts and furs and other fxings costing so much money that the itemized bill was telegraphed all round the world for newspapers to print and high-cost-of-living com plainers to marvel at, remarks Cap per's Weekly.

JUST ONE NIGHTS DANCING.

Many persons, not only of the so- called weaker but of the presuma- ply stronger sex, think that walking half-dozen blocks on some practi- cal errand is entirely too grest a physical effort, but think nothing at all of dancing a good portion of the night. It Is interesting to see just what dancing amounts to in the way of exercise.
 The average waltz requires 8 dancer to travel over 1900 yards, and other dances average around $50 yards. Dancing from g o'clock into the following morning necessi- tates taking 2s,00O steps, or a total distance of over II miles. Fancy the feelings of girl if invited to take an 11-mile walk, even if it were proposed that she be accompanied by band of musicl
