EVIDENTLY A THINKER Clever Maneuver by Which Batrach- fan Foiled His Inveterate. Enemy, the Serpent. The following snake story was told some- years ago by a reputable citi- zen of Anson county: Driving along a@ public road one day he saw a toad frog crossing the road at top speed— hitting only the high places and few of them. As the frog disappeared in the bosky underbrush on one side a black snake in hot pursuit made its appearance on the other. The’ story- teller followed the two into the bushes to see what the result would be. He had proceeded only a short distance when he found the frog at bay, fac- ing the snake and with the latter cire- ling about in the effort to make an attack from the rear. His frogship kept turning all the time, always face ing the enemy. The reason of this maneuver on the snake’s part was that the frog had in its mouth, held crosswise and about the middle, a stick about the size and length of a lead pencil. The frog knew the snake could not swallow him so long as he presented such a front. The man watched the performance for some time and when he left the snake was still circling the frog and the latter facing its enemy on every turn.—Charlotteville Observer. HOW DID THE PARROT KNOW? Hard to Explain, But Polly Certainly Had Premonition of the Com- ing Earthquake. “Beyond his habit of living to be 100 to 150 years old, the parrot is a truly remarkable bird in other ways,” said Mr. E. N. Daniels of the City of Mexico. “What makes me give utterance to this opinion is a trick that a bird which belongs to my young son exe- cuted the night of the late earthquake that shook us up so severely in Mex: lco. Fully five minutes before the first shock, which came a little after four o’clock in the morning, Poll set up a terrific uproar that. culminated in a prolonged scream. I didn’t relish the discordant racket which broke into the slumbers of the family and felt like murdering the miserable crea- ture, especially as there was no cessa- tion of its vocal exercise. “While it was still coming in for my denunciations the tremor of the earth occurred, and in a second it flashed across my mind that Polly had given us warning in the only way it knew low to reach us. It may not seem reasonable that the bird should be able to sense a convulsion of nature in advance of its coming, but the facts are as I have stated, and after the affair was over I petted the par rot ag much as I had scolded it a lit- tle while before. It has a meal ticket for life in the Daniels household, and money wouldn’t buy it.” SUBTERFUGE NOT A SUCCESS Crosby Boesn’t Know Whether Wife Defaated Trick or Really Was In Unselfish Mood. Craby had always been inclined to conservatism in householdeexpenses, especially in the matter of his wife's dress bills, relates a writer in the Sunday Magazine. His wife went so far as to say that he was penurious. She had been in need of a new boa for a long time, and after she hinted that her happiness would never be quite complete till she had one, he at last consented to make the purchase. He went into a store and picked out two, one of which was a cheap imita- tion affair, and the other a fine ex pensive one. Taking them to his office before go ing home, he changed the price marks, the expensive tag on the cheap boa and vice versa. His wife examined them for a long time very seriously indeed, and then said, “Now, dear, the expensive boa is a beauty, and it is really very good of you to allow me my choice. Some women would take it without a word; but really I don’t think we can af- ford the more costly one, and be- sides, dear, I think the cheap one the More stylish too. Why, Cros, dear, what's the matter? Are you ill?” But dear old Cros had made his getaway into the night where he could kick himself as hard.as he felt he de served. But what he would like to know, is this: Did his wife happen on the more expensive boa by pure accident, or— — At the Half-Century Mark, Youth is eternal to him who believes tw eternity. To me youth means any- where from eight onward. I was an exceedingly old person at eight and I trust I violate no confidence when I confess a youthful exuberance now that I have bumped against the half- way post. Fifty is a splendid time for youthful expansion; one’s fancy still retains all its ingenuity while one’s judgment is bettered by experience. When sitting on the 50 milestone the vane of man’s vision points southward to the past and northward to the fu- ture with a minimum of oscillation. Rancorous thought and splenetic ex- pression give way to quieter nerves and calmer view, and the mellow light- ed vista of the years that have gone soften the heart of the youth of a half century of years.—John Philip Sousa in the Circle. “Pa, what is meant oy a nervous wreck?” “A nervous wreck, my boy, is some- thing that a woman says she ts every time she gets a headache.”—] Free Press. GRAND. RAPIDS HERALD-REVIEW, WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 28 41910, 0’ REST AND PLEASURE Filipinos of \fovh Sexes Make Sunday a Time of Enjoyment—The Market Women. It is the women who market the produce. Early each morning long lines of these farmer wives, with great cigars in their mouths and large bas- kets of wares on their heads, can be seen striding along the narrow trails toward the capital city where market is ‘held, says a Manila correspondent. Strong and happy, they wade through the streams and the mud. calling out to one another as they go, and only stopping to get a fresh light for their cigars from some one of their number or some one whom they chance to meet. Once at market they chat, smoke, laugh and barter fo: hours over a few small tomatoes, some green squash, a live chicken eggs, fruit, sugar or anything tier happen to have, and toward noon the) straggle home, having had a good visit and sold or exchanged their wares. Sunday is the one really strenuous day for the Filipmo. It is the big market day when people come from all the surrounding country, and it is the time when cock-fights are al- lowed. Men spend a good share of their time during the week in training their pet roosters, and on Sunday, early and late, they can be seen going to and from the pit, carrying their | game-cocks under their arms. Excitement runs high and their joy ous shouts can be heard for a long way. Some women attend the fights, but most of them do the double duty of attending mass and then patroniz- ing the market, which is just ,across the street from the church. All day Sunday they are active and excitable but the next day they settle back intc their quiet, uneventful lives? TROUBLESOME SQUIRRELS. In a Colorado Town They Destroy Birds’ Nests and Gnaw Through Roofs. Greeley is contemplating organizing a squirrel hunt to rid the city of the hundreds of squirrels which make their home in Lincoln Park and which destroy the eggs of the song birds. Ten years ago Greeley was the home of many linnets, wild canaries, mock ing birds and robins, writes a corre spondent of the Denver Republican, but only a few are seen now, and there are none left in the trees in the park because of the depredations of the squirrels. Eight years ago some one brought two pairs of squirrels from the East and made houses for them in the park, where they and the progeny became great attractions. They have multi- plied so fast, however, as to overrun the park and exteud their nesting Places to private grounds. In several cases they have gnawed through the roofs of houses in order to makq nests in the garrets, At first it was be- lieved that the English sparrow had driven away the other birds, but in- vestigation proves that not even a sparrow’s nest can be found. The placing of the tin collars from eight to ten inches wide around every tree not in the park was suggested for the protection of the birds, but this will prove no remedy because of the ability of the squirrels to spring from one tree top to another. The talk of exterminating the squirrels has been going on for two years and people say they must go. HE WANTED TO BE ON TIME But It Is Probable Mrs. Blank Had Something to Say to Him That Night. He was a very busy man, and, like all of-his kind, he hated to waste time by unnecesary waiting. That was why in the midst of his correspond- ence, along about 11 o’clock the other morning, he paused, and, turning to his secretary, requested him to ring up his residence on the phone. “Jemmison,” he said, “get my house on the wire and ask Mrs. Blank to tome to the ‘phone. Just tell them that I wish to speak to her.” The secretary made off, and in a few minutes the required connection was made. , “Is that you, Mary?” he said. “Yes,” was the answer. “Well, this is John,” he said. “I have just rung you up to tell you that Barker was in here this morning with two tickets for the theater to-night. He and Mrs. Barker have been called suddenly out of town, and he thought we might like to use the tickets. How about it?” “Fine,” replied Mrs, Blank. “I have nothing else to do.” “AN right, my dear,” continued Blank. “The curtain rises at 8:30.” “Yes, I know,” said Mrs. Blank. “I thought I'd let you know in time, so that directly you have had your lunch you can begin to put your hat on,” he went on. “Then we can get there before the middle of the first act. By-by, dear.” The only answer was an angry click at the other end of the wire, which seemed to indicate that another receiver was in trouble, but Mr. Blank only laughed as he returned to his work.—Lippincott’s.
