or four tent stakes he Is to drive but
he confidently answers Sure thing

Toatl Stones
Most readers have no doubt heard of
the precious jewels which the toad car
ries in his brain box and so called
toadstones which were in reality the
teeth of fossil fish were formerly worn
In finger rings as a protection against
poison
It was thought that the best stones
were those voluntarily ejected by tho
living toads but as the latter were not
addicted to freely giving up their treas
ures in that way it was necessary to
procure the coveted articles by other
means and the recognized method was
to decapitate the hapless batrachian
at the instant he swallows his breath
The feat naturally demanded consider
able celerity such as could only be ac
quired by constant practice and It is
not reasonable therefore to assume
that although the endeavors to gain
possession of the jewels were perhaps
numerous they must have invariably
been unsatisfactory especially to the
toads
Dressing a Hog
It is told of the late P D Armour
that on one occasion he made a present
of a suit of clothes to each of his em
ployees in a certain department Each
man was told that he might order his
own suit and send the bill to Mr Ar
mour no restrictions being made as to
price In order to avail himself fully
of this liberality one young man or
dered evening clothes costing S0
When the bill was sent in Mr Armour
sent for the clerk to vouch for its ac
curacy and nnuing it nglit assured
the man it would be paid As the clerk
was leaving however Mr Armour said
to him
I wish to say to you that I have
packed a great many hogs in my time
but I never dressed one before New

Aristocratic Ants
The slaveholding ants are of several
kinds and differ greatly in the manner
in which they treat their vassals Some
make them do all the work under the
direction of overseers others share
their labors while still others have
fallen into such habits of luxury as to
be unable or unwilling to wait upon 01
even to feed themselves and are car
ried about and provided with food by
their body servants In many edses
this sybaritism is the mere ostentatious
love of being served The incapacity is
not physical but moral and arises
from an aristocratic aversion to any
kind of menial labor
Missed tlie Lobby Barrel
Considerable amusement was caused
when the legislature first went into
session by a member from the counties
arriving and promptly asking to be
shown the lobby
When that place was pointed out to
him he nosed around for awhile and
then remarked in the hearing of some
bystanders
Ive been fooled he declared dis
gustedly They tole me I could find
a barl of money loose in the lobby
but I see now thet its a dinged lie
