Rome hud her great aquatic reservoirs and waterways, but she had nothing to compare with our great north frog nontls and nollv- wog hatcheries, where until they are drain i d and uboli-hetl we can produce more mi asmutie breezes, twin pollywogs and double yoiked eggs to the square toot than Rome could to the yard. That we can beat old Rome on this point we are positive. (Only our ext nunc modesty checked us from add ing thai we could almost do it on a competi tive display of art islic furniture) but what il we do outnumber Homo in some tilings and resemble her in others, we shall strive to do -o no longer, liawley vilie is no imitator. Whht care we for arenas and Colloseums, and sculptured walls and chariots of gold, and gatef- of bronze, and tribute to C;esai ?

It levealM a drooping trade with them and brings in a little ready money. II s an easy thing to do, because at the cut rates the ordinary profit is made. What the profit was at the old rates can easily be figure 1. We don't do that kind of business. Our profits are based on a fair return on the investment and our prices are as low and in souk; in stances lowerthan the much ad- ertised cut rates. Rut it Isn't always what you pay for I he goods that, counts. Ii's the quality. Kirst class turuitin'eor carpets are worth more, at ft higher prlee than a second-class at a lower one.

It lias '"been proven'' that the bull frog is a bird. Two travelers of Irish descent were weary ami dry and without a cent in their pockets. They strained their wits to "get something" at the next ho tel. Pat says, "Eureka, I have it 1 Here's this frcg, 1 will tell the landlord it's a bird. lie'i! say it's a frog. I'll bet the drinks it's a bird and leave it to the first man that comes in. Pat. you be ready to eorue in when I signify." They got what they wanted, if not what they needed. Eut we haven't a doubt but what those old strapping bull frogs in Charles War ner's pond think they can beat a bobolink at singing. We hear them every Dight half a mile distant competing with the whippoorwill and all the little frogs and toads. Nature is full of fun, as full as she is of trouble. There is real, exquis ite enjoyment here, if you have "Sharp Eyes" and ears. tj. W. li. Principal W. II. Hoyt of the Academy left town Monday afternnon for the sum mer vacation.
