FROGS ANSWER A BELL
Swim Ashore When They Hear the Sound
and Wait for Human Friends.
New York. "The first heavy
sheet-of ice has glazed Jewells
pond on Farmington avenue" says
a writer in the Hartford Courant
'and the bullfrogs have sunk to
the bottom burrowed in the mud
and will not be seen again until
the warm days.
"These amusing little water pets
have been trained by Mr- Jewell
and answer to the ringing of a cow
bell. They come to the surface
swim in the direction of the sound
mount the bank and wait there to
be fed- They have no fear and
can be picked up and examined by
any one who has the courage and
desire to become more familiar
with their clamminess. The first
that I heard of the pond was
through a neighbor's boy a little
chap of 8 who walked boldly up
to me and said:
'Will you please let me set my
mouse trap in your pantry?
"in vain I tried to assure' him
that I was not troubled with mice
but he pleaded and persisted: 'You
see I might catch just one and
then I'd get a nickel. The frogs
are out and us boys get 5 cents a
head for every mouse or English
sparrow that we can catch alive.
And there aint no mice in our
house' he added with a look
intended to excite sympathy.
"Two days later I met him
again. 'Fifty-five cents' he ex-
claimed jingling his pockets.
'Caught 'em in the barn seven
mice and five sparrows. Grover
Cleveland ate three at once. He
was gone before I could demand
an explanation as to why the name
of our only former President
should be so familiarly mingled
with English sparrows frogs and
nickels.
" 'Grover Cleveland is the big
green fellow' confided the sood-
uatured Scotch gardener with a
broad smile. 'He always manages
to get the biggest and the most-
Mr. Jewell named him. Mr Jewell
is a Republican.'
"Through the summer months
the hospitality of the garden was
extended to me and through it
lay .a short cut between the studio
and house so during the four daily
trips back and forth I managed to
see quite a little of the frogs and
their amusing ways. As I passed
through at noontime I used to
ring a little Swiss cow bell that
was kept in a summer house on
the edge of the pond and I soon
found that not onlj the frogs but
scores of little goldfish who had
learned that the bell meant a meal
of soda crackers would start from
every part of the pond and come
in the direction of the sound.
Whn the frogs reached the bank
they would scramble on to the
grass and sit in the middle of the
dirt path perfectly still and look
meek and dejected until some mo-
tion suggested mouse or sparrow.
"Once the air becomes chilly
not even food will Dring Mr.
Jewell's. water pets to- the surface.
On a cool day at the end of Sep-
tember I made several attempts to
get them to rise without success.
Just as I had given up hope the
neighbor's boy appeared.
'They won't come up no more
this year' he volunteered 'and I
am glad of it. I want the pond to
freeze over. I made S3. 15 out of
mice and sparrows and I am going
to buy skates.' "

AT HIGH FIVE.
Elegant Complimentary Entertainment
by Mrs. B. Creager.
At her home on Washington
street Monday afternoon Mrs. .R.
B. Creager tendered an elegant
afternoon entertainment to a larse
number of guests in compliment
to her mother Mrs. Terrell of
Terrell Texas who is spending
the winter with Mrs. Creager.
The parlors were adorned with
handsome ferns presenting a very
attractive appearance. A contest
at Progressive High Five provid-
ed the afternoon's amusement.
Dainty score cards representing
wild roses were distributed and
so soon as partners found each
other all became engrossed in the
game. At its conclusion it was
found that Mrs. John G. Fernandez
was the sole claimant for first hon-
ors and she was awarded the
prize a handsome bisque figure.
There were no . less than thirteen
claimants for second honors. On
cutting Mrs. Floyd Lay ton won
the prize being a pretty and artistic
plaque. Mrs. Neale was consoled
for the worst luck of all receiving
a dainty cup and saucer.
Tempting refreshments were
served consisting of delicious
chicken pate cheese sandwiches
stuffed olives and coffee.
All voted it a most delightful
afernoon -ahd returned many
thanks to their charming hostess
for the pleasure which she had
given. Mrs. Creager was assisted
in the duties of hostess by Mrs.
F. A. Creager and Miss Gladys
Rentfro. Besides Mrs. Terrell
the guest of honor the participants
included Mesdames Loew Cain

COAST COUNTRY LANDS.
Wallace Finds an Obstacle in Precipitate
Advance in Prices.
A recent dispatch from Houston
sayaj
Mr. James A. Wallace of Chi-
cago has returned to this city and
is making headquarters at the Rice.
This is' not his first visit by sev-
eral which explains the truth that
he has a large circle of friends in
the Coast Country of Texas. Dur-
ing his other visits he consum
mated deals in large tracts of
hand in the lower Coast country
that resulted in immigration to
and improvement in the territory.
He is now here on another big
deal and it is p-obable that more
good will be done the State. In
speaking of handling lands he to-
day said:
"Southwestern Texas the Coast
Country is the best place in Amer-
ica today in which to do things.
This is for several reasons. The
attention of the moneyed men. of
the country is turned to this sec-
tion and lands are in reach that
will generally please the prospec'
live purchaser. Something ot an
olstacle arises occasionally through
the course of the landowner in
raising the price on what he had
been asking upon learning that
the land was being sought. - The
obstacle is not so much the price
demanded but the sudden increase
upon the previously known price.
However that may be overcome
in many cases and a really stiff
growth in homes may be looked
for in the next few years." '.

TRIBUTE TO TEXAS.
The Land of Unlimited Opportunities and
Unequaled Resources.
to Texas was paid by "Prpf. J C.
Monogham in an address recently-
delivered by him befo're the Texas
Society at Washington D. C.
"in the time I shall take tonight
I have au easy and delightful task-
I am going to talk to you about
this land of unlimited opportuni-
ties. A German who sojourned
for some days among us wrote of
it and talked of it as a land of
unlimited possibilities. I like to
look upon it as a land full of op-
portunities full of people looking;
not for possibilities but for op-
portunities a people willing to
work and looking for opportuni-
ties to work. But there is a bet-
ter reason for rejoicing on my part
tonight. I am going to talk tc
Texans about Texas. That is like
talking to a lover of his lady or tcr
a lady of her lover. It is fitting
too that this talk should grow out
of and follow my talk of a few
weeks ago on Missouri; for the?
two States have much in common-
notably a love for learning high
character among its men and wo
men stern unbending unyielding
tendency towards the deal in every
line of life's work. If for no oth
er reason than this their names
should be linked together but
there is another not a better rea
son perhaps for putting them side
by side but a good reason. Many
of the men who helped to make
makers in Texas in times when
good shooting went a. long way
towards making mark. They were
