Songs of the Frog

the ‘‘dpeary song of the frogs.” Per
haps in England the choral effects of
the frogs are sad, wearisome, a wet

I ONLY WAY |
TO HOLD A I
HUSBAND j
<© by D J. Walsh.*
IF THERE ever were two people
mismated by environment, it was
Blanch and Peter. Blanch is my
niece and hers had been a choco
late eclair upbringing. Peter came
from pioneer stock —hardy folks who
recalled living, during the grasshop
per invasion, on corn bread and “nig
ger heel.” .He hi d been raided on pan
dowdy, noodles, boiled dinners and
pie. So when Blanch gave him heaven
iy hash, and pond-lily salads, poor
Peter almost starved, and Blanch
scraped most of her expensive viands
into the garbage pail. She threw out
enough every meal to keep Henry
and me for a week.
Still, 1 didn’t feel to horn in till one
morning when Blanch came over look
ing like a gravestone.
“I’m leaving Peter,” she said.
“Who’s the Janie?” I asked calmly.
“Oh. it isn't that. Aunt Jen. Last
night was Peter’s birthday and 1 had a
lovely dinner. He didn’t come home
even. Phoned he had to stay down on
business. And my dinner gone to
wa-a-a-ste —”
“What did you have?” I demanded.
“Oh. caviare and a tulip salad —”
"Any gravy?”
“Gravy? Why. no. Eclairs and gin
gerbread.
“Angel food,” she said stiffly, “and
strawberries.”
“At t dollar a box,” I snorted.
“That isn’t all,” she went on tragic
ally. “This morning 1 happened to
pass a restaurant —a common, greasy
place. And there sat Peter with his
legs wrapped around a stool, eating
pie 1”
“Many a man,” I said tartly, “has
eaten pie and lived to tell the tale.”
“Common pie,” ignored Blanch —
“doesn’t likv my cooking—”
“What did you have for breakfast?”
“Oh, what’s the difference? 1 guess
we had corn flakes with fruit. And —
oh, yes, I forgot to order coffee.”
“I see. Expect a man to work all
morning on a dish of fodder. Why
don't you go home and cook him a
real meal once? Apple dumplings, pork
chops, turnips—”
“I'm not in the habit of living on
prison fare,” she wailed.
“No man cm live on whipped cream
and sawdust.” 1 said firmly. “Peter
is one man in a thousand. He has to
eat dowr own to keep body and soul
together. It’s a wonder you keep up on
Peter’s salary—”
“We can’t,” she interrupted. “We
had a scene this morning. Peter says
we re living beyond our means. That
we’re not saving a cent. But I can’t
keep the bills down. Aunt Jen, I be
lieve they cheat me. I order over the
phone. My grocery bill is about twenty
a week.”
“Henry would sue me for divorce,”
I ejaculated.
“Peter says I’ve got to run the house
on a hundred. He told me I could
have what 1 saved out of it for a
nestegg. But 1 can’t save a cent. And
if Peter’s going to crab about money
I’m going home, so there 1”
She burst into fresh weeping. Blanch
adored the ground he walked on.
“Blanch,” said 1, taking the bull by
the horns, firmly, “Helen of Troy
couldn’t have held a husband with
chocolate eclairs. It’s as true as the
fact that all men are at heart Mor
mons; that the way to their heart is
through their stomachs, ..ow I’ll
wager that Peter isn t staying down
town tonight on business. He’s just
getting a square meal somewhere,
maybe with some vamp.
Blanch looked at me coldly.
“Peter isn’t the kind to take his
stenographer out to meals,” she said,
drawing herself up. “He hasn’t gone
that far —”
“If he hasn’t he will,” 1 told her
grimly. “Men are all alike. Suppose
we play detective and find out. Not
that Peter wants to oe unfaithful but
—well —you’ve got to feed a man.
That’s a biological fact. And when
you don’t, why, they just naturally
gravitate toward the forbidden cooky
jar.”
“I wonder if you’re right,” mur
mured Blanch waveringly. Suddenly,
she ran to the closet and flung on a
hat. “Come on.” she said to me tense
ly. “He’s always talking about Hattie
King’s restaurant. If you’re sure about
your theory we’ll just go down and
see if lie’s there.”
“Put on an old raincoat,” 1 directed,
“and an old hat We don’t want him
to recognize us. We’ll just drift in and
ask for a sandwich and coffee and then
we'll see what we can see.”
So we set out. I will admit that
Hattie King’s restaurant looked in
viting on that cold, drizzling after
noon. It was homey and cheerful look
ing, and the windows had watermelon
pink check gingham curtains. There
was a delicious smed of hot ginger
bread in the air that reminded me of
mother’s kitchen when I was a little
girl. We sat down at a back table
close to a curtain that shut off the
rear.
And would you believe it, when this
Hattie King parted the curtain to take'
our order, who should be sitting before
a little round table set for two. but
Peter! Blanch saw him and half start
ed up but I stepped on her foot under
the taole. Hattie King brought us
our coffee and gingerbread, and then
She went back, nnd we heard them
talking. Peter’s voice was low. but
Hattie King’s was loud enough for us
to hear if wo lister-d it was a com
sortable olce. deep and rh-li and moth
erly.
THE BULLETIN. IRWINTON. GEORGIA.
I “Take another hunk of gingerbread
| —do,” . she urged. “There’s plenty
more where that came from. And now
what’s this about you and your wife
quarreling and she leaving you?" She
gave a low bubbling laugh. "Huh,
didn’t I sense that you wasn’t hlttin’ it
off the minute you come into my
place? Can't fool Hattie King.”
“Why, the great big vamp,” ejacu
lated Blanch. “She’s leading him on!”
But J strained my ears while Peter
uttered something away down in his
throat.
“Well, you come to the right place.
Boy, you sure did.” Again that throaty
chuckle. "She means all right but
she’s young and she don’t know men.
Os course,- your crazy about her, but
you don’t gibe. And she can’t cook —”
“I’m starving to death,” groaned
Peter. He rose from the table and
took out an old pipe. “MinJ if 1
smoke? Os course, you don’t. 1 ought
to go back but, by doggies, this is
homelike. I’m a cad to tell you hut I
couldn't help it. You’re so-so sort of
understanding."
Blanch stood up. 1 could see at a
glance that she had seen Peter leach
and take Hattie King’s big pudgy hand
in his. But I whispered “wait,” and
she sat down.
“Now listen, boy,” came in the big
comfortable voice, “you’re just a hun
gry kid, that’s all that ails you. Have
you told your wife what you told me?
Well, you go straight home and read
her the riot act. Tell tier the truth;
how you’ve been coming to my place
not because you’re a trifler, but be
cause you're just plain hungry. Tell
her if she wants that 1 should, I’ll
teach, her how to cook real, satisfyin
dishes. And tell her from Hattie King
that that's the only way to hold a
husband.”
I couldn’t stop Blanch now. She was
shooting right for the front door. 1
left the money on the check and fol
lowed her, looking back to see Hattie
King removing our dishes-. I couldn’t
keep up with Blanch at all. And she
didn t say one word. But I saw when
we passed the street lights that she
was crying.
That was a year ago. 1 was over just
last evening. Peter was purring like a
tomcat, stretched out on the mohair
davenport, with his feet on the cush
ions. I smelled cabbage. There was the
remains of a pot roast on the table,
and I caught a glimpse of a pan in
the oven partly filled with ginger
bread.
“Hello, Aunt Jen,” said Peter, swell
ing up like a poisoned toad. "Help
yourself to a piece of my wife’s ginger
bread. If you don’t find it the lamb’s
lettuce —”
“Peter,” demurred Blanch, with a
little blush. And talk about affinities!
You should have seen the look that
passed between them. It all goes to
show my contention that any wife has
it all over a vamp if she’s sensible
enough to show her hand. ,
Map Enables Blind
to Travel in Safety
It is reported from the British cap
ital that the most remarkable map of
London yet conceived is now content
plated for the use of the blind. It is
a map that will convey to the blind,
through the sensitive tips of their
fingers, a true mental impression of
the position of the main thoroughfares,
the principal places of interest along
those thoroughfares, and the means of
access to them. This map will be
“drawn” in relief and will consist of
a combination of dots and dashes, a
medium that has already provided for
the sightless what had before been
denied to them.
Already the blind of London are in
possession of the complete series of
plans of London’s underground rail
ways that are available for public use.
They are able, by the aid of 11 ent
bossed charts, to study in detail the
routes of each tube system, the Met
ropolitan and the district railways,
and can follow without any possibility
of error the complete inner circle or
the whole network of underground
services. There are even diagrams
demonstrating the construction of the
tubes, and the fact, not always real
ized by normally sighted passengers,
that a tube station is itself a tube,
only of much greater diameter than
that provided for the passage of the
cars between the stations.
To Evacuate Old City
Sybaris, ancient Greek town of south
Italy, whoich has provided all Euro
pean languages with a word expres
sive of licentious luxury, is to be
brought to light after 25 centuries
during which its very location was for
gotten. The extensive marshland
along that part of the gulf of Taranto
is to be reclaimed by the Italian gov
ernment at a cost of $16,000,000. Ex
perts have been detailed to watch for
tile buried city and a portion of the
allotted money will tie granted for the
excavation. Sybaris was destroyed in
the Sixth century B. (1. by its neigh
bor and rival. Croton, which altered
the course of a river in order to bury
it forever. Some archeologists believe
the excavations will supply valuable
(and perhaps scandalous) information
concerning daily life six centuries an
terior to Pompeii.

Says He Had Taken
a Wagon-Load
of Physics
“In November, 1920, I wrote you
for advice as to the use of Milks
Emulsion. I had been bothered with
my bowels for a long time. They
would not move unless I took some
thing all the time. If I neglected
that, I would get bedfast, dizzy and
take with fever.
“This is a malaria country, and I
have taken a wagon-load of purga
tives, salts, etc. This finally gave me
stomach trouble in very bad form, and
I commenced to lose weight, and had
no appetite. My tongue became so
coated that it cracked open.
“Since writing you, I have taken
your Emulsion regularly and have
found it a great remedy. It sure
does all you claim for it and more,
too. It is a fine medicine, and I will
gladly recommend it to anyone.
“We are now handling it in our

tions you gave and the results that I

“Death Chambers” in
Old Colonial Homes
In the American colonies in the
Eighteenth century the lugubrious
custom prevailed of setting aside one
room in spacious mansions for a
“death chamber.”
There was such a room in the mas
sive, square-sided house of General
Knox at Thomaston, Maine, before the
building was demolished a few years
ago. It was above the eastern dining
room, and with but one window it was,
indeed, dark and gloomy. The wall
paper was white with somber black
figures and a deep mourning frieze.
The Maine Daughters of the Amer
ican Revolution, in seeking data con
cerning the old mansion, a duplicate
of which is soon to be erected in
Thomaston as a memorial museum to
General Knox, have obtained a de
scription of the room.
References to these rooms are
meager in any writings pertaining to
those earlier days. Yet in the more
pretentious homes such chambers
were nearly always set aside. Be
tween deaths they were kept locked.
Horse Protected
A. very observing little miss of two
years was looking out of the window
one very cold day.
On seeing a horse protected with a
blanket, she exclaimed: “Look daddy,
the horsie has a ‘fetter’ on!” Mean
ing in grownup language, a sweater.
Something Free
“Were things very high at the sum
mer resort where you spent your va
cation?”
“Yes, very high for everything ex
cept fishing worms. A native let me
have all the worms I could find for
spading up half of his garden.”
Why does the average man swear
to love before marriage and love to
swear afterwards?

Pecan Crop Damaged
Hahira, Ga. —Owing to the recent
strong winds and heavy rains the
pecan crop in this section has been!
damaged more than 50 per cent. The:
nuts were large and heavy, lAit not]

and the limbs, large and small, and ini
many instances the entire tops were'
twisted off, and the nuts were thrash-'
ed off and covered under the drifting!
sands and therefore lost. The weight'
of the nuts, increased by the rains,i

siderable damage has been done the'
trees as well.

OLD FOLKS SAY
DR. CALDWELL
WAS RIGHT
The basis of treating sickness has not
changed since Dr. Caldwell left Medical
College in 1875, nor since he placed on
the market the laxative prescription he
had used in his practice.
He treated constipation, biliousness,
headaches, mental depression, indigestion,
sour stomach and other indispositions
entirely by means of simple vegetable
laxatives, herbs and roots. These are
etill the basis of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup
Pepsin, a combination of _ senna and
other mild herbs, with pepsin.
The simpler the remedy for constipa
tion, the safer for the child and for you.
And as you can get results in a mild
and safe way by using Dr. Caldwell’s
Syrup Pepsin, why take chances with
strong drugs?
A bottle will last several months, and
all can use it. It is pleasant to the
taste, gentle in action, and free from
narcotics. Elderly people find it ideal.
All drug stores have the generous bottles,
