"it was terrible," an English officer

"But." protested a Canadian officer.
'tbat’s the way we have to build it up.
A Canadian soldier has no illusions

private life. and he knows what they
are worth."
But the English officer shook his
head sadly. “You haven't got our idea
at all," he lamented. “A private sol-

viduality. His only duty is to obey his
superiors."

THE FAITHFUL_FROG.
Stories of faithful dogs and of
;horses mourning for their dead man-
! ters may take a back seat in the pros-
ence of a remarkable frog tale told by
an amateur naturalist of New York
city. lie avers that the following pa-
thetic event occurred during his vaca-
tion last summer at Raugely Lake, Me.
As the narrator and his camping
1 partner walked along the shore of the
[lake they often observed two large
frogs sunning themselves on the shore
One day the partner threw a stone at
tbdm.‘ and crushed one to death
The next day the naturalist observ-
ed the remaining frog sitting motion.
liess beside the dead one at the edge
of the water. The next. day and the
next the survivor still kept vigil.si1-
ting beside his dead mate with never
sign of life. At the end of a week
teh naturalist called his friend's at
tentlon to the frog's odd behavior.
The frog- murderer thereupon pick.
ed up a long stick and with the end of
it. flipped the corpse into the lake in-
stantly the motionless frog made a
lightning plunge into the water. sailed
the body of his mate and dragged it
back upon dry land. than resumed his
vigil.
There you have the yarn. Believe
it or not, as you like. if it‘s true, it
deserves immortality along with Mark
Twain‘s “Jumping Frog" story.

THE PRICE OF AMBASSADOR.

David Jayne Hill. who used to be
American ambassador to Germany, in
an article in tiorper's Magazine. tells
this story: ‘
A wealthy American living abroad.
and trying vainly to break into for-
eign society. was asked by a member
of the diplomatic corps at Berlin. "Why
don't you return to your country and
buy an ambassadorshlp?"
The Question, apparently sincere.
caused a painful silence. The wealthy
American laughed awkwardly and said
nothing. Ambassador Hill. however,
filled with resentment, turned to the
questioner and asked, "How much
does an ambassadorship cost in your
country?" - . - .
“Thirty years of prayious service."
replied the foreigner calmly. There
was nothing thereto say.“
