A MUoH-TRAvELED TOAD.
And Very Singular Specimen of tha

The domestic toad. as he has been

world have cared TO wander so far from
his own toadstool, but what can one ak
pect OF toad with an ossified skull, and
which has ball bearings for Joints and
never grows any teeth Now the name
OF CHS interesting creature is Pima Amer
icana, and he is known also to naturalists
as the Surinam toad. When you stand
ana watch him closely, the naturalist
quietly suggests that Mr. Toad shows the
most interesting development OF Batra-
chan reptiles; and when he says this. il
Is best TO agree with him, for II you get
into an argument with him he will spring
at least ninety-nine Latin names on YOU.
In addition 10 his ossified skull and his
Gallo tongue, this Pipa American has a
leather boown color like dress suit case.
When he arrived at Wards Museum or
Natural History almost everything but
his color was removed from him, and the
empty void therein was filed with all
sorts OF chemical preparations to preserve
his toadship in all his pristine peculiari-
ties Then he was mounted and stuffed
and that sort Of thing, and sent on his
way rejoicing TO Princeton University.

ner glass case in the department Of nat
ural history.
The Surinam toad Is q very rare trims,
according TO the naturalists, and people
who have seen 1t will be very glad to be-
heve them. His two hind feet are very
broadly webbed, and his two front fees
are more especially shaped for jumping.
The most remarkable fact about him is
that the female Of the species matches her
young from eggs that are laid on her
back The yolk Of these eggs is some
times one-quarter Of an inch in diameter,
and Mrs. Ripa Americana has been known
TO have from 40 TO ia eggs. The diet OF
this toad is very similar 10 that of other
toads, consisting Of ants, mosquitoes and
an occasional lightning bug
There is big book at the museum
which tells all about this toad, but the
story was accepted with a grain OF salt
until the toad got there himself Then
Mr.. Ward and his workmen believed it
all, and more, too.

And this from lines to "a Bunch Of

The world outside these prison walls

And flowers waste their sweet perfume

Or waste a single thought on him
In solitude that dwell?

Since from old stafford strayed.

And the home where in boyhood played.

The Observer finds that Providence bus
mess men about the city are paying more
attention nowadays, than ever before,
to their advertising. This is not alone
due to tie fact that the world has ad-
vanced recently in the study of sdvertis-
ing as one of the fine arts, but also TO the
fact that the times have made it necessary
to watch ell expenditures closely-the
advertising OF goods as well as the buying
OF them. More care is taken in buying
space, in selecting mediums, in preparing
the Advertising matter, and many Of the
larger houses have almost unconsciously
perhaps, allowed their advertising to
gradually. become q department by itself,
In charge of some young fellow who has
. natural taste that way. OF course that
is the system In use in all large general
advertising houses where the advertising
department In not infrequently as big
as, or bigger than the producing depart
ment. The Advertising manager, IL he
is interested and capable, ought to be
worth Q good percentage of the appro-
priation expended annually for advertis-
ing.
1t 10 not always easy. however, to find
the right man as most of the heads of
successful local houses have built up the
business by the help OF q natural talent
for advertising and cannot easily train
any of their employees to fill their shoes
one by one, the work of different depart
msnts, including the advertising, has to
be left TO different "heads."

deuce can you broilan egg ?"
The Observer asked the restaurant man
about this and the restaurant man said !:
"Simple enough. Just lay a sheet OF
paper over the broiler and grease the
paper. Then drop the egg you
are going TO broil on the
creased paper. Hold over a slow fire,
and by the time the paper is burned up
the egg will be firmly enough broiled
to take care of itself until finished to
taste. A broiled egg is simply delicious, !"

PROCEED BY LAWFUL METHODS.

The endeavors of some hot-headed
partisans to involve the people of Utah
in Improbable strife we believe will
prove to be futile. Democracy and Re-
publicanism have been struggling for
supremacy and wherein they have re-
| sorted to legitimate methods the con-
test is all right. But what is proposed
now by certain Republican agttators is
all wrong.
They want to see unlawful means
used to effect a partisan purpose. Every
rational person of either party should
quietly but emphatically sit down on
such attempts. 1t is natural that we
should want 'our party" to win; it
would be shameful to try to gain the
victory by force. That would be about
as bad as an effort to gain it by fraud.
The position taken by some folks,
worked UP to it by some Republican
papers, appears to be that whatever
the precinct canvass has declared must
be taken as final. That all the canvass
ing board for the entire returns have to
do is to count up what the others have
done and declare the result. That is to
say, they are only to perform sum
in simple addition, announce the totals
and close up business. If anything is
done by way Of investigation so as to
determine the respective rights of can
didates as they may be affected by the
returns, the defeated persons are ex-
horted to do something not exactly de-
fined, but understood to be belligerent
and revolutionary, ana the people are
melted to join in and stand by them
in what they do.
Now, all that is merely incendiarism
and bor1bast. 1t is very wild and wick
ed advice. The law provides a remedy
for every wrong that may have been
done or attempted, and it is only by
legal methods that the rights claimed
by either party should be fought for
We have nothing to say against any
thing of that kind from any person
who claims to have suffered wrong.
The Herald favors and will favor full
investigation into every alleged i'm
propriety connected with the election.
1t will aid in the exposure and punish
ment of corruption in election affairs.
It will do its part in securing the
rights of every candidate irrespective
of his politics or creed. And it will be
found on the side of law and order
and not of riot and popular fury.
We invite the attention of our blus-
terfng contemporaries who are inn
patient at the idea Of a recount, to the
Utah election law. which makes it the
