NEXT: You appear abstracted-- worried about something?
 VICTIM: Yes; l am trying to cipher out problem in cycling.
 BARBER: What is it?
 VICTIM: You noticed the score in the bicycle race on July 4th?
 THE OTHER: No.
 VICTIM: One of the Rodriguez boys was handicapped four minutes for the Other-that is he started -four minutes behind his brother. He made the run in forty-eight minutes, while his brother took fifty-three. Now, he should have passed his brother, shouldn't he, and come in one minute ahead of him?
 ALL: Of course.
 VIcTIM: We'll he dicn't; and his brother got s5 out of the purse, while he got only s2.5O.
 NEXT: Well; it was all in the fam fly anyhow.

 NEXT: Why doesn't the Nogales town board fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Mayor Proto?
 BARBER: Because they cannot get a quorum to act. Gebler won't attend their meetings, and Martins resigna- tion leaves them without quorum.
 VICTIM: But thought they had it all fixed.
 BARBER: How?
 VICTIM: Why, it was stated that it, was arranged for Martin to withdraw his resignation and attend one meet ing, voting to accept Proto's resigna- tion and fill his place on the board with W. N. Cummings. Then Martin could renew his resignation, it would be accepted and the vacancy filled by electing D. E. Mccullough.
 THE OTHER MAN: Then, what were they going to do?
 VICTIM: Levy tax, collect it and pay of the indebtedness on the Gro BlancO road.
 NEXT: But the town board cannot, appropriate money for expenditure out of town.
 BARBER: That's question. Some say they can; others say they cannot.
 VICTIM: We'll; they propose to test the question in that way; if any tax payer is dissatisfied let him enjoin payment.
 THE OTHER MAN: Then, without a quorum in the board they cannot act. and how is the indebtedness of the Orc Blanco road to be settled?
 NEXT: It looks to me very much as if the men who incurred the debt will have it to pay?
 ALL; How?
 NEXT: Why whoever signed the note to Oscar Gebler will have that to pay; and those who bought the provi sions, tools, etc., will have to settle those bills. believe it will come to. that in any event. An injunction rom some taxpayer against appropri- ation of tax money to that purpose would, believe, bring out that sort of a decision.
 THE OTHER MAN; But if they can't get quorum, and levy a tax and col lect it, how is the injunction method to be made to work?
 NEXT: Let Oscar Gebler sue on his note, and the others on their accounts. VICTIM: A better way would be by a petition to disincornorate. The court would immediately inquire into

 municipal debt it would order tax levied and collected to pay them. If not debt of that nature it would say so, and very likely would indicate who would have it to pay.
 BARBER: But the programme you have all been talking is obsolete, there is another, and later one.
 ALL: What is it?
 BARBER: Fred Herrera and Captain Mix are to go onto the board and try to straighten out things.
 NEXT: They can't do it. BARBER: Do you mean to say the town can beat the debts justly in- cured on the Orc Blanco road?
 Next: Certainly, if those incurring them had no authority to do so. VICTIM: Well; am in favor of paying those debts, but object to the method.
 THE OTHER MAN: We'll if there is any legal way of fixing up the muddle, Mix and Herrera will find it.
 .t. BARBER: l see that the Phoenix papers are trying to kick up an inter- national difficulty over the killing of Tribolet.
 VICTIM: So it seems. However, don't think it will amount to much.
 NEXT: Not even if it is proved that Tribolet was killed without warrant or authority?
 VICTIM: It will be found on due investigation that he was killed in ac- cordance with Mexican law The law over there is different from that in the United States. By Mexican law any one committing highway robbery, robbing a train, burning railroad bridge, stealing links and pins out of railway cars, carrying off spikes and rails from the track, or tearing down | telegraph wires, is to be shot; and the officer making the arrest is made by the law judge, jury and executioner. That is the law of Mexico; and when the United States goes to monkeying with the Mexican authorities on the Tribolet case, the state department will very likely be informed that Mex ico makes her own laws and executes them without let CT hindrance from the United States.
 THE OTHER MAN: It is A mighty | good law; and if we had one like 1t in the United States there would be fewer highway and train robberies.
 NEXT: But how inhuman to take out men and shoot them without trial , VICTIM: You forget how inhuman is the robber who assails you on the highway or ditches train to rob it's passengers.
 TIE OTHER MAN: Yes: and have noticed that whenever Mexican law has reached out it's iron hand it has generally got hold of the right men.
 BARBER: But will not Tribolet's American citizenship make a differ ence?
 VICTIM: Why should it? He went to Mexico with his eyes open, and in that very act consented to abide by Mexican law. The United States can- not we'll interfere because he fell un- der it's ban.
 THE OTHER MAN: There is doubt of his American citizenship. He owned land within, the sixty mile limit south of the international boundary, within which none but citizens of Mexico can hold land without spe- cial concession from the general gov Continued on eighth pageJ

Frog With -Four Wings.

The curiosity OF. tropical Africa is the
wonderful flying frog, first described by
Bishoff Of the Equatorial African expedi-
ton, which returned TO Europe in the fall
about the size of a common bulfrog and
resembles other members Of the order of
each of which is webbed and enormously
enlarged, so much so as TO form splendid
substitutes for true wings. The creature
has five toes on each of the other two
which make four separate membranes on
each of its hind feet and three on each
fore feet. or fourteen in all, In his de-
scription of 1t Bishoff says: Each leg
terminates In a sort of fan and with these
the little reptile paddles the air like a
locust. or like partially hedged bird test
ing its pinions for the first time"
Although somewhat awkward in its
flight, the winged frog can dart through
the air at speed OF about 10 yards
per second, and can keep itself going for
ward at that rate for from 10 TO Is seconds
The average distance covered by these
spurts Of ,grasshopperlke hight is from Is
10 l25 yards; but Bishoff mentions Instances
where. the flying frog cleared sandy
stretches 200 yards In width
