FROGS ARE CANNIBALS.
A Fact for Anglers to Remember When
 Their Bait Disappears

A recent experience of c. W. Hoden other anglers who write to sporting goods stores from fishing resorts and order frogs in tens of dozens.
 Hodell was in the Georgian Bay coun- try. where the red-eyed bass were bit ing hard at frogs, but not taking any thing else. He telegraphed in for ten dozen frogs, and they came promptly "a beautiful lot of green frogs of all sizes in perfect condition, not a dead one in the bunch.
 He was especially pleased by some three or four dozen of little fellows not larger than the. first joint of a mans thumb, the ideal size of frog for the small-mouthed bass. He knew that he could take these infants, hang them on a Bing hook which carries a No. ? spoon, and with them yank red-eyes from the vasty deep until he got enough and more than enough. He went to bed filled with happy dreams of the things that were to happen on the morrow.
 The next morning he took a supply of frogs and started out. It struck him that there were not so many frogs as on the night before, but he did not be iiSNt lIieil ally DOuy dIOuuu the nOlel would steal them and thought that pos sibly he might be mistaken. He caught some bass and returned late in the afternoon.
 Examining his frog trap he found that his supply had dwindled percepti- bly. He could not explain it, and was worried
 Rising early the next morning he again looked at the frogs, and was pained to discover that he had not more than a dozen of the little ones left. He had not used more than half a dozen of them. He could find no hole or crack in the trap which would permit them to escape. He was mysti- fled and grieved.
 Then even as he looked his problem was solved. With a satisfied croak. which said as plainly as English could say it: This is a good thing" one of the big frogs hopped forward three inches, opened it's mouth, seized a lit tie frog and swallowed it.
 Hodell stood staring. Another big frog swallowed another little frog. This process was continued till only one frog was left and with one mighty gulp he swallowed himself.-Exchange.

OBJECTED TO UNEARNED TITLE.

John W. Griggs, while attorney-gen- eral under President Mckinley, broke long established precedent in his de- partment. He determined to break his callers of the habit they had of ad- dressing him as General
 "I have no claim on the military title" said MT. Griggs.
 One insistent politician paid no heed to the attorneys request. He consider ed General q good jolly, and by this means persuaded MT. Griggs. as he thought to find position for a friend MT. Griggs found position.
 How does your friend like his job?" asked the presidents legal adviser, a few days later.
 When l told him what you offered said the politician, "he turned up his nose. Haven't you something better for him, general?"
 "I have" and the attorney general smiled as does a man whose opportun- ity has come, but I cannot offer it. If this position has turned your friends nose, better will turn his head
 Thereafter the politician and his friend referred to him as MT. Griggs.- Denver Republican.

EDUCATIONAL QUERY.

To the Editor of The Republican Sir: The taxpayers of Phoenix precinct No. have been asked to increase the school fund that the schools may be improved and new studies added to the curriculum.
 At d meeting held in the First M E.. church on the night of May 9th, called by the board of trustees and Superin- tendent McDonnold, speeches were made on the necessity of more money with which to run the schools. Pro- lessor McDonnold urged the citizens to go to the board of supervisors in per son and urge them to raise the per capita rate from $25 to 80 or to in crease the taxes 10 cents He also stated that there would not be money enough to close the school without in debtedness. Now in view or the above statements. 1 wish to ask d few ques- tions for my own and the public's en- ligntenment.
 First-Why a shortage last year when for six or seven years previous We have had money enough to conduct our schools and make them the equal to any in the west and to have them rank among the best in the land and for at least three years close with over S3,000 in the fund or enough to have employed the five teachers asked for?
 Second question is that in view of the shortage complained of, why should the school board give to the teachers Si5 each as vacation fund? If it is to send them to summer schools where does the board get its authority for educating teachers? Whoever heard ot such expenditure of the school fund .? Is not this a misuse of the school money? l am proud of my acts while eight years a member of the Union High school board because l always favored raising the salaries to reach the best service. But if I found We had a teacher incompetent we tried to do better next time, but never thought it our duty to pay for their education by sending them away to school
 I am also proud of the fact that Ari- zona is third in point of high salaries paid teachers. But it looks bad from more than one standpoint that We have to pay for the education of our teach CTS. We employ about twenty six teachers. giving each S15 extra over and above their salary means a misappro- priation of s1.95O of the school fund which should go toward the employ ment of competent teachers.
 Third question, what will people in other places think of our teachers hay ing to be sent off by the board at pub lie expense to complete their education while many of us thought they were first class. It certainly casts a shadow over our teachers they do not deserve.
 Fourth question, in view of the above stated facts how many citizens and taxpayers does the school board expect to appear before the honorable board of supervisors to advise raising the tax rate.
 As a taxpayer and one ever interest ed in the welfare of our schools these things come to my mind and, with many others, I would like some light on the situation. Respectfully,
 H. A. HUGHES.
