Thousands CT Fighting Frogs.

A desperate battle recently took
place in a valley in Ojimura, in the
Horima prefecture, between two ar
mics of frogs.
A corps of about 1000 frogs took
up a strong position at the entrance
to the valley, and were attacked by
an invading army in two divisions OF
5000 each.
The battle began at 9 in the morn
ing. and continued amid an lnde-
scribable scene of hustle and noise Of
croakings until 10 next day.
There were many interested spec
tators of the unusual spectacle, and
amid great excitement the invaders
ousted the defending army and over.
ran the valley, croaking their triumph
as they went.
More than 700 frog warriors were
killed and 1000 wounded.
The method Of warfare adopted by
the frogs was to jump at each other
fercely, and snap and bite until NOR
tai injuries were inflicted or they be-
came exhausted.

Negligee Jacket For Embroidery.

Negligees made from embroidered
flouncing are among the latest and
prettiest devices of the season and
are exceedingly attractive This one
is combined with a yoke Of wide in
sertion and frills of embroidery but
there are a great many variations
that can be evolved from the design.
In addition to the founcing it can be
made from any bordered material as
the lower edge is quite straight, but
it's usefulness is not limited even to
them and any plain material can be-
utilized if appropriate trimming be
added. The slightly open neck and
the elbow sleeves are both attractive
and healthful, while the general
style is an extremely graceful one at
the same time that perfect simplicity
is maintained. If yoke Of embroid-
cry is not desired, the plain material

GRISWOLD ALIVE
Attorney. for Insurance Companies
Put Forth Substitution Theory in
Combating Claims for Griswo'd In

Surance.
Des Moines, April 25.-In defending
the suit commenced against the Mod
ern Brotherhood Of America by the
George r. Griswold estate, the de-
fense. which is represented by Dowell
e. Parish, will make the sensational
contention that the body taken from
the Des Moines river with hands tied
behind it's back was not the remains
of the Des Moines insurance man. The
case will not come up for hearing prob
ably until the September term of court.
This defense has been outlined by the
attorneys for the insurance company,
however. and evidence to bear upon
this point is now being accumulated.
1t will be c0ntended that the body
taken from the river was polluted and
never was positively identified as the
remains of George Griswold. The law
vers will introduce evidence to show,
they claim, that the suit of clothes on
the body was similar to, If not the
same, bought by Griswold for a few
dollars before his mysterious disap-
nearance. 1t will be contended that
he never wore this class of clothes
and must have bought it for purpose.
They will claim purpose was to place
il upon the corpse of some other per-
son to give out the information That
he had been drowned.
