MYSTERY SOLVED.


Last Summer Mr.. j. w. Sud-
lett had quite a thrilling ex-
perience with frogs.
His wife had 2 fine lot of fry
ing chickens, and every evening
when the flock came up some of
them were missing; also the cow
came home looking as if she had
been fresh MIXED.
Mr.. Sublett was puzzled and
almost at his wits end, but he
determined to solve the mys-
FERROUS disappearance of the
chickens and the milking of the
COW.
Aiming himself with a shotgun
he set out to watch the chickens.
They wandered around for awhile
until they came to a large pond
in the field, a few hundred yards
from the house. One of the
chick ems went down to the waters
edge to drink, when suddenly a
monster frog appeared on the
surface of the water, and Selling
the chicken dragged it under
water before Mr.. S. could use his
gun. The disappearance of the
chickens was solved, but the
milking of the cow was yet a
mystery.
Mr.. Sublett hurried home and
related his thrilling experience
to his family. His blood was up
and he determined to get even
with that frog or die in the
attempt.
He reloaded his gun putting a
heavy load Of buckshot in each
barrel and wended his way back
to the pond. Judge his surprise
on reaching it to find his cow
standing quietly in the edge of
the water and the monster frog
sucking like yearling calf. He
Gained himself and waited until
the frog was through, then the
monster hoped out on dry land
to sun.
Bracing himself, Mr.. Sublett
turned loose with both barrels,
his aim was true; both charges
struck the frog, killing him in
stantly.
He carried the frog to the
house cleaned him, and such was
the size of the monster. that the

Symbolizing Alha mbra's claim as the
gateway of the San Gabriel valley. the
entry from Alhambra was one of the
most interesting of those from visiting
towns, and was much admired. From
a bed of grass and ferns arose a large
arch of masonry over which clambered
luxurfant rose vines and glossy leaved
English ivy. Filling in the spaces be-
tween che green leaves were pure white
Gala lilies, Alllambra's own flowers, 1000
of these flowers having been used. Roses
and other flowers were also used about
the archway.
Within the arch was a painting eleven
feet long showing the roadway down the
famous Alhambra valley Standing in
inches about the arch were twelve fig
ures, two mathematical of the early Span
ish days and two typifying the Anglo
Saxon days of the present. There were
eight figures, two of whom represented
art, two music, two agriculture and two
horticulture. They wore flowing Grecian
robes and held symbols appropriate to
their representation.
The four white horses wore harness
bound in pale green and trimmed in
flowers. Two Moorish outriders, Al
Boydston and Mr.. Quirros, accompanied
the float and Mr. Wilson occupied the
drivers seat.
The young women riding were Misses
Sadie Hanley, Elizabeth Cooley Edith
Hanley, Jennice Starkman, Berenice
Dempster, Elsie Warren, Alice Hudson,
Edith Haldeman. Frances Donohue, Hazel
Langsford, Vera Utter and Helen Law
son.

the aggressive nature grasped the
sharp stick of reform.

in numbers the family of the famous

Redondo's Entry

Spouting carnation perfume twenty.
five feet into the air, the whale of the
Redondo Beach chamber of commerce
proved to be one of the most unique
and popular entries in the parade. The
monster leviathan of the sea plowed
his way through the streets propelled
by an automobile. The whale was
forty one feet long, twelve feet high,
fifteen feet in circumference, and with
fiippers measuring seven feet across.
One hundred gallons of perfume were
used during the parade.
The body of the huge animal was
composed of the glossy green leaves of
the Fiscus Elastica, or rubber, plant,
20, 900 of which were used. The f1ippers
and tail were formed of red carana-
tions.
Over 1000 red carnations were used
in making the inside of the lower jaw
of the monster, while white carnations
and pampas plumes were used on the
upper jaw, the pampas plumes hanging
from the roof of the mouth making an
excellent imitation of whalebone.
The spray dashed up by the whale
was formed by the use of thousands of
large white carnations, while 500
pounds of asparagus plumosus ferns
were used in initiating the water.
