What a Toad Enjoys.

There are few things more amusing
than to watch a toad submittingEto the
operations of back scratching. He
will at first look somewhat suspicious
~ at the twig which you are advanc-
ing toward him. but after two or three
passes down his back, his manner un-
dergoes a marked change. his eyes
close with an expression of infinite
rapture, he plants his feet wider apart.
and his body swells out to nearly dou-
bic it's ordinary size, as if to obtain
by these means more room for enjoy
ment. Thus be will remain until you
make some sudden movement which
startles him or until he has had as
much petting as he wants. when, with
a puff of regretful delight, he will re-
duce himself to his usual dimensions
and hop away. bent once more on the
pleasures of the chase.

new condition of affairs must be met

illegal to traffic in the saleaof liquor.

FORCING THE SALOONS TOQulT.

The impending blow has fallen
and there does not. appear to be any
avenue of escape left for the saloons
which have been doing business in
the restricted district" A saloon
that can't purchase liquor is in just
about the same predicament as a
fish dropped from the clouds on a
desert.
It hasn't needed a very careful
student to discover that a certain
number of officials Of the Indian
bureau of the department of the
Interior was determinedLto 4put@ the
liquor houses out of commission,l one
way or another. The method
adopted is quite as effective : as
though agents had puteao paddock on
every saloon: * j.. .. ~. ..@
OF course the liquor dealers have
had numerous warnings Of what to
expect and when a man paid over
his money for "a liquor license be
must have known that it was a
gamble as to whether he would ever
get it back. So ,t-~ a..@
