Robt. Holmes, a miner on the Ger
man, met with an accident last night
while coming out of the shaft. He
was riding on top Of the bucket and
the heel Of his left foot became
wedged between the bucket and a
roller. Fortunately for Mr.. Holmes,
he has small foot (not much larger
than Cinderella's,) which is all that
saved him from losing the Trilby. AS
it was, several laps of skin were torn
from the heel and Mr.. Holmes was
unable to walk to work today.

the chief officials Of the largest city in
this country are seen and heard in the
active process of administration. II
Is hoped that similar records will now
be made by other officials Of the Uni
ted States. ..-
What a much more simple matter 1t
will be for future generations to refer
to the record Of a talking movie" in
stead Of struggling through large and
dusty volumes for historical data. The
idea offers unusual possibilities in the
field of comparative administration. Po-
litical asitators and those who are
hopeful for the best possible govern
ment for this country will have their
information at their finger tips YER
batim. and IL the other countries will
only follow the example set by the Uni
ted States In using the kinetophone in
like manner. 1t will not be difficult
directly to compare constitutional mon-
archies. republics. and empires.
The value of the work of the kineto-
phone in making a record for historical
preservation has been indorsed by the
leading men of the nation. Former
President Taft is at the head of the
Modern Historical Records Association,
and during his lifetime the late j. Pier
pont Morgan gave this body his sup
port.
The pictures of Mayor Gaynor and his
cabinet are being exhibited in Chases

surrounded by his cabinet, each OF
whom, in turn. makes a short address
telling of the work of his own particu-
lar department. Every little detail of
intonation and gesture is vividly por-
trayed by the Edison kinetophone and
the picture is of unusual interest, not
only to the student of civic affairs. but
to the public in general
OF no less educational value are the

He has plenty to eat. because he car

all he has to do is sleep. Oh. dear. how
wish I could live in a cave"
You better be satisfied where vol

fine time walking about on land with
your legs. Why. a dog would catch
you without half trying. or a boy who
was looking for your hind legs would
pounce upon you quick enough you will
find II you leave this pond"

Buster blinked and thought, and the
more he thought the more he could live
on the land. so ne waited until II was
past time for frogs to go to bed and
then he hoped along the log on which
he had been sitting and soon he was
on the bank of the pond.
He had been there often, SO he felt
very brave and looked about without
the least fear. After n while he hcpped
further away from the pond. He could
hear the other frogs croaking. but he
did not answer them. he had deter
mined to live on land and give up pond
life
He hoped and hoped until he was
so far from the pond he could hear Only
a faint sound of the croaking. This is
more like living said Buster. Il will
sleep by this tree until morning, and
then I can see where / should like to
make my home
But he could not go to sleep: he want
ed water to make him cool. his legs
were stiff from hopping 30 far and he
was painting for water. but there was
only the trees and rocks. and poor Bus
ter was beginning to think the land
would not be such a fine place for him
to live after all.
He tried to hop back to his pond but
his legs refused to work. and he sat
down wondering what would become OF
him. when he felt something wet on his
head. He blinked and then felt another
wet place on his back, and then the
water come all over him. 1t was rain
