Paddy the Beaver listened To all that

and the Smiling Pool
You see We who liT. in the Smiling

cluded Jerry MGskrat That = why

There was a twinkle il the eyes Of
Paddy the Beaver as he replied: We'll.

YOU and can stop you, what are YOU geins
to do about it,
II don't know" said Jerry Muskfat,
sadly. Y don't see what We can do about
it. OF course YOU are big and strong and
can do just as you please. but IT doesn I
seem right that we who have lived here
SO long should have to move and 20 away
from all tnat we love SO just because
YOU a stranger, happen TO want TO 1--we

him. Couldn't you come down ana I'VE
in the Smiling Pool with Us? I'm sure
there is room enough.
Paddy the Beaver shook his head.
No he said. and Jerry's heart sank.
No | can't do that because there ism

Before Jerry realized what he was
going to do. Paddy the Beaver dlved
into the pond and AS he disappeared his
broad tail hit the water such slap that
it made Jerry jump. Then there began
:, great disturbance down under water.
In y few minutes; up boEoed a stick and
then another and another, and the water
grew SO muddy that Jerry couldn't see
what was going on. Paddy was gone a
hon. time Jerry wondered now he could
stay under water SO long without air. All
the time Paddy was just fooling him He
would come up to the surface. stick his
nose out nothn. more, fill his lungs with
fresh air and go down aga'n.
Suddenly Jerry Muskrat heard a sound

IS UNDISMAYED.
Determined to Continue on
Trail of Graft Despite Re-
fusal of Gov. Glynn to Ap-
point Him Deputy Atty.
General of New York.

New York, Dec. 22.-Notwithstanding
Governor Glynns refusal to appoint him
a special deputy attorney general, Dis
trict Attorney Whitman purposes to con-
tinue unremittingly his investigation of
alleged graft in the state highways de-
partment. In a statement issued this aft
ernoon the district attorney says that the
plan of holding up state highway con-
tractors for contributions to the Demo-
cratic state committee was presumably
mapped out in New York City" and mat
the evidence thus far shows that the
funds collected were all deposited in
the county of New York, to the credit of
the organization which apparently au-
thorized the activities of the collectors
This gives him an opening wedge for a
general investigation.
After reviewing the history of the
prosecution to date Mr.. Whitman says
in part:
THUS far the investigation conducted
has revealed the collection from persons
having contracts with the state, none of
whom, it is believed, ever had contributed
to the state committee of any party be-
fore, of $2S. .425, of which s22.725 appears
never to have been reported; $1,000 of
these contributions was collected from
five different corporations. in violation
of the provisions Of the criminal law.
Thus far less than one-tenth of those
who had contracts with the state for the
construction and maintenance of state
highways have been examined.
"As a result of the investigation thus
far five indictments have been found.
The evidence on which these indictments
were based was submitted to the grand
jury only after careful examination of
the law and the facts convinced the dis
trict attorney that the courts in New
York county had jurisdiction over the
offences charged The district attorney
of New York county plans to continue.
until it's completion, this investigation
and to prosecute every person who has
committed a crime any part of which,
or any act essention to which, has been
committed in the county of New York

City hall will be the scene of a live

when the Independents of Portland
meet the Senator'S. The Portland team
will make its first appearance in this
city and a great deal of interest CEN

is working hard, and by the way, they
are out for the State championship.
Meader, the star center, will not be

much, as he was hard, consistent
player, an excellent shot, man to be
depended upon at all times. Jerry
Carey is pretty good at scouting, and
TO fill the vacancy due to Meader's re-
tirement he has secured the services
of Maurice Appleton, who used to play
in the days of the City League, and
held down the position of center on a
team that was called the Pettingill's
