Davis Reasons Given.
Your committee finds that said Sam

cured said Maude Alberta Robinson to

signed to convey the impression that
Barratt OHara, president of the SEN

tee. had been guilty OF improper con-
duct with said Maud Robinson; that
with the idea of using it for the pur-
pose Of hampering the said commission
in it's investigation OF vice cOndi-
tions in Springfield. and that Davis was
moved to do this by what he regarded as
unfair and abusive methods in the exam
ination of certain witnesses. that had the
witness complained of improper examina-
ton he had a proper legal remedy. recOg-
nized in legislative inquiry and courts OF
law, and should have invoked the same
instead of resorting to the Objectionable
practice adopted by him.

Barratt OHara was not. and has not,
been guilty of improper or immoral con-
duct at the time or place mentioned in

father Frog to himself. as he scrambled
up on big messy hummock so as to
look around. Right away he saw a lit
tie path from the direction of the Long
Lane. It led right past the very hum
mock on which Grandfather Frog was
sitting and he noticed that where the
ground was very soft and wet old
boards had been laid down. That puz-
Its sure enough path" said he,
but what under the blue. blue sky
does any one want to spoil 1t for by
putting those boards therew
You see Grandfather Frog likes the
SOFT, wet mud and he couldn't under
stand how any one. even Farmer
Browns boy, could prefer a hard. dry
path. OF course, he never had worn
shoes himself so he couldn't under
stand why any one should want dry
feet when they could just as well have
wet ones. He was still pulling over
1t when he heard a sound that made
him nearly lose his balance and tumble
on the hummock. 1t was a whistle IL
was the whistle Of Farmer Browns boy!
Grandfather Frog knew II right away
because he often had heard Il over by
the Smiling Pool. The whistle came
from over In the Long Lane. Farmer
Browns boy had had his dinner and
was on his way back to look for
Grandfather Frog at the place where
he had been dropped when the Merry
Little Breezes threw dust in the face
Oh farmer broWnS boy and ran away
with his hat.
Grandfather Frog actually smiled as
he thought of how surprised Farmer
Browns boy was going to be when
he could find no trace of him. Sud-
Grandfather Frogs face. That whistle
was coming nearer. Farmer Browns
boy had left the Long Lane and was
coming along the little path. The
truth Is he was coming for a drink att
the spring. But Grandfather Frog
didn't think Of this. He was sure that
in some way Farmer Browns boy had
found out which way he had gone and
was coming after him. He crouched
down as nat as he could on the big
hummock and held his breath. Farmer
Browns boy went straight past. Just
a few steps beyond he stopped and
knelt down. Peeping through the grass
grandfather Frog saw him dip up
beautiful clear water In an old cup
and drink. Then Grandfather Frog
knew just where the spring was.
few minutes later Farmer Browns
boy passed again. still whistling. on
his way to the Long Lane Grand
to be sure that he had really gone.
Then with bigger jumps than ever he
started for the spring dozen long
jumps and he could see the water. Two
more jumps and then a long jump and
he had landed in the spring with q
splash.
"Chugarum" cried Grandfather Frog.
how good the water feels"
And all the time without knowing il
Grandfather Frog had Jumped straight
into more trouble.
