Little Path, and as he hurried around it
he almost ran into Mr.. Blacksnake him
self. It was a question which was the
most surprised. For just a wee second
they stared at each other Then Mr..
Blacksnakes eyes began to sparkle.
Good morning, Mr. Toad, isn't this a
beautiful spring morning? l was just
thinking about YOU, said he.
But poor Old Mr.. Toad didn't say good
morning He didn't say anything. He
couldn't. because he was too frightened.
He just gave a frightened little squeal,
turned around, and started down the
Crooked Little Path twice as fast as he
had come up. Mr.. Blacksnake grinned
and started after him, not very fast, be-
cause. you know, he had just walked up
and he didn't feel very lively yet. Be
sides, he knew that he wouldn't have to
run very fast to catch Old Mr. Toad, and
he thought the exercise would do him
good.
And this is how it happened that beau
tiful spring morning that jolly. bright
Mr. Sun looking down from the blue. blue
sky and smiling to see how happy every
body seemed. suddenly discovered that
there was one of the little meadow peo-
pie who wasn't happy, but instead was
terribly, terribly unhappy Il was Old
Mr.. Toad hopping down the Crooked Lit
Tie Path for his life. while after him,
getting nearer and nearer. glided Mr..
BiackSnake.

Mrs. Edward Beale Mclean is mistress
of one of the largest fortunes and one of
the handsomest homes in America Yet
she is probably the only young matron
in the smart set of Washington and New
port who prefers to dispense with the
services of a housekeeper and to admin
lister the practical details of household
affairs herself. She voluntarily assumes
the ordering of a large retinue of serv-
ants. and the planning, even to the most
minute detail, of all her own entertain
ments. The average American woman
knows the labor involved in keeping the
average American home, but there is a
larger task still for the woman in So
ciety who has upon her hands the care
of great house and the control of a
large number of servants Mrs. Mclean
was asked once why she did not get a
housekeeper.
Because, she answered. Il have not
yet been able to find one who will be as
good to our servants as we are
The answer showed a kindness of
heart for which this young matron is
known. and which has done much to
eliminate in her home the servant prob
lem that is the bugaboo of many women
The old cook who serves Mr.. and Mrs.
Mclean at present was in the service
of the formers grandmother forty years
ago and later of his mother.
Mrs. Mclean owns some of the most
valuable jewels In America. Among her
collection is the famous Hope diamond
Circular in shape and more thar an inch
in diameter. it's flashing facets emit
lustrous light in ever-changing tones of
blue. 1t is surrounded with white dia-
monds the size of small pea and is sus-
pended from a diamond chain set with
the same white stones.
1t goes without saying, however, that
the greatest treasure in the possession
of the McLeans is their young son. Vim
son Walsh The little lad is four years
old and is the idol of his parents. Since

Old Mr.. Toad's Mistakes.

II * a very little wortto }ooi> at. but
the biggest word you have ever seen
doesn't begin to have much meaning
as little If" If Jimmy Skunk hadu :
ambled down the Crooked Little PATH
just when he did if he hadn't been look
ing for fat beetles; if he hadn't seen that
big piece of bark at one side and decided
to pull it over; if il hadn't been for all
these ifs. why. Old Mr. Toad wouldn't
have made the mistake he did and you
wouldn't have had this story. But Jimmy
Skunk did ambie down the Crooked
Little Path. he did look for beetles and
he did pull over that big piece of bark.
And when he had pulled it over he found
Old Mr.. Toad there. and Old Nj. Toad
had just walked from his long winter
sleep. He had crept under that piece OF
bark because he wanted to keep out of
sight until he felt a little more awake
before he started out to lind something
10 cat.
But when Jimmy Skunk told him that
he had seen Mr.. Blacksnake that very
morning and that Mr.. Blacksnake had
asked after Old Mr. Toad the very last
bit of sleepiness left old Mr.. Toad. Yes.
sir. he was wide awake right away. You
sec. ne knew why Mr.. Backsnale had
asked after him. He knew that Mr..
Blacksnake had been asleep all winter
and that he must be very hungry. and he
knew that Mr.. Biacksnake had fond
ness for toads. He turned quite pale
when he heard that Mr.. Blacksnakc had
asked after him. and right then he made
his first mistake. He was in such a
hurry to get away from that neighbour
hood that he forgot to ask Jimmy Skunk
just where he had seen Mr.. BiackSnake
He hardly waited long enough to say
good bye TO Jimmy Skunk. but started
of just as fast as he could go.
Now, it just happened that Old ar.
Toad started up the Crooked Little Path,
and it just happened that Mr.. Blacksnake
was coming down the Crooked Little
Path. Now, when people are very much
afraid they almost ALWAYS seem to think
that danger Is behind instead of in front
OF them. 1t was so with Old Mr.. Toad.
Instead of watching out in front as he
hoped along he kept watching over his
shoulder. and that was his second mis-
take. He was SO sure that Mr.. Black
snake was somewhere behind him that
he didn't look to see where he was go
ing. and you know that people who don't
look to see where they are going are al
most sure to go head-frst right into
trouble.
Old Mr. Toad went hopping up the
Crooked Little Path fast as he could.
which wasn't very fast. because he never
can hop very fast and just now he was
weak, because of his long winters sleep
and because he hadn't yet got the kinks
out of his legs. And all the time he kept
looking behind for Mr.. Blacksnake. Pres
emily he came to turn in the Crooked

The Velie six and the coming auto show about equally divided the admira- tion of Sales Manager H. D. Bailey of the Nelie force yesterday afternoon, when he ran across the R. A. R. He didn't actually run across the represen- tative of the Arizona Republican, you know.
 NJ. L. Naquin, agent for the Velie in Arizona left yesterday for Globe in the new Velie six, the light car with the multiplicity of power makers. Before leaving, he reported that he had stock ed the constitutiOnalist government with two cars, sold a couple more in Bisbee sold the town of Douglas a garbage truck and Tucson fire truck. This, he modestly asserts, is a pretty fair showing for one hike
 There will be a six Nelie at the auto show This'is certain Although there is a demand for the car. Naquin has promised to hold it, and keep it well shined up for the show. The light four coupe will be Naquin's other cOntribu ton to the glory of nations and the en lightenment of Phoenix as to the 1914 product of the automobile factories.

DEL BLANCETT ID BE
 SHOW ALL BY HIMSELF
Popular Ex- -Cowpuncher- Movie Artist an motor Car Driver to Appear
 With Bronc at Coliseum

Del Blancett, failing to make the re- quired arrangements for a wild west show for Aztec Sun F'ete, will not leave this city without giving Phoenicians a sight of his own personal ability to ride 'em straight up. For he has been booked to do a broncho busting stunt on the Coliseum stage next week
 good press agent would take that announcement and build up a bully story about the way Manager Reeves is going to have concrete pillars built to hold up the stage while the tall ex- cowpuncher twists the wild ones. But this would be a misguided statement. And besides, Reeves does not want to put any shame on the contractor who constructed the said stage. But here are the preparations that will be made.
 A strong netting of knotted taut ropes will be drawn across the stage front to protect the audience. The corral" will extend to the wings on both sides and will then curve back to keep the bronc from making an off stage exit, thereby damaging the scenery.
 Other preparations for the show in clude the wrangling of remuda of skyrockets, sun fishers, side wallop- pers, end swappers and stiff -leggers. Blancett has some movies, showing cowpunchers pastimes in which he takes leading part.
