"Yes, Grandpa said the little

"Grandpa is delighted to hear how
polite you are" said Grandpa Frog.
"We are glad, goog-a-room, we are

And Grandpa Frog, who believed in
giving the little frogs treats when
they were good-especially when they
were good without expecting to get
anything for it, said, s

So the little frogs got the flies and
they all ate the flies and had a very

WOMEN NEED SWAMP ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Womens' complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, OF the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy
condition, they may cause the other or
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DIR.

saw that my dreams came true. I
have already had many flies and bugs.
Eyes, and now that we talk about
them, it makes me very hungry. Look
children, here comes some flies and
bugs, Catch them"
So the frogs copied Grandpa Frog
as he stayed very still, V en letting
the bug get right on his lose, but
then he snapped him up and ate him
down and his eyes looked bigger than
ever as he said:
"Ah, that was a good bug, a most
delicious bug. How people al like
ice cream and cake when they might
eat bugs, is quite beyond me-"
81 guess the ice can and cake is
beyond you," said one of the little
frogs. ''They never have it in the
pond, do theyY
mo, they never do" said Grandpa
Frog, 'but I know that people like
it, for I've seer picnics where they
brought ice cream in a pail, with ice
all around inside. And they've eaten
it and enjoyed it just as l enjoy bugs.
"And now I must give you lessons
in how to catch bugs and flies, where
to find them, and how to see that
they don't get away from you"
So Grandpa Frog gave lessons in
the art of bug catching and fly catch
ing, and the little frogs had the best
time learning their lessons, for they
had so many bugs and flies to eat
while learning how to catch them.
And Grandpa Frog, as he taught
them, saw many a bug which looked,
like a bug he had een in his beautf.
full winters sleep when he had
dreamed Of bugs as he rested in his
soft bed of mud.
And he would say. wait a moment,
little frogs. The lesson will be con-
tinued in a moment. There comes a
bug just as / saw one coming in my
dream. 1 must make that dream come
true"
Oh, what fun they had, learning all
of the ways of frogs, and they lis
tened to Grandpa Frogs talk of the
days gone by, they heard of parties
and balls in the pond, they heard of
how much the pond lilies and their
leaves had always helped with the
decorations.
And they heard of the concerts
given by the frogs.
EYES," said Grandpa Frog, 'many a
croaking concert have we given, and
tomorrow morning the lesson will be
on croaking for the concert to be
given tomorrow night when all the
frogs will be up. Tomorrow morning,
very, very early, children"
And the frog children all said,
"Goog-a-room, we will come. Grandpa,

The sensation of the week in the
United States was the uncovering of
a grisly plot to assassinate leading
citizens in all parts of the country.
Several scores of cleverly constructed
bombs were mailed from New York
city to members of the cabinet, SEN
ators, representatives, judges and
wealthy men, and only the failure to
attach sufficient postage prevented the
murder or manning of many Of the in
tended victims. Practically all of
those whose death was thus sought
have been concerned in some way
with the prosecution or deportation
Of members Of the /. w. w. and other
radicals, so the source of the bombs
is not far to seek. The reds had
threatened a demonstration IN May /
in behalf of Thomas j.. Mooney and
others convicted of the San Francisco
bomb outrage, and Eugene v. Debs,
when sent to prison for violating the
espionage act, had voiced a similar
threat. Investigation showed the
bombs had been mailed on different
days with the evident plan that they
should be received by the victims on
the same day. The Socialists denied
any part in the plot or any knowledge
of it, but its discovery and the general
feeling of indignation it aroused result
ed in the suppression of their plans for
elaborate May day celebrations in va
rious cities.

What might be regarded as a disas-
ter by many also hit the United States,
for the tax on 1uxuries went into eff
feet on May 1. This boosts the cost
on innumerable articles if the price is
in excess of specified sums, and also
applies to soft drinks, druggists sun
dries, candy and other things that have
become almost necessities for many
Americans.

the league and the representatives of
Brazil, Belgium, Greece and Spain,
were selected temporarily to represent
the lesser powers. At once began the
making OF plans for the first meeting
of the league, and it was admitted
that this would be held in Washington
in October next, in the White House,
under the presidency of Mr.. Wilson.
At that time the assembly will COM
plete the organization and the next
session will be held in Geneva, the
permanent seat of the league.
Republican senators who are still
~unsatisied with the league covenant
and they are rather numerous-agreed
to hold a conference on the question
as soon as the president issued the
call for an extra session of congress-.
They are determined that the covenant
shall be further amended, and some
of them favor a plan to try to dis
sociate it from the peace treaty. The
latter. they agree, must not be unduly
delayed, and they are a unit in de-
handing the early return of all Amer
lean troops from foreign lands. Half
a dozen or more of the original OPP
ponents of the league in the senate
will support the amended covenant,
but some of the Republican leaders
assert that there are still SO on the
list of those who will not accept 1t.
Once more we are asked to believe
that the bolshevik regime in Russia
is waning, and according to the story.
Lenine and Trotzky have sought in
vain for assurances Of asylum in va
rious European countries. Petrograd
is being evacuated by the %bolsheviki,
say dispatches from Helsingfors, and
the government is sending away many
of the inhabitants. On their western
and northern fronts the soviet forces
met with decided reverses, but their
leaders claimed these were counter
balanced by gains in the South.
The soviet government of Munich at
last accounts was still holding out,
but the city was being closely sur
rounded by troops of the German gov
eminent and the rule Of the commu-
nists, it was said, was near its end.
Elsewhere in Germany it was the same
old story of repeated outbreaks of the
Sp~artacans, street fights and riots, and
strikes.

Among the minor difficulties of the
