have already had many flies and bugs.
YES, 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, even letting
the bug get right on his nose, 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 can like
ice cream and cake when they might
eat bugs, is quite beyond me-"
II guess the ice cream and cake is
beyond you," said one Of the little
frogs. "They never have 1t in the
pond, do they?"
mo, they never do" said Grandpa
Frog, "but I know that people like
1t, for I've seen picnics where. they
brought ice cream in a pail, with ice
all around inside. And they've eaten
it and enjoyed it just as | enjoy bugs.
"And now l 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 seen in his beauti-
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-
timed I'm a moment. There comes a
bug just as l saw one coming in M
dream. ! 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
croaklng 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,
goog-a-room."

"Goog-a-room, goog-a-room," said
Grandpa Frog, and all the little frogs
came to Grandpa's stump and said,

YES" said Grandpa Frog, 81 did.

want to tell you about the things all

"Yes, Grandpa said the little
frogs, tive want to learn from you.
for we know you know so much"
Grandpa is delighted to hear how
polite you are" said Grandpa Frog.
1--WE are glad, goog-a-room, we are
glad" said the little frogs.
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 1t, said,
I'm my pantry, under the stump,
you will find a fly for each Of you,
and there is also one for me. Let us
have our flies first"
So the little frogs got the flies and
they all ate the flies and had a very
fine time.

COLWELL AGAIN BREAKS
 OUT IN NEW PLACE
CFrom Fridays Daily.l

Chief Deputy Recorder Colwell is equipped with a versatile tempera- ment. and working in harmony with his mental machinery is an elastic disposition that permits him to dou- ble-back somcrsault in spasmodic out breaks. For instance three years ago he got into the newspaper game with q weird story of an ibeX straying from the Pyrenees mountains in Spain to his Willow Creek hacienda, and the dose was gulped down greed fly by the unsophisticated reporter.
 One year later a brace of roosters got to picking gold nuggets from that stream, and when given an emetic coughed up about g each.
 His annual explosion this. Novem- Der was yesterday when he related an episode of two strange birds coming to his place to see the folks. There was an advance agent and after find ing the situation serene he hopped back and brought along his partner, also d bird.

X-RAYS SHOWS BROKEN
 BONES OF PLAINEIFF
(From Saturdays Daiiy)

Juan Gonzales can draw things to- ward him with his right hand and can carry an object like a bucket, but cant wield a hammer or pick. He can stand erect, but the motion of turning, either to the right or left is not only difficult, but painful.
 This IS the way Dr. ]. B. McNally described the injuries sustained by the plaintiff in q $l5,000 damage suit against the Consolidated Arizona Smelling company, after Attorney r. (. Struckmeyer had pointed out that the jury. nor himself got very much from the statement that Gonzales had suffered fractures of the radius, ulna and the upper third of the trantor major of the right lcmur
 Tie testimony came during the lat ter stages of the case of the plaintiff, after il had been shown by means of a small model of a raise, how Con zales had been brushed off a staging by d bit of falling rock and had fallen about 5 feet sustaining his injuries.
 IF connection with the testimony of pr. McNally, the plaintiff intro duccd seven radiographs taken a; Phoenix and showing how the bones had knit or failed to knit following his treatment. Some of the plates showed the wrist injury and some demonstrated the disturbed position of the above named osseous structure which. in the plainer terms later elicited from the witness, proved to be a bump on the thigh bone tC which whole lot of important mus cles were attached. Some of the plates were clear and some were dark While struggling with one of the darl ones. Dr. McNally and counsel fo' the plaintiff burned their fingers hold ing matches so the jury could see the bone picture. Then, at suggestion, Bailiff Poulson vanished and reap peared with a large pocket flash. which showed the shadoWy lines very nicely.
 The case opened with the selection of jury during the morning and the defense had built up its case by ad- iournment time It is probable tha' the jury will get the matter by this afternoon at least.
 Interest in the grinding of the wheels of justice has slacked of many percent since the Bernice Anderson case with its luscious details, and now all who can usually be found in the court room are persons connected with the particular case at bar. The past four days, the court has been attended by many miners.

PIONEER FIELD IN
 MINING IS COMING BACK
CFrom Fridays Daily.)

l. A. Forbes. mine owner of the Jersey Lily field, contiguous to the Dos Oros group, now active and pro ducing a big tonnage, stated yester- day this single proposition is having a wonderful effect in stimulating other old mines to resume, saying: The belief has prevailed for many years that the Dos Oros was not only worked out long ago, but that it was played out. The same rule will apply to a score of other old properties in that belt, and this sentiment has for a long time made investors tiInid in taking over certain mines, gold as well as silver.
 But the reaction is now on, and while I do not desire to be specific, before next spring dawns 1t is quite probable a half a dozen good deals will be closed and practical mining men will be operating. The Dos Oros today is causing wide attention, and in the hills we hear. more of whas IS gong OI lIIdl III t44lS SAtSJ dIlu tLAS situation at the old camp is decidedly glowing. There is another fact which should be mentioned in connection with mining in that field. The wagon road from Prescott, to the Hassay- ampa river should be repaired and made passable to automobiles at once even if the merchants of this city should bear the brunt of the expense. The miners beyond the crossing will do the rest. That old road is the only outlet to the above country, and from a commercial standpoint jt should be looked after by those who will get the benefit of trade and travel" l

MCGOWAN GETS S26,OOO
 FOR HURTS IN KAY MINE
(Frnm Fridav.s DaiIvl

4lOllA liAuJ DoAA1
 For injuries sustained in a fall in the Kay mine, claimed, by (. E. Nc Gowan. a miner, to have been the re- suit of negligence on the part Of the company, jury in the Superior coup last night awarded the plaintiff the sum of $26,29166.
 MCGowan's case has occupied two days in the court The final evidence, surrounding the accident was taken yesterday afternocE. and the charge and arguments finished up before sup per time. About S:30, the jury came in, having agreed on a verdict in be half of the plaintiff in the above sum.
 Suing under the common law, the plaintiffs case featured the allegation of negligence on the part of the en- ploying company. It was brought our by means of a number of witnesses, all miners who had worked in the Kay shaft, that the shaft was nor straight and that the skids were out of line-one witness testified between F and 10 inches.
 It is said that the crooks in the shaft causing the cable to switch and rub on the south side near the collar of the shaft, was the direct cause of the accident.
 McGowan was admittedly badly in jured by his fall Due to internal i- juries it had been necessary to re- move one kidney.
 Attorneys Struclcneyer and Vans lee of Phoenix and R. B. Westerveit of this city represented the plaintiff, while the case was defended by An derson &l Ellis, J. A. Ellis trying it.
 The defense maintained by three witnesses including the superintend- ent of the mine, that while the shaft was not straight, it was fitted up ac- cording to standards in vogue at this time, and was safe enough providing there had been a reasonable degree of care on the part of anyone using it. The skids, it was contended, were properly in place and the bucket anc cable strictly up to specifications.
 The plaintiff, on account of the seriousness of the injuries had sued for the sum of S40,0O0

FOR EMPLOYERSW WHO
 HOLD JOBS
(From Fridays DailyO

Are you patriotic employer:
 The question will be asked or each business house in Prescott Saturday by members of the Prescott troops, Boy Scouts of America, in an effort to determine to what extent the war and navy departments can count on the firms of the United States to take back their employees who quit to en- ter the service of Uncle Sam during the war.
 It is not a job-hunting enterprise, Coloned Arthur Woods, former com missioner of New York City and now assistant to the secretary of war i'll replacing men in civilian jobs, writes to the local scoutmaster, Wilber F. Long. What the war and navy de- partmentewant 10 know is how many employers are game to make places for their former employees and what employers have done so.
 It is the aim of the government to issue citations to all firms that have made the tremendous labor of re placing service men in civilian life a bit more easy by voluntary offering jobs to their men. The government will issue to each employer answering properly the questions to be put by the scouts, an engraved citation. somewhat similar to the commissions issued to officers in the army.
 The departments, in cooperation with the scout headquarters, have is sued the following instructions to workers:
 l. This is NOT a drive for JOBS.
 /. The WAR DEPARTMENT wishes to reward patriotic employers who HAVE TAKEN BACK OR WILL TAKE BACK their former employees who went to war.
 }. All such employers are entitled to a CITATION.
 4. This is a DOCUMENT signed by the Secretary of War the Secrc- tary of the Navy, and Col. Arthur Woods.
 5. If all returned soldiers ARE BACK at work in your town, then every employer there is entitled to CITATION.
 O. If the soldier goes back to the FARM, the FARMER gets the CT PATTON.
 z. If the soldier goes back to tie STORE. the STOREKEEPER gets the CITATION.
 8. If the soldier works for his FATHER, his FATHER gets the CITATION.
 9. Some scout masters appear to have the idea that only Big Business gets the citation. This is NOT so.
 10. In addition, why not try the local garage, newspaper, ice cream parlor, grocery store, butcher shop. hotel, mill, smithy, general store, liv- cry stable, express company, railroad lawyers office, fire house, town hall, florist, haberdasher, barber, etc?
 II. Every scout knows some place where a soldier used to work. Ii the soldier is BACK THERE, or his em- ployer agrees to HOLD HIS PLACE for him, a CITATION is ir orcer.
