HAPPY MIR. FOX

I'm glad to see the keeper knows
thing or two," said Mr.. Fox, who
had only been in the zoo for few
months
"What do you mean?" asked the
other foxes. "What have you seen
which shows you that the Keeper
knows thing or two? how do you
know that he doesn't know more than
a thing or two? Maybe he knows three
or four things. Maybe not that much >
"Well, I'll explain.
"Of course, could see from the first
day that / came to the zoo that he
knew great deal about feeding ami
mals-especially foxes, for it makes
not the slightest tit of difference to
me how he feeds other animals.
'Then l could see that he knew all
about the ways of foxes. He knew
we were smart and clever and that he
had to be smart and clever too, If he
really wanted to understand us.
''ThOse were two of the things saw
at the very start of my zoo life here.
"But lately l have seen that he
knew a thing or two more"
Then, at any rate" said the other
foxes, "the keeper does know three or
four things"
That's so," said Mr.. Fox, 'he does. !"
'"Tell us what you have seen lately
to make you say all this?' the others
asked.

the seasons to give US the kinds Of

Frogs Got Lonesome

A Texas man started a frog farm
near Raymondsville, to supply hotels
with frogs legs. He obtained several
score of giant leopard" bulffrogs from
Louisiana to cross with the native pro-
life variety, and all went well until
he had about 10000 of marketable size.
Returning home one rainy night he
found the road alive with frogs, all
jumping one way-toward Louisiana
The Louisiana frogs, he believes, got
the wanderlust when the rain came,
and finding they could jump the 30
inch fence, led the whole colony to-
ward their old home. The Texas frog
raiser will start all over again, this
time with taller fence.-Capper's

"They don't give many pieces of real

"In fact, I've never thought they

Hold Youth for
Failure Pay Toll
Calls He Made

Because he used a telephone In
store on Silver street yesterday morn
ing for toll calls for which he later
refused to pay, young man 10 or 20
years old. who claims that his name is
Louis Murphy and that his home is in
Rockland Mass, Is lodged in the Wa
terville Jail. After questioning him
the police believe that the man is not
telling the truth and he is being held
pending later developments. 1t is also
a belief that he may be an escaped
criminal or inmate of an insane asy-
lum.
When Murphy refused to pay for his
telephone calls Police Officer Petite
was NOTED and he placed the young
man under arrest. At the jail he
proved to be very unruly and the
noise he made could be heard in all
parts off the city building.
His story to the police was that he
had recently been discharged from the
navy in Portland. 1t was his conten-
ton that he had been on the U. S. S.
Mississippi and that he had received
his pay from a major" There were
numerous discrepancies in his story
which lead the police to believe that
he has not told all he knew.
