Witnessed when at school. The teacher
one day in jocoSc mood gave Bill Cuons
the following question in arithmetic: Sup
pose frog at the bottom al thirty foot
we'll, who cI mhs up one foot every day aud
tails back tro feet at night how long viii
1t take the frog to get to the top? itlt Bill
went and worked away until he had nearly
filled both sides ul his slate with figures,
when the master called out Bill, have you
not finished that qurs' ION YETI NO, sir,
answered H. taint finished but | see how
it must hc done" well, says the master
how hilh up in the well have you got the
trogY {. ,inl highup at all, but low down
answered Bill, Il reckon he is about half
way down to hcW'
Now fellOw-citizcns, | reckon that you
are as cute aS that boy Bill, and, though
