What are you hunting for?"
..Frogs!' was the hoarsely-whispered
answer, and the hand supporting The
sack was raised as a signal.
The reporter stopped and the frog
fisherman took 4 step nearer the ditch
and softly lowered his pole. The end
of the line disappeared among the flags,
there was n moment of silence. the pole
darted to one side, was suddenly jerked
inward, and with a surprised chunk"
an immense green bullfrog lay sprawl
inc in the road at the iisherman's feet.

Yes, a freight train, for instance,

engine is worth $1,000. A common

And so that oil Thanksgiving Day,

Was full Of praise. aud loves sweet way
Held over al. its gentle sway,
Ou souls in joy baptising.

Nor luxury soft condition.

And faith that ripens souls like grain

And faith its coronation
And in the happy years that lie
