Young, Allen
SENATOR sosCKsS FROa.

"Senator Beck went fishing the other
day" said one Of his colleagues, "and he
did the most stupid thing ever heard
of. He started out early 10 the morning
for the Upper Potomac. The favorise
bait of these high-bred fishermen is q frog.
Frogs are procured = day in advance by
boys in the vicinity where the fishing Is
to be done. Berk does not seem to care
very much when he goes fishing whether
he catches anvtu'a-e or not il he has
number Of jolly companions with him.
Soon after he arrived at his destination
for fishing he set his pole, run out his line
and threw his hook with small live frog
upon II. The vigorous statesman then
took position on the bank of the river
and talked 10 his companions, smoked,
and discussed future legislation. A num-
Der Of times he observed his line to pull
taut and his pole to sway little, but
never was there that hum and that swish
of the line which indicate the presence of
a bass. Beck's companions told him that
it was the frog pulling at the line, but he
never pulled it up until the time had ar
rived for him to return to Washington.

reel in his line. j have not had bite
today, and it is the best point on the riv-
er for. bass. The morning, too, is very
favorable. Do You know why I haven't
caught fish ?" inquired Senator Beck.
/" 1t is because that confounded little green
frog has been sitting on that stone out
there looking at me all the time. /
haven't said word, but have seen that
frogs eye on me constantly, and it is at
that frog that / have thrown 80 many
stones and made SO many gestures and
beloved so loudly at. The Senator con-
tinued to pull in his line His compan-
ions watched him intently. Finally he
was heard to exclaim, "Well, TIL be-!'
The line whipped up to the stone and the
frog was pulled off it. It was then dis
covered that the frog had climbed out on
the stone Immediately after it was thrown
into the river, and had sat there with the
hook in its mouth.
