among the pastors Of the various churches In the
neighborhood and the members of the club. Meetings
were held In the churches TO devise means that would

hearing. Wednesday the day fixed for the hear

Drs Giles, Day and Virgin. T. c. Campbell, pres-

RLAcKsMAKEs AND FROG.
Led Two Bov. to believe In Jonah
and the Whale.

The quecrest of true stories in the
history of Connecticut is told by Frank
Bartlett, the young sou of Alderman
Bartlett of Norwich. The adventure
with the snake took place in Kiilingby,
in northeastern Connecticut. and
Frank, who passed his vacation with
relatives there, was in il.
few DAYS ago Frank and another
boy caught n big green frog in a
meadow pool aud took it home to have
fun with il They tied long string
to the frogs hind legs twisted it round
q tree and then went away. Tney
wero gone about half nu hour, and
when they Teturned it was apparent
that y snake had been having some
fun, too. Ia place of big green frog
they saw a big blacksnalee. The frog
end of the string was in the blacksnalxe
and the snake was pranciss about in
the grass.
Frank took the twinc frou the tree,
and the other boy stood on the snakes
tail Frank pulled for all ne was
worth. The frog came hard for he way
well down in the siiuke mouth. Pretts
soon the frog came from the snake 5
nav and Frank almost went over
backward in the grass The boys
killed the snake and the frog cied in
fifteen minutes. Both boys now i'm
plieitly believe the story of Jonah and
the whale.
