A Jersey Frog Farm.

Miss Mona Selden OF Friendship,
\. j., is hunter of renown. The
game she bags Is frogs. For seve n
years she has been supporting her
self by her on que athleticexerclse.
Now she Is one of the NEST pros
porous citizens ia the little town,
and she Is reputed to have a bank
account, which, If it keeps on grow
lug, well eventually enable her to
give up frog shooting.
Before she took to frog shooting
Miss S -lden taught school 10 the
country regions for $40 a week
She did not particularly enjoy
eaching, for her pupils were ire
quently boys about twice as big as
herself. aud they had that particu
lar form Of humOr which shows
ltsef in being obstreperous. More
over, $40 a week did not satisfy
Miss Selden's idea of proper com
peusatlon. Consequently, when
he found that frogs were a costly
Luxury, she resolved TO invest bel
savings IN a frog farm. Friend
ship being rich in bogs and
swamps, Miss Selden bought Il
acres of land, fenced it in, snt
began to raise frogs for the New
York market, to the scOrnful de
light of her neighbors. They
thought she was a harmless anC
amusing lunatic when they saw he
practicing shooting frogs. Bu
when they learned that she cleared
$1,000 the first season, those who
came to scOff remained to Initiate
and fIOg-shOOting became a popula
occupation IN Friendship. The
other shooters sell their game to
Miss Selden, who In turn sells it 4
the market.

that an area of about l,OOO,o0'
