MUSICAL FROGS.

Render Entire Selection After Hear
ing 1t on the Fiddle.
From the Rochester Post Express.
I'VE usually associate the frog with
a bass tom-tom. boom-boom and the
shrill reverberations of less lusty
lungs. Heretofore / have not observ-
ed any unity in their efforts, except
a common desire to keep everlasting
ly at it. But what a touch of civili-
cation will do is shown by an incident
that came to my notice on Joe Kinks
farm down home.
Now that it has stopped showing
Kinks love for the fiddle is inclined
by his presence on his back porch
each night. He sits there after doing
his GLORIOUS until late i'm the evening
and saws away and grinds out some
old favorites Near by is a frog pond,
and at first you couldn't tell whether
Joe or his amphibious vocalists were
ahead. Then Joe began to notice that
as he played the GLORIOUS from the pond
grew fainter. and he remarked to his
wife one night: Derned If them frogs
amt listening
Then some OF the tenors got to
chipping In a few notes when Joe
reached the refrain of How Can Bear
to Leave TheeY and soon he found
that the batrachians were croaking in
unison. This pleased him so much
that he discarded the rest of his roper
toire and confined himself to this one
selection. On the next night after the
tenors made their debut the bass be-
gan to boom in, keeping the time per-
fectly. on the third night the whole
pond was alive with not only the
refrain, but the entire air
when he'd take his seat on the
porch and give his fiddle two or three
tuning-up whangs the frog chorus
would instantly cease, except here and
there one pitched the note. Then, when
he struck up, the grand accompani-
ment began and carried the song
through to the end. all jumping on
the final note in unison.
IF Joe were pleased with this you
can simply imagine his pleasure when
one evening he heard the frogs start
In on his favorite air without waiting
for him to pace them. Now the whole
pond resounds with the strains of
How Can Bear to Leave Thea@
from dusk until far into the night.
Mrs. Kinks says it gets monotonous,
but never tires of II. / suppose it's
the only frog pond In Monroe coun-
ty that can render written music
in perfect time and with commendable
technique"
