Here is a bit of frog story, which
way of Skcwhegan. 1t seems that a
gentleman from that town, who was
out at the lake. last summer, had occa-
sion to visit that locality, last Sunday.
Near one of the cottages on Sandy
Hook formerly known as Robbins
pint, is "A spring. of which the gentle
man knew and which was dug out by
one of the cottage owners, last summer.
On the occasion of his Sunday visit, the
gentleman visited the spring to see II
it was frozen over, and upon lifting the
barrel head which served as a cover.
he experienced one of the greatest sur
prises of his life. The spring was dried
up, but not empty. for it was literally
alive with little green frogs and as the
cover was lifted and the daylight came
to them, they began jumping in all di-
rections, apparently as lively as they
had been in summer. The gentleman
placed the cover on the spring again
and went home wondering how, with
the mercury at zero and the lake frozen
solid as near the spring. those little
frogs managed to live. That the story
is at true one there is no doubt. but
probably some wag will read it and de-
eide at once that there was nothing
wonderful about the activity of the
frogs. as frogs are always lively in the
spring.
