Hutchinson had a live oak chunk
which he had grabbed from the fire
and was holding this up over the heads

was his interest in Uncle Albert's well

At this point, keen-eyed Ben Pitt
said what is that, and putting his

1t was more than the human nature
of this crowd could stand, and the re-
taxation from intense excitement and
dread. gave way TO such an out-burst
of hearty laughter and cheers that our
friends in the schooner anchored in
the bayou near by become frightened
and made haste, weighed anchor and
set sail for home, their women folks
saying. those men are crazy and will
begin shooting directly.
The next morning when we found
that our noisy merriment had fright

leave the bayou for home, we were all
sorry for it, but if they could have
seen, or understood the cause Of all
this noisy demonstration, they would
have enjoyed it as much as ourselves,

man being to withstand.
Uncle Albert retained the dried re-
mains of this frog for several years

be mentioned to him even now with

ately eating his right leg OF, drawing

miles each way she has the opportunity
Of getting this trade, keeping in con-
