No, indeed
What would happen if another

ciples. The major is a noted pro-
moter of fish fries and the parent of
Panfish Bill.
Speaking of bulifrogs,'' said the
major, reminds me of another man
who had the habit. only he raioiced
TO eat the hind legs of the frog. He
would go miles to amass a mess and
he couldn't abide TO get his feet wet
This frog-habit person was an aged
Frenchman in the Louisiana swamps,
and his method was at once scientific
and hideous. [ knew him well and
admired him as a man, but his
method was Tepugnant 10 me-
We waited while the major spat
through his mustache and formu-
lated some language befitting the
new frog-habit man.
TO amass the frogs" the major
went on, the epicure must infest the
swamp and pursue the hind legs to
their lair. When he was young the
Frenchman waded in and never
thought anything of it; but when his
bones got old and porous he had to
be careful and scientific. So he took
in a silent partner, which pard was
pointer dog. The brainy frog eater
lashed q small shotgun on the dogs
back and left the muzZle sticking out
between the ears. A string ran from
the trigger TO the tail of the dog, and
that's about all there was to it.
Whenever Fido, ranging about the
swamp, got his eagle eye on a frog.
he pointed the reptile and dropped
his tail. Dead bullfrog, shot right
through the body, for Fido was SO
expert he never mutilated the hind
legs. The Frenchman licked him if
he made q poor shot. Fido also re-
trieyed the deceased frog and
brought it to the boat, so the French
man could load the arsenal again
and send the intelligent pointer on
the warpath.
1T was a crime TO pot frogs il
that manner, because the confding
bull never did jump out of the way
of the dog. He just sat and waited

He put on another two-pound

through the same performance-got
a fine bite, but lost the fish.

New England story and we Anglo

stories first and take comfort in the

allow any artist to picture any kind
of vestiture that would not go at
Asbury Park. Then let him brace
himself and turn the leaves that lead

Saxon. but IL is advertising. and the
conventions are different in that

We Americans will not stand for
semi-nudity in the wrong place. It's

ball or swagger dinner. but in the

That would be case where TO put

After the war (I8I2), he retired to

and three splendid sons, he illustrated
the charm Of the old-time plantation
life. To Miliwood came the most dis
