how BOY GOT HIS START.
Turned the Frog Pond Into a Small
Money Mint.

There are numberless ways where
by clever country boys can make
money. Let me tell you how my
friend, Clyde Rushing, little tow.
headed fellow of 10, made lot Of
money.
Clyde lived near a certain city on
the east bank of a small river. The
west side of the bottom is low, wide
sloughs, and liable to sudden over
flows. For this reason there are no
houses on the west side until you
get out of the bottom But there are
a good many truck patches or market
gardens.
There was a great many bull-frogs
along the river and sloughs. Clyde
had little 22-caliber target rifle, and
could easily kill them, but getting
them afterward was not so easy, for
a bullfrog sits with it's head always
toward the water, ready to spring In
II frightened And even If you shot
its head off it is almost certain to
make one spring before it dies.
Clyde had tried to kill some frogs
for the market many times, but It
was so difficult to get~~them that he
had about stopped wasting ammuni-
ton upon them. But one day in early
spring he heard that frogs legs were
bringing fancy prices in the city and
he determined to make another strong
effort to get some of the frogs.
The next day he took his target
rife and went into the bottom after
the frogs. He shot several big ones.
but as usual they all jumped into the
water At last he found big one
sitting on the bank about 10 feet
from the edge of the water, with its
head turned in that direction.
He missed and the bullet went into
the ground just under its neck, bulg'
ing up the sticky earth and bouncing
the frog an inch or so of the ground
Strange to say, It did not jump, but
lay perfectly still, so the boy ran up
and grabbed It.
Then he saw that he had not hit 1t
a. all, so he stuck his knife blade
through its head to kill it. Even then
It did not show much signs Of life. 1t
seemed to have been stunned by the
force of the bullet so near 1t.
He put It in the basket under his
arm and went on, wondering at this
mystery. Before long he found an
other large frog. He shot its head
OF and It made q spasmodic leap
which carried II far into the river.
Something now suggested that he
shoot into the ground near the next
frog to see II there were really any
virtue in that. So when he found the
next one he aimed at the ground
right under its head. and, sure
enough, It acted as though dead and
he ran and got It by the leg and
stuck his knife blade through its head
as before.
After this he always aimed at the
ground Just under the frogs haed or
body and strange to say he always
got his frog. But when he hit one.

AS TO ORIGIN OF THE SPOON.
Shells Probably First Used for Par-
pose in Prehistoric Times.

The suggestion is offered by a cor
probably owes its origin to the shell.
Shells of the mussel, scallop, and oy-
ster, 1t is believed, were used in pre-
historic times as spoons and ladies',
the handle Being formed of piece
OF wood split at one end to hold the
shell firmly. Some savage nations
make similar spoons up to the present
day, and the old Highland custom of
offering whisky in shell has been
probably handed down from genera
ton to generation for untold ages.
Westman in his History of the
Spoon" gives Roman specimens, which
are very simple in design-something
like silver caddy spoons-and are
much shorter in the handle than those
from Egypt Those for common use
were generally made of bronze, iron
or brass. They clearly show how the
shell shape was retained, and their
marine origin Is also preserved in the
name Of a spoon-cochleare-derived
from cochlea, shell or cookie. The
Celtic spoon also closely resembled
the shell in form, though made of
bronze. The horns of various animals,
such as the OK, bison and ram, were
often used as drinking cups, and as
the material was found suitable. IL
was sometimes used with wood. ivory.
metal. etc., for spoon making. Hence
the ancient expression: ITO spoil .
