LAST LAUGH is WITH FROGS
Fully Believe That This Article
Contains Truth.

Did you ever creep up cautiously,
quietly and politely behind a big
frog so as not to disturb his medita-
ons-with club in your hand !?
And then did you ever lift that club
and bring it down with all your
might on the spot where the frog
used to be? Of course you have, says
writer in the American Boy. Now,
how did you account for the frogs
moving on just when you want him
to linger? It's provoking after
you've got your feet sopping and
your clothes muddy; but the most
provoking thing about it is the calm
ness of the frog. He sits there on his
lily pad and pretends there isn't a
boy within mile. And he keeps
right on pretending till your club is
an inch from his nose-when he goes
away from there. 1t is all put-up
job. That's the way frogs amuse
themselves. You think you're hav-
ing fun hunting frogs, but as mat
ter of fact the frogs are having fun
fooling boys. Probably you went out
in the morning with your mind all
made up to come home with nice
mess of frogs legs and surprise the
folks. All day you wallow in the
mud and bang away with your club
at frogs that are laughing at you till
they nearly split their sides. By the
time it begins to grow dark you have
in your bag a couple of immature
