ted among the fighting men?" And
the hunter would go and ask the chief
of the fighting men to come and tell
the old woman what he had done in
battle. But at the end the old woman
would just cry out:
Il don't like you; go away!"
Now, the hunter thought about how
he could win the girl for his wife, an0
while he was thinking about it he sat
down close to the spring. And when
the bullfrog who lived beside the
spring saw that he was sad and puz.
zled he spoke to the hunter
Il will teach you song" said the
bullfrog, which will help you to win
your wife" And the bullfrog told the
hunter to make trumpet out of the
handle of goued, so that his voice
would sound like the voice of the bull.
frog.
when the old woman comes down
to the spring for water you must put
the trumpet to your lips and sing out
slow, just as if it were 1 talking, these
words:
"'The fault-fnder will die!
The fault-fnder will die!"
So the hunter lay down in the grass
close to the spring, and when the
young girls mother came down fol
water he put the trumpet which he
had made from the neck of gourd to
his lips and said the words.
And when she heard the words the
old woman thought that it was the
bullfrog speaking. She dropped her
bucket and ran back to tell her people
what she had heard. They all said that
it was certainly the bullfrog who
spoke, and that he was warning her
not to interfere with her daughters
plans. And so the old woman went to
her daughter and gave her consent to
marry the hunter.

Long time ago, when the frost had
gone out Of the ground and the frogs
sang at evening down by the spring
where the young women went to get
water for the cooking, the old men
would call the little Indian boys to
listen to the voice of the big bullfrog.
THAT is an ancient song" the old
men would say. And then they would
tell the little boys what it was that the
bullfrog was saying. To the boys the
bullfrog just seemed to be saying, ''kr
kr-r-r-o-n-ki"
but the old men said that this meant:
"The fault-fnder will die!
The fault-finder will die!"
The bullfrog first sang that song,
as the old men told the story, at the
time the great-great-great-g
mother Of the little boy was fair
young maiden and brave hunter
wanted to take her for his wife.
But the mother of the young woman
was hard-hearted. She did not want
her daughter to marry the hunter, but
wanted her to stay with her in her
house and keep on helping with all
the work which had to be done.
So every time the hunter came to
the house where the beautiful young
maiden lived with her mother, the old
woman would drive him away. She
would say to him:
why do you come seeking a wife
in my house when you are not yet
ready to find enough game to keep
her?' And the hunter would go and
call the chief among the hunters to
tell the old woman what he had done
in the chase.
Then the old woman would shake
her fist at the hunter and say:
'sWhy do you come to win wife in
my house when you are not yet admit

How Lone Is a Mile?

There are about as many different
miles as there are countries. Ger
tainly mile does not mean the same
thing everywhere. In the United
States and in England a mile is 1,76C

yards and the old Scots mile, still
used in the Highlands, is 1875 yards
long. The hardy Swiss are content
to walk 9,153 yards up Swiss noun

Swiss mile is the longest of all. The
