tn, Jumping Froo story.

Inc jumping frog story.
It was in the Angel Camp bar that
Mark Twain heard from an exploit
called Ben Coon the jumping frog
story. Clemens related 1t to Artemus
Ward, who urged him to write 1t, to be
included in a book that Ward was pub
fishing. Clemens dallied and sent It
to the publishers too late. but they
handed 1t over to dying paper called
the Saturday Press. which gladly gave
It pride Of place in its columns on
Nov. 18. 1856. Professor Sidgwick
synopsized 1t in Greek form for his
book Greek Prose Composition" and
thus arose the legend that the Jump
ing frog story originated in ancient
Greece, a legend in which Clemens him
self believed till Professor Sidgwick
undeceived him in 1890 by telling him
that the Greek version was merely
translation Of Clemens own work.
