Paul,' and there saw displayed at a
meat dealer's some frogs. The

that frogs were a favorite dish with
the French residents of that city,
who paid $1.50 per dozen for them.
My,frind informed the dealer that
frogs were plentiful on his place
and at -once, struck a bargain to
supply him with all he could get at
$1 per dozen, promising to bring a
wagon load on his next trip to St.
Paul. Some time' afterward the
dealer met my friend on the street
and asked him what had become ot
the frogs which he had promised
him. The . man from Cowslip
Swamp replied: 'I've brought you
four. Say, those frogs arejust like
populists. You'd " think from the
noise they make there was a million
of . 'em! '. Mr. Wakefield carries an
affidavit in support of this interest
ing little narrative. ' ' .
