The insurance men were exchanging vneation reminiscences in Dearborn street. “The pleasantest sight I saw up in Wisconsin Willie I was there,” said the red faced man, “was an old fisherman we pnssed one day in the canoes, smoking his pipe, and with rod out anxiously awaiting results. ‘"What d’ye fish with?" asked our guide as we passed. “ ‘Frogs, of course,' said the lone fisherman, calmly. “The guide broke out in a loud guffaw. And just then I couldn’t see why. Then he pointed to a big log that lay in the stream a little distance away from the fisherman. lie had neglected to weight ills line sufficiently to keep the bait down, and the frog had come to the surface on the oilier side of one of the logs, leaped on it. nnd sat there comfortably blinking in the sunlight. "Two hours inter we returned. The frog was still there, and the old fisherman smoked on In blissful Ignorance of tlie situation. “I wish we could take poor results as cheerfully as that old chap up in Wisconsin.” —Chicago Inter Ocean.
