Passing a Bill.
A Frog over given to a high opinion of his own merits once encountered a crane. "Good morning Mr. Crane," said he. " What is yoar opinion of matters political ? '
" Rather dull, my young friend," was the response. " I think it is about time to pass a bill."
With that he drove his.'sharp beak through poor froggy, and so settled that worthy's political aspirations once and for all. •' Ah," said the crane as he gobbled the frog, "after all this is the way the world' 3 work is done. My poor friend the frog is a type of the human politician who is all talfe ; I, on the contrary, illustrate the virtue of prompt action." And he stalked off to look for more politicians.
