AT §° AN uncompromising looking man walked into the bank and presented a check at the cashier's counter, ‘The Cashier said to him as politely as possible : “don't know you, sir. You must get identified.” “That's my name thar,” replied the stranger, curtly. “Yes, but I don't know you.” No, didn’t suppose you did, young man ; I never was introduced to you.

Let’s keep kicking as long as we can an see what the outcome will be. Maybe things will change presently.” So one frog gave up and went to the bottom. ‘The other kept kicking, and when the pious milkman got to town and opened his can, behold ! the frog had kicked out a lump of butter large enough to float him, and he was sitting on it very comfortably.
