Of course the animals did not know what he was talking about but when he said mumps, all the forest people un- derstood that he was indeed a great physician. They had just been suffering from this disease all through the forest. Some of the animals then told Dr. Bull- frog thatlthey had lost the greater part of their families and had some at home suH'ering from mumps now. Of course the frog doctor could not understand what they were saying. Con- sequently he piped up in frog language, fling-o-uni, chugfo-um. :Xt this the old man Fox got very angry and said. XYe wish you to un-ilerstand, llr, Bullfrog, that we forest folks are strict prohibitionistsf' Then turning to his comrades he said, Ile is not a doctor but a hootlegger, hack to the pond with him. .Nnd so it happened that llr. llullfrog went back faster than he came and as he sank lu the bottom he said, Ile it ever Su humble, there's no place like home. ll.xi:o1.n flitltflilili, '21 consisted mostly of bedding and two tents, but two packs were made up of camp supplies and food. The most valu- able of the camp supplies were a combi- nation knife, a hunting knife. a small axe and a cooking kit in combination. A few minor objects. such as some heavy twine, a few nails, a compass, and a field glass and camera were added. The food was mostly canned goods, such as fruits, vegetables, milk and soups. W'e also carried a good supply of eggs, butter, bacon, corn meal and cocoa. We walked to the place where we were going to camp. It was a small clearing on the edge of a beautiful lake, just the ideal spot for a camp. The first thing that took up our atten- tion after our trip was the puttingup of the tents, but this didn't take long. The next thing was to build a fire and tix a place to cook. The boys gathered some cedar and then made a pile of hard wood. First the cedar was put in place over a little birch bark. Then the hard wood was placed crosswise on top of this. But before the fire was lighted they found two sticks about four feet long with crotches in the ends.' These they drove ,Q -S HT-Q .V ...ha ll Qui-fn .,1 ' ,fa .

But she resolved to do the best she could, and only hoped that brother .Iack would not try to practice any of his jokes. As the days passed Helen became more unbearable in her references to the family album, and the day before they were to leave for Christmas vacation, upon some return of Helen to the old subject Emmy angrily exclaimed, I am tired and sick of your foolish, proud airs, there V' Then rather surprised at herself she rose quicklytand left the room closing the door with a bang. A few minutes later as she passed the door she heard a sound of sobs coming from her room. Quietly' opening the door she saw Helen lying upon the bed, crying wildly. Going to where Helen lay, Emmy put her hand upon Helen's shoulder and said softly, VVhy are you crying, Helen ? Helen only sobbed more, but at last she said, Oh, go away, please-go away and leave me alone. Then Emmy sat' down beside her and talked for a few minutes, and soon the whole miserable story came out. And the family album, answered Emmy, soberly. AJUNIOR. DR. BULLFROG Oh, how dark and lonesome it is down here where the sun doesn't shine and there are no neighbors except a few old frogs much beneath myself in stationf' said Mr. Bullfrog, whose home was at the bottom of Dwinal Pond. I think I will go up to the earth and try my luck as a physicianf' So saying he rose to the sur- face and crawled out upon the bank. His next move was to find a place for an office and for this he chose a small knoll near the spot where he had left the water. After he had installed himself in his new office, he began to think how he would let people know about himself. He thought for a time. Then he hung a gaudy green and white sign upon a neigh- boring bush and turned up his singing apparatus to give a concert in order to attract attention. He sang all the songs that he knew
