First lines

It was of interest to those who study the psychology of the mass that, until the prosperous but otherwise insignificant James G. Bliss became the object of their attention, the doings and growth of the Frogs were almost unnoticed. There were strong references in some of the country newspapers to the lawless character of the association; one Sunday journal had an amusing article headed:

"TRAMPS' TRADE UNION TAKES FROG FOR SYMBOL OF MYSTIC ORDER"
