The Modern Red Riding HO0a
From the Richmond State.

Little Red Riding Hood jerks was a
good little girl, who lived away off in
the woods of Feliciana, where there were
no wolves; and had she been content to
remain at home and take care of her old
grandmother as a good little Riding
Hood. she might have been living there
yet. but like many other little girIs. she
had heard CT thesgreat City of Wolves.
and filling her basket with sandwiches,
and taking an extra bonnet ribbon or so,
pair of stays, and a couple of pairs OF
striped stockings in her reticule, she
started on visit to that far off city.
Here she met a wolf, dressed up like a
great big sheep. who said his name was
little Jimmy Anderson, and he asked
little Red Riding Hood jerks to go with
him to the returning board of the Sheep
where there was whole pack of wolves,
and he would get lamb for heI. Now,
Red Riding Hood jerks, like Mary, had
a little lamb at home, but she thought it
would be so nice to have real city lamb,
and so she consented. The subsequent
history of Red Riding Hood jerks in
the City of Wolves would make quite a
pretty comic opera or Sunday school
story. She was delighted with all she
saw there, and especially with the defe-
renee paid her by the older wolves, and
most of al. by Wolf Sherman, who bad
been q famous keeper of sheep in his
day, and had devoured many fat lamb,
the flower OF the flock. Little Red Rid
ing Hood one day forgot the warnings of
her grandmother, and in strayipg near
a field of skulls in the city of Dead Beats,
which is called to this day Pottersfeld,
the poor simple-minded little girl ven
tured very close up to the house of Mr..
Potter. who owned the field which had
taken its name from the great number
he had eaten apd buried therein she
ventured in, when seeingR very old lady,
who looked very much like her grand
mother, she was not 10 be blamed foT
thinking it was in very truth that ven
erabie relative "How glad am to see
you here, grandmother" she cried with
JOY, "but oh, grandmother, what great
big crooked eyes you we got" 1.-The
better to see with my child" was the
reply. "And grandmother what great
big ears you've got" "The better to
hear your great big story about that
letter my child" 'sAnd grandmother,
what great big mouth you've got !"
"The better to eat you up with my child"
And the great big wolf Ben Butler flew
at poor LITTLE Red-Riding Hood jerks,
and devoured heF.-and her bones only
were left, and they buried them in Pot
tersfield, and set up Jim Anderson for
a headstone, and Johnny Sherman paid
the burial expenses, and that was the
last of Red Riding Hood jerks, who
had she staid at home with her old
in the Felicianas, and
never known Jim Anderson, or Jack
Sherman, or Ben Butler. might have
