NEW ROLE--NOT TELLING TRUTH,

MANY YEARS AGO, WHEN WAS An
w apprentice in ~ and -, We shop boys used to go Coon
hunting down on the South Branch Of the Rsrtsn River, near
CUFFS Mills, New Jersey. So one night We tracked an old
Coon to a large Sycamore or Buttonwo1d tree, We found
where the old Coon went in. The hole was about one hun
dred and seventy feet from the ground: " Hold on Rose, can
not you take of a tew inches OF that" No, | don't think 1
can unless that CarTi,ge Maker that established a Carriage
shop in Eighteen Hundred and ~Sixty-fye in Honolulu, if
he comes down four or five years, l then will drop fom four
to five feet. At any rate the hOie was so high that none of as
boys could get to it. We called OF the owner of the tree and
he would not allow the tree to be cut. We heard the story,
and our blood was stirred. So we mustered a party of about
fifteen of the best of Us boys and went for the old Coon. We
were bound to have him anyhow. None of us boys could
climb up to the hole, so we were puzzled what to do, finally We
gszed out the hole where the old Coon was, so high up in the
great tree, and we not having the grinning capacity of the re-
nowned David Crockett or the musical powers 10 charm, We
resorted to strategy. Yes, as Artemus Ward would say,
strategy my boys. Three boys were dispatched Tor a large
bottle Of petroleum oil. Hold on LOke, We had no petroleum
them days" 1 mean they went for a large bottle of TurPen-
line, and five boys went for the largest poles to attach togethet
to reach the hole. The bottle of turPentine was hung to the
end Of the pole, and then raised up TO the hole, aud thrust
partly into il, we then took a shot gun and shot the bottle TO
pieces, the contents ran down into the tree, but no Coon APP
peared, we then attached n lighted torch and raised it to the
hole,
Then came a bust of laundering sound,
That Coon, Oh. where was he ?
Ask OF the flames that leaped around
That hole, in the old BlTtonwood tree.
He came tearing out with a bound,
At one awful leap, he reached the ground,
And found himself in ROSES SHOP. where
