TmE DlvEHTfNG HISTORY oF JOE CANNON.
fAftcr John Gilpin Cowperl
tNotc. Congressman Cannon Of Illinois
has bought steed and takes constitu-
tionol ON horseback every morning.l
Joe Cannon is a Congressman
OF credit and renown,
And having bought thoroughbred,
lie rides through Washingt0wn.
Now, see him mounted gracefully
Upon his nirnble stecd,
Fullslowly pacing down the street,
With caution and good heed.
But finding soon country road
Beneath his wcll-shod feet
The snorting beast begins to trot,
Which gals him in his seat.
So "l1air and softly,n Joe he cried
But Joe he cried in vain;
The trot became a gsllop soon,
I'm spite of curb and rein.
Then STOPPING down, as needs he must
Who cannot sit upright,
lie graspcd the name with both his
hands,
And cke with all his might.
His horse, who never In that sort
Had handled been before,
What thing upon his back had got
Did wonder more and more.
Away went Cannon, neck or naught,
Away went hat and stick;
JIc little dreamed, when he set out,
of striking such trick.
The dogs did bark, the children yelled,
Up flew the windows all,
And every soul cried out "Well DONE"
As loud as he could bawl.
Away went Cannon--who buthc2
His fame soon spread around
olIc carries weight lie rides a race
'Tis ior n thousand pound y
And still as fast us lac drew near,
Twas wonderful to view
How In tricc the turnpike men
Their gates wide open threw.
Six gentlemen upon the road
Thus seeing Cannon fly,
They turned him round the other way
And raised the hue and cry
stop thief Stop thief n highway
man "
Not one of them was mute
