war, was travelling through Connecticut
and visited Hartford, staying at the Bull 8
tavern there. A boy came into the
kitchen of the tavern and said: II want
to see General Washington
The functionary on duty did not pro-
pose TO let any mere boy see General
Washington. merely for the asking. and
said as much.
But have note for him." remon-
strated the boy.
From whom
my father. Chief Justice Ellsworth. !"
"Oh-we]l," and the functionary re-
Tented. General Washington read the
note and said to the boy: ''Your father
invites me to dinner. l will do more
than thai, / will go and breakfast with
him."
And he did the next morning And
after breakfast he took the twin sons of
the justice each on a knee and sang
them the Derby Ram, an old English
ballad beginning: 1T was on market
day." and setting forth that the Ram of
Derby was so big that the birds built
nests in the wool on his back and the
