THE CRAZE IN PIERRE.

The fact that Pierre In to he the cant

And it came to pass that they brought
much Doodle from the East, even barrels
of gold and silver and precious stones.
And they sent for the boys.
And hearing these things the boys arose
and came unto them and said Open up

And they fled from before us even into
