The following poem was written espe-
cially for Mrs Grace Garrett, wife of
Fred Garnett. travelling salesman for
Grant x Co Mrs. Garnett recited the
poem in a very happy manner on Tues
day evening, at an entertainment, given
by council 323. Ancient Order of Pyra-
mids, in their lodge room, 4O2 East
Douglas Mrs. Garrett was encored three
times. and very graciously responded. but
when the fourth encore came she insisted
upon being excused. Mrs. Garrett is a
very popular recitationist in lodge cir
cIes:
Jeddediah went counting, in the good old
days, I'm told.
He didn't go for money; oh, no, he didn't
go for sold;
He said twas cause Samantha was the
sweetest girl in town,
Though she hadn't any diamonds and she
wore a cotton gown;
But Jeddediah had his woes. heap of
them, ! guess.
The worst of all was 'Mantha's pap, this
1 will confess;
Now. Jeddediah went to church, and
spoke in meetin, too.
And there wasn't scarcely anything that
young man couldn't do;
But pap he said Jed didn't know no more
than last years colt.
That he'd never mount to anything, cause
he wouldn't take a-holt;
Samantha said she though her Jeddediah
was all right,
But then. you know that love is said to
have scarce any sight;
Samantha's pap he owned a colt, a young
and s1ittish thing.
He'd never been in harness. but he went
like bird awning;
The old man thought he'd break the colt
and sent for Jeddediah.
OF course, he didn't tell his wife good
old Aunt Sophia:
And SO she hung the washing out, all
even on the line,
While Samantha cooked the dinner, and
slicked the house up fine;
They got the colt out of the lot, to put the
harness on.
The time they had, tell you, was sight
to look upon;
But they got him in the suIky. that be-
longed to Farmer Jay,
Then Jed jumped aboard and yelled:
Nov, pap, you clear the way
The colt he done that thing himself by
runnin' over pap,
An then he bucked an well nigh throwed
= Jed Ger the barnyard gap;
He turned. and Jed went on one wheel,
spinnin like a top.
While pap got up and tried to foller. goin
hippety-hop.
Then the colt he made a break for the
bars in that there gap.
The right wheel of the sulky just a.
missin' Manthys pap;
He cleared the bars with Jed on top a
hangin' on like fun,
And then l tell YOU. friends, the sport had
only just begun
He made bee line for the yard in at the
open gate
And Jed he saw he was a-goin' for the
clothes-liHe straight;
He tried to turn him round. but pshaw
ne just kept right ahead
And pretty soon the angels wasn't dressed
more white than Jed;
He wore the clothes Of all the house, and
none of them would fit
The colt had Aunt Sophia's cap hung on
his right-hand bit;
They struck a hen-coop in their haste
and sent some young springs hence.
AID then that colt cavorted through the
garden picket fence:
Aunt Sophia's lettuce bed was split the
bean crop was laid waste.
And all the currents you could find was
scarcely worth q taste;
Jed got the colt out in the road and pap
was left behind.
For cordin 10 the hgh-toned verse
they's goin like the winde:
Pap climbed up en- the fence an gazed al
Jed an that there colt
Then turning round to aunt he said
Jed has At LAST got holt"
OF course YOU know The sequel, bout the
wedding an the rest
Pap gave the colt TO Jeddediai: he said
he thought twas best
