March Of TInkham,s Army.

March Of Tinkham's Army.
On the fourth day Of the year, nineteen hundred
Tinkham gathered an army that never before
Prom the hillside and valley did ever come down
To the White River depot In Rochester town.
There was little Ben. Frank,
And Miller,the tall.
Closely followed by Ball.
And Emerson, John,
To help the case on,
And LlYerymau Ed,
Also Greeley's bald head,
There was young Or. win.
Who'll make out his bill,
And young Chessie p,
Who came down TO see,
And little VIII Ash
who does nothing rash,
And also Dick FRYE
With blood in his eye;
There we're wilson's and Carriers
With Martells for starters
Also Morse Edward D.,
And the Manneys all three,
And then there game Babcock,
While also from Hancock
You could count up a score
And / really think more,
Counting stockweIl and others,
Who seemed much like brothers,
And had appetites hearty
But who knew neither party,
We can name but a few Of this army so bold
For we have the young, also some very old,
The pass word 70 Join was "DO you know Joe ~
or b you know Bony 2" or "who told you 50 20
Bali lost his ticket the very first thing
As also did John who belongs 20 the ring,
But Conductor Clint does not wish 10 DO wrong,
Took pity upon them aud passed them along
We journey ed along through white River Valley
With many a Joke, laugh and sallyi
First this one and that one had chances 20 talk,
But when we struck Bethel se all had 10 walk.
Al Bethel we waited. and waited IN vain;
Three hours we watched, for the on-eoming train.
And now when the army had come = q stop
Business was lively al Heath's bottle shop.
From there 70 the Junction to many tvould
Time passed 50 quickly it seemed uke a dream,
Nnheeded the moments did fly until dark
When the main part Of the army did strike the
New Park.
