This game Is a jolly one to play and
Is a favorite with both English and
American children. One child takes
the part of Tom fiddler. Tom is sup

'Here stand on Tom Tiddler's land,
picking up gold and silver" or Here
/ am on Dixie land Dixie cannot catch
me-
II Tom Tor Dixie touches any player,
that player has to join him in defend
Ing the treasures.

be compelled to rise and accept his
prize and bow his Acknowledgements
