Il was declared by those who spoke
that since the open-shop plan had been

 .'..I see your little geese are handy, so I'll satisfy myself with one of yours" Catch one if you can"
 Then there is a lively scene. Mother Goose spreads out her arms and the Iit- tie ones cling tight. But they must not MT. Fox dodRes around and snatohas all the geese he can capture.
 The game can stop here or can be con- tinued, thus:

Fox. they can stay there until recap tured.
 But if touched by him while trying to escape, they must return to the den and wait for another opportunity to escape. Two players join hands, holding them up as an arch for the others to march through. All the players sing the two following verses: "Hark, the robbers coming through. Coming through, coming throughl Hark, the robbers coming through,
 My fair ladyl tor gentlemanD What have the robbers done to you, Done to you, done to you? What have the robbers done to you, ' My fair lady? Cor gentlemanO
 Just as the second verse is finished the player then going through the CTS forming the arch sings the third and fourth verses. as follows; You have stolen my watch and chain, You have stolen my watch and chain.
 My fair ladyl Cor gentlemanD Half dollar you must pay, You must pay, you must payl Half-a-dollar you must pay,
 My fair ladyl Cor reatlemanD
 Then all sing the fifth verse. as follows:
 Half-a-dollar we cannot pay. pay GdlLOL pay HaIf-a dollar we cannot pay. My fair ladyl Cor gentleman!1
 The last verse is sung by the one who sang the third and fourth ver=es, and he seizes the nearest person in the marching line and makes him prisoner as he sings:
 or to prison you must go, You must go, you must go, Of to prison you must go,
 My fair. ladyl Cor gentlemanO
 The next time, the other player forming the arch sings the third, fourth and sixth verses and takes the prisoner. In this way two equal sides are at last formed, ana then they proceed to tug against each other, and the strongest side wins the game.
