Jes' Plain Torpedoes.

The good old Fourth's a-comin'-the

And little chaps get anxious-like when
once it's drawin' near
They talk of firecrackers and they
dream about the noise,
The dear old Fourth was certainly jes'
made fer little boys.
Bits got great big cannon, with fuse
you have to light.
And lots OF great big crackers that s
filled with dynamite:
But I'm little feller-aIn't half as
old as he,
And guess that plain torpedoes will
have to do for me.
Pa says that giant crackers amt fit fer
little chaps.
He's sore on all toy pistols and hates
these paper caps.
He don't intend his children shall ever
celebrate

It's hard to have big brothers and

And jes' to be little chap and sort o.

To have folks always tell you, you
can't do thus and so.
Because you're jes. little chap-not
old enough, you know.
But ma, she sees I'm fearful. so she
takes me in her lap
And says: why, what's the matter?
You're cryin'. little chap"
Then. as she bends to kiss me, I'm

Indian reservation. by the recent visit
10 that vicinity OF two men who are

treasure. The men are unknown.
A farmer near the reserve says he
found where the men had dug up an
iron vessel that had left its rusty i'm
print in the earth. The removal of
the pot OF hidden gold gave rise TO
the rumor Of the pot OF hidden gold
supposed to have been left by old
Chief Godfrey. The news soon spread
and il was not long until the entire
neighborhood was searching the woods
and fields and especially that part
known as the burial ground of the
tribe "reminiscences were exchanged
and stories OF Godfroy's tabled treas
