In an Endorsement OF Coll. Langhtt s

two bridges, Col. Burr, acting chief OF

increase to a considerable extent when

was sure that they were not chasing him
Happy Jack Squirrel sat up on fence
post to watch them. At first he couldn't
make out what they were doing, but
suddenly it popped into his head just
what they We're doing. Farmer Browns
boy was squatting down and pointing to
something and Happy Jack did not need
to hear him say: ITS almost like the
footprint of a baby" to know that they
had found the tracks of Bobby Coon.
Yes, sir. that is just what had hap.

Jack sitting on a brown corn tent stuff
fling himself with bright, yellow corn and
had started to chase him out of the corn

Farmer Brown himself had laughed and
shouted: Go it, Bushy Tail! 1 guess

little.'
And just then Farmer Browns boy had

channel is deepened the Anacostia river
