hop a hop a day until it reached the

when it got there should let the drop
fall into the Pacific, aud when this
was done should turn around and hop
a hop a day all the way back to Coney

yoree papers got out by me or him if
the bare did not eat him all up. If
IL is him you will know it by him

also sings base and has a spread
eagle tattoo on his right arm which
you will know him by if the bare
