For Christmas comes to all, spar
ing not the rich nor the poor, the
good nor the wicked, nor the poll

Barnurn said YES I can cut it up"
you can't cut it up in four hours"
said Brown The woodman asked what
it was all about.
He says [ can't cut and split that
pile of wood in four hours" said Bar
mum: how long would it take you?"
ScornfulIy the woodman replied, why
I could cut and split that little pile
in two hours, easy" you can't do II
In three, to save your life" said
Brown. yes he can" said Barnum.
'I'n bet you So he can't said Brown.

The wood cutter thus chall
threw off his coat and taking his axe
made the chips fly, and after chopping

wood cutter, Il see I oughter had an
understanding about my pay before
commenced cutting. It's fact, Meth
er one of you hired me to cut 1t, but
was too big a. fool to see. it; but fool
as am, I know when TO quit. Good
