AN UNUSUAL CHUM.

Henry Blake's father goes fishing
with him.
And goes 10 the creek SOS to teach
him to swim;
He talks to him like they're awful
close chumS
And sometimes at night he helps
Henry do sums;
And once he showed Henry how he
used to make
A basket by whiting a peach stone,
and take
The bark off willows for Whistles al
though
He hadn't made one since a long time
Henry Blake's father is just like his
chum,
And when he goes fishing he lets
Henry come;
He fixes two seats on the bank of the
brook
And shows Henry how to put frogs
on his hook;
And sometimes he laughs in the jol-
liest way
At some little thing that he hears
Henry say,
And dips Up a drink in his hat like
you do
When only just boys so a-fshing with
you.
Henry Blake's father will take him
and stay
Somewhere in the woods for a half
holiday
And wear his old clothes and bring
home a big sack
OF hick'ries and 'walnuts and help
Henry crack;
And sit on a dead log somewhere in
the shade
To eat big sandwiches his mother
has made;
And Henry Blake's father, he don't
e as though
He's more than his uncle, he likes
Henry so!

FATHER OF HIS COUNTRY;
VILLA is GREAT MAN"

A great quantity of literature of
one kind or another could be made
out of the exploits of Francisco Villa,
but probably his greatest contribu,
ton to the records of time will have
been the vital statistics he has fur
nished. Villa has been injured enough
times to put a whole brigade on the
blink. He has died enough times
to occupy an acre with his bones. He
has been caught and escaped often
enough to bull the market in tele-
graph stocks, and he has been mar
ried frequently enough to-but what
is the use? Any Mexican of a gen
GRAFTON or so hence who cannot claim
Villa for his grandfather and boast a
membership in the S. of V. will be
of doubtful nationality.
