He had been to Washington a number of times and on such trips always wore a Prince Albert coat and high silk hat. ~..=.. >>....-.:. :...":
 4 peck of corn will be buried at his head to sustain him until he reaches the happy hunting grounds. There, say the Indians, will be much food awaiting Johnny, for during his long life he has killed dog each spring and sent him along ahead to forage for game against the day his master arrived.
