New-York tribune., 1920-06-09

They drove before them Aaron Fox.
The heavy goose he bore;
He bore the troopers constant mocks
And threats Of pain in store;
He stumbled over unseen rocks
And grew more lame and sore.
So Aaron walked by hill and dell
To pleasant Litchfield town,
And there with tar they daubed him
we'll
From weary heel to crown;
Upon his stubborn head it fell,
And Ger his beard ran down.
That bulky goose they made him pick
AS any whistle clean;
They covered him with feathers thick
AS leaves upon the green;
He was the strangest looking chick
Litchfield had ever seen.
There in the dawn they made him kneel
And thank them every one.
He knelt within ring of steel
That caught the morning sun;
Bystanders thought he did not feel
The fullness of the fun.
They sternly bade him be afraid
Of Newgate or the moose,
And not moment Aaron stayed
When they had turned him loose.
Thus in those distant times was played
The game of fox and goose.

in Chicago. Hooker is the man in
whose Niagara Falls establishment
MIR. Robert Lindlcy Murray, a lawn
tennis player of parts, works. Mr..
Hooker is tho greatest living tennis
fan, and we are for his candidacy for
no other reason. For Governor of
New York: Elon H. Hooker.
Mr.. Hooker, fan though he be, wields
by no means vicious racket. Prob
ably he would rather get ranking
among the first 100 tennis players than
be Governor.
