Toy Soldiers and the Grand jury

JTTE watched our child last night playing with his toy

general marching bravely in the lead followed by the
colonies and the majors, and the captains and the
''looeys" and long line of plain buck privates.
After he had lined them all up into procession that
stretched for several feet the rug the boy tapped
the rearmost private sharply And OH the havoc that
resulted One falling private knocked the next down
and the last private bumped the ooey and he in
urn knocked the captain down and he the colonel and
finally the old general himself flat his face.
