By Earle Hooker Eaton

SISTER wanted chickens Thanksgivin’ day to eat, Brother said a gander was mighty hard to beat, ' Xa she wanted turkey, an’ pa he wanted duck, Ken I went oat hnq.tin’ an’ had the bestest lack. Heard a norful growlin’; bat, say, I didn’t care. I des aimed my rifle an’ shot this grea’ big bear!

SlalLit wants tne gizzard, tne neck er anything; Brother wants a drumstick, an’ mother ’ll take a wing I'atner ’ll take the wishbone, with des a slice of breast, An’ as I’m jjuite hungry I think I’ll eat the rest. Don’t I wish that Bosefelt, the pres'dent, was my pa; Hen I’d shoot some elf nuts ’way down in Africkah!

“HEARD A NOBFUL GROWLIN'; BUT, SAY, I DIN'T CARE.
