Then he hires to a man to peddle on tin; He sold the whole outfit, and absconded out a (tin. He tramped daj and night till lie got to Tennessie. And there the police put him under lock and key. Then before tlie judge, to prove what he had done. They found him with a pistol as long as a gun. lie gets his striped suit and (lis hair a liftle bobbed, A pick ami a shovel, including a sixinonths' job.
