There was an old Indy who appeared
to never grow tired of praising her son-in-law
; and a little boy, the very image of
his rrother, who at the close of many a
summer's day, would climb upon his
father's knee and say with a tone of
earnest entreaty :
"Now, pa, do tell me all about Knsign
Spencer and General Washington and
the Hessians, and - how you hooked
grandpa's horse and 'listed for a soldier."
"Willingly, my son' tho Colonel
would reply, "but. I -have related the
story so often, I should thiuk you knew
it by heart." Yet Colonel Doolittle, for
the special beuefit of his son and heir
ol ten related the story over and
again.
