The False Alarm Liston, my friends, and 111 give ,you a brief On the near disaster of our Amissville Chief: On the 20th of March in '53, He was invited; out to a fireman’s tea. The speaker of the evening was well on his way When our Chief decided he had something *ay. —— On and on the gentleman Spoke, So our Chief resorted to signalling with smoke.
