Senator Chandler announced as his belief that the United States was justified in beginning hostilities, and Senators Kenny, Turpie, and Turner made powerful speeches in the same line, fiercely denouncing Spain. General Woodford was instructed by cable to be prepared to ask of the Madrid government his passports at any moment.
Then Turpie went sniffing and snuffing along to find the little old woman, and soon came to the Hobyahs' house. He heard the little old woman crying in the bag, and he saw that the Hobyahs were all fast asleep. So he went inside. Then he cut open the bag with his sharp teeth, and the little old woman hopped out and ran home; but Turpie got inside the bag to hide.
Eat up the little old man, and carry away the little old woman." The little dog Turpie barked very loudly, and he frightened the Hobyahs so that they ran away home again. But the little old man heard Turpie, and he sat up in bed, and he said: "Little dog Turpie barks so loudly that I can neither slumber nor sleep. In the morning I will take off his head."
And they had a little dog named Turpie who always barked when anyone came near the house. One night when the little old man and the little old woman were fast asleep, creep, creep, through the woods came the Hobyahs, skipping along on the tips of their toes. "Tear down the hemp stalks. Eat up the little old man, and carry away the little old woman," cried the Hobyahs.
