- (continued from previous page)put a big potato in each corner and tied it with a sagan. Then he put the bag on his back like a school bag. Another tramp was Larry Sullivan and when he got an alms he would say "God increase your store and put it in your heart to give me more." If he didn't get an alms this was his prayer, "That your toes may be turned up to the daises when I come again." At the present day the tramps do not come as often. The Casey's are one of the bands who come and they only come once a year and that is often enough. The men come first and when they are gone the women and children come and if they didn't get something they would stay craving for a week.
