II. Arthur Johnson. him OF the rctund
form and genial disposition the founder of
Hoo-Hoo and the moving spirit OF all lum-
Der conventions. has sent the following to
the Timberman of Chicago, which publ
cation he represents. 1t is of interest to
Texas. as SO many kittens reside In this
State:
Great Light In Hoo Hoo Land--There has
been Hoo Hoo in the South recently which
was of personal character. The old man
oil the clouds has taken hand himself
IL is believed in Hoo Hoo circles that Hoo
HOO came down from the hearth rug in
the clouds and led the march in Houston
leNaa. not long since. For when ON all

Great Hoo-lioo has. through that grand
s'eeu and black and yellow torch light
procession. given his permission now that

long Tine was despaired of. But when

applause from spectators who have never
heard OF Hoo-lIoo and would as soon be-

truth. then the time has come for parades

the loaves and fishes at the recent Mobile

southern Hotel at Mobile. These who ver.

Even the dismantled feast was indeed
quite palatahle
HOO Hoo did great deal at beaumont,
but he did not set fire to the town. ana
nc must not be blamed with ii. either. The
miracle which was performed al Bcaumou,
was that six or seven more eligible people
could he found In that locality who were
not airea1y members beaumont has been
very loyal TO Hoo Hog from tho beginning
But 1t was scarcely thought that Be,umon,

they were good ones, too.

Great are the mysteries OF Hoo Hoo and

The coming of the Hoo-IIoo to Texas did
another notable thing. il inspired n lady
Of Dallas. Texas. to write tine following
verses:
On the breast of my sweetheart's coat
Rests a feline. fierce and black
With tail erect and ewes ahlaze
Regarding me with fearful gaze
Why, little dark and savage one.
Should come to thee thy wild nlarm7
Nc f..sa~ has ~. i
That gives to uNee that ugly stare?
Lie calmly on his peaceful breast
Nor cast on me that fearful glare
For thee III leave tho happy part
To sleep Just DER my lovers heart.
He came In an air ship-And now. oh we
wise ones of earth, just stop your guessing
and lten TO revelation. The newspapers
of tho North and of the South have been
filled with columns of matter concerning
an air ship, which, according TO the latest
account rested on Texas meadow to 'oil
the system and give power to body and
brain" by a much needed fixing up of its
machinery.
Put down your miserable crucibles, oh ye
scientist and, seer, Just sheathe your rod
Of divnation. for let II be known 10 all
those who desire to know that II was just
Us That was our air ship and We can
prove ii to be true.
That accounts for all the strange hap
penings recorded above. Hoo Hoo came to
earth with the "Sough of Despond," which
will be exhibited by r. W Hoffman d Co.

who wear the Black and Gold.
