out to sac, but / hadn't got out of the yard
befo' fat ole possum laid down in front
of me to be killed. Out in the road was
another, and a leetle furder on was third,
and befo' l had gone 80 rods got seven of
'em. Not one of 'em tried to git away, but
jest crawled right up to me to be hit on the
head with a club. l couldn't make it out
nohow till got up to Il clar spot in the
woods. Then l diskivered that they had
bin holdin possum convenshun. can't
say how many critters war on hand, but i
reckon the number was at least 5000.
They had come together at that spot from
all over the county, and the meetin wasn't
yit out when l started from the house
That's the reason them other possums let
me kill em. They was put out thar to
delay me till the meetin broke up. Couldn't
be anythn cutter than that, reckon.
81 can't say fur shore, but it's my sol
emn opinyun that the possums yere had
heard about me and the way l was gatherin
in the relts, and they knowed it was only
question of time when I'd have the last
one. 1t was tharfo decided to git out
The word was passed from one critter to
t'other till all had got it, and they gathered
in convenshun and resolved to cross over
the mountains to Moth Keerleeny. That's
whar they went anyhow, and fur the next
three vars nobody cotched sight of pos
sum around yere. The coons and wood
chucks staid on, cause WASH after them
so hot, but every burned critter of pos
sum who could walk got outer the kcntry
and skassly left a track behind. AFTER
about three vars 1 was took sick, and the
report went out that 1 was dead. Can't
say how the story got over the mountains,
onless sum critter of a coon carried it, But
when them possums heard of it, they jest
cum swarmin back to hev good times
agin. Yes, sab, cum back in the night,
same as they left. And one mawnin when
went out doahs thar was five big possums
in the yard a-lookin at the cabin. Bclievin
was dead, they had called to sympathize
with the wilder and inquare fur perticu-
lars. -
"As fur tricks" continued the old man
after awhile as he poked at the hickory
fire, "Im goin to tell yo' how postum

the mewl shed one mawnin and knocked
him over with club. / left him fur dead
and went in to feed the mewl, but when /

three or four days l got the very same crit

and he went dead, but wasn't goin to be
fooled ag'in. l brung him down to the
house and laid him on the grass, and then
got my pipe and sot down on the doah steps
to hev it out with him. l made up my
mind to sot right thar till he got tired of
his game and tried to git away, and then
I'd kill him fur good. When noon cum,

Oh, love the merry gurgle of my pipe,
Brier pipe,
When the flavor of the weed within is ripei
What a lullaby it purls
AS the smoke around me curls,
Mounting slowly higher, higher,
AS / dream before the fire,
with a flavor in my mouth,
Like zephyr from the south.
And my fayorite tobacco
BY my side,
Near my side,
With the soothing necromancy
Sweetly linking fact to fancy,
In a golden memory chain,
To the gurgle sweet refrain,
OF my pipe. brier pipe,
To the fancy breeding gurgle Of my pipe.
Brier pipe!
Nothing mundane can impart
Such contentment to my heart.
She's my idol, she's my queen,
Is my Lady Nicotine.
When in trouble. how yearn
For the incense which ! burn
At her shrine!
How pine
For the fragrance of her BREATH
Robbed of terror cen is death
By her harmless hypnotism.
Healed is every mortal schism.
Foe and friend
Sweetly blend
At the burning of the brier.
Greed, cupidity, desire,
Fade away within the smoke,
In the fragrant, feecy smoke
From my pipe, magic pipe,
From my glowing, peace bestowing,
gurgling pipe.

CARRIERS
WHITE
LEAD
IS STRICTLY Pure.

The Carter White Lead Company
stands ready at any and all times by
practical tests to prove that the Carter
Lead will cover one-fourth more sur
face, and do it better, than any brand of
lead manufactured by what is known as
the old Dutch Process. and also to prove
its superiority in body whiteness and
durability.
We invite practical painters to make
independent tests by carefully measuring
surface and weighing the leods to be
tested and then comparing results,
which will in every instance prove that
Carter Lead will cover one
fourth more surface
The superiority of Carter Lead is due
TO improved methods and the putting
into use the very latest machinery by
which a perfect corrosion is obtained,
and, consequently, when you purchase
a keg of Carter Lead you get keg of
Lead that is perfectly corroded.
A key of Carter White Lead is
All Paint.
The new plant recently put in opera
ton in Chicago is the largest in the
world and the combined output of the
Chicago and Omaha factories places the
Carter Company in a position to fill all
orders promptly.
There is more Carter White Lead
sold than any other brand manu-.
featured in the United States. b..
