Editor Messenger -
Through my recent advertise
ment in your valuable and widely
circulated medium of informa-
ton, excellent results were had.
Letters too numerous for reply
have crowded my valuable time
to the wall. Propositions of all
kinds have poured in upon me
for both the Telephone rights
and the Embalming Art, recently
recovered through the kindness
of Pharaoh after having been
lost for nearly 1000 years.

stock, (unassessable). Evidently
the G.. OPP. H.-A. M. wishes to
make provisions for embalming
very large corpse. They may
be expecting that the old G.. O.
p. body polite will meet with
some kind of a sudden taking off
long about the fore part of Nov
ember-which of course it will,
maybe. The offer was respect,
fully rejected.
The Meat Trust made very
clean offer of 100-million dollars
for the right to use the En- balm
ing Art in embalming army
meats. Rejected But I have
no time to waste on these small
side issues, and will proceed
with my historical researches and
gather in some of the great priz-
es thai are offered to clear up
points in prehistoric and ancient
history over which controversies
are still pending.

J.-Yes, | heard of it through
Pharoah and was expecting a
call from you. But what do you

K.-My dear prophet, you
must know that there are people
in this skeptical world who even

of years ago. Has the publica-

funds or was the copy dropped
into the kindling box ?
K.-Neither. 1t was printed
