A funny story IS told Of a certain
wealthy tradesman who, on retiring

with his family commenced to cult

Unfortunately for their ambitions,
the heightened people Of the locality
proved to have the usual prejudice

so very exclusive that after n series
OF snubs the newcomers could endure
1t no longer, and determined to die

neighborhood.
But the baffled tradesman did not
propose to go without leaving some
