ested in the newspaper stories about
the millions of leatherwlng bats which
infest Montville. the home OF the de-
scendants of Patrick Henry in King
William coutny.
This particular worthy. noting that
the weirdiy grotesQue little animals,
by their loathsome multitudinousness
have rendered the mansion absolutely
uninhabitable. would come to the res
cue with practical suggestion.
In a word. he would capitalize the
bats and turn them TO dollars and

falo Napoleon of Finance is addressed
to:
The Great Grandchildren of
The Patriot-Patrick Henry,

Knowing that not since the days of

has the country produced n greater
patriot than Ben p. Owen, private
secretary to the Governor. the postal
authorities took the communication to
him and Mr.. Owen. in turn, will see
that the rest of the patriots hear about
the scheme
The Buffalo financier embodies his
whole plan on typewriter postal
card, which reads as follows:

Friends.-I do not think IL is just
the thing to do to destroy MontVale.
surely there is way TO preserve IL

an appeal to the schools OF the land
TO make applications To you for one
or several specimens OF the bats. and
In return they will raise in their town
funds for forwarding expenses. as well

5000 to $500 which shall be used for
restoring old Montville To its former
beauty. Besides this, get group OF
photos Of IL. the sale OF which will
supplement the funds thus raised. /
Will further on send you photo OF
whore this card is written and spot
where this idea came TO me to send
you. There are, ] am sure some $50
