grant Mephitis Americana in The
United States, cornering thu
market of the fur and the fetiC
liquor. This liquor, while possess
ing invaluable medicinal powers
is extremely offensive, but this
powerful trust has eliminated, IL
part, this extremely nauseous odoi
by combination with limburgel
and garlic, and now has one of th,
most pleasing and beneficial skir
ointments and hair oils in the
world. The king Of the Gambia
Isles uses this ointment in prepar
ing the human bodies for the
feast. 1t not only eliminates
boils, pimples, blackheads and
sores from tie surface of the skin
but gives the body good, shiney,
healthy appetizing appearance,
and the dash of garlic and lin
burger gives that very desirable
and fragrant finish so much loved
by cannibal german dizers. The
hair dressing is very popular
among the crowned heads of
Europe.
But the description of this
wonderful and profitable medicine
has very little to do with this
monstrnus animal discovered by
the trio above mentioned. 1t was
on the last night in March, at
about the eleventh hour, that these
three mighty and valient trappers
met at Flowers grocery at the
crossroads for the purpose of
assembling at their regular meet
ing place, there to discuss as to
whether it would be policy to
raise the price of the dressing to a
price equal to the price that
Rockefeller had put on oil. The
question was very weighty one,
and as the bylaws and constitu-
tion of this ancient trust made it
mandatory that important ques-
tions should only be discussed on
the night and the hour of their
annaul meeting always held on
the last day of March at the mid
night hour, this alone brought
them together for the caucus.
Single file they started for the
rendezvous, quietly and stealthily
stepping upon the grassy places,
occasionally stopping and listen
ing, they passed silently and
shadowy-like past Isaac Flowers
barn, down over the hill to the
secret path. They threaded their
way through greenbrier ard laurel
as smoothly and quietly as a
moonbeam, and reached the
entrance without interruption or
discovery. After entering the cave
tae entrance was shut off with a
40 ton stone that moved nolslessly
and easily from, apparently, the
solid rock. This closed them in
from the world and shut the world
out. There were no prying eyes
or listening ears, no one to see
what they did, and no one to hear
what disposition was made as to
prices, But, alas Man proposes

gave the report. And this is
