than he can carry.

Hugh Plummer caught a 'possum near
Jennings, Garrett county, brought it to
the metropolis
Gave it to J. w. Shea
Who placed 1t on display
In one of his commodious windows
But the animal, losing
Rest at night sleeps all day,
(Which also rhymes with Shea)
Thus depriving spectators of fair
view of his mode of life. Mr.. Pink
Whiskers of Pocahontas and Titus A.
Brick. however, met at the window
Tuesday in an interview which termi-
mated in a challenge. Pink told Tite
that tits no great shakes to catch
'possum, and, to prove it, come to my
house sometime-but don't bring no
dogs, and I'll go out and catch pos
sum with my bare hands"
40, git Quit" exclaimed lite; that
'possum's either tame or dead and l
wouldn't walk to Jumbo to see any SIGH
bluff ~
You're -, but just then Col.
Whoop Koffkutter of Bullygany stepped
between them and declared all 'possum
talk off.
