INDUCED in a night or two ago at a
'possum supper, which establishes
that connection beyond shadow or
question.
Col Rucker, like all really brainy
men, is sometimes inclined, when
among his intimate friends and in
reflective mood, to ccgitate upon
the injustice of fate in general. On
this particular night in question,
while engaged in eating a baked
possum his heart suddenly melted
out of pity for the little creature,
and the tears OF pity began to trio
kle down his cheeks, he was heard
to say:
Life is queer puzzle after all
Look at this little 'possum. |

WINGED that he was a postum of
good character; doubtless he was

not all of us have spent our lives
as well or as usefully. Why, then,
in the name of eternal justice, are
we eating the 'possum instead of
the 'possum eating us?"
