keep and feed a 'possum. Some time
ago he bought a possum and put it
down in the cellar of his store for
safe keeping. One morning the
possum had disappeared and for sew
eral days nothing was seen of it but
the eggs and cheese in the store were
getting away faster than the law al
lowed. One morning the posusm was
found in the store helping himself to
eggs, so now Mr.. Thomson has a fine
