KNEW WHERE "HE WAS AT"
Possum, However, Was Unable to Tell
of His Whereabouts, to Employer
Over the Phone.

When the late Robert Aull was park
commissioner there was a negro boy
called Postum who helped around the
boathouse in Forest Park lake. Pos
sum was a mighty hunter and fisher
man, and those qualities appealed to
Colonel Aull. Sometimes Colonel Aul
and Postum took lanterns at night and
caught a mess of frogs in Forest Park.
Postum had a falsetto voice and a
vast ignorance of how to use the tele-
phone. He had located several fat,
fine frogs that he thought Colonel Aull
might like to gig and he called him up
at the city hall.
The commissioners stenographer
answered the telephone and after hear
ing Possum's shrill tenor demanding
an interview with "Mistah Aull," she
said: There's a lady on the phone
who wants to speak to you personal
ly."
Colonel Aull went to the telephone
and said: "Well, this is Mr.. Aull;
what is it, madame?'
The reply came: "Thith 18th Poth-
UNI! 1 want to talk to Militia Aull."
"This is Mr.. Aull. Who are your
