Said 129 To 2

Grab this one, vou Hoo-Hoo:

When the news popped in the daily press about the black cats that were discovered in the tomb of King Tut, in Egypt, it naturally set lots of Hoo-Hoo tongues agog.

In m,any parts of the country, according to reports, members of the C)rder made talks at Hoo-Hoo meetings, claiming the origin of H,oo-Hoo to have been in Egypt, as evidenced by these black cats.

But the best thing that happened was a wire that was sent by one of the old Cats, to one of the oldest Cats. No. 129 is an Ex-Snark of the Universe. and he lives in Texas. No. 2 is also an Ex'gnark, and he lives in Chicago.

When No. 129 read about the cats in King Tut's tomb, he sent a long wire to No. 2, which was substantiallynot verbatim-as follows:

"Suggest that you immediately get in touch with President Harding, and have him instruct Secretary of State Hughes to get after the Government of Egypt and secure from them the oldest of the Black Cats fiom King Tut's tom,b. Bring it to this country and bury it with the members of the House of Ancients in the Hoo-Hoo grove in the Redwoods. I suggest that they place it between vour grave and mine, with the head towards me, and the tail towards you, so that any time you take a notion you can turn over and repeat the Ritual."
