histle for the arrearage
of rent.

_Resolved_, That Q.K. Philander Doesticks, P.B., we have every reason to
believe, will fully appreciate the high character of the objects of the
Elephant Club.

_Resolved_, That he is hereby authorized to go to the Elephant Club
room, secure the records and such other property therein contained, as
he may desire.

_Resolved_, That the said Q.K. Philander Doesticks, P.B., is further
authorized to compile the said records for publication, if he thinks the
public can be induced to buy the book when it is published; and he is
further authorized to reorganize the Club in accordance with the same
principles of the old organization, and when the present federal
administration goes out of power, the present members will again put on
the scientific harness, and gladly co-operate with the club so formed,
to secure the ends desired.

In accordance with the request contained, Mr. Doesticks did go to the
premises designated, where he found said records, and a variety of
articles of furniture in a state of chronic demolition. The records he
carried away--the furniture he did not. An examination of the documents
satisfied Doesticks that if properly compiled, and published, the work
would sell. But feeling himself incompetent to the task of preparation
unaided--the work being of a scientific character--he decided to call to
his assistance his friend Knight Russ Ockside. In his youth this
gentleman had the advantage of being employed in sweeping out the
medical college in Thirteenth street, and was once severely injured
when young by being hit with a medical book on the head; and these facts
it was generally conceded, in accordance with the spirit of modern
progression, entitled him to the honorary degree of M.D. The scientific
part of the work of compilation was therefore left to Dr. Ockside, who
has endeavored to do full justice to the subject. Doesticks has
reorganized the Elephant Club, and applications for membership will be
received by him at No. 70001, Narrow street.

N.B. Applicants will be particular to bring testimonials as to
character.

No persons will be received against
whom a shadow of suspicion exists that they are of foreign birth, whilst
to be a native would be a permanent bar to their membership.

THE END.
