Monday at Minneapolis the Hoo
Uoos met in annual "Concatenation"
and after an address of welcome from
the mayor and suitable responses from
the Grand Snark and Scirvenator,went
into secret session. It may be well to
explain that Concatenation is the
Hoo IIoo equivalent of our word con
vention, and that the Hoo Moos are
lumber merchants of the southwest,
west aud northwest. They have for a
emblem or symbol the black cat. and
from this it may be inferred that they
are accustomed to make a night of it
when they meet in concatenation.
One of their practices at such times,
it is stated, is to "paint the town a
dilferent color." The Grand Snark
of the IIoo IIoos, it is interesting to

the order originated.

several remedies aid used them as di
