BUREAUCRATIC LITANY
And it came to pass that' the Sourdough-he that
wandereth afar and seeketh treasure and a place to pitch
his tent, commeth upon a likely looking spot. He
buildeth a cabin six cubits by four cubits, and setteth
him up a cache wherein he storeth his slab of bacon, ex
tra overalls, sack of flour and beans. Storeth him even
these. And lo, he getteth him up with the sun, he girdeth
his loins in his tattered overall; he bindeth his turban
of mosquito net about his head; he wandereth afar as he
seeketh. Doeth him even all these.
And, lo, he returneth at eve, but he findeth his cache
not; likewise his cabin looketh as if a Texas cyclone hit
teth it. He findeth his sourdough can flungeth into the
creek; his flour spreadeth over the landscape and his
beans they are not; likewise his fry pan, his stew pot, his
extra overalls, his blanket, even unto, the last that was in
the cabin and cache; his tobacco he findeth not and his
cup is brimming over.
Whereupon he lifteth up his voice and crieth his woes
to the gods; he blasphemeth much; he teareth his clothes
and show his great concern. Doeth he even this.
Whereupon, he rustleth his gun; he hunteth the
ground; he findeth a track; albeit one cubit by one-half
cubit and his hair standeth on end. Even so doeth it this
And while he pondereth he heareth an ominous growl.
He looketh him out and seeth the blood-letting Beheemoth
of wholly smoke. He scoothet up the nearest tree
where he sitteth him astride a limb, and woeful are the
scratches where he hath rended his raiment- He taketh
good aim and killeth the Beheemoth. Even so doeth him
this. Then he getteth him down and skineth the Behee
moth. He cutteth therefrom some snare ribs and side
meat of which he doth eat. He sleepeth in the pelt of the
Beheemoth, wThich maketh him smell to heaven; albeit,
like a pail of rancid dog tallow smelleth he.
He jerketh some rump steaks, girdeth on his pack
frame, wadeth deep tundra swamps, swimmeth turbulent
streams; aye crawleth across dangerous glaciers. This
doeth he And lo, he approacheth the trading post anc
there bartereth the pelt of the Beheemoth for a slab oi
bacon, flour and beans and starteth again into the lane
set over bv the Mount of Tribulation which is callec
Brownieville. When lo, cometh the arm of the law, whe
grabbeth he also the trader, and he haleth them to jail
wherewith he admonishes: Thou shalt not take the peh
of the Beheemoth, nor shalt thou sell it; nor shalt thoi
give it away, nor shall thou trade it for food, or clothing
or tobacco, or white mule. For none of these shalt thoi
trade the pelt of the Beheemoth. For lo, it is written
that this privilege is only anointed of the land, bein^
those who cometh from afar for a short period each sea
son, and taketh the pelt away to present to some fail
maiden; she which is his lady of love; or sell it or evei
present it some museum that posterity may know o:
his prowess. Selah!

Now that the Legislature has thrown the Territor
