Waycross, Ga., Aug, 12 1908. Hon. W* J- Bryan, Lincoln, Nebraska. , Dear Sir:— W© warn that a supporter of Judge Taft ha« sent him a rabbit's foot as a good luck charm, with which to win the presidency. In order to overcome any bad effects from this source, wo herewith present you with a mole’s foot. The mole from which thiB foot was taken was smothered to death by holding in the hand. A mot® foot obtained from a mole killed lit this way will overcome all the magic effect and influence of all tho rabbit’s feet in existence. The fbot should be carried in tho left vest pocket or worn as a watch- charm, jlf this Is done, yon need have no; fear of not winning the race. Tho niagic charm of the mole’s foot is bo gr#at that no otehr power, force of Influe ice able to compare with It or to lessen or contr>l its effects. Yours sincerely. B. H. WILLIAMS. J. T. MYERS.
