A vivid early 20th century piece describes how monkeys are trapped in Darfour using fermented beer to intoxicate them and summon their fellows, then caging them with liquor gradually withdrawn. It shifts to a humorous catfish tale, a Baton Rouge anecdote on coons and carpet-baggers, and brief quips on enthusiastic religion, marriage pledges, and young men’s conduct.
