a good joke is told at the expense of a
physician who called at the Justices office
Yesterday bsfore the sectional parts of the
big black hog had bean skined. The doctor
was asked what kind Of an animal it was,
and he replied; "a black bear, oy thu der"
When asked if it might not be- n hog. he
said: ooh, no. That's bear, of cours,."
Justice Reynolds took the long pigtail from
place Of concealment and holding it up to
the disciple of Esculapius, asked if he ever
saw bear have tail like that. "No, -
said the doctor "It's on me. It's a hog,
by thunder The chagrin of the doctor
created round Of merriment among the
bystaniers.
