have had to come to the conclusion lately
that it is absolutely true.
KnoppS: How does it happen. then,
that you have so suddenly been convinced?
Lehman: Well, you see, Knopps, the
Old Testament relates that a whale swal-
lowed Jonah, and then threw him up again
because he was indigeStible: now, how
ever, a commissioner has swallowed not
only Jonah, hide and hair, but two other
commissioners, as well, and as they
havn't been thrown up yet, they must be
digested.
Knopps: You don't say so! Well,
wonder what will become of them after
they have been digeSted?
