So he calls his slave Johnand tells him to take twoof his best Rerk- shires to MT. Browns s house. John gets two and places them in sack and starts for MT. Brown s house. On the road was a gro cery store run by MT. Williams. As John drew near the store MT. Williams called him and said: ''John, I have just gotten insome good liquor; come and try some of it. John set his sack of pigs down at the door and proceeded to the rear to sample the whisky. While John was thus engaged, one of the fun-makers took Johns pigs around the house and took them out, placing two puppies ip the sack instead. John went on with his sack to MT. Browns house.

John was amazed and said: Il declare to the Lord, boss, them air was pigs when started. /" I don't need puppies, take them back to Mir. Jones or kill them; anything, but take them away from here.
