TaiIIess.

There are times when if YOU
are at the Joe depot, you can
see things and then more things.
Monday afternoon there was
an eyeless and tailless veal
calf in the stock pens. There
were places for the eyes, but
nature forgot to supply them.
There was no place for a tail,
for the back bone stopped three
inches before reaching the point
where the caudal appendage
ought to have taken its start.
Though the calf otherwise an.
peared to be perfect. the defects
caused the whole animal to have
an unfinished appearance.
