DR.. Herbert Gresham James, the spe-

But the actor beckoned to a man in

bawled to him through the closed win

and clay pipe.
When the man returned with these
purchases the actor called:
Stick the pipe stem in through the

This was done.
Now said the actor, pour the

"As the fluid fell into the bowl the
actor sucked it up, and when his man

with stealing a hog.

the plaintiff, what we are going to
prove is that a hog belonging to Farm

wandered on to the lands of the de-

a great Sullivan admirer and had

holes when one of them found a cent.
A minute or two later he dug up a
nickel, then a dime and next a quar-

buried treasure, he dug all the harder,
and was rewarded by finding several
more coins, while his comrade looked
on in envy. Finally he felt something
strike him on the top of his foot, and
quickly thrust his hand into his
pocket.

that?" he queried with disappointed
expression.

companion.
