BILLS STUB TAIL

Bill is small white dog which belongs to Hilbert, an
II old boy: and Bill has ridiculous stub of tail
Sticking straight out about two inches the tail has
every appearance of having been chopped off when Bill
wasn't looking.
Hilbert the boy has woman friend who is an earnest

Young friend severely task for having allowed his dogs

1T is cruel barbarous, unnecessary. FOOLISH wicked
piece of work Hilbert she exclaimed, before the boy
had chance tell her that he had not cut off Bills tail,
had he given his permission that Bills tail should be
cut off.
When Hilbert left his friend he in dis
turbed and Inundated frame of mind, and he headed
straghtway for his father to get an explanation.
Now Hbert'S father is studOus German chemist who
likes nothing better than explaining the why and where

give his exact words to his small son:
My you may tel the lady that Bills tail has not
been off But that Bills great grandfahers tail and
his great grandmother tail probably cut off. You
may tell the lady that, perhaps for ten fifteen genera
tons back. Bill ancestors tails have been cut offand
that if Bits chdrens tails cut off fifty years from
the direct poserty of Bill will surely be born with
any tails at all This the chemist said very earnestly
Tell her. my that if men continue to and

the attainment of publicity by
