A Pig That Paid for Itself

MYTH simple coin trick, too, Thurston once had
w quite lot OF fun with simple minded country
woman. In his stage performance he was using small
pig. The animal with which he had been working began
grow rapidly that almost too large to handle;
so he put advertisement the paper Of the country
for small pig directing that it be delivered at
the stage door of the opera house in the afternoon
The old countrvwo11an entered and found herself
near stage on which Thurston performing his
famous evitation trick before large audience Con
siderably aoashed, she walked forward with the pig
under her arm and asked:
Thurston stepped to the front of the stage and took
the pig from her Then, giving the pigs tweak
he extracted four halfdoars from and handing them
to the astOni5ed woman bade her be seated and see
the performance.
