ABOUT A HOG.
Claw Notes.

Claw Notes.)
 A North Missouri farmer, whose hog was killed by train, wrote the com pany's agent for a settlement. Being somewhat of a poet, he penned his communication thus: Dear Sir: My razorback strolled~down your track A week ago today; Your Twenty-nine came down the line And snuffed his light away. You can't blame me-the hog, you see, Slipped through cattle gate. So kindly pen a check for ten, This debt to liquidate.
 He was rather surprised a few days later to receive the following: Old Twenty-n1ne came down the line And killed your hog, we know, But razorabcks on railroad tracks Quite often meet with woe. Therefore, my friend, we cannot send The check for which you pine. Just plant the dead; place o'er his
 head:
 Here lies a foolish swine."
