The boss liar now lives in Jersey villa, HI., and here is his latest effort, which he told to an admiring crowd the other day: “There was a man in Southern ll* linois,” said he, “who invented a salve whloh he claimed was just the thing for cuts. If you cut your finger off, apply the salve and the finger would soon grow out to its normal length. One of the residents of the town was somewhat skeptical, so he thought he wonld try it on his dog’s tall. He cut off the tall and applied the salve, when almost spontaneously It commenced growing, and In a few minutes was as long as ever. In the meantime his little boy had pioked up the end of the tall and pat on some salve, and both the boy and the man were vary much surprised to see a full-sized dog grow out from the end of the tail. The father and hia hoy are new dead.*
