Nonedible.

Against an old Georgia negro, charged with stealing a pig, the evidence was absolutely conclusive, and the judge, who knew th© old darky well, said reproachfully, according to Harper’s Magazine: "Now', uncle, why did you steal that Pig?” “Bekkse my pooh family wuz starvin', yo’ honor,” whimpered the old man. “Family starving!” cried the judge. "But they told me you keep five dogs How Is that, uncle?” yo’ htmor,” said uncle, reprovingly, "you wouldn’t ’spect mah family to eat dem dogs?” If a man goes .yrong, he has some good luck if the people don’t say when telling of it, "It runs in the family." You can’t fool the people as easily as you think you can.
