Jasper County Democrat, Volume 9, Number 28, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 13 October 1906 — A Herd of Bulls. [ARTICLE]

A Herd of Bulls.

The herding of bulls Is not by any means confined to the Emerald Isle. It was a Scotchwoman who said that the butcher of her town only killed half a beast at a time. It was a Dutchman who said that a pig had no marks on his ears except a short tall. It was a British magistrate who, on being told by a vagabond that he was not married, responded, “That’s a good thing for your wife.” It was a Portuguese mayor who enumerated, among the marks when found, “a marked Impediment in his speech.” It was a Frenchman who contentedly laying his head upon a large stone jar for a pillow stuffed It with hay. It was an American lecturer who solemnly said one evening, "Parent, you may have children; or, If not, your daughter may have.” It was a German orator who, warming with hts subject exclaimed. “There Is no man, woman or child In the Ijonse who has arrived at the age of fifty years but has felt the truth thundering through their minds for centuries.”
