Bill Taylor was a particularly, tall,

friends referred to him as “Bones.”
One night a number of his Jolly ac
quaintances joined him in a party. In
an unguarded moment one of them
drew a revolver, It became accidental
ly discharged, and the bullet struck
Taylor In the leg. Terrified, the owner
of the weapon hastened to the house
of the nearest doctor.
“I have just shot Bill Taylor In the
leg!” he exclaimed. “Come quick!”
But the doctor paused on the
threshold, viewing the man with ad
miring eyes. “You mean to say that
you actually shot Bill Taylor in the
leg?”
“Yes.”
“Then all I have to say Is that It
was a mighty good shot,” was the doc
tor’s response, as he prepared to go to
Bill.—Philadelphia Ledger.
