He was successful in his manuev ers and the barber carried the pig tail to Plattsmouth with him and finding the south appendage of the porker lingering in his pocket when he went to extract a cigarette.. He then wrapped it up carefully in a little box. then placed it in a large shoe box and filled the remaind er with paper and expressed tee tail hack to Murray to Mr. Seyboldt, which cost the jolly farmer 39 cents including war tax, which he paid, and on unwrapping the packing, found that his pigtail had come home to roost.
