A Hair-Raising Tail
They were discussing the
proper way to bring up rabbits,
when the young man in the white
canvas hat with a light blue band
threw away his cigarette and
remarked dreamily;
a Speaking of raising hairs,
when I was up in Canidalast year
I heard of a hair tonic that was
so marvelous it made me some¬
what sceptical. finally I bor¬
rowed some of it to try on a tame
jackrabbit that had been rather
out of sorts ever since his tail got
chopped off by accident. I gave
him some of it, and it sure toned
hinrup great—in fact, I reckon
he's running yet. But he left
the loose piece of his tail behind
him and I says to myself: “It’s
a poor hair tonic that won’t grow
hair ’ Ss I tried some of it on
that chunk of tail. Well,
you can believe me or not, but as
sure as my name is Bates that
stuff was so powerful that itgrew
another hair on the tail in nine
and three-fifths seconds by my
watch.
There was silence for fort-eight
seconds, and then the stout man
in the pink shirt and the pale
green tie with purple dots spoke:
“That’s what you call a hair
raising tale,” he murmured in a
sudden burst of inspiration.—
Judge.
