A TALL YARN.
An American and an Englishman were having an argument about a sausage machine.
"It's a big affair," the American explained, "and simply wonderful. You drive a pig through a hole in the machine, and five minutes later out come the sausages." "But what becomes of the hide?" asked the Englishman.
"The hide? Oh, that falls out of another part of the machine in purses, shoes, or saddles —just a matter of setting a lever."
"Is that all?" said the Englishman. "Well, we've used a machine like that for twenty years now,' and, what's more, we've improved on it. Sometimes the sausages are found to be not quite up to standard."
"Well, what happens then?" "Why, .wo just put them back in the machine, reverse the engine, and out walks the pig as fit as a fiddle."
