Uncle Dick and Lisa's Old Time Animal Tales

     A lively young boar was recently sent my rail from Custrin to Frankfort-on-the-Oder, being shut up in a wooden cage. On the journey he managed to get out of the cage, and forthwith devoured twenty-five pounds of German yeast which happened to be in the car. The yeast began to rise in the interier of the boar, and so enormous was the artificial inflation that the animal died in the car. The examiner sums up the case for the lawyers. Is the owner of the carcass to proceed against the owner of the yeast for the loss of the boar, or is the ex-proprietor of the yeast to proceed against the owner of the pig for the loss of his merchandise? The railway company repudiates all responsibility, and eminent counsel hold that the claim of both paties lies against the constructor of the faulty cage; but the builder contends that the cage was never calculated to withstand the frantic efforts of a pig which had so much yeast under its nose.
