Salniou l*. Clmse. tcoveruor, o f Ohio,
senator of the rutted Stutes. secretary
of the Cutted States treasury and chief
Justice of the supreme court of the
United States, oik e had an encounter
with a pig that is worth telling.
When a boy he attended a private
boarding school kept by his uncle, the
Kpiscopal bishop o f Ohio. He did the
chores for Ids uncle during the school
term and worked on the farm during
the summer. One day his uucle told
his nephew that lie should kill and
dress a pig at the « lose of the school
that day.
With no little difficulty the hoy
caught tlie pig and killed it. And now
the question was how to get the bris­
tles off.
He had heard o f farmers
scalding hogs, so he soused the pig
Into a barrel o f hot water He either
held the pig In the water too long, or
did not have It hot enough, for in spite
o f all his s- raping the bristles would
not come off. He then thought o f his
uncle's razors, and getting them he
shaved the pig from nose to tall.
When the bishop returned he con
grutulated his nephew on the splendid
appearance of the pork. But when
lie tried to shave the next day he dis­
covered flint the razors would not
•‘work.** What lie said and did we may
Imagine, but we do not know
Chief Justice Chase was a very dig
nlfled man. His private secretary. Mr
Dirtier. says that he hail little humor
In his composition
President Lincoln
once related the foregoing story ot a
meeting o f the cabinet, but Mr. Chase
did uot like It very well, and the pres
Ident never referred to It again.
