The Alderman and the Raccoon
    "I SEE quite a number of rings on your tail," said an Alderman to a
    Raccoon that he met in a zoological garden.
    "Yes," replied the Raccoon, "and I hear quite a number of tales on
    your ring."
    The Alderman, being of a sensitive, retiring disposition, shrank
    from further comparison, and, strolling to another part of the
    garden, stole the camel.
