As the old saying goes, "Music hath charms to soothe the savage breast," Dr. Joe blew the bass drum while Dan fiddled on his gig and harpooned to the tune of "Way down in Dixie," until his alligatorship was lolled to sleep and will never wake up again in this world. Dr. Joe brought the skin to town. It looked as though it might have been a mate to one this Editor caught in a net near the same place, several years back, while he was fishing.
