Man and Boy Put to Flight by a
Lone POrker.
A st. Boniface pig became very en-
thusiastic about something on Monday
afternoon and set out on rampage.
He wandered far away from his
friends and shortly after o'clock was
snorting around the hospital. A man
and a boy left the hospital and walked
toward the palace While they were
on the particular part Of the sidewalk
which is high and narrow the porker
came up strong from the rear and get
ting in between the two tumbled them
both off into the snow. The pig wished
to get past and he saw that this was
the only way to do it. But instead OF
taking advantage of the confusion in
tho enemy's ranks he stood and looked
down upon the PROSTATE forms and
with a few philosophical grunts await
ed DEVELOPMENTS. The enemy gathered
itself together and climbing on to the
sidewalk made a combined rush on his
Digship But the latter avoided ser
ious punishment and soon the man
and the boy resumed their journey
with the porker solemnly walking be-
hind Watching his chance he made
another attack on the line ahead and
this time made the boy turn several
somersaults. This was rather too much
for the human participants in the fra
cas- and they set out to escape by an
ignominious fight But the hog stayed
right with them and as several ST.

they were treated to a most ludicrous
