His Fondness For Potato Patches Led Lin
Into Trouble.
In the old home we once had q funny
little pig. He was generally 10 te seen
in the act Of running away. Hardly ever
do l remember seeing his facs toward
me. He also had knack Of getting
away from all the other pigs.
The field next the housC-the "home
field" as we used to call twas kind
of common for the hogs, cattle and
fowls. The next was potato field, and
the little pig had taken il into his head TO
get into that one. How he get in no one
could tell, for the field was well fenced
and there was no opening through which
he could enter. How did he get in:
One day | watched He wandered in
a sort of unnoticeable way toward a
crooked old log, across which tho fence
had been built
Suddenly, though closely Watching, l
lost sight of my little friend. But before
1 had recovered from my surprise was
astonished to see him in the potato field.

clear to me.
went into the potato field to drive
him ont, intending to steer him toward
the end of the log so that he might get
out the same way he got in. Here he
had the best Of me entirely. He either
could not or would not see the log and
maintained such an mir of ignorance On
that point that had to give up the task
IN despair, drive him out by the gate
and bring him home 10y long, round
about way.
The next day l made up my mind to
play trick on him, and / did / went
out very early and moved the log lust u
little so that both ends would be in the
''home field. "
Then l stood at some distance off and
watched. never was more amused III
my life. He separated himself from the
other pigs and then went toward the old
log and got in and through it and (as
he evidently thought) got out into the
potato field. l could understand this BY
the way he Immediately begun to snlff
for the potatoes. But, finding none, he
seemed somewhat puzzled.
Somehow it dawned on him that ne
was still in the home field, " aud he con-
cluded that he had not gone through the
log So he went through it once more,
but only to find himself again in the
'home field.
This seemed TO puzzle him more than
ever. He looked around in astonishment.
l could clearly see that expression on
his face. For a moment he stopped and
was evidently thinking very hard. Once
more be got through the log, with the
same result Of finding himself in the
"home field. "
This time 1 am sure, if he could have
talked he would have cried out,
"SpOoksl"
He stood quite still for few seconds,
shifted the air, and l could distinctly
see the bristles on his back gradually
rising up on end Suddenly he uttered
peculiar kind of "bock" and ran with
all his might toward the other pigs
The little pig was mover seen in that
part of the field again. Many time we
tried TO drive hiur TO the old log. but W.

The Ewing damage case against the
Mayor and Council OF Wilmington, is
about finished for the second time at
this term of Superior Court Now the
second jury will have the question of
damages TO wrestle with, and may
have 10 spend days and nights deliber-
ating and bring in another disagree
ment.
The defence builds strongly on the
points that first, the city of Whining
ton had no constructive notice of the
gutter plate into which Mrs. Ewing
stepped being either broken or open,
and second, that when ones foot is
badly injured and a physician is not
called in for three months, all risk is
taken by the sufferer.
After Horace G. Knowles had made a
strong opening to the jury. President
Samuel Chambers, of the Street and
Sewer Department, swore that no bad
condition of this gutter plate had ever
been called to their attention. Corrob-
oratiye testimony was given by Col
onel Francis McCloskey, street inspec-
ter; ex-Fresident J. Newlin Gawthrop;
James T. Chandler, owner of the prop
erty, and Citizens H. f. Dure, Thomas
Dill. Walter G. Davis, Charles Whann,
w. j. Ellison and A. S. Reed
Drs W. W. Bullock and ]. r. V.
Blocksom denounced the womans ac-
tion as imprudent in not calling in a
physician Immediately after she was
hurt.
There was a sensation in court at
the close of this mornings session.
Judge Cullen says it will be brought
up as any state offense at the proper
time
After the testimony was in for the
defence Juror James NJ Grose asked
to be discharged that he might attend a
funeral.
The court granted this request and
discharged the jury until 10 o'clock,
AS DR.. Smith was leaving the Court
House one of the jurors approached
him and asked to see the plate of the
picture and, not knowing that he was
a juror DR.. Smith allowed him to do
so. This was against the law and
caused a sensation in the court, which
will be Strengthened out later"
City Solicitor Harman hurried into
court and, with Mr.. Knowles, did his
best to protect DR.. Smith from a charge
of contempt Judge Cullen was partic-
ularly indignant about the affair.
Court adjourned until tomorrow.

DOVER, Jan. 6.-Seeing that they
were meeting with but scant courtesy
at the hands of the Democrats of the
House the seven Kent county Union
Republicans who claimed election to
the House, left the hall and went
down stairs. Entering the old state
library room they took possession of il
and its dust and dirt and settled down
to business. They were joined by the
seven Sussex county claimants.
Luther S. Conwell was elected tenn
porary chairman and then the whole
crowd repaired to the Hotel Richard
son, marching down the street with
DR.. Marshall at their head. with

They went into the private parlor
and were just cleverly getting down TO
their rump work when the proprietor
requested them to vacate the parloT
and take to the reading-room. They
complied, and were soon at it again,
with Mr. Addicks as their guardian
angel.

pared the order of procedure, and the

Then came the funny Kittingel
break about the rump Senate and the
