BOUGHT A PIG N A BAG
EXPERIENCE OF TWO WELL
KNOWN MEN.
What Happened to Some Prize
Pigs That Shrunk In
Sizc-OId Phrase
Verified.

Buying pig in bag is a phrase
which has long been used as an ex-
preston befitting the requirement of
something the geographical dimen-
sions of which are unknown to the
purchaser.
To Judges Jeffreys and Tydings, of
the Orphans Court, however, has it
been brought home with the most
startling exactness, for they really did
buy pig in the bag. On several oc-
casions they purchased small pigs from
Mr. Thomas Barrow. of Camp Parole,
and were much pleased with their bar
gains. This spring they wanted more
and asked him to supply the grunters.
He stated that he had the very pigs
that Would bring them fame and
money by simply being their proud
possessors.
The pigs were delivered some DAYS
since and made themselves perfectly
at home IN the pens of the respective
judges. 1t was not until several days
later that they had an opportunity of
gazing at their purchases. After look.
ing into the pens for some little time
they at last managed TO make out some
small dark object in a far corner.
Securing magnifying glasses of great
strength they finally discovered that
the pigs were there all right. After
much maneauvering they managed to
pick up the small objects. but they
were so infinitesimal that they slid
through their fingers. To illustrate
how small the pigs we're Judge JET
freys put one of them in his pocket.
When he tried to remove it he was
forced to make several trials, as it had
got mixed up with several small ar
ticles. Mr.. Barrow said that he could
not understand the conditions which
had caused such an alarming shrinkage
in the pigs, for when he delivered
them they were SO large that he was
afraid they would break down the
pens in which they had been placed.
He decided to make an investigation
and so thorough was this that he was
enabled to explain the whole matter.
He closely questioned all concerned
and finally found that Iafter the pigs
had been delivered they had managed
to get hold of large quantity of con-
densed milk: This had condensed the
pigs to such an extent that they had
grown infinitesimal.
Mr. Barrow wanted TO prosecute
his investigation further by feeding
more condensed milk to the little grun.
ter, but the judges would have none
of it, as they we're sure that the pigs
would be condensed until they faded
from sight.

distinguished : between losing the
soul and its final loss, and said frivoli-
ty is running the young womanhood
of our land, as ambition of worldly
success is our young manhood. he
then emphasized the duties OF parents,
who neglect to teach their children
the value of spiritual things and use
full lives. To the candidates just con-
firmed he said few words in conclu-
sion about doing something seriously
