PORK WENT UP.
The Daily Picayune.


The explosion of a pig by dyna-
mite is something entirely new and
novel, and goes to show that'a pig
has little chance in this fast age.
The news that The chief of police
Cordele, Ga, kicked a pig in the
ribs and caused al explosion must
have made quite an impression,
for nothing of the kind was ever
reported before. The pig is said
to have eaten dynamite some time
previously, and, being loaded,
went off when it was kicked Fun
ny story, that. Wonder if it's
true? The pig has been the butt
of many jokes, and as he has been
ia the habit of ramming his snout
into things promiscuously, it is
within the pale of imagination to
believe that he took up dynamite
for one meal at least and paid the
penalty for his lack of good taste.
Aud they say it happened in GeOr-
gia.
