he had to get out in the fresh air
and he had to do it in hurry. And
so, just as Farmer Browns Row
leaned over for another attemnt to
look inside, Prickly Porky came out.
nc came out with a rush. For once
IN his life he actually hurried.
Farmer Browns Boy was in the
way. He had no time to pet ont ~
the way. Prickly Porky went rieht
between the legs of Farmer Browns
Boy. Yes, sir. that is just what he
did Farmer Browns Boy yelled and
jumped back. He tripped over his
own feet and down he went. Bowser
the Hound happened to be inst ho-
hind him and Farmer Browns Row
fell on him. Rowser yelped, scram-
bled to his feet, and with his fail
between his legs started for the bar,
as fast a s he could go. He went the
faster because Prickly Porky had
brushed against him and two or three
of his little spears were sticking in
one of Bowser's legs.
AS for Farmer Brown, who. Won
know, had been looking on, he was
laughing so that he had to hold his
sides So it was that Prickly Porky
came out.

was filling the little house of Bowser
the Hound wherein he had made i'm :
self at home. he had feeling that
1t had something to do with Farmer
Browns Boy and was intended to
make him come out.
SO, being so obstinate, he made UP
his mind that he wouldn't go out un-
til he absolutely had to. He coughcd
and choked and shifted about from
one place to another in the little
house, and fretted and whined, but
didn't even poke his nose outside.
Meanwhile, Farmer Browns Boy
was tanning the smoke in at the door
way from the little fire he had built
Just outside and was beginning to get

But PrickSy Porky didn't come out,
and Farmer Browns Boy did worry.
You see, he is so kind hearted that
he cannot bear to make any one suf-

Prickly Porky had found a crack
down close to the floor in one corner
and through this WAS getting some

To Farmer Browns Boy on the
outside it looked ss if nothing could

grew more and more worried. Prickly
Porky was quiet He wasn't NOV

tanning the smoke into that little
house and tried TO look inside Of
course. he had to go close to the
doorway in order TO do this The
smoke was in his own eyes and made
them smart.

JOHN Balm SUFFERS
SERIOUS ACCIDENT

The Pitkin Miner.
Thursday evening while coming off
the top of McCreedy Hill about two
miles below Pitkin. with a load Of
timber, the brakes Of the wagon
which John Balm was driving, gave
way causing, bad accident. The wag-
on was heavy and the logs made such
load that TIN, team was unable to
hold it after the brakes gave way.
Mr. Balm and the team made q he
roic effort to save themselves, but
after three Of the wheels had broken
John jumped, but was unable to clear
the load. He was thrown under the
wagon, but fortune or fate intervened
for large rock caught the wheel and
literally bounced it over his body,
and without doubt saved his life.
The horses fell about the same time
and in the pile up one of them was
killed
1t was perhaps half an hour that
they lay there until Lee Clayton, who
was behind, came along and went for
help, as he was unable to extricate
them alone.
Mr.. Balm was brought to Pitkin and
physician summoned. While badly
bruised he was found to have no brok-
en- bones and his injuries are not SO
serious as was at first feared.
The wagon was almost a total
wreck, and this with the loss of one
of the fine, big horses makes the
financial loss considerable. However,
to escape with minor injuries from
such a wreck makes one thankful it
was no worse and Johns many friends
were very glad to learn that he is
getting along well and will he out in
a couple of weeks again
