Not very little, and not very big; Farmer Dingle had a little pig, It weighed two hundred or a few poundal over And brought flfty dollars when sold to a I drover. Then Farmer Dingle stood up and lied, And Mrs Dingle eat down and cried, Hogs eat so much valuable feed, said he, They need, said he, - Good feed, said she, So there's really no profit in pigee wigee. wee. One little man went to battle, One little man stayed at home One little man got white bread and butter. One little man got none, One little man cried see, see, see, You'll all eat brown bread 'Till the war is done.

A Miraculous' Eseepe Mrs R. J. Tindall received a letter from her son, George Moffatt, in which he relates a thrilling experience which he re- cently encountered. Along with a couple of comrades he was doing some washing in an old shack, away from danger as they thought, when suddenly shrapnel shell shot through the place and blew the chair George was sitting on from under him. It was certainly a close call, but like true epees the boys saw the funny side of their miraculous escape. The weather is very mild in France, in fact so mild that George has not worn his heavy cap that his mother sent him for Christmas.

"A strange piece of • human drift wood was gathered in by Constable Cemeron on Monday night of the, week. Ile V, as before the magistrate on .clay mid in the afternoon was escorted to Walkerton to serve sixty due M the county jai:. He was convicted as a "dangerous vag- rant" and tieat eppeare to ductile) hith fairly well. His arrest was tirade late at nieht, at the home of Mrs. Graham where he had arranged for lodging on the i,retence that he was about to, commence work at the Table Factory. Having no money nor clothing other than what he wore, he felt it necessary to explain that, he wae about to start earning some money though work. seems to lave been no part ea hie pro- gram. Ile told the eame gory at R. Mullin's where he put up from from Fri- day tuitil Monday, when be waa told to move on, as his stone..., about going to work did not hang together very well, and hailed given other evidences of being an undesirable character. - The arrest was not effected without some little excifement. Before prating his prisoner in the cell for the night Cam- eron was malting the Metal eettech of bis clothing While he Was thus engaged the prisoner being free of coat and vest made a break for liberty. Dabble; out of the hall he fled down Campbell- Street, showing good power ae a elm:Inter and loading the pursuing constable by several rods. Cameron had the misfortune to fall on the ice and the fleeing culprit increas- ed the lead. Passing Snindlet's benety he turned into the vacant space next: ,the Cain House mid 'ecaling , the high fence which barred the way was Making fur the barn when it wae his nun to fell: upon ice and before he cold& reeover he wt again in the clutches of the. constable "Who had • come ardued by; ind ' :Ode. It seems that the prisonerhad sus- tained some injury in getting over the fence and was in no 'condition to continue the erae. Calling Robt Dauglae to his aesietance Cameron soon had his man locked up safely for the night, • Among other articles found on his per- son were a dozen morphine inee.dles, end a medical examination hy the M. If. 0. showed that these had been freely used on the arms, lege and part of his body. . The prisoner Mar gave Me mule tie Hunter seems to be a drng fiend of an extreme type. Like others oiabiz teat he has become utterly degraded and is domi- nated by the one desire for Stimitlante. Constable Cameron had received Word from the Wingham police to louk out, for such a man as Hunter, as he was thought to be the thief who bloke into Meleib- bon's drugatore, at Wineham and stolen about $20 worth of morphine'. The Wingham men were not in a poeition to lay a charge of theft, and that is why a charge of vagrancy was made. The sixty daye at Walkerton ie not likely to do Hunter Much good a; he is evidently in need of along term of teeat- ment. Down at the Jail Farm we notice that prisoners are kept at a cost of 20 cent, per day. Such gents as Hunter would be much better there than roving the country stealing one half and begging the other half of his living Ile will cost the county a coneiderable sum; and in two months wn be turned out to renew hiS depredations and cheating. However. tinder the ch-cumetance; the Ivied authei- hies could do nothing ale with him."
