It was heart "rendering" Tuesday night to see our local Mathematician engaged in a desperate hog ohase. During the day our fellow pedagogue had purchased two likely piglets, depositing them carefully in a prepared pen. After a hard dayM work at solving equations, etc, he was much alarmed to find that they had flown. In a short time the portly gentle­man, who incidentally is a great organizer, had marshalled the forces of.most of the able-bodied in the south of Magrath, include ing Warren-Harris, Pig No. one was soon located and finally] succumbed to a "Flying reverse tackiB” at the hands of the grocery clerk. A weasel couldn’t have evaded him. Our friend was | pleased, patted Warren on the back and lodg-f, ed the offender under a neighboring tub. [, In a few minutes pig No. 2 was located, f I who by this time was leg weary and surrend-f j ©red without a struggle to the ominous P | multitude of pursuers. The owner was trailt ) ing the passe but still in command. The j wayward pig was then returned to the friend' Ily tub but when'Mr. Woolley raided -the tub, / I he found pig No. 2 to be pig No. 1, The Gtade XI Math, students aro vainly I attempting to formulate an equation to .ex- ] plain how pig NIo. l-/-pig No. 2 pan equal | one pig.
