They Ate That Dinner

THEY ATE THAT DINNER

THE HOGS TOOK ADVANTAGE OF A PICKETS SLUMBER.

And A Gay Picnic Party at Pleasant Lake Were Left Dinnerless Recently.

A gay party of picnicers assembled on the banks of Pleasant Lake in Freedom a short time ago. The ladies of the party were liberal providers and brought a delicious basket dinner. Before dinner the party took boats, leaving Charles Hildinger, of Bridgewater, as picket over the dinner While they were gone Hildinger forgot he was a picket and thought he was a policeman and so went to sleep. While he slept a drove of gentle white hogs, possibly of the hungry razor back variety, at least the party thought so, came upon the scene of action and proceeded to devour the biscuit, the cake, the cheese and the other eatables, until there was nothing left of that dinner. Still the picket slept on, untroubled by the hogs until the party returned. One lady was heard to hint that the hogs had not considered him worth eating.
