An' incident at Hikutaia recently reminded one pf .the time-honoured nursery rhyme, “Tom, Tom the Pip-" er’s Son.” “Tom’.’ in this case was merely a “cocky” whb had purchased a small pig, which was placed in,a sack. “Tom” bundled the pig unceremoniously under his arm.' and mounted a horse, the pig remonstrating a,t this harsh treatment with shrill—very shrill—shrieks.. .This programme of unmusical vocal effort on the part of the pig was continued long after “Tom” was well out of sight.
