THE URCHIN AND HIS PINEAPPLE.
A, SHOT AT A MOTORIST.
(By Telegraph—Special Correspondent) Christchurch, November tt. A small boy, with a. tear-etained and. grimy face, occupied a seat in the police station last evening, spending his time in nervous wonder as to what was going to happen to him. It appears that, armed with a pineapple,. he had climbed, a tramway pole and, from that point of vantage, looked for something to bit with the fruit which apparently did not oommond itself to his taste. A motorist came along, and the.boy. took a- shot at the machine.. His aim was only top true, and the motorist stopped the flying pineapple with his face. ' Hβ promptly puljed up, haled the boy from his exalted position, and gave him a drive to the police station in the motor-car. The indignant motorist's face was bleeding freely from several cuts, as the pin-e----npple must have struck him with considerable fqrce. The boy's parents were sent for by the police and, no doubt, they impressed on their offspring an apprecia? tion of the' dangerous character of hie amusement.
