An amusing incident occurred at Sumnor recently, in which the chief actor was Tim, an Irish terrier, belonging to the electrical engineer of the Sumner Borough Council (states the “Lyttelton limes”). The dog had been accidentally locked in the Borough Council Chambers on the evening previous to that on which the Horticultural Society’s meeting was to be held, and when tho members of the association arrived at the Council Chambers, they found their entry barred by Tim, who continued to bold them up for some little time. While the dog was busy expressing his disapproval of one or two of the members, tho others managed to get halfway up the stairs, but before they could reach the electric switch, Tim had bounded up tho steps, and once more had them nt bay. Coming to the conclusion that discretion was tho. better part of valour, tho members retired down the stairs on masse, with the dog at their heels. This time Tim saw tho gentlemen right out to the footpath. At this juncture one of tho party made a dash for the door, bust just too late to rprevent it banging in his face.. As no one had a key, the meeting found itself outside on the footpath in company with Tim. Finally, one of (lie councillors get in through,the window, which hod b'rn left unbarred. Copyists!—There are always crowds of these commercial pirates waiting to steal other men’s inventions. Take no risks—patent your idea at once.
