A storekeeper al one of the digging towns on the West Coa^t of the South Island (says an exchange) asked a lady of lhat classic region to pay an account, of which she said she had his receipted bill. He said not; so she travelled home in the cart, some twenty miles or so, and got it. Then she went back to the store, and the man said it was all a mistake- A little later he was lying down on the floor of the shop with his head on a flour bag and his feet in a herring cask, while the lady performed on him with one of his best brooms. After a bit he got up, and was carrying the customer out of the shop, when his wife (who had been out to milk the cows) turned the corner. He is now a poms plaster p'iekage, full of nothing else but groans and explanations. ■airii'Ji) anil ■nmj»wwwnmwnm7W!ailii!iiiiLWf.||iii m^
