At nearly every ex-soldier spread held in New Zealand a “captured” Boer flag is shown. If people knew the desperate straits most captures were in to find a few shillings necessary to buy a flag, hardly ever'exhibited, and usually made in Leeds, they would agitate for V.C.'s for the “ capturers.” The authorities, who convicted and sent to gaol a Christchurch woman who appeared to answer a charge of drunkenness for the 122nd time, ought _to know better. The woman is as much diseased as anyone now in Porirua.
The 'Judge on the Bench, the lordly M.P., .The man on the stage, whoever he he, The lawyer so grave, the jolly 'Ja*k Tar, The stern-visaged soldier who’s been in the war, The hard-working man, the knowing M.D., All happen on this one point to agree : Thae for very bad colds the thing to procure Is W. E. WOODS’ .GREAT PEPFEK- ' MINI! .CURE.
