THOUGHTS OF THE TIMES.
A BOOMERANG. He who digs a pit for the other fellow should be sure of bis own foothold. J saw this demonstrated by Mr Bavin when addressing East Sydney electors at, Haddington the other night. “Poor people like we,' - ' Mr Bavin began, but was interrupted by a storm of dissent. “1 beg your pardon.” Air Bavin apologised. “I see I must speak tor myself. I certainly am a poor man,” he continued, “thanks to politics, hut 1 am glad that my audience is so much better off.” Thus with the wiliness of an old campaigner be side-stepped a hostile demonstration and eventually entrenched himself in their sympathetic- attention.— Sydney Paper.
