Tlie other day a Kaiapoi lady drew £l6 out of the; Post Office Savings Bank at Christchurch (says the Lyttelton Times). Early in the afternoon she went to the slot outside the. Chief Post Office to get a penny stamp, and placed her purse on the top of the slot machine while she, affixed the stamp and posted the,- letter. Absent-mindedly she walked off, leaving the purse, the Ipss’oft which she did not discover until she returned to Kaiapoi in the evening. She lost no time in ’phoning to the Christchurch Post Office in the faint hope that somebody had been honest enough to take the purse to the counter. The clerk gave a negative reply, but asked the lady to wait until he had a look at the machine. There the purse lay, with its contents undisturbed.
