The settler found out later that no charge had been made for the hire; cd the tool, and is now wondering if, the Maori really has a reputation as a prophet or merely the nickname bf “Profit.” Big, reductions in ladies’ footwear. Greatest bargains ever offered for 14 days; big variety of styles and colours. See window display.—Masters and Son.*
