In the train. The man who had been there : “ Yes, the Government was ‘ turning it on ’ at Pahiatua the night before the election. I was in the hotel when So-and-So (naming a prominent pnlitican) was shouting for all hands. I wouldn’t have had a drink if I knew it came out of So-and-So’s pocke,t, but as I knew I was only getting a bit of my own back I didn’t see any harm.” A former Bishop of Worcester was travelling by train to the West of England, and when the train stopped at Banbury he resolved to take advantage of the opportunity to get one of the cakes for which the town is famous.

The Bishop handed him sixpence with the request that he would bring him one, adding, “ With the other threepence buy one for yourself.” “In due lime the boy returned eating his Banbury, and handing threepence in coppers to the Bishop, said, “ There was only one left, guv’nor.”

Mr Hawkins on himself in the Pahiatua Herald: “In view of the hard battle Mr Hawkins had to fight, with the great influence used against him, he may be heartily congratulated on his victory.
