“MO” AND THE RABBIT INSPECTOR.
It is often necessary for the Manawatu Rabbit Board’s inspector to get into personal touch with occu-
iers of farm lauds in the district
during his periodical inspections and he is frequently informed on
inquiring at the homestead of some dilatory farmers that that worthy gentleman is not in. This is invariably the case with Native ratepayers. In one instance recently, related Mr. D. R. Barron to Thursday’s meeting of the Manawatu Rabbit Board, he had occasion to look up a Native who rejoiced under the name of “Happy Mo.” Frequent visits to the house had al-
ways had the same result. “Happy Mo” was not in. On this occasion, however, the Inspector met “Mo’s” son playing outside the house and inquired if his father was home.
Yes,” replied the child, “he in origlit,” and the child scampered in-
side to get his father. Some minutes elajpsed* however, and then the child re-appeared at the door and exclaimed “No, he not in today !”
