Jungle Thrills
IT is rumox-ed that all the tigers, lions, elephants: and gazelles of Africa %aye formed themselves into a mutual protection league. When pressed for a ■ reason, the chairman of the committee — one of the oldest residential lions m the jungle — informed "N.Z. Truth's", correspondent that it was understood "Julie" Speight was shortly leaving Christchurch for Kenya Colony. ' With his boon companion, George Mortlock, "Julie M is going out to the great open spaces m search of the adventure which is the birthright of every born Colonial. *' ' . At the same time, his departure will not meet with tod much favor m the city of the plains. ' . , For "Julie," despite the effeminate tinge to his cognomen, is just ■'■ about one of the most popular men who have ever donned an Old Boys' jersey m Christchurch. . A good, consistent player, he is a tower of strength both to cricket and football. . If, m the near future, we hear that a Kaffir fifteen is taking the field, we shall know that "Julie" has been at work.
