A TICKLISH QUESTION

(From "N.Z. Truth's" Gisborne Representative)

THERE is the noisy drunk, the merry drunk, the laughing drunk, the fighting drunk, the singing drunk, the. rolling drunk, and the never -been-drunk before drunk. And now to the list can be added the tickling drunk. Alfred Frederick Charles Young (51), spends most of his time m the bush, but even if good wine needs no bush a lot of bush generates m him a desire for good wine.» Having quenched his thirst, and a little more, Albert Frederick set out along Gisborne 's main street, and just to show how tickled to death he was at getting back to civilization he tickled every woman he passed m the street. His antics failed to tickle the sense of humor of Israel Mirfield, J.P., who passed the word on to the police, and the police passed Albert Frederick into a cell, and thence into the dock. 'Albert Frederick was" mulcted of £2 and allowed 24 hours to get out of town. So back to the bush he went, a wiser and less tickled man.
