THE popular Tom : 'Caplin, -who has • for some. years past' carried on his business at the thriving little town of Whangarei, has taken a much needed rest, and gone across the Tusman to that Mecca of New Zealanders, Sydney, where he thinks the bracing air of the big continent will buck him up and send him back a hale and hearty man. • "Tom," as his friends call him, has every right to be called one of the Dominion's pest taxidermists, for m the past he has set up some beautiful specimens of bird life. His enthusiasm went'west when he discovered to his. cost that this much over-lawed state makes it an offence to stuff birds, or beasts, without a license, and so if his interest has not waned .it is at any. rate kept m restraint.
