It is not an unusual .sight the -sliifling of one's treasured household goods per medium of one's arms and some amount of puffing and blowing. lt\ is better for one's peace of mind generally. A man sauntered bravely along the Avenue at Wanganui on Saturday morning hugging an old grandfather's clock". He got nearly to the end of block in safety; a few more yards he traversed and then collided with a man conning around the corner in ia burry. The man with the clock thought only of his treasure; the other of the smacft he bad received from it. He rapped out angrily thusly: "For Heaven's sake, man, go and buv a. watch and don't be carrying that fool of a tiling around with you.'-'—Wanganui Chronicle.
