Mr. Woods, grocer, of Auckland, recently bought a picture at auction. Mrs. Woods was cleaning the picture and discovered a bundle of bank-notes, totalling £IOOO, concealed in the backing of the picture. Some of the notes had ben placed there as late as 1911 and yet the hider seems to have forgotten all about the horde. ' Mr. Woods did not put the money into his own account, but consulted his solicitor, who advised him to hand the money to the Public Trustee. Mr. Woods did as advised, and subsequent investigations have elicited the fact that the money was placed where it was found by a woman of eccentric habits and the money has accordingly been paid into her account.
NEVEB mind if you're not trangrv! Spend a shilling- at THE ALLIES.'
