x, The cJiase after Powelka, desperate though it may be at present, has not been entirely devoid of humor. A Palnierston pressman was out "scouting" at AsMiurst, and knowing the roughness ot the country, was wearing some o(<l and rather battered clothing. A dusty bicycle ride hud not improved his appearance, but he was nevertheless very surprised when, on mounting a slight rise, he found himself looking down the bairel of a gun, and heard a very stern policeman ordering him to "Halt!" The pressman hove to with a jerk, and when he got .his breath back, asked if he was supposed to be Powelka. The bobby, with visions of a sergeant's stripes, said -he didn't know yet, but lie had seen a •photo of the wandering Joe, and as hie prisoner was a bit like him, he was jolly well going to make certain. An exhaustive examination and a full and explicit statement by the journalist convinced his captor (an importation from Hawcia) that he was not going to be sergeant yet awhile. The two then shook hands on it, passed the usual comment* on the cnnningness and general character of Joe Powelka, and went their separate ways—the reporter to look for something more "newsy." and the member of the force to continue the search for the elusive Joseph. MEX'S TAILOR-MADE SI'ITS. - A MOST SUPERR SHOWING AT' THE MELBOURNE 1 It is_ easy to make claims for suits. Any suit can be the best suit made, and most suits are—in advertisements. All the advertising in the world won't make a good suit. It Ims to be a good suit, if it is ijood, because iits cut. its materials and construction. Advertising cannot take the place of these things. We spend a good many hundreds of pounds a year advertising our suits, but that is not a reason why -you should buy a "Melbourne" suit. The reason lies in the suit itself. Perlums someone can write a better advertisement than we can write. Yet we are 'honestly convinced that no one can offer you so good value in a suit .as we can offer. Hence if yon did not take the suit, rather than the advertisement, into consideration, you would not be treating yourself fairly. Compare the "Melbourne" tailormade suits at 4fls "Od, 50s od, and <ss* -point by point with similar-priced suits on the market. an:l we have confidence that the "'Melbourne" niits will como out every time with flying colors. The finish of ''Melbourne" suits is absolutely the best. Their is nothing skimpy about them nothing "tinpnnny." Every "Melbourne" suit has that superior tailor-m-ule, veil-groomed, carefully, finished awearanee that is always a source of delight, and pride to the owner. Yet our prices arc low.—Advt.
