"JOY RIDING."
THE YOUNGSTERS' ESCAPADE. Ry Telegraph—Press Association. Palmerston North, Last night. The fascination of joy ricles has reached the junior classes. Two Palmerston youngsters, not over six years old, slipped slyly to precarious seats on the side step-at the rear of the guard's van of the Woodville train this afternoon, bent on a joy ride. The train proceeded at an ordinary pace through Palmerston Square where two serene young faces returned the townsfolks' looks of horror with easy unconcern. As the speed quickened their hold of the world appeared to grow unsteady, and shortly before reaching Terrace End, two miles out, they tumbled off in \ unison, rolled over like two rubber balls, struggled to their little legs and ran home for their lives. Nobody seems to know their names.
