AHIPARA.
' The Englishman who tried his hand at an Irish eviction caught a Tar tar... The Unholy Alliance is broken up since Baalam and his ass blessed the Paddies instead of cursing them... Was it lore that made M. P. burst the buckle of his belt? or was it — -well, peaches?... What horse is the Board of Education going to run that they are trying to reduce the -weight of the Kaitaia teacher from 16 stone to jockey weight by making ,iim ride 16 or 17 miles a day to teach nobody. Is it a hobby horse? or is it a Peacock they are training him to run with ? Apropos of this the following (not quite) original couplet is dedicated to (a) Peacock : — He who does one wrong at first Then seeks to hide it, makes it worse. ...Specimen of Oruru gallantry : — Miss H. |to Tisitor from Oruru : "Mr Giles will you have another cup of tea." Giles : Noa your trade is • doone." Applause by Giles' pater. This is almost equal to Mr Bumble Bee who wrote to the Chairman of the Road Board, but addressed the letter to the Chairman's neighbour by way of compliment (?)
