A TARANAKI TRAMP ABROAD.
Travelling on "the never" seems to be a favourite plan in Taranaki. Ever since ' ' the majah" instituted the system of free passes and provision in the Civil Service for the scions of the very much inter - married " governing families " of that favoured district, they have been imbued with- a taste for cheap travelling. The latest and most ingenious device is described by a New.Plymouth correspondent : "A young" man who moVes in the best society and is possessed of considerable means, desired to'stefiure a cheap trip to Dunedin, and with this object in view he hit upon the following neat expedient ■: — Having borrowed a suit of qlothes from one of the members of the Fire Brigade, he persuaded the captain to let him go to Dunedin as an emergency man, and thus secured a free passage at the expense of the public."
