Mr Walter C. Kelly, "the famous Virginian Judge," is an American who has been "travelling some," and he published some quaint opinions of the Dominions. "In Cape Town," he says, "a. man asked .me if I didn't think-the town was nicely laid out. 'Yes,' I said, 'but why delay the burial!'" As for New Zealand, Mr Kelly disposes of it conclusively dn the sentence: "I'M never go there any more." It is a country, he explains, where the 'women vote. And it is entirely under the domination of Scotch Presbyterians. Heaven, save us from the kind of flaws thiey have in New Zealand! They haven't been able to stop the sum shining yet, but they'll try to do it. New Zealand as •a 'Goumtry is the result of the poverty of England and Scotland. The people of. New Zealand are so afraid they may happen hack, into their old starvation state that they are the tightest wads on the habitable globe. A New Zealander wouldn't pay five cents to see King George and Queen Mary in a double trapeze act.
