A "WOWSER" HUNT.
They have been having a "wowser" hunt. down CQuristchuroh way. Many good men, and women too, have ibeen in pursuit of tlie interesting fantasy. One man, writing to the "Lyttelton Times," sayis:— During my "hunt" 1 1 met an individual 1 reeling towards a home that did not possess many attractions. Itewas evident he "had for a good while (spent his money for "that _\\{hich is not bread." I made enquiries, and was assured lie was nbt la "wowser/ 1 A few days later there staggered across any ,patih a gaping: in<aii vidua 1 witfli a deep ,gasfh beneath one eye, besides several sni'allier wounds, the .Mood trickling down his coat. Aigain I enquired/ ibut was assured he was no "wowser." I have the misfortune to live inear an individual. who indulges so freefy in "Dutch courage" that he oomes home at aiight to raise Cain fior luiis wiifo and children and fill the air with the most obscene expressions, ibriit the one thing lie thanks (his stars for is that he is not a "wowser.'' I turned my attention to a-gang of not over intelligent hoodiuimls who seem, to have-no occupation, (besides that of .expectorating at* a street-corner and indulging in veiled, obscenity, only to find (that they -were not "wowsers."
