Lucky Dogs.

If a Hastings grocery business suffered through a motor-truck being carried along a railway line in Hastings recently many domestic animals of the town at least profited. The Vehicle was laden with a miscellaneous assortment of groceries at the time of the accident and more than one lucky dog on the scene spent a busy half-hour devouring portions of the eatable that lay scattered over a wide area. Fowls Cause of Trouble. “On the troublous sea of matrimony it is not often that a shipwreck happens through fowls,” remarked his Honour Mr Justice Quilliam, during the hearing of a divorce case in the Supreme Court at Palmerston North. “No, but it seems to be the position in this case,” said counsel, who rfiade it clear that a resumption of domestic felicity had depended upon the husband of the respondent giving up poultry keeping, a thing he had refused to do. His Honour commented that this was the sine quo non. Respondent said her husband had preferred his fowls to her.
