MET HIS MATCH.
A certain well-known Dunedin lawyer was fond of setting traps for workmen who might happen to be working in or about his house by leaving money or some valuable article about. One day last week a workman, well aware of this fact, found a half-crown lying on the floor in one of the rooms. He smiled as he said to himself; '* I know what that's for." And taking a brace and bit from jhis bag he drilled a hole in the coin, and putting a large screw nail through it, he fastened it securely to the floor, The lawyer has not set any traps since.
