CIGARETTES.

'Puff,' in the Wairarapa Standard has the following:— " Mayoi-al elections are a boil over iu some places! . Tes; I seethe gentle.and eloquent Luke, apostle of temperance, and no small beer as a preacher, has displaced lawyor. Brandon and wiped the floor with 40 per center Harris! The forty'per cent, business is a heavy handicap; it is like the gentle dejv from heaven—with a difference —it curses him who lends as well as him who borrows! ■

Cartertßii came out strong foi Deller; Hughan was distanced !

If he means biz he will niako a better show next.year! What about Masterton ? I see Horon wasn't a dead bird after all!

'No; there's a bit of the Phoonix about that old rooster I'm thinking! Pownall made good scoring and our Bob had a good run for a young 'un! Yes; but Bob has suffered from drawbacks—he is deficient in cheek and his modesty is overwhelming! Great snakes! Bob, old man, you must shake yourself up and get rid of your shyness for the next tussle! There's a sad house at Onehunga; Mrs Mayor Yates was defeated by nearly three to one! Alnvomcn lln their hours of case ' ltash men who hone your sex io please May make you Mayors, thcu wring your brow By pitching youout as they've donenow That has a familiar wring about it to me; I wonder if Mrs Yates felt her defeat much!

Not a bit; she knew the lark was ended, but she was game and saw the finish of it!

The burgesses had theii little fun, Mrs Yates has had her grand opportunity of showing how women could conduct public affairs, and both had come out at the small end of the horn!

It was a stupid joko—the borough has lost a 'year and Mrs Yates may ruminate on the well-known proverb Occasio acgreofoim-facikamitlilur! Caw's ghost! She may have missed her chance sonny, but suroly she has done nothing' to deserve that such language should be hurled at her!

Quite harmless boss, means you should never lose a kick when you hold the joker!

If Mrs Yates had tried simply to act tho woman she could have led all her councillors by the noso aud gone in for a second term flying; she tried to act the man and thus weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth;, Sic transit gloria mayoralty!. I had a caller the other day—get lots of them these times! What's your trouble, said I j want a job, said he. You want a billet do you,what are your qualifications ? I am a true Liberal! Are you a Justice oftfie Peace ? No! Have you filed vour schedule ? No! Have you surrendered a section in perpetuity ? No! Then you cannot be a true Liberal! Get! And he got! The genial though gusty Hogg had 55 sovs and a social given him at Pahiatua the other night! He could have spared the social but the sovs will come handy Hogg's a good worker and modest withal! No Sir, Oracle is he; when he opes his mouth any dug may bark —if ho thinks it worth while! Hogg's Parliamentary voice would smother dog or devil, when fairly let go! J But- i 'Tis the voice of no sluggard, No man can complain That the voice of our Hogg ; < Is uplifted in vain. ]

That's and there's anothei purso and social waiting for him al Mnstei'tou!

|_ He Ims earned them, sonny, There is not abettor representative in the House than Masterton's chosen!
