The most intellectual men are generally the ugliest. i¥ Christchurch drunks flooded Asht ytnirton at holiday time. Ah Sin’s view: A god on the mantelpiece is worth a dozen in the sky. Some individuals evidently started life too many yards behind scratch to have a show. Seddon sometimes has eggs for breakfast, but we believe the fact has no political significance. In one Christchurch restaurant you pay your bob as you walk in. That gent’s none too slow. Far off hills look green, but far off debtors, who have done a mizzle, aren’t so green as they looked. Waipawa ridicules Waipukurau, and claims that Waipuk. is mostly owned in Waipawa. Most young wives take pains with their cooking. Their husbands take pains after they have eaten it. There may be half-a-dozen essenUMs in the making of whisky, but tnipre’s only one way to lower it. A. man can no more get away from his conscience than he can from his shadow. Both are plaguy nuisances. A little bird sat on a telegraph wire, And said to his mates, “ I do declare If wireless telegraphy comes into vogue, We’ll all have to sit on the air.” Government employees are more against the Government than anyone else.

They are asking M.H.R. Gray (Christchurch) to see the exhibition through as Mayor —£14 a week the double. The three postal officials who were responsible for the horrible voucher fiasco are lucky in escaping with the sack. They ought to have been tied up in the sack and dropped < overboard.
