YOUNG BRITON OF THE SOUTH.
As Joe. Storey was driving a mob of-steers through Te Awamutu the other day, the children were just coming out of school— somehow they are always coming out of school at these awkward moments. One young Briton of the South got into the centre of the road, and when called upon to clear out of that, quietly stuck his arms aicimbo and said it was the public highway, and he had as much right there as anybody. Just then a white steer made a bee line for him, and he made a bee line tor safety ; but as he started to lun his hat fell off, and before it reached the ground the steer caught it on his horns and went careering down the street waving it in triumph. What became of the young Briton? Oh, he was dug out of a very small hole under the school shortly after, when he requested the loan of a knife to make a fresli hole in his waste belt to tuke it up three inches. A syndicate is now being formed to buy the steer and train him for the ring and potato busiboss. —(Communicated.)
