MASQUERADING IN STYLE.
.. * . WORKMAN TAKES HIGH OFFICE. (bt cable— press association—copyright.) (AUSTRALIAN AND' N.Z. CABLE 4SSOCUTIO*.) PERTH, January 21. A peculiar incident occurred at Government House. When a constable came on duty early on Tuesday morning he found a labourer named Bush dressed in- a military staff-officer's uni-
form, in the private secretary's room. The man informed, the constable he could go off duty, .claiming to be the Governor's son. Ho then walked into the drawing-room and made himself comfortable in an. easy chair. The constable called the footman, whom Bush, in - a nonchalant manner, sought to dismiss, but the footman recognised him as a man who had lately given considerable t trouble about Government House. . Lady Campion came on the scene, and denied that Bush was Tier son, whereupon he bolted. He was captured in the garden, and subsequently,sentenced to two .months' imprisonment on a charge of being unlawfully on premises. He was recently discharged from hospital after being under medical observation.
