A practical joke played on an old sandwiclimfin at an Auckland street corner the other day had an ignominious ending for the joker (says the “Star”). A smartly-dressed young man took out a pocket knife and cut one of the cords of the sandwich-board, which fell to the ground. The old man follovyed the practical joker.and, catching him by the nose, nulled it so vigorously and persist ently that the young fellow was brought to his knees, much to the amusement of the onlookers, who had assembled in considerable force. The sandwichman released his victim, went back for his boards, repaired the damage, and calmly continued his duties.
