UNLUCKY SLAP ON THE BACK.
A friendly slap on the back “knocked a man out” at Folkestone, England, recently, and for a time held up a bus. A bus conductor, Mr. Robert Gillett, was collecting fares when a friend boarded the vehicle and greeted him with a hearty smack on the back. Mr. Gillett immediately swooned and collapsed on the platform of his bus, which was pulled up by one of the women passengers ringing the bell. , , v After first-aid had been rendered by a policeman, Mr. Gillett was taken to hospital. In the course of the war. when serving with the King’s Royal Rifles, he was severely wounded in the neck, and the slap opened his old wound. Later in the day he was able to go home.
