It is not generally known that for one glorious hour at any rate Mr Massey was once Premier of England; and, curiously enough, Mr Lloyd George subsequently acknowledged with delight (hat the responsibilities of (lie office were most admirably disdiairwecl. It happened in the bright dawn of a May morning in England (states the Auckland ‘ Herald '). Mr Massey had been hastily summoned from the Congress of Paris in 1919 to London, and was thus obliged to cross the Channel in a perky destroyeivfrom Calais to Doyer. His colleague iu the unexpected to follow was Sir Ernest Pollockj then Soli-citor-General, a great Dickensian, with a ready legal mind for humor.

The British. Nary had blundered. A wireless message from headquarters hadi stated: “Prime Minister arrives Dover daylight to-morrow.” The admiral was a man, of quick resource. He mentioned that an excellent breakfast had been prepared, and that it would be a pity to let it spoil, “Ah!” said Mr Massey, “ I think that in that I shall represent the Prime Minister of England with full justice to Mr Lloyd George.” That tickling, irritating cough can bo promptly relieved by a few drops of “XAZOL” taken on lump sugar.
