A happy man hired a taxi, and after he had climbed in, the driver leaned over and asked, “what street do you want?” “ What streets have you? ” he inquired. “ Lots of ’em,” said the taxi man, humouring him. Gimme ’em all,” he said grandly. After he had been driving for several hours, he ordered a stop. “ How much do I owe you? ” he asked. On being told ho said, “ Well, you’d better drive backwards until you get to the half a crown, ’cause that’s all I have got.” Auckland.—Morning call; Bank of Wales, £25; Mucky, Logan, 23s 6d.
