Knew What He Wanted.
An old prospector from the ShotOYei” way, whose education had been neglected, was staying in a city hotel recently, and at breakfast on the first morning of his holiday the waitress handed him the menu (says a Southern exchange). "After studying it for a moment ho pointed to-the' line and said: .“I’ll have some of that.’; The waitress' replied: “But that word is ‘breakfast’.” “Well,”' replied the old timed, ‘that’s what I want;' ain’t it?” ! • Unexplained Bloodstains. ,When the proprietor of a Wellington ' billiards saloon opened his premises recently, he found a pool of blood in one of the rooms. The, police were communicated with, and their investigations in the saloon and on a verandah roof outside it, where bloodstains were found, caused a crowd of curious onlookers to gather in Willis street. As far as can be ascertained no injured person has been traced by the police, nor has anybody come forward to explain the presence of the bloodstains.
