A story both good and true is being told in select circles concerning the ways oL some mtn on iiimniploynmiii work- in a southern dial riel (stalos the “Otago Daily Times’’). The “intelligence department” attached to this particular group reported ilia I information had been received that on a certain day his Worship the Mayor would visit the scene of operations and see for himself how the work was progressing. It was decided, in order that Iho usual routine of the group should not bo unduly disturbed ami ilhat anything in the nature of a surprise visit should be guarded against that scouts should |>c posted at suitable vantage points. The day came, a perfect dawn being followed by one of those warm and soothing noons so! productive of drowsiness. The sen-! tries slept soundly al their posts. The ' Mayor arrived at the works and found the army in peaceful sleep. The courtmartial Ims been held, but the sentences have not yet been'promulgated.
