Aunt Alary found a lone, lost lainb, Its fleece drenched through with dew; ’lavas prime spring meat, and proved a treat, With bacon in the stew, Aunt Mary caught a dreadful cold, ’Flu frightens spinsters frail and old. Alum put .Aunt Alary’s ’flu to flight With Woods’ Great Peppermint Cure, last night. According to the authorities who planned what illustrative ..carvings should bo included in the runanga house at Waitara, it would have been invidious to select any one of the three canoes Aotea, Kurehaupo and Tokomaru, which claim to have transported the ancestors of the Maori tribes now occupying the Taranaki coast.
