KISSED THE WRONG GIRL.

* ! A YOUNG MAN’S MISTAKE. The bustle of the holiday traffic at , ® 1 almerston North railway station has been relieved by at least' a couple ot humorous incidents. In one case a train had just pulled into the station, when a well-dressed and attractivelooking young man approached a prettv young lady standing alone. She was peering into the laces of the people rushing by and it was quite evident she was seeking someone. The young man thought he bad foiihd the- young lady ho \vas to look ior. ‘‘There vc-u aie lie said, and before she could express any astonishment at being accosted .she received a kiss that would have done credit to the movies. Ibe young woman received a great surprise and stepped back with astonishment, thinking the young man had gone mad. The voung ladv was not ‘Celia.”

When the New L’lyniouth express had' sienmed up to the platform a mother, father and all the children clambered aboard with armfuls of luggage. Just as the party had settled in their seats and the train was about to. move off, the wile screamed, “John. T’ve forgotten to turn off the gas stove!” Time, tide and railway trains wait for no man. but at the same time all tlie regulations of the department >could not stc.p the father making a hurried exit from the moving train, with the yell, “I’ll fix it.” He jumped off, and the last his agitated wife heard was the announcement, “I’ll follow next train.” Fortunately there was another express later.
