Postmaster.

A Wellingt,.:' youth who has a penchant for practical joking had an experience the other day which should at least cause him to pondei over his future jokes before pt

petrating them. Being of the eligible age for military training, ht procured a registration form and filled it in, but not with the seriousness worthy of the duty of citizenship. To the question as to his employment he replied that he was in "S “two-up school,” and to the query ud.e-.her or not he had a horse, he replied that he had—a wooden rocking-horse, which he kept at home ! He then signed the paper, and sent it in. Unfortunately the area officer of his district could not see the joke, and took the document along to the police station, and asked that the .person who had so flouted the Defence Department should be arrested. The police officials demurred, and said it was only a joke, but the area officer was insistent—hail the man not plainly stated that he was in a “ two-up school “ He should be arrested either for frequenting a gambling place, or for making out a false declaration. So the man was arrested, taken to the police station, and given a thorough good fright.
