Random Shots.
[By “ Old- Snoozer.”]
The liberality of tha New South Wales Government in providing a special
■week's work for the unemployed to give them spending money for the Christmas holidays resulted in a great increase of the number of that class, and the conceasson led to a large number of arrests for drunkenness. Just so. General Booth having stated in Sydney that " if a sheep walks over an acre of land out here they call it cultivation," the Bulletin rudely retorts : " Ai.d in England, if a hooknosed evangelist walks over a county once a year they call it religion."—Quite so. A Ohristchurch woman w.ho resides in one of the most aristocratic suburbs was considerably flurried when, on leaving church on Christmas Day, she -dis-. covered a tag on her brand new summer hat bearing the legend : " Reduced to 10s 6d."
