How it Came About.
A storekeeper at one of the digging towns on the West Uoast of the South Island (says an exchange) asked a lady of that classic region to pay an account, of which sho said she had his receipted bill. He said not ; so she travelled home m the cart, some twenty miles or so, 'and got it.. Then she went back toi the store, and the man said it was all a mistake. A little later he was lying down on the floor of the shop with his head on a flour bag, and his feefc m a herring cask, while the lady; performed' on him with one of his best brooms. After a bit he got up, and was carrying; the customer out of the shop, when his wifa (who had been out to milk the cows) turned the corner. He is now a porous-plaster package, lull of nothing else but groans and explanations.
