STORY OF A £1 NOTE.
PRACTICAL JOKE AND THE SEQUEL. At a meeting of the committee which organised the Windsor hospital parade in London recently it was reported that an Eton boy took a £1 note from another boy’s hand and put it into a collecting-box as a joke. The boy who owned the note had applied through the vicar of Eton for the money to be returned, as he could not afford to give so much. It was pointed out that the boys had put all sorts of valueless things in the boxes, and last year the procession was delayed for 20 minutes while a golf ball was got. out of a collectingbox. It was decided to inform tile vicar that if the money was sent to the Eton boy the members of the committee would have to pay it as the accounts had been passed.
