AN IDLE "HANDY MAN."
TEN 'YEARS IN THE NAVY. " How long have you been out of work?" Mr. E. 1). Moslcy, S.M., asked a defendant in the Police Court in Christchurch last week. " Three years," was the reply. " There is something wrong somewhere, isn't there ? Have you tried to get work?" "Yes." " Well, what is your trade?" "I'm a sailor really, but I have had to stay at home. I was ten years in the Navy." " Why don't you try 'he country? You would be better working for 10s a week there than doing nothing in the town." " I don't know anything about farms." " With ten years in the Navy you must be a handy man and a handy man can always find something to do in the country. I'm a farmer's son and I know."
