A NARROW ESCAPE. A narrow escape from a shocking calamity was narrowly averted recently in a large township not far from Wellington. A young couple were crossing the road for the purpose of catching a tram when they narrowly missed being knocked down by a motor-car driven at a furious pace. By great presence of mind they managed to avoid a calamity and ultimately arrived at their destination, which was’ Shortt’s Furniture Warehouse, in Willis street, Wellington, were they had been recommended to purchase the furniture for their new home. 1 This firm having one of tho best reputations in New Zealand for the exceptional quality of their goods and extreme reasonable prices, together with first-class workmanship and finish, make that house second to none. As in the past Messrs ; W. F. Bhortt, Ltd., will endeavour to keep up the reputation they have already earned by supplying goods that are made of thoroughly seasoned timber and finished in a manner that will reflect credit on any home. Every article manufactured carries a guarantee with it,' while all goods for places out of Wellington are carefully packed and delivered on the train or steamer without any extra charge to the purcTTaser.—Advt.
