Heaven only jrnows a man's knee is harder than thte hardest chair, and yet a girl will sit on it, and fairly purr with contentment. !' In Dublin tße headquarters 'of the Municipal council is called the City Hall, but the chief official is the Town-clerk. To be a "city clerk" looks too much like a 30s a week man in'' Mincing-lane. Our cricketing authorities should have their brains (if they have any) taken out and brushed. Surely when, as; is now the case, so many balls dodge the wick-et-keeper, and no cnu oi runs arc scored, we require bye-la/ws to govern this particular branch of the game. Tom Wilford,. M:p., left Wellington yesterday for Rptorua, where, after a' year's hard toil, he is going to spend a three weeks' holiday, and Uee ! but won't tlid trout know it when Thomas starts to tickle 'em up ? Anyhow, Tom arrived at tbe Supreme Court last Thursday, per motor, and the machine, m addition to being splashed with mud, had its lamps alight, and the circunistanc.es surrounding the affair caused many jokes ii awl about the Court. Torr says that he went to a social evening, could hot when he arrived . home at midnight get the car into the garage, and left the machine outI side his residence with the lights flashing to warn off burglars. "Truth" accepts Tom's explanation, where others would ! not. A lawyer driving a motor car with lamps alight at a. 30 a.m. must indned cause many a poor soul to sigh at the widferi waai of this world.
