LATE FOR DINNER

I OOK not upon the wine when it ** is red— or the beer when it is frothy, if you are at all inclined ' towards pugnacity. Joseph Daley, a Wellington laborer,, did, and it will now cost him a hard earned £5 note. One day recently when he had partaken, he felt the pangs of hunger and headed for a restaurant in Manners' Street for a meal. His conduct,, however, earned a brightfully speedy ejectment into a side lane. The proprietor's wife took up guard at the gate to see that the wayward Joseph did not return, but the letter's designs on a meal ' were very real. He breasted up to the gate again and tried to force an entrance and in so doing, so far forgot himself as to hit the lady in the face. Magistrate Page in the Wellington Police Court did not approve of his conduct either, and handed out the little corrective medicine mentioned above. 0111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111
