"Three heads are better than one."

—We have it fro n an Australian paper th-'- f , " The man who doe* not believe that "three heads aro better than ons,' is the father of ucw-born triplet?."

— Sccbie, Seobie, how could you? Are you not making a mountain out of a molehill 9 Why didn't you ''speech your own speech " and not Awkward Ned's?

— "Mias Jrieprassible" was like a "bull ir a china sbo-p " last Tuesday evening, and hit out right and left. — Poor eld "Long Tex." got a warm time on Tuesday last — so did -a tew others.

— Bkck Watch (m his paper) was glad that it was only in a dream ihat he incurred the displeasure of our "scratchetary." Some other Kiembers would also have been glad if at 'ast Tuesday's debase iheir fight with the sei. had also been a dream.

— Every Tuesday evening, after the debate, would some of our members please- inform the rest of the club how many stars they counted during the course of the evening? They evidently consider that the footpath, -with Jieaven's dome far a ceiling, makes a better club room Ihan the one. provided.

— How would this do as a subject for an impromptu speech? "Where Do You Read the Book Which You Borrow from the L. and D. Club's Library?" One or two books lately

notice have been "ornamented" with dirty pieces of grass, sand, etc., between the leaves. — Dear Civis, the badge which you saw was a D.L.F. one, and the wearer was T. I. C. I was standing on the Dowling street corner of Princes street one evening during show week, when two L.F. passed. Your "Hulloa, L.F. !" was so sudden that I hadn't time to answer Unlucky me!

— Judging from various reports, the Invercargill Club's social proved a great sucoess. It must have bee-n a treat, oh, ye southerners, to see Ceres as a clergyman. — ■ A certain L.F. knows the value of -the c!d adage, "borrowed plumes," etc Hats of>''

— It is really surprising to note the marked difference in attendance at the club on an ordinary night and on a social evening — not that our attendance is at any time small.

Our "ladies man" had an unusually heavy fall when at Kaikorai "Valley. As he was about to kneel on a cushion, for some reason or other someone kindly kicked the cushion away, and his knees got the benefit. No bones broken, we hope.

— Our genial vice-president, Black Watch, took his departure on the sth inst., for Glencmai'u, amidst a perfect shower of gool •wishes, such as: "Good luck!" "Speedy return." etc.

- — Two of our prominent clubmates have been in the land of dreams lately. One a fair member — was thinking of eggs (!) and the other of a surprise party greeting him.

— Nipper settled himself down at Oto'iia during the week. — About 20 » elubbifces recently took a Kaikorai Valley L.F. by surprise-. I believe they ei: joyed the outing — and the long walk.

— Memo. Mcresrs Blondel and Co. — DMt sjrs : Kind'y forward me a Colidof one. Cheque on delivery. — Seobie was responsible for at least one breakage last Tuesday night. You would never make a mechanical engineer, chum

— Received your note, Constable. Am girding up my loins. — Greetings, T. C. I. The more the merrier.

— And now we close, a few ticks more across the face of Time.
