In a certain South Taranaki town, as in most others, there live several “ wags” who are not above a practical joke, and they decided to provide some amusement, At an opportune time a certain prohibit/*! Native —a well-known character—walked stealthily out from behind a hotel with t. bottle in his pocket. The “ rogue ” looked up and down the street and ambled off. The local constable, however, had the scene and strode in the tracks of the native, who turned, and a quick walk developed into a run, the constable following suit. At long last the man in Blue caught up. The Native was a very pleasant fellow and -asked, the constable: “You liki the drink?” The bottle contained castor oil.
