An exciting incident occurred as the ferry steamer Kestrel was coming in to the wharf on Sunday 'evening, a map diving into the water off. the’ and commencing, to swim arquijd* vigorously (says the Auckland Herald).

WHAT THEY SAY. I used to think that no matter what store I patronised the goods would be just the same. J just' dropped into any old place if I wanted a saucepan, razor, axe, bucket, or anything in the hardware line. My friends all told me that if I wanted courtesy and attention that 1 would get it af Prppe’si hid., and they were quite sup? as i'tjr as quality and price were concerned, Prune’s would give most satisfaction. At last, just to show that i did appreciate their advice, 1 thought I would give this firm a trial. The result fia9 more than satisfactory. I find the quality and price right. The treatment that I received at the hands'of the assistants left nothing to he desired. They carry a fine stock, and all my purchases were delivered promptly. What I like about this firm is the way they try to satisfy me. They do not try to get me to purchase goods that I do not require, but seem only anxious to give me satisfaction. Ffom now ou Frifflf’i.
