THOSE RUNNING SHOES
LETTER TO CABINET
There are two. explanations for an amusing letter addressed to Cabinet by a Wellington bootmaker (states the Christchurch Star-Sun). The first, and most likely, is that he is blessed with a delightful*sense of humor. The second is that he is deficient of humor altogether. The Rev. A. H. Nordmeyer, M.P. for Oamarn, told the story the. other morning when lie passed through Christchurch on his way south. The bootmaker addressed a letter to Cabinet, following Mr. R- Semple S remark anent providing running shoes for the many boards which have been administering services in New .Zealand. The bootmaker modestly informed the Cabinet that he was acknowledged to bo the best maker of running shoes in New Zealand, and he was ready to place himself unreservedly in the hands of Cabinet for the purpose of furthering Mr. Semple's plans. He would be pleased to hear from Cabinet regarding the matter of those shoes.
