''There's a lot of interest taken in politics," soz Mumbles to me. "But," sez 1, "Mumbles, tho man as takes pollyticks too seriously is a. fool." Next nite he wakes moVp in bed and sez, "Did yer see the Derminion rl' "Did.l wot?-' sez I. "Yes, I saw Mr Pap had bagged (in his mind) : the Motueka, Nelson, and Marlborough jseats for the Massey Party." Then I j sez, "Don't worry. Mumbles, it reminds [ nic of the proverb, 'Blessed is -the man who bloweth is own horn, lest it be not blowcd.' Just fancy tho Hanglo-Indian tea man to boat Roddy, Tommy, or any other Reform man to wipe out 'Arr.y. 1 don't think! I knows nothing about the lawyer McCal, but I've! no doubt that he'll be on time at the finish." I tells Mumbles that I 'opes the people will keep cool and not negkct the important matter of makin' their 'oraes comfortable a.nd 'appy, and attractive, and Bill Lock can best advise 'cm on this matter. For, arter all, what's the value of pollyticks as compared to a 'appy and comfortable 'ome? My advice to Liberals and Reformers is, "Don't neglect yer 'omes, but go right away to Bill Lock's great furnishing place, select some of the lovely and up-to-date things there, which yer can buy at such low prices, and make ver 'ome 'appy. Look's 'aye a lovely stock. If yer don't believe me just go and see fer yourselves. You'll" be welcome at Lock's."* •• .
