BY THE WAY.

Some Collections and Reflections. BY ONE OF THE BOYS. Steere of the Bay team did much bullocking work. A London climber’s life was saved by a loaf of bread. A relief worker says bread is always handy to fall back on. The English public want Larwood. But they aren’t batting against him. It has been said that Canterbury take their Rugby too lightly. “Is your husband a bookworm? ’’ “No; just an ordinary one.” She: Ilow did you learn to kiss so well ? lie: Oh, I used to blow a bugle. “ I take long walks for my complexion.” “ That's the worst of living so far from the shops, isn’t it? ” “Do you like your new* sister, Tommy? ” • “ Oh, yes,” replied Tommy. “ She’s all right; but there’s a lot of things we needed more.” Teacher: Well, Tommy, have you made out a list of the eleven greatest men? Tommy (cricket enthusiast) : Almost, sir. I’m still short of a good fast bowler. Charlie: Has the depression hit you yet. Bill? Bill: I should say it has. First I lost my job and had to go and live with father; then I sent the two children to the orphans’ home; my wife went back to her mother, and I shot my dog. Charlie: Things are bad, aren’t they? Bill: Yes; and if thinks don’t look up I’ll have to give up my car.
