Recently Constable McGowan arrested at Ruatiti a man who is believed to be either a. Turk or a Bulgarian, who bad evidently chosen this hinterland as a refuge (says the Raetihi correspondent of the ‘ Wanganui Chronicle’). Luckily the man was in bed in his camp when the police stepped inside, and his bound towards his rifle was too late. The captive was brought to Raetihi, thence to Wellington, and he is now safely interned. It is reported that on the journey the captive! was volubly talkative., and made no attempt to disguise his. sympathies. He spoke of submarine visitations, and evinced great contempt for the port defence of New Zealand. His remarks in this, connection suggested something more than random braggadocio. On the same evening at Raetihi, the local police also arrested an Austrian who had been in the Rnatiti district for some time. Ho was also interned. A story from overseas tells of the. experience of a Sammy who went, into a bar in France, and, calling for beer related to everyone within hearing how he guessed that he and his mates had come over ‘‘to clean up .this mess, on this West front.” “That’s very kind of you, indeed!” replied the grisette who handed him the liquor; “but you know, we expected you earlier.” “ Ah, waal, we’re here now and we’re goin’ to get busy right away. Say, miss,” lie went on as he took a sip from the glass, “ this beer is flat!” “Well, she retorted, “what do you expect ? It’s been waiting for you for about three years!” “ KEATING’S POWDER ” destroys BUGS, FLEAS, MOTHS, BEETLES, and all other insects, whilst quite harmless to domestic animals. In exterminating Beetles the success of this powder is extraordinary. It is perfectly clean in application.
