RANDOM SHOTS.

‘Political Suit-’ Large cheque pattern I presume. Public support is needed in recruiting the volunteer force. Big guns would, of course, greatly assist. Natural gas has been discovered in Sydney Heavens! They arc not- going to hav e an election there, too ? ‘ltalian Operations—Success Claimed.’ How extremely surgical ! Stilt the patient is not dead yet. I do wish people wouldn’t lie «o coarse Talking about ‘protecting the B stations.’ Dear me—what language!

I note that there i 3 a movement to abolish slavery in Abyssinia—all except the slavery of young Giuseppe with tho pack and the rifle. I hear that a sporting gentleman liquidly celebrating tile recent victory of the All Blacks was himself defeated. He tried to pronounce ‘Llanelly.’ Close games experienced by the All Blacks seem to indicate a strong British determination to avenge the biting of Prentice in the scrum. It- is pointed out t-hat people in Britain hav© less fear of war than people in the Dominions. But if Britain ever goes in for the publication of newspapers this nonchalance may cease. I sincerely hope that the headline ‘Jubilee Sweep’ may not mislead teetotallers. I assume it has no reference whatever to the habits of gentlemen engaged in the eradication of soot. I note that- the wages of bakers’ apprentices have been fixed by the Court. Am I in order in ambiguously declaring that these industrious apprentices will become expert loafers? Two crack British cavalry regiments are- to be mechanised. Instead of a spur the rough rider imncoms. will wear a yellow worsted spanner on the right sleeve. Sergcants-major will wear a motor horn instead of the crown. Scientists harp evolved a new banana which can he successfully canned. What is really wanted is a banana with a sandpaper skin.
