HONORES MUTANT MORES (Honours Change Men’s Manners or Characters.) My Dear People,— I purchased a 4/2 ticket to hear Sir Conan Doyle’s lecture last night and on the back of ticket was “Look out for Watson, the Entertainer.” It is apparent this class of business must be slack somewhere. Sir Conan opened his lecture with the egotistical “I” predominant. Some of his credentials reminded one of the Liver Pill and Hair Restorer Advertisements as follows:—I used a box of your pills and was a changed man, also a bottle of your hair restorer, and I can now do without a comb and brush. It is apparent, reliable paid mediums arc scarce, as he only mentioned two. The first was a lady who went into a trance and and his brother and son appeared. The second was a little tailor at Glasgow (where spirits arc largely manufactured) ; he took his clients up into an attic and immediately a young gale arose, accompanied with coloured lights. No doubt an electric button was pressed to prodaice these wonderful phenomena. It is evident there is a shortage of reliable paid mediums, as the “game IS not worth the candle,” as Champion’s motto, “All things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you do ye even so to them,” has snuffed the candle, and Champion Muscle Raiser Flour and Standard products are your mainstay. I am, Y., Auckland. P.S. —No doubt when Sir Conan returns home he will write a book similar to Mark Twain’s “Innocents Abroad.” 223 A PHILANTHROPIC VISIT My Dear People,— Sir Arthur Conan Doyle states: “I have come at my own great loss. I lake no payment for my lectures.” 1 understand his two lectures at the Town Hall will return quite ill ooo, so the question suggests itself who is reaping the benefit of his discovery B.G. I beg to suggest that an application be made for the proceeds to be donated to the Soldiers’ War Memorial Fund, as a lasting memento of his visit, as sentiment is liable to evaporation. If he responds, he will rank with Champion, known for his liberality to keep the Standard unfurled. V:. Auckland. 224 MEETINGS. RUKUHIA.
