PRACTICAL jokes IN LONDON

During the last two or three days a
series of silly practical jokes have been
perpetrated in manner which has
caused considerable annoyance to a
number Of residents in Chiswick and
the neighborhood. In one case the
wagons from five different firms ar
rived at the house of a gentleman to
deliver coal which had not been or
dered, while a well-known local tenn
perance advocate was astonished one
morning to see brewers dray drive
up to his door with an eighteen-gallon
cask of ale. In two cases where peo-
pie had only recently come into the
neighborhood furniture vans had at
tended on fictitious orders for the re-
moval of their goods, and several
tradesmen in the High-road have been
victimized by sending goods to people
who knew nothing about the orders
being given, and in some cases the
articles had been retained and used on
the assumption that they were Christ
mas presents from thoughtful friends.
The most heartless case recorded, how
ever, is that in which a lady, who has
just lost her husband, was waited upon
