Colonial Sports Hunting for
Squires Have Weird
Time.
BY Lindsay Stevenson.

OF course it was not my fault that
the Ventura was behind time; still the
bunch seemed to imagine SO.
Jack was down from the plantation
to meet Souires.
The '.Boshter' not appearing, Jack,
inspired by beer, announced his inten-

We wandered down Hotel street, and
ran into another Colony duck-Joe.
Joe was a peach. He hadn't been
to bed for forty-eight hours, and look
ed as if it might have been week.
Joseph hooked on to our crowd, and
after several more vets, remarked in
a loud voice: I'D like to see the
blanky cove wot can knock Bill out"
No one offered to produce an embryo
world-beater for Joe's edification.
This annoyed Joe, and he, then and
there, said he would fight any blanky
cove in Honolulu.
An ex-Sonoma fireman, with a griev-
ance against all Colonists, took Joe on.
The stoker had a dirty left, and all
his bottled up wrath against the sgd
ney authorities was vented on Joe. Joe
got all that was coming to him, and
bit over.

repeated Australian national adjective,

One New Zealander casually remark

enough.
1t took two hours Of talk, and un-

Sid collapsed about this time. He
was deposited on car bound for Wal

and the mud was up to the hubs in

and the lights of the village which the
bishop was trying to reach seemed still

nervous lest he should be late for his
appointment. Just then they encoun-

stuck fast. The driver laid on the lash

Finding Fault with Your Children
It IS at times necessary to censure
and punish; but very much more may
be done by encouraging children when
they do well. Be, therefore, more care
Jul to express your appreciation Of good
conduct than your dlsapprobation OF
bad. Nothing can more discourage a
child than a spirit Of lncessant fault
finding on the part Of its parents and
hardly anything can exert more inJurl-
Gus influence upon the disposition both
of the parent and the child. There are
two great motives influencing human
actions4hope and fear. Both of these
ne at times necessary. But who would
not prefer to have her child Influenced
to good conduct by q desire of pleasing
rather than by the fear of offending?
If a mother never expresses her gratif-
when her children do we'll, and
Is always censurlng them when she
sees anything amiss, they are discour-
aged and unhappy; their dispositions
become hardened and soured by this
ceaseless frettlng; and at last, finding
that whether they do well or Ill, they
are equally found fault with, they re-
all efforts to please, and be-
come needless Of ~reproaches.
