An amusing incident was witnessed last week at Aberdare, near C'essnock, NSW., in whiclx a couple of new-chum Scotchmen had a bit of Australian experience that they are not likely to forr?et nor are those who witnessed it, fays the “Sydney Evening News.” The newcomers were taking a quiet stroll in the company, when an emu—a tame bird, owned bv a resident of the town —approached them rapidly. they had never seen an emu before, and were evidently not favorably impressed. They made off at a smart run m the direction of a small gum tree, with the bird in pursuit. It gained on them at every stepj and whey they reached the tree was only a few paces behind, ihe Scotchmen dodged round the tree, and the emu followed, being evidently intent on making their acquaintance. The men were not having any, and, at last, thev swarmed up the tree. I hat settled the emu, ancf after gazing at the bashful Scotchmen m a surprised manner, he quietly walked away with a disappointed air. No doubt they will have something interesting to say when they write home about their big game hunting” experiences in Australia. Roslyn Blankets, Rugs, Tweeds.
