A. Vienna schoolmaster, who was robbed of his watch by one of his scholars, next day found the pawnticket for it placed in his desk, with a typewritttn note, saying: “Plenty of time to redeem it before Christmas.” A “recent” howler was perpetrated in our own schooldays. “Masculine ‘hare,’ ” announced the old Dominie. “Feminine ‘rabbit,’ ” responded the scholar. “Umph!' and I suppose it’s masculine ‘dog’ feminine ‘cat,’ ” was the neat rejoinder. Mr Tyndale Whito, one of the magistrates on the Ongar (Essex) Bench, invited a husband and wife who appeared before him to tea at his house to talk over the matters which brought them into court, with a view to settling their grievances privately. “You never know your luck” except when you see Martell’s Blue and Silver label, then you’re SURE of it.*
