HE balance sheet in a lion adventure in the Sinoia district, outside

Salisbury, reads:

Three axen killed by lions;

Three lions killed by the owner of the oxen.

Natives employed by Mr. Garrett, of Ingonya Farm, Sinoia, brought a report to him that lions were at their kill a mile from the homestead. Mr. Garrett hurried to the spot with a native and found a half-grown male and a full-grown female.

Raffles Aged Eight

A Raffles aged eight appeared at Poole Police Court charged with fifteen offences, mostly housebreak- ing, involving the theft of over £30.

A police superintendent said he was at one time doubtful whether such a small lad could have com- mitted all the offences, because many of them looked like the work of a real “craftsman.” The boy, however, pointed out in each case- to the police how he had obtained an entry and what he had done.

The boy's parents had even put him into leaded boots to keep him at home, but he was found long distances from home still wearing them. They chained him and tied him and put him to bed without clothes, but without effect...

The boy was sent to an approved school until he reaches the age of sixteen.

"The modern set, instead of sitting down to a quiet dinner with wines, in the old-fashioned English manner, attended large cocktail part- ea. A crowd of people gathered together, with little taste in common, except for cocktails, and little conversation of any value to give mone another
