The bones of a woolly rhinoceros have been dug up twenty-three feet below the surface at High Wycombe, and very strong expressions have been used in the locality concerning this gross example of food-hoarding. *** Complaint has been made by a brass finisher at Oldham that his fellow-workmen will not speak to him because he receives less wages than they do. To end an awkward situation it is hoped that the good fellow may eventually consent to accept a weekly wage on the higher scale. * * * * * NOTICE. The Proprietors of _Punch_ are glad to announce that they find themselves in a position to revert, for the time being at any rate, to the type and size of _Punch_ as they were before the recent changes. * * * * * PUNCH'S ROLL OF HONOUR. WE record with deep regret the death from pneumonia of Captain HARRY NEVILLE GITTINS, R.G.A., on Active Service. He was a member of the Territorials before the outbreak of war, and, after serving two years at home, went out to France in August of last year. His light-hearted contributions to _Punch_ will be greatly missed. |
