CLITHEKOE ADVERTISER AND TlJt^Sf pMDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1940 HOT February i9th, 1915, . IN rny references 1 last week to i “Peter," the Scottie who used to |


take free rides on th|ei ’buses, I un­ fortunately made twojerrors. First, _ said th a t after avoiding motor- wagons and all sorts |of mechanised traffic for eleven years, he was’ run over by a motor-car.j 'Actually poor Peter! was run over | by a horse- drawn milk float, which makes it more jironical than i ever.


Then I told abohti Peter slaying


e ig h tk n pullets. I t wasn’t eighteen but thirty-six! And if the punish­ ment! on th a t occasion fit the crime, no wonder th a t Peter never looked at hens again.
