A PASTOR'S STORY. We never trust but one kind of fish story —that's the kind told by pastoral fishermen, When a true shepherd in the vineyard (if the metaphor may be par- doned) comes along with a fish story then we feel safe. Reverend Franklin D. Elmer, pastor of the First Baptist church, at Winsted, Connecticut, and fisherman, hunter and golfer, while fish- ing for bass with live frogs at Lake Wonksunkmunk, West Hill, lost a fish which would weigh, probably, four or five pounds. He cast into a shallow lagoon in an effort to recapture the fish, and as he was pulling in his line the frog jumped upon a stone a foot above the water. Before the clergyman could take up the slack a pickerel scaled the stone and grabbed the frog, and Reverend Mr. Elmer landed the fish. An earnest fish like that, which will climb right up a stone wall and secure the bait at all haz- ards, deserves to be caught by none but a thoroughly good man. In their own quiet way the British are very droll. Witness this story related in aLondon paper: “The other evening a man of the burglar type stepped up to an old gentleman and, handing him a piece of paper, said, ‘Sir, would you be good enough to read me the writing on this piece of paper?" The individual addressed consented, and, moving toward the rays of a convenient gas-lamp, read the following words: + If you utter a cry or speak a single word I shall shoot you. Give me your watch and chain and your purse at once, and then pass on.’ Completely taken off his guard, the gentleman handed over the articles asked for and walked off. A few steps brought him to a policeman, and, relating his story, the pair proceeded in pursuit of the stranger, who was not yet out of sight. Next morning, before the magistrate, the vagrant was called ‘upon for an explanation. ‘Your honor,’ he said, ‘I am not an educated man, and therefore can neither read nor write. Last evening I picked up a piece of paper, and, it striking me that it might be of some importance, I took it to the first person I met and asked him to decipher it. The gentleman read it quietly to him- All Dealers and Restaurants sell Evans’ Ale self, and then, without saying a word, handed me his watch, chain and purse and walked off without giving me time to recover from my surprise, or to ask him what he meant. It seemed to me that the paper possessed a certain value, and that he had given me the valuables as a reward for finding it.’ But the magis- trate gave him six months just the same.” Mr. Punch, of London, has the reputa- tion of being heavy, but the following are told by him: “The members of the York- shire automobile club last week took sixty pa- tients from the Huddersfield infirmary for a drive, the members having decided to lend their cars for this purpose on one day in each year, It is pleasant to re- member that the relations between motor- ists and hospitals have always been close. At the congress of medical officers of health Dr. Herbert Jones, of Hereford, pointed out the usefulness of motor-cars to medical men in enabling them rapidly toreach their patients, The more daring the driver, in fact, the more quickly he comes across a patient. Other doctors expressed the opinion that mortoring un- doubtedly benefits public health. It is certainly reducing the number of deaf persons.” GET POWER. THE SUPPLY COMES FROM FOOD, If we get power from food, why not strive to get all the power we can, That is only possible by use of skillfully se- lected food that exactly fits the require- ments of the body. Poor fuel makes a poor fire and a poor fire is not a good steam producer, “From not knowing how to select the right food to fit my needs, I suffered grievously for 2 long time from stomach troubles,” writes a lady from a little town in Missouri. “It seemed as if I would never be able to find out the sort of food that was best for me. Hardly anything that I could eat would stay on my stomach. Every attempt gave me heartburn and filled my stomach with gas. I got thinner and thinner until I literally became a living skeleton, and in time was compelled to keep to my bed. “A few months ago I was persuaded to try Grape-Nuts food, and it had such good effect from the very beginning that U have kept up its use ever since. I was surprised at the ease with which I di- gested it, It proved to be just what I needed. All my unpleasant’ symptoms, the heartburn, the inflated feeling which gave me so much pain, disappeared. My weight gradually increased from 98 to 116 pounds, my figure rounded out, my strength came back, and I am now able to do my housework and enjoy it. The Grape-Nuts food did it." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. A ten days’ trial will show anyone some | tacts about food. “ There's a reason.” There is always a soft berth for the follow who can rout some one else out of it. The following account of a poodle- party in fashionable London is interest ing indeed: “Itis hard- ly” usual when intro duced to a lady to bite her on the nose. Yet such an impropriety was condoned at a novel garden-party given to the human and canine members of the +Curly Poodle club,’ by Madame Altred du Cros, at Mait- land Lodge, Addison road, ‘The general level of deportment, however, was mar- velously good. Take the three brown poodies brought by Miss Pemberton Hincks. The mother pooille, beautifully dressed in mbbons of a subdued, matronly hue, sat in a tiny victoria decorated with pink roses and daisies, while her two daughters, in floral harness, acted as car- riage horses. + Boadicea and Her Chariot’ was the title bestowed on the turnout by one spectator. * Boadicea* behaved with all the good manners and repose of a bath-chair invalid, Subsequently ‘Boa- dicea,’ with her fair owner, mounted a lilliputian motor-car of one-and-a-fraction horse-power and whizzed around the lawn, with the accomplished poodle in motor-goggles at the driving-wheel. A black poodie arrived in a tasteful creation mainly consisting of a wreath of blue forget-me-nots and ribbons to match. White marguerites and old-gold ribbons was another striking combination, Asa rule, the poodles followed the recognized lines adopted by the fair sex generally— that is, the brunettes (blacks and browns) wore daring contrasts and bright colors, while the blondes (whites and. apricots) went in for pale liberty shades. One poodle wore a gold-mounted miniature round the neck, and gold and silver ban- gles round the forefeet were so common as to be almost de rigueur.” COOK'S Snes yanri granted r: Foreign Champagnes cost twice as much ause they are obliged to pay duty and ship freight on them.
