Prospective Country .Boarder: ls tlie water you have here healthy? Landlady: Yes. sir. We use only well water. An esteemed contemporary an. nounres that a cow with two tails j has just changed hands. Evidently the day of miracles is not vet past. * A defeated suffragette in Paris is besieged with offers of marriage.

That settled it. i .* ■ I Two tourists have travelled from John o' Groat's to Land's End in olhr 43niin on a motor-cycle and side car, says the Motor Cycle, not a stop being made during the journey. i * !
