HE SCOUNTED AND CAPTURED A FRIEND

Some men are born scouts, or are scouts by instinct, like Gen. Baden Powcl 1 and the famous Burnham Thsy scoured the country and kept a sliaio .. outlook for the enemy — their eyns and their senses always wide awako. But you don't often hear of •a scount discovering unexpectedly a friend. Just read what follows :— Mr Arthur Hollyman, of 184, Roma Street, (Brisbane, "Queensland, used his eyes to some advantagre some ten vcais apfo. He was then living in the Tweed River District, New South Wales. He noticed that a fellowboscctetr always brought to the table a small bottle of medicine, from which li"; took a I'ose after finieh : rt>f t:ieb heal.'

It is an ideal household remedy and should find a place in every home, peror's nature is beyond doubt, as this incident, which happened during his visit to Corfu last year, proves.

"Twenty, years/" was the reply. The Kaiser remarked that she must have -/commenced her novitiate very early. She said, "At sixteen." "What caused you, so young- — almost a child— to renounce the world ? Sonic great misfortune ?" "No," came the answer: "only love for God. And you, who have remftinjJ in the world, what pleasure do you Imt in it?" The Kaiser, without' re- . J plying-, asked. "Did it cause you no
