Described as a “perfectly true story,” the following appears in the “Auckland Star”: —The clergyman’s, residence is in close proximity to his church. It is his usual custom to assume his canonicals in the privacy ot the home, to make a short detour of the building, and to go up the front ploys to his place. 'Consulting his watch hr assumed that he was flue, and so hr slipped by a back way into the church, deeply immersed in thoughts of th" service and his sermon, and solemnly took his place. Tiaising his eves to the front he found, to his astonish meat, “a beggarly array of empty benches,” except for a single ardent parishioner, who was arranging hymn books in the pews. “flood gracious, where are the people?” ITo asked with a catch in his rich voice. Then it occurred to the reverend gentleman that he had put his clocks and watch on an hour instead of putting then, back sixty minutes. .LET RHEUMIO DO IT. Smith hobbling along with the aid of a stick, met. bis friend Jones. “Hello! What’s up? Motor smash?” “Worse than that,” says Smith gloomily. “It’s Rheumatism—oweh!” “What are you taking?” “Oh, the wife rubs in embrocation at nights, and ” “Rubbish! Take ray tip, get Rheumo. It cured me years ago . . v . I suffered for weeks before I took Rheumo. It’s wonderful stuff.” Smith took the tip, and got well quickly. Rheumo expels the cause; that’s "'hy. Large bottle 4/fi at all chemists. SHARLAND’S TABLE VINEGAR for tastiest pickles and salads. No trace of mineral acids. Specify and insist on “Sharland’s.” —2
