LEFT PART BEHIND.
A father and son were standing at the end of the pier when the dear little boy tumbled into the angry waves. A bystander, fully dressed as he was, jumped into the sea and buffeting the waves, at last managed to get the child out. The father’s thanks were tempered with economy, for, in expressing his thanks, he looked at the rescuer and inquired : “ And what hae ye done wi' his hat ? " Mr. Pessimist—“ Now I suppose you want me to look pleasant ? ” Photographer ( politely )—“ Unless you prefer to look natural.”
