A TOUCHING SCENE
She was young and prjtly, a trifle shor in the temper perhaps, but unusually long in the reach. She was embroidering the touching legend, "Be kind to the loved ones al. home," on the banner for the Sunday-school bazaar in more colors than history connects with Joseph's store coat. Her younger brother suddenly typhoonad through tne room and got badly mixed up with the rainbow of silks around her. Tbe legend was promptly and practically illustrated in one act, and Tommy in his fall collected more bruises than he will be able to grow out of during the remainder of his holidays. It is in connection with such incidents that the immense value oE St. Jacobs oil as a domestic remedy is impressed on the fathers r.nd mothers of this athletic age. LET THE CAT OUT Aunt: "How did you come to get so tanned?" Walter (very much sunburnt) : "That's real mean, Auntie. You know I got tannbd cos I played hookey and went fishin' ; but ma promised not to tell anybody if I would be a good boy. There ain't no use trying to be good. If Pop had bought me a Waterbury I wouldn't he kep' in for being late." JOHN AVERY AGENT New Plymouth
