“Are you Mr. Riley? I heard you Was on the train.”

“No, 1 am not Mr. Riley. there.”

“I knew his father, and I would like

“Oh, speak with him, yes. But he is deaf, and you want to speak loud.”

So the farmer went over to him and said in a loud voice:

“Is this Mr. Riley?’

“Er—what?’

“Is this Mr. Riley?’

“What did you say?”

“Is this Mr. Riley?”

**Riley, yes.”

“I knew rour father.”

“No bother.”

“I knew your father.”

“What?”

“I knew your father.”

“Oh, so did I!”

And in a few moments the farmer heard him talking in an ordinary tone

A Long Way Afterthought. “That was a pleasing afterthought of yours,” remarked the old preacher

who had listened to a sermon by one?

of his youngest brethren, “when you drew upon the analogies of nature to prove the immortality of the soul.”

“An afterthought?’ said the younger clergyman in some perplexity.

“Yes. You thought of it about 2,400 years after Socrates.”"—Chicago Trib- une.

In Bavaria each family on Easter Sunday brings to the churchward fire a walnut branch, which, after being partially burned, “is carried home to be laid on the hearth during tempests as @ nrotection against lightning.”

EAK AND.... PUNY CHILDREN

Become Strong and Healthy by using Dr. A. W. Chase’s Nerve Food.

Children are frequently left weak and sickly as an after result of measles, scarlet fever, etc., and in this state are easy prey to nervous disorders, rickets, spinal disease, or consump- tion, diseases which do not affect robust, bealthy children.

The blood is weak and watery and the nerves improperly nourished. Feed the blood and merves with Dr. A. W. Chase's Nerve Food, and the pale, pinched faces will soon become rosy and plump, and tiredness and weakness will give way to strength and animation.

Mr. E. W. Day, 62 Close Avenue, Toronto, writes: ‘‘My eldest daughter, aged eight, be- came very much run down. Her fretful, ner- vous, sleepless condition greatly alarmed her parents. She was taken from school, and in spite of the best nursing, the thin, weakened, bloodless face grew painfully worse. Fortun- ately we used Dr. Chase’s Nerve Food. An improvement became apparent in a few days, it continued, and in a few weeks she returned to school built up anew, and greatly to our joy fully restored to health.”
