The other night about midnight l
awoke in awful pain. 1t was a return
of my old complaint, bilious collie,
and it had come with a vengeance.
Mr.. Bowser lay sleeping like a log,
and l waited to the last moment be-
fore waking him up. He was on the
broad of his back, knees up, and snor-
ing like a trooper when | shook him.
He growled and groaned and yawn-

do something for me.
"Eh? Get up! Have | got to get

"You must"
That's just like you! If you feel
an ache or pain must be aroused
and hustle out of bed! Why didn't
you have your collie in the after
noon ?"
"Get me something as quick as you
can !"
He got out of the bed, fell over a
chair, got into some of his clothes,
and wanted to know what he should
do.
"Get the Jamaica ginger first. It's

he could get up snore was in such

the friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Lindsey:

enough to supply family for life time
They also brought with them ice cream
and other refreshments, and after cou.
pie of hours or more spent in pleasant
Conversation, music, singing, ETC., they
departed, wishing happy returns of the
day. The affair was complete surprise
to the rector and his wife, but was none
the less enjoyable on that account. The

parishioners in having so worthy a cou'
pie on whom to bestow their friendly Of
