Three Mistakes.
There have been many harmless
mistakes .aadc that contributed much
TO the ainusementof mankind. Among
them is one told of certain clergy
man, who left notice in his pulpit to
be read by the preacher who ex-
changed with him. The clergyman
neglected to denote carefully a pri-
waite postscript and the congregation
were astonishcd to hear the stranger
wind up by saying:
~ on Will please come to dine with
me at the parsonage after service"
Another amusing story is told of n
minister. The reverend gentleman
was inclined to be absent minded, and,
while walking one day. encountered q
young lady whose face seemed famil-
lar to him. Taking her to be one OF
his parishioners daughters. and not
wishing to pass her without notice,
he stepped forward and, cordially
shaking her hand. entered into con-
versation After comparing notes
about the weather, nc had at last to
confess:
We'll, | know your face quite well,
but cannot recall where have seen
you before"
''oh, please sir, I'm your ncw par.
lormaid" was the reply.
\ third story copied from London
periodical, is based upon n small boy
mistake in school, but, as a matter Of
fact, it is more likely that the incident
is based upon the fertile fancy of the
writer, because it is almost too good
to be true. This story is of how Mr..
Whackem, a fiery schoolmaster. came
to lose u scholar one day. The class
was parsing Il sentence.
What is the imperative of the
verb to go?' asked Whackem OF

~ don't know"
600" shouted Whackcm.
"Thanli you, SIR" replied Johnny,
and he was two streets of before the
teacher could catch his breath.
Jimmie Bolvin, n lO-ycar.old lad,
living in Western Canada, was leading
n horse to put into n hayrake when
thc animal became unmanageable,
knocked him down and broke his leg
in two places between the hip and
the knee. The accident happened out
on Che prairie, many miles from home.
Notwithstanding the agony he must
have endured, the boy crawled con-
siderable distance to where he hoped
to find some of the haymakcrs, but
they had gone farther away.
lie lay down exhausted, hoping for
some one 70 come. How many hours
he lay there is not known. Night was
at length coming on, and he feared he
should die if left much longer without
help.
The horse meanwhile was feeding
not far off. .limmic's untasted
luncheon was still in his pocket. Hs
called the horse, gave him the biscuit
and so caught him. The little sufferer
then led the animal to rock few
yards distant, dragging himself slowly
and painfully along, as before. lie
crcpt upon the rock and from there
managed to mount the horse.
Once on the horses back he rode two
miles to the nearest house or tent,
where he found the hnymakcrs, who
made him as comfortable as they
could and then took him home to his
parents. :.
An effort to set the broken limb,
made by ancighbor, proved unsuccess-
full, and after nine days of misery the
little fellow was taken to the hosoital
ut Winnipeg. where the writer of this
account saw him and heard his story.
"Hc's a brave little man." said the
surgeon; ''he never complains and we
shall give him pretty good leg again,
