Rnstnn,s ssUncle Noah" !"

There is a we'll meaning old gentle man in Boston who goes about in far weather or foul with an open umbrella over his head. He is one of the notable characters of the town, highly respected as far as that goes, but pitied as the Vlc- tim of the delusion that downpour IS always impending. The story is abroad in Boston that he once got terrible drenching and contracted therefrom cold that threw him into fever, out of which he issued with his life, but an unbalanced mind. All he could remem- Der of his experience was that he was caught out without an umbrella, and though capable of doing business and eemprehending every other subject, he still lives in dread of 8 second deluge. He is known as "Uncle Noah.

AS WE USED TO LONG AGO.

Play that you are mother, dear.
 And play that papa is your beau; Play that we sit in the corner here,
 Just as we used to long ago; Play so, we lovers two,
 Are just as happy as can be. And I'll say, f"I love youi" to you. And you say, "I love youi' to mel "I love youi" We both shall say, All in earnest and all in play. Or. play that you are the other one
 That sometimes came and went away, And play that the light of years agone Stole into my heart again todayl Playing that ysu are the one I knew
 In the days that never again may be, I'll say, "I love youl" to you,
 And you say, ''I love youl" to mel ''I love youl" my heart will say To the ghost of the past come back today. Or, play that you sought this nestling place For your own sweet self, with that duA
 guise Of your pretty mother in your face And the look of that other in your eyesl So the dear old love shall live anew.
 As hold my darling on my knee, And I'll say. ''I love youi" to you,
 And you'll say, "I love youl" to mel Oh, many a strange, true thing we say And do when we pretend to playi

The wind over frozen ponds and lakes, over snow-fieIds of plains and open country, is heavily charged with frost and fine partl- cles of frozen matter. It is the most penetrat- ing way for chill to set in. Sudden warmth, sudden chill, and severe colds. Girls and boys skating, driving for pleasure or busl- ness, and men at work afeld know the diff ference in temperature. Yet the youngsters skate away and with mouth open laughing take in dose of sore throat. Drivers and workmen throw aside wraps and all know the next day from soreness and stiffness what sudden chill means. Now the best thing to do when housed is to rub we'll at once with St. Jacobs Oil. If you do, you will not have sore throat or if you are stlfi and sore, it will cure by warming the sur face to throw out the chill.
