On one occasion barristcr who was
terribly verbose practitioner discOv-
cred that one of the jury trying the
case was fast asleep. He forthwith
roundly rated those who were still
awake for taking so little interest in
the case. lntcrposed the commissioner:

Ayrshire, who was lecturing his con-
grcgatiOn for not coming to kirk and
remarked, Those of We who do come
are asleep. bar the village idiot when
voice said, If I'd nae been an idiot
| had been asleep too "
While generally jocuar at the eX-
pense of others, the commissioner could
appreciate and enjoy a good repartee
even at his own expense. Thus on
one occasion an advocate with beard
and mustache, which he then hated,
appeared before him. How can |
hear you. sir, if you cover up your
muzzle like a terrier dog?' he asked.
'Well, | had rather be an English ter
rier than a Scotch cur" was the reply.

Her eyes were wild, her hair was in
disorder, her face was flushed, her

"Oh, cruel one" she cried in an
guished tones, Il have borne with you
too long! You have injured the very
foundations of my being. Day by day
you have tortured me. and yet could
not bear to give you up. When first
we met how your ease and polish at

own how my friends envied me! But
your understanding is too small for
my large soul. You are opposed to
my advancing myself. You have ruin

sharp sigh 1t was all over. BY su-

PROFIT

The matter of feed is of
tremendous Importance to the
farmer. Wrong feeding is
loss. Right feeding is profit.
The up-to-date farmer knows
what to feed his COWS to get
the most milk, his pigs to get
the most pork, his hens to
get the most eggs. Science.
But how about the children?
Are they fed according to
science, a bone food if bones
are soft and undeveloped, a
flesh and muscle food if they
are thin and weak and a blood
food if there is anemia?
Scots Emulsion is a mixed
food the Cod Liver Oil in it
makes flesh, blood and muscle,
