Helping the Minister.

A Scotch preacher had in his con-
gregation an old woman who was
deaf. In order to hear the sermon
each Sunday. this old lady would seat
herself at the foot of the pulpit stairs.
One day the sermon was about Jonah.
and the preacher became very rhetor-
ical
And when the sailors threw Jonah

lowed him up. Was It shark that
got i'm? Nay, my brethren. it was
ne'er a shark. Was it swordfish
that eat him? Nay"
1T was a whale" whispered the old
lady excitedly. ......... ...... b..

GIRL Is TOO MODEST

she refused to permit anyone to bind

have recovered had tourniquet
been applied Immediately.
