Is exquisite drollery in the story Of
the Stonehaven railway porter and the
salvation Army captain" To catch
the hang Of little yarn readers must
remember that Stonehaven lies to the
south OF Aberdeen. The London train
had drawn up at Stonehaven on ac-
count OF slight mishap a mile or two
ahead. and Andra. the old porter, had
got into conversation with Salvation
Army officer who had popped his head
out OF the compartment to ask the
reason for the delay.
Aye aye" unused Andra: after Civ

I'm bound for Aberdeen-a very
wicked place, I'm told!"

there. sir. If it's as bad as a. that ?"
asked Andra, rather amused at the
visitors words.
"Ah," was the pious answer. I'm

porter the pawky vetort:

To cure Rheumatism you must mako
the kidneys do their work; they are

be made to strain out of the blood the
