MUCH THINKING NOT NEEDED
Visiting Divine Rather Sorry That He
Had Coaxed Boy to Make
Explanation.

A noted New York divine tells the
following story:
One day he shared with the chill
dren OF a certain Sunday school a
pathetic incident turning upon the
pitiful plea of a poor little girl for
aid and the dollar that he gave her.
Then he asked the children to guess
what was the first thing the little girl
bought.
"Plesse, sir. basket" piped up a
small boy.
Right! Right! Now there is a
boy who thinks" cried the pleased
speaker. Come up here to the plat
form, sonnie, and tell us why you
think she bought a basket. We want
all these other girls and boys to learn
to think, too.
The boy was unwilling to accept the
distinction pressed upon him, but
finally walked slowly to the platform.
Now, my dear boy" encouraged
the great visitor, "tell us why you
think the little girl bought a basket
first
Because" answered the lad, after
much coaxing and wriggling, Il was
over in Hoboken last Sunday and
heard you tell the story there"

A cynical young woman once said to
me that she found cads more interest

always tell what gentleman would
do in given situation, whereas you
could never tell in any situation, what

creature the gentleman is wholly de-
lightful in that he is wholly pre-

SCALY PSORIASIS ON LIMBS

Mccoy, Sparta, Wis.-"I was troubled
with psoriasis FOR nearly two years.
Portions of my arms and limbs were
affected mostly with it. It appeared
in scaly form, breaking out in very
small dots and gradually grew larger
and white scales formed when about
the size of an ordinary match-head.
The looks of it was horrible, which

once commenced is difficult to break
off. Some farmers make it their GUS
tom to give to each cow her ration Of
provender before sitting down to milk
her. This appears to me to cause
needless labor. Unless there is some
other person present to do it, the
mixer must make a journey round
into the fodder gang every time he
milks COW. Thus, if there are TWEEN
ty cows to milk twenty journeys are
made, which must involve consider
able waste of time. The whole BUSH
ness can be done more expeditiously
by feeding the cows altogether before
commencing milking operations, and
If the laborious habit referred to ia
