Fooled Once.

Little Francis was not to be fooled
twice.
The heavy black clouds had
massed in the east and west, the
lightning was flashing flercely be-

of the thunder.
Francis was terribly frightened,
and his fond mother had gathered
her young hopeful into her arms and
tried logically to calm his fears.
Don't be afraid, darling. There's
nothing to fear. God sends the
thunderstorm to clear the afr, water
the flowers and make It cooler for us.
Now, don't cry, dear; # won't harm
you, and everything will be better
when it's over"
The little fellow listened intently,
and as his mother finished he looked
up at her gravely and said: mo. no.

FIVE years, had breaking out on her
lip and part of her cheek that we
took for ringworm. It resembied a

made worse by her scratching It.
Then the blisters would break through
and let out a watery substance. She
was very cross and fretful while she
had it and had very little rest at
night. When the eruption was at It's
worst the teacher of the school sent
her home and would not allow her to
