A horse dealer in a Scotch town
having hired a horse to a solicitor,
the latter, either through bad usage
or some other cause, killed the
horse, when the dealer insisted upon
payment by bill if it we're not con-
venient to pay cash. The lawyer
had no objection to grant a bill, but
said it must be a long date. The
dealer told him to fix his own time,
when the man of law drew a prom
issory note, making it payable on
the day of judgment. An action
Mas raised, when the solicitor asked
the presiding judge to look at the
bill. Having done so, the Judge re-
piled:
"The bill is perfectly good, and
as this is the day of judgment I de-
cree that you pay tomorrow"

SMILING APHn.

The month of March, 1916; has been a
very memorable one in my part Of the
country. The weather fiend has done
extra stunts with hard ice and killing
frosts and fierce winds. The early How
ers have made extra effoEts to get up
and look pretty as usual, but they have
pursued their calling under difficulties.
Their perseverance has been remark
able. One of the greatest of Natures
wonders is the pertenacity of little
plants to do their part in the spring OF
the year. Nevertheless, they have had a
difficult part to perform during the
present season--MaTch, 1916.
But when March babe us good-by then
April greeted us with a wonderfully
smiling face. The sun came out in
magnificent splendor, as much as to say,
1--WE must hurry up now. Time is slip
pins. by. The world calls for the best
We can do over here in America" Last
night we had an April shower and the
struggling plants were cheered so much
that every one has fresh sparkle this
morning. Our forest trees are only Just
beginning to show swelling tbuds, but
the earth is fast carpeting itself with
living green"
The Spirit of Resurrection is abroad
in the land Renewals and refurnishing
is the order of the day. Snow, sleet
and tornado winds may do for March,
but April must have sunshine and warm
showers Old March took awful spite
with its winds. Cities were well-nign
destroyed in a single night by tornado
of wind and a red curtain. of flame
that brooked no hindrance.
All hail to April and the Eas ter Holt
days! The Lord is gracious to send us
sunshine and gentle showers.
