request, read to her letter just re-

A wonderful thing is the kitchen
knife. 1t has many uses. Perhaps it
was mEds to cut bread, or maybe to
peel potatoes, but one only needs to
watch the housewife while to see it
undergo some peculiar treatment.
She uses it as a can opener, then cuts
up some string and some paper. She
slices some fruit and then stirs the
soup and scrapes all the pans and
dishes. She uses it as a substitute
for screw driver, Ratchet, ice pick and
jack knife. 1t is the most used
and most helpful implement in the
house.
A minister was exhorting his con-
gregation on the horrors Of hell and
the joy and happiness Of heaven.

whole congregation stood up except
one man in side aisle. The minis
ter, observing him, took the first OPP
portunity to see what was the matter
with him before he could leave the
church, and said to him. "My good
man, noticed that when l asked all
to rise tonight, that you kept your
seat. Don't you want to go to heav-
nj" "No, sir" said the man sim
ply, II would rather stay in Emmett"
The morning was cold and foggy
when old Farmer Giles and his man i
started out to drive bullock into
market. The farmer, being uncon-

miles in silence, hardly able to see
each other for fog, the man was star

"We're getting along in
rood style. aren't we, Bill "Lor-
"" cried the farm hand, "be that
;ou. master. Whoy, an bin a-droiv-
n ye for the last hour!" And the
bullock had vanished in the fog, while
Bill herded his bulky master to mar
let.
A recent experience of Virgins
lergymen throws light on the old
,nglish law requiring that marriages
hould be celebrated before noon. A
olored couple appeared before him, ,
skiing to be married, the man in con-
idc-ably muddled state. The min
ster said to the woman, 81 won't per-
orrn this ceremony "why is dat,
