A Sunday-School teacher. an- xious to impress upon her class of small boys-the importance of making others glad as well as ourselves, offered a prize to any boy who would be able to tell her on the following Sunday that he had made someone else glad.
At the next class, a small boy held up his hand. "Please, tea- cher, I've made someone else glad."
"Well done. Who was that?"
"My Granny."
"Good boy.
Now tell us how you made your grandmother glad."
"Well, teacher. I went to see her yesterday, and I stayed with her all the afternoon: Then I said to her, 'Granny, I'm going home now.' and she said, 'Well I'm glad'!"

The young reporter in search of copy thought the old man in the potato-field looked the last word in rusticity.
"Good morning," he said. "Lovely day.".
"Ay." answered the oldest in- habitant, leaning on his hoe. "But there's rain coming."

"How do you know that?" he asked. "Red sky at morning- shepherd's warning, eh? Or per- haps you've means of your own?
"Dunno nothing 'bout that," was the reply. "But it was on the wireless last night and in all the *papers this morning.”

DEAR OLD PALS
*.
"Well," said the spokesman of the Society of Dear Old Pals, Jolly Old Pals, "we have some good news for you. Never mind about that cold of yours. We'll bet it'll cheer you up."
"I'll bet it will,” I said. "What is it?".:
"Did you
see how that Ameri- can was swindled out of £100 by the dearest old confidence trick of all? Someone had half-a-million, or perhaps .a million, to give away to charity, and would the American please help him, only would the American- just
as a formality-first hand over £100 for half-an-hour to prove his good faith? The same, old, dear, old—.”
:
"Old old old story," I said. "Well?"
"Well, don't you see
what proves, pal? It proves that people will still believe anything. So-"
"So?"
"So why would't they believe Civilisation and Progress do mean something that it is possible to settle differences without resort to arms? Talk about old, old stories !"
"Talk about them, indeed," I said.
?
"Well, there you are, pal. Cheeto A Never lose heart!""
Cheero pat," I replied, with
a. hopeful sneeze.-The Showman in the "Herald.”
