Little Harold, having climbed to the pinnacle of the very steep roof of a shed, lost his footing and be- gan to slide, with terrifyng awift- ness towards that point where the roof swept gracefully off into space.

O Lord, save me?" he prayed. O Lord, save me! O Lord, never mind. "I've caught on a nail."

A pious lady had a husband who was a seaman. He was about to start on a long voyage, and as his wife was anxious for his welfare, † she sent the following notice to the [- village preacher:

The deceased, Lo Kau, continued counsel, left 18 BOAS, 13 of whom were still living.
