And laid an egg like that: n And when she'd laid a good-sized egg. Just like a modest bird, She went and picked her living up. Without a single word. Another hen?much larger, too? Who strutted and looked wise, Just fussed about before she laid A dinkv egg this size: O And when she'd laid this little egg She had to have her say. So she went out and cackled, cackled. Cackled half the day.?Er. ? _ ... A Policeman's Testimony. J N Patersou, night policeman of Nashua, Iowa, writes: "Last winter I bad a bad cold on my lungs and tried at least half a dozen advertised cough medicines and had treatment from two physicians without getting any benefit. A friend recommended Foley's Honey and Tar and two-thirds of a bottle cured me. I consider it the greatest cough and lung medicine in the world.'' D C Scott.

I ven- a tnre to say if most of us be- * gan our evening prayer by e thanking the Lord for all his benefits to us, we should fall asleep long before we got to g the grievance with which we usually induce insomonia. The world is not a bed of! roses. The path we must tread is often hard, clogged with i overwhelming anxieties, cares and worries that seem to bow r earthward even the idealist's * ^ X h 1 . gaze. ism wnen uui miuuiuuo i are bent low we can at least get ? some happiness out of life by trying to love the burden we ^ bear like the little Scotch girl p whom some one met staggering * along the country road with c a baby in her arms. ' 'Can I help you?" the b stranger asked. "The child * seems so heavy for you." The little girl looked up and with an expression of passionate tenderness said: "He's nae heavy. He's me brother!" g ?Mrs John Van Vorst in I>e cenwtr Lippincou s Foley's Orino Laxative is best F for women and children.
