PelifflcTLV- NAl'tJßAi, Daring thd ser mon in a Baptist church one recent Suin' day, a five-year old' boy left his seat, walked up to* the pulpit, and up the steps, and stood beside the pastor, who turned toward the lad, saying, “ What do you want litt’e man?” “A glass of water,” the child innocently replied. The minister poured out a glass of water, the child drank' it and left the platform. The incident created considerable merriment, which the child in returning to his seat noticed, and, thinking the people were amused at some mistake of his, he made a bow to the pastor and said, “ Thank you, sir,” and went to his seat satisfied that he had not commited an impropriety.

“ Ah, by Geokge ?” groaned young Mr Lethered, sinking wearily into an office chair. “ Ah, by George !my head aches fearfully !,’ “Possible?” asked his em ployer, Mr. Hardfax, with a look of. cur ious -interest and sympathy. “Possible ? Something must have got into it.” And then for a long time nobody said anything, and the room seemed to grow about fifteen degrees colder. Burlington Hawkeye.
