A good laugh is better than medicine. Learn how to tell a story. A welt told story is as welcome as a sunbeam in a rick room. Learn to keep your troubles to your- self. The world is too busy to care for your ills and sorrows. Learn to stop croaking. If you cannot see any good in the world, keep the bad to yourself. No one cares to hear whether you have the earache, headache or rheumatism. .Don't cry, Tears do well in novels, but they are nut of place in real life. Learn to meet your friends with a smile. The good humored man or woman is always welcome, but the dyspeptic or hypochondriac is not wanted anywhere, and is a nuisance as well.—Ex While two of our amateur nimrods were driving to a favorite fishing re- sort in McGillivray, Saturday after noon, their horse became frightened at a land roller which was left in the mid- dle of the road. The horse made a sud- den jump to one side, tipping the bug- gy over and throwing the occupants in the ditch. It looked at first as thou; b the younger nimrod sustained a frac- ture of a leg and several ribs, but af- ter a post mortem had been held it was found that every bone was in its place. On reaching the place of sport, it was evident that the fish was in sympathy With them over the accident and not with their bait. We wish them much better luck some other Saturday, An Extraordinary Event. One of the strangest things that ever happened, probably, in Ontario, was witnessed by our anecdote editor in that classic city, Stratford, recently, .A tramp—mark Vthe word—went to a house there and rang the door bell, The duor being opened by the lady of the house, the tramp said—now what do you think? "Please, lady, give me a piece of soap." Our anecdote editor is still dizzy. Close Beavon lfor Fish. The Ottawa .Fisheries Department has issued notices regarding the close season for fish.

A Trainp's Deed The Stratford Herald says: What might have proved a serious wreck was prevented on Saturday night by the prompt action of a tramp who discover- ed a broken rail on the G. T. R. west of Nelson street, near the Ballantyne cheese refrigerators. The tramp was making his way westward when he noticed the broken rail, and the ever. Lug express from London carne into view the same time. The man grasped the situation at once and rushing up the track signalled the train, which was stopped. At the point where the broken rail was discovered the embank went is very high and had a wreck en- sued, considerable loss of life would scarcely have been avoided. The tramp was taken to the station and yesterday be was given a pass to Sarnia in con- sideration of his services. A Slight Mistake.A clergyman who was very anxious to introduce some new hymn books in- to the church, had arranged with his clerk that the latter was to give out the notice immediately after the ser- mon. The clerk however, had a notice of his own with reference to the bap tism of infants, to give out. According. ly at the close of the sermon, he rose and announced that, "All those wlio had children whom they wished to have baptised were to send in their names to the clerk." The clergyman, who was stone deaf, assumed that the clerk was giving out the hymn -book notice, immediately rose and said, :,"And 1 should like to say for the benefit of those who hav'nt any, that they may be obtained in the vestry any day from three to four o'clock; the ordinary little ones, at 25c. each, and special ones with red backs at 50c."
