A trial trip is thus described: "We accepted with some trepida- tion, an invitation to make a journey in the machine. About half a dozen of us entered by the narrow door and were cramped up on the little plat- form which runs on each side of the machinery. We held on like grim death with our hands. For a few mp- ments everything went well. Then there was an upward movement of the forepart of the tank and in a trice we found ourselves without a foot- hold and were suspended by our hands from the foldiagia' "The vessel jetked violently as she started on her downward course.

At length one woman, an intimate personal friend of his too indulgent mother, turned to her and said: "I can't think how you can let your little boy be so greedy and unruly at meal times. If he were mine, I should give him a good spanking." "Oh," said the mother; "you can't bspank the poor little chap on a™ull stomach."

LIFT YOUR CORNS OR CALLUSES OFF Minard's Liniment Co., Ltd. A Slacker's Alibi. One of the recruiting canvassers in an English provincial town was a well-known magistrate. In most cases he succeeded in obtaining the promises he wished, but at last he met with a rebuff. It occurred when he knocked at a cottage door that was opened to him by a sturdy son of the soil. "My man," said the magistrate in his 'most persuasive tones, "are you going to fight for your King and country?" "No, I beant, sir," was the prompt reply. "And I be surprised at you askin' me for to do it. Two years ago come next month you yourself fined I twenty shillings for fighting wi' Bill Smith, and you said it wor wick- ed to fight, and I promised you as I wouldn't repeat the offence, and I al- lus-keep my word."
