' When he was considered quite au old man James, Lord Balcarres, went to stay with old Lady Keith. There were a number of young ladies in the house and, before he arrived. Lady Keith said to them: "Now, there Is this old gentleman coming to stay, and I par­ ticularly wish that you should all en­ deavor to make yourselves as pleasant Co him as you can." They all agreed to do so, but a Miss Dalrymple said: "You may all do what you like, but I'll bet you anything that you please tliat I'll make the old gentleman like me best of us all." And so she did. She made him perfectly devoted to her all the time he was there, yet when he asked her to marry him she laughed in his face. Lord Ralcnrros was ex­ tremely crestfallen, but when he went away he made a will settling every­ thing he could upon Miss Dalrymple. Somehow she heard of this, and said: "Then, after all, he must really care tor me, and I will marry him." And she did. He was flfty«igfM^|>|*.tM!t they had ten children. • " Wlie M. P.'i. It need hardly be pointed out, says {he author of "Fifty Years In Fleet Street," that to be elected a member of parliament does not necessarily imply Intellectual superiority. Bhortly after the Burmese war a young civilian, koine on leave, happened to mention Burma. "Ah, yes, Burma," said an M. P. with whom he was sitting at table. **l had a nephew who was in Burma, only- he used to call it Bermuda." On another occasion, in the month of March, some one said to Mr. Livesey: "This is a cruel east wind." "Yes," was the would be witty re­ ply. "I expect it will be Easter be­ fore It is over." This was repeated by the author of the book quoted to a respected member of parliament, who observed gravely: "I fancy he's right. I have known It last till Easter and longer yet" Doctors Could Not Help Her. "I had kidney trouble for years," writes Mrs. Raymond Conner of Shel- ton. Wash . "and the doctors could not help me. I tried Foley's Kidney Cure, and the very first dose gave me relief and I am now cured. I cannot say too much for Foley's Kidney Cure." It makes the diseased kidneys sound so that they will eliminate the poisons from the blood. Unless they do this, good health is impossible. G. W. Besley. Are you about to have an auction?
