Andrew's Church | GIFTS In the spring there came a glori- ous day when Jimmy sat very mute and dejected. For the first timé ir his school life be did not wait to hear the dismissal Dell, because JAunt Martha was coming to visit! Now, Jimmy bad never set eyes "| on mother's sister, Aunt Martha, ex- cépt in the album, when mother pointed her out as one of the clever- est. 1 the Lord ever had set on earth) But he had' heard of her es- ally since the Jimsons moved next door, and mother constantly bewafled the fact that he was not talented, like the Jimson kid, who Was a corker, and just like Aunt Martha when she was a child, "cley- er, oh, very." y 4 "She could, play beautifully, Jim- my, when she was your ags, just like Algernon Jimson," mother told lim "and paint--well._> Mother paused expressively. "Gracious me, I don't know. whether 'your Aunt Martha will think of you, when she comes Jimmy Brown!" Jimmy didn't either. He fervently wished he did, as he lagged along from school that fine spring day. He saw Aunt Martha as he turnad the corner near home. Mother was showing her where the tulips and daffodils were Peeping through. Jimmy4 wondered she should care for things like that, she was 50 clever. He did. He loved working in the garden, and h wasn't clever He was frankly puzzled as he drew jnear. Aunt Martha looked real ally and she had the dandiest smile! I'yt when mother exclaimed, "Herop Jimmy!" the smile Jéft her face. She Just stared at him. Jimmy gussiocd she was so clever she saw right ary he was a dunce. It seemed ages he- fore she said: "Oh, Jane 150s' he like Jim?" She meant Uncle Jim, who had died. Jimmy knew, for whom he was named. As Aunt Martha drew him to her real lovingly -- Jimmy hadn't thought clever peoples could be loving, like mother--exclaiming, "Jimmy, you dear ! You're so like another Jimmy I loved, and I'm so glad !"--mother, though she looked as though she was going to cry, lamented, "He isn't like Jim some ways. He doesn't care . a scrap ahout books and studying. He hasn't a single giit, Martha !" "No?" Aunt Martha's tone was queer. Jimmy guessed it was all off with him, but just then he didn't care, for mother was crying as she mur- mured something about Jim. Jimmy had only seen her cry once--when tn. cle Jim died. She had called Jimmy then her little comforter. Ilo went to her swiftly, his eyes alight with hoy- ish sympathy. He forgot all about Aunt Martha ae he questioned : "Are you awfully "dorry about somethin' mother ?" Mother gave him one of her squeezes as she exclaimed : "Ml right now, son." She sent him away then, and as he leit them Jimmy heard her say: "He is like Jim, isn't he?" And Aunt Martha agreed. "Very," adding, "And yougiay he has no gift? I think I saw a rare one a moment ago." After supper Jimmy began to think some clever people were pretty good sorts after all. Aunt Martha hadn't once mentioned school or old piano lessons or painting. They got along so well together ! Jimmy's brown eyes were brilliant, as they always were when he was at his best, and though Aunt Martha somehow looked as though she wanted to ery as she watched him, it was dandy the way she questioned him about his new fish- ing rod, which he showed her. She asked him things which made him fool as though he new something, and which brought forth answers which caused her to ery. "That so, -Jimmy ? What a lot you know about such things for a young boy, don't you ?"" He threw his head up making Aunt Martha murmur with a quick intake in her breath. "Oh, Jim!" And he forgot all about clev- erness and his shyness befors grown- ups, talking enthusiastically about his work with father in the garden, and---whispering then---of (ha quer ter Mr. Hudson was going ty give him every Saturday for shining up the brass on his motor boat, which Was to be put away for mother's Christmas present -- mother not knowing one thing about it. Then, of course, that Jimson kid had to come over to see the coui- pany and when mother came in from the kitchen she had him show off for aunt Martha. He played; he showed the pictures: spoke his piece about the boy on the burning deck, and was quiet and polite and all the rest of fc. But if Aunt Martha only knew! , Jimmy's eyes blazed as he thought his ' andy of it now, and looked at Bob, setter, lying by the fire, licking a Wound on his flank, -inflicted by a [stone thrown by the Jimson kid. He went to him suddenly. lle Euessed he wasn't wanted when the Jimson kid "showed off." He wasn't clever and gifted and all the rest of it, but he could bring a human look of adoration into old Bob's eyes and he could rub around the =~ound with boyish fingers whose touch was as soft as rose leaves. Suddenly mother asked, that spot on Bob, Jimmy?" Jimmy grunted almost inaudibly, "Sore!" "So I see; but--Oh barbed wire, as usual, I suppose." tion returned to the Jimson kid, Jimmy cast one look at him. "How -- sore, Jimmy?" Aunt Marcha glanced at him queerly. "Just--sore," he repeated. Aunt Martha turned from him to the Jimson kid. "How-----sore, Al- gernon?" ghe asked. The Jimson kid fidgeted' uncom fortably. Jimmy glared at him in silence, and the Jfimson kid said not a word, but presently evineed a ire mendous desire for home. And this endod Aunt Martha's first evening 4s far as Jimmy was concerned, for the hour spelled bedtime. It was a funny thing to waken in the middle of the night and hear Aunt Martha's voice and mother's. At least he thought it must be the middle of the might. But no--he "What's @uessed he wasn't awake at all: must be dreaming romtly, > 'h land after the customary prayers o . . wie: 1 mould rather he had | the one he displayed this after |noon--sympathy and thought for mother--than all the talents you think derfyl in that precocious Jimson youngster, To-might his ten- derness toward that dog was beauti ful; kis refusal to peach on a com- panion great. He's trie blue, that Jimmy boy is! He'll be like Jim, with a nature as big as the whole outside." ! Jimmy sat up very suddenly. Of course it was a dream. "Jim wasn't musical and he 'wasn't am artist. And for pity's sake don't set that Jimson prodigy up as a shining * ex- ample ! Jimmy's got twice his hrain "What's the matter with letting him come to the old home with me in the Holidays ? Jim and | uses to fish the lake, and" Suddenly Jimmy found Aunt. Mur- tha and mother in the moonlight by the window, and his eager voice eall- od out, "Oh mother, say Yes." " He thought afterwards that he must have somethingdvery clever that night use mother said, *'Yes," with her arms around him, mwrmur- ing something all the time about. her blindness and royal gifts. And as for Aunt Martha--Jimmy decided if being clever meant being like' Aunt Martha well, he'd try to be clever just as fast. as he knew how. OVERWORK AND WORRY Fruitful Source of Broken Down Constitutions. A little worry does a great den) of harm. Overwork and worry gives rise to headaches, nervousness, sleep lessness, weak back, lack of interest in your work, indigestion and seth times a complete breakdown of he nervous system, leading to paralysis. If these are the symptoms you need a tonic. And the only way to tone up the nerves is through the blood. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Peo- ple are a direct nerve tonic because they make new rich red blood, which feeds the marves and strengthens ev- ery organ in the body. Under the tonic influence of these Pills nervous. ness and all the other evils of worry and over work quickly disappear. They restore the digestion and en able the body to take full advan tage from the food eaten. Mrs. J. C. Chapman, Omemee, Ont. says: "1 became completely run down and my mervous system shat tered from overwork and. worry. ) always felt tired and exhausted and slept badly at night. I tried severa! medicines but did not find the hoped. for relief. Then I decided to try Dr. Williams' Pills. T took them re gularly for several months and they restored me to perfect health, and 1 have since been well and strong. I cen recommend these Pills to any afflict ed with mervousmess or a broken constitution as T feel wure they will effect a cure." a These Pills are sold hy all medicine dealers or will be sent by mail at 506. a box 'or six hoxes for $2.50 hy writing the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. TURKS SACRIFICE LAMBS Slaughter Animals to Initiate Run ning of Street Car Line FAectricity ; Recently at ,the opening of tl first electric street railway in Con stdntinople there occurred the anci ent rite of sacrificing the lamb. In centuries of modern eivilization there is nothing with which ithis cere mony can be compared, excepting perhaps the breaking of a bottel of champagne over the bow of a battle ship at its christening. Across the tracks of the street cu line two young lambs were placed Popular the Mohammedans they were kille on the spot; the rails were smear with the warm blood and prayers in- new line wey offered. The officials watched the perform ance with all seriousness.. The line runs from the Pont de Karakeyy to Sirkedji in the Ottoman capital.

'SCOTLAND'S YIELD OF WHEAT Wheat Averages 41.32 Bushels Per ? Acre. In the returns by the British board of agriculture of the produce ot" oro. 8 ason voking the blessings of Allah on the |0f crops, Scotland has good reaso for satisfaction. The high yields per acre in Scot- land result: partly from the good cul- tivator of the soil and also because the various crops, owing to the pre- valent prices, have been relegated 'to the soils on which they do best. Thus Scotland has an average of 41.32 bushels per acre of wheat dur- ing 1913, and England only 31,32 In addition the Mother atten- | ihottle of / 3 ltl ld The Kidney, the "human the impurities in the hlood. these are clogged Uric Acid sediment lodges in the muscl€s and joints and Rheumatism follows. great remedy for all forms of terrible disease, checks the deposit of Uric Acid.

Again, while Scotland has a superior average during 1903- 1912 of 6.41 bushels per acre of po- tatoes, England had a larger crop in 1912.
