The homo team wanted 10 runs to 'win, and as the last man walked across to the crease it was obvious that he was rather “under the influence.” The first ball came down, he struck at it and missed by inches, but as the ball was wide, his wicket remained intact. Ho called his captain, and asked what ho had better do, as he could see three balls instead of one,. “Hit the middle one,” was the captain’s advice. The next ball came down and was badly missed; the stumps went flying, and the game was lost. “ Why didn’t you ’go for the middle ball?” asked the skipper. “1 did,” replied the unsteady one, “ but 1 hit it with the wrong bat.” Protect your skin! Uso SHARLAND’S BENZOIN AND ALMOND LOTION—a wonderful preparation which keeps the skin soft and healthy. Prevents and heals sunburn and chapping.—[Advt.]
