Mr J. C. Johnson, representing the Porter Company of Wellington, is at present in thi3 district taking orders for a volume of "Charming Bible Stories." The book is attractively written in simple language. From a list submitted it is clearly shown that prominent statesmen and clergy of every denomination have appreciated the work. In addition to the above beautiful book, which is most useful in the home, there representative is also booking orders for a very handsome "Combination Family Bible," containing 500 illustrations, which will form some idea of its completeness. To fully describe this biblical encyclopaedia would occupy too much space, suffice it to state that this work is most comlpete and altogether should prove of great value in the home as a book of reference. The wealth of charming illustrations bring right into our homes copies of thuse glorious masterpieces in art, for the originals of which fabulous prices are being paid by the ultra rich. The company's representative will be pleased to cali and submit a copy for the approval of those interested. A postcard addressed Rookwood private boarding house, Te Kuiti, would ensure a sample being submitted at any address throughout the district.* For influenza take Woods' Great Peppermint Cure. Never fails—ls 6d, 2s Gd.* A correspondent of the Times tells the story of a man who missed his umbrella in a club, and put up a notice to the following effect:—"Will the nobleman who took an umbrella by mistake, etc., communicate with the porter?" and then explained his appeal by pointing out that, membership of the club being confined by the rules to noblemen and gentlemen, as no gentleman could possibly have been guilty of theft, a nobleman must have been the culprit.
