A canvasser for patriotic funds writing to the Christchurch "Press" says: A friend has told me that, on the whole, it is better to go collecting in a town than in the country, events are possibly more varied. One day, while in a train she requested a subscription form an elderly man, who declined on the ground that he had already given; "but," he continued, indicating a lady at the other end of the car, "my wife has nbt, you can ask her for something," and accordingly, the request was repeated. "Here is a half-a-crown for you,'' replied the lady, '' but I hav e I never seen that man before." Back wont this energetic collector to the man. "That lady is not your wife, and you must give me ten shillings for teHing me such a story," and it is to be said for him that he gave her tlie ton shillings promptly; and within a month the lady and he were married. Perhaps he had that happy-ending in view all the time, really, but certainly he took a curious way to it. IF TITEY HAVE THE SNUFFLES.

Sold everywhere. With feet soaked 'in a mustard bath, Poor Granpa crouched beside the hearth, And gasped so hard and looked so glum, Despite three lots of steaming rum. That Gran ma, anxious grown for him, Exclaimed at last to Uncle Jim: "This dread suspense I can't endure, I'll send for Woods' Great Peppermint Cui'e. DANGEROUS SURGERY. Death follows the surgeon's knife; not the surgeon's fault, of course, he can't help it. You can. Doau's Ointment cures piles quickly, permanently, without danger. People go along for years suffering from Piles; they can try this, that, and the other remedy, and even get treatment from a "physician. They obtain temporary relief, maybe, but ai'e never quite cured. A strain in lifting, excessive fatigue, a little constipation, a touch of diarrhoea, and the Piles come back. They don't amount to much, but they banish sleep and appetite. No (position is comfortable; there is iutense local pain and that dreadful feeling of weight in the perineum. If _ the case be of long standing, or if it be in the early stages, there is only one sure and lasting cure — Doau's Ointment. Mr James Rees, 31 Lower Campbell street, Surry Hills, Sydney, N.S.W., Sydney, says: "Seven years ago Doan's Ointment cured me of a very bad attack of Itching Piles and I have been free of that distressing complaint ever since. Before I got this Ointment I tried several remedies, but none of them gave me so much as temporary relief from my suffering. The pain and irritation I had to endure were awful, and sometimes I was so bad that I felt I could nearly tear myself to pieces ; I heard of Doan's Ointment being good for j Piles, so got some, using it with very pleasing results. The first, few applications relieved the irri- j tation a good deal, and before I had finished one pot I was quite { cured. I always keep Doan's Ointment in the house and use it j occasionally, iust as a preventive j against any return of the complaint." Doan's Ointment is sold by all chemists and storekeepers at 3s per pot, or will be posted on receipt of price by Fostei-McClel-lan Co., 76 Pitt street, Sydney. But/ be sure you get Doan's. Mothers!
