One evening at 7 o'clock a man and a wife and eleven children, many o; them grown up, appeared at the entrance of an entertainment hall, bought two tickets and demanded that the entire family should be admitted. The doorkeeper declined to admit the family with only two tickets. "But all these are my children," said the man. "Of course," said the doorkeeper, "but some of them are too old to be admitted free." "Too old? What's that to do with it? Don't it say on your bills that children under twelve are admitted free with parents " "Yes." "Well, I've only got eleven children, and if eleven aren't under twelve I'm beat."
A CHRISTCHURCH NURSE CUR ED OF KIDNEY COMPLAINT BY DR. SHELDON'S GIN PICLS. "While following my avocation as* a nurse for a long time I have been suffering with Kidney Complaint in its worst form, with all its usual painful symptoms," writes Mrs S.

I had no freedom from pain, -night and day, and had very little sleep. I tried everything advertised, but they were of no use.

In a very short time I was surprised at the good work they were doing, and am now cured and in better health and strength than ever I was, and I shall make it my business to impress upon all sufferers the value of Dr Sheldon's Gin Pills." Dr. Sheldon's Gin Pills are sold at Ls (kl and 2s 6d. Obtainable at R. Richardson,
