"ON THE LAZY TRAIN'—For real fun from start to finjsh It would be
hard to beat “The Lazy Train.” Never before was such a marvelous,
Wheezing, clanking bunch of scrap iron called a railroad train. The
antics of the engineer and conductor are full of genuine comedy.

“oO

°f us have only one shirt, but in this case the chap loaned his to @
‘rlend to call on his (the owner of the shirt) best girl. A most

INTERESTING SERVICE HELD
BY BISHOP DU VERNET

CONFIRMATION SERVICES HELD AMONG THE NAAS INDIANS—
LARGE NUMBER PRESENT

It is not often that one hears
of a large village of houses and
a good-sized church which are
only used for two months in the
year and the other ten months
stand idle, but such is the case
with an Indian village twenty
miles up the Naas, called Fish-
