It was over 20 years ago when little Caspar 
paid a visit to the West country with his 
mother. The chief mode of locomotion, after 
pedals, was in that sectiou by lumber wagons.

hearing a long, rolling peal of thunder, he ex¬ 
claimed: “Why, mamma, does God ride in 
lumber wagons, too?”— Babyhood. >
