Little Gertrude, aged three, was saying her prayers. "Is God
everywhere?" she asked.
"Yes, dear, everywhere," answered her mother.
"_Everywhere?_" she persisted.
"Yes, dear, _everywhere,_" repeated her mother, all unsuspecting.
"Then He must be like Uncle Ned," said the little tot.

THE SATURDAY EVENING POST
THE LAST MATCH
By Roy Comfort Ashurst
Slowly the girl in the green hat approached the swinging door of the
hotel.
She was thinking.
A man more versed in the ways of womankind than Ned Pillsbury might,

a new thing in trucks.
The Gargantua combines all the qualities of the truck with the
conveniences of a Fall River boat. Its transmission system has been
called "The Queen of Transmissions." The efficacy of its bull-pinions
in the tractor attachment has been the subject of enthusiastic praise
from bull-pinion experts on all continents.
