BIZ FRANk.--Never deceive for tho sake
Of foolish Jest, or to oxoite the laughter of
a few companions at the expense of a friend.
Be anxious when you relase' anything to tell
it Just as it*ocoSrfed, Never vary in tho
least degree. The reason why our cars arc

people 10 telling real things add little to
them. and as they pass through dozen
mouths tho original stories are turned into
something entirely different. So when you
attempt to tell anything that you have soen,
With your own >oyes relate it correctly In

will reap the advantages ofthis course.
