The Champion Liar.

"Do you not doubt me, Myrtle?"
"Never" exclaimed the girl, putting
on her invisible net as she spoke and
placing her bandoline bottle where she
would be sure to see it in the morning.
The sun had glared down fercely all
day upon the parched earth, and now
that night had come the heat was even
more oppressive than ever, because the
cool wind that had been waited from
the lake during the day had died away.
It was dreamy, sensuous, one-gauze-
under-shirt- evening, such
as one often notices while travelling In
Palestine.
aYou have great faith in me, have you
not, little one?" Vivian Mccarthy said

YOU with childlike faith akin to that

die.
aAnd would you believe anything l
told you?" Vivian murmured, kissing
the dimpled hand that lay in his.
Looking at him with her starry eyes,
in which there cleaned a holy love Light,
the girl replied slowly and with infinite
pathos. 80
matter what you told me-. ,
"Then," said Vivian, while a baletul
light shot from his near eye, "there is
no ice cream in Chicago"
For an instant, dazed by the shock,
MYRTLE did not speak. But presently
the voice of her heart found echo In
words.
81 can never leave you now, she
whispered. "There cannot be another
such liar in all the wide world. "-Cht-

HOW THE LION AGREED.
A Fox met Rabbit one day soon
after Patrick Henry's great speech, and
began:
See here, my friend, L am not to
blame for being born into the world,
and now that I am here the world owes
me a living. I am going to eat you !"
The Rabbit protested, but in vain.
The Fox was picking his teeth of the
least bit of meat when the Wolf came
along and remarked: r.........,.,
81 have made up my mind that the
world owes me living, and shall be-
gin to put my theory in practice by
making dinner off of raw Fox
The Fox tried to prove that such a
theory could apply only to bob.tailed
animals like the Rabbit, but he was
knocked over and devoured. While
the Wolf was congratulating himself on
his good luck, along came the Lion and
asked:
"Why did you murder the Fox?"
because the world owes me living,
and Fox meat was. the only provisions
handy"
"The point is well taken" continued
the Lion. eff the world owes one per-
son living it owes the same to all,
Therefore shall dine on Wolf"
MORAL:
The world is quite apt to pay it's in,
debtedness by furnishing room to bury
it's creditors.

Fifty Years.

A half century OF experience, nearly,
has passed over US in our national be-.
ing-since 1885. and We speak of the
progress and better condition Of the
country in every particular over what
it way fifty years ago. In very many
respects We have reasons for this. But
III the respect of honest devotion to the
country on the part of those high in
office, how is i'll Nearly fifty years ago,
Daniel Webster uttered the following:
1T is necessary to bring back public
officers to tho conviction that they be.
long to the country and not to any ad-
ministration or to any one man. The
army is the army of the country neith-
er of them is the mere instrument of
the administration for the time being,
or of him who is at the head of il. The
post. office, land Office, the custom
house, are. in like manner institutions
OF the country established for the good
of the people, and it may we'll alarm
the lovers Of free institutions when
al the Offices Of these several depart
ments are spoken of in high places as
being the spoils of victory, to be en-
joyed by those who are successful in
contests in which they profess this grasp.
ing of the spoils to have been the object
of their efforts"
Ii this language was true in 1886,
how is it now, when the nation has al
most become the common prey of all
species of marauder? The man who is
dishonest now in public life must be
pretty much the same kind as Webster
had in mind. Times have not changed
in this particular very much. The
language quoted above is just the same
that some statesman whose hands had
never been polluted with public spoil
might have uttered twenty years ago
ten years ago, or might utter to-day.
It is indeed necessary to-day
that public officers be brought back to
a conviction that they belong to the
country and that the country does not
belong to them, or to any administra-
ton or to any one man. 1t has come
to such pass that the superstition in
dulged in these gentry is just the other
way. To them the country is the brow
sing ground upon which they hope to
grow fat. People often wonder if
change is ever to come. To these anxi.
GUS inquiries it is well to suggest that
as all things human change, there may
come change after awhile. The peo-
pie of this devoted land will force a
change of some kind, it is devoutly

He was allowed to sleep in the hotel where he stopped until o'clock in the afternoon before being disturbed, and at this hour was found in an unconscious state. Medical aid was sum-
 moned, but all the efforts of the physicians were unavailing, and at 9 o'clock he expired. Mir.
