COVERING UP THE POISON.

How Reginald Was Taught the Difference
Between Being and Merely Seeming to
BE Pure and Truthful.
.'Uncle, what are you doing9" in
CURED Reginald, with perplexed face.
II am getting rid Of these offensive
vegetables" replied Uncle Prescott. as
he pinned two great snowy sheets of
paper together and reached for the
third; II see Dugald has neglected
--atters since have been i'll, and left
Ais poisonous heap upon the barn
:Ioor."
But what is the paper for, uncleP"
ITO cover it up, to be sure, f." replied
Uncle Prescott, rapidly pinning away,
until the thick white paper began to
stand like great white cone over the
offensive heap upon the floor.
Reginald did not quite know what to
say, and Uncle Prescott having COM
pleted the cone and glanced back at it
as though with satisfaction, left the
barn, with Reginald walking quietly at
his side, deep in thought as to what
Uncle Prescott's idea could possibly be.
Il am glad that uncomfortable OBJ
iect is out of sight" said Uncle Pres
colt, at length; II wonder Dugald
never thought to cover it Up.
Uncle, what is the use of covering
it up?" inquired Reginald; sit is just
as offensive.
ut is surely better covered up than
exposed to the eye. 1t is best, is it
not, always to cover up any such OBJ
iect?" :.
.'But, uncle, it is there all the same. "
$50 it is, but if nobody sees it, the
| fact of its being there can not amount
to anything, can it?'
Eyes, sir, J" replied Reginald, little
uneasily; ''we know it is there just as
if it were not covered
''We know, of course, but other
people do not, and we will not be likely
to tell them.
Reginald glanced, a little shyly,
towards Uncle Prescott, but did not
seem inclined to give up the subject.
1T poisons the air Just the same,
does it not, uncle? / have heard you
talk great deal about all such things
being unwholesome to have around.
''What is the difference SO that people
do not find it out? You see nobody
would suspect anything impure under
that snow-white paper.
s'But, uncle" exclaimed Reginald, II
perplexity, ''what is the use of having
it there; why not uncover it, and cleal
it out. and be done with ite''
why do you ask such unreasonable
questions, Reginald? Your words anc
your actions do not agree
Reginald thought, although ne die
not dare to say SO, that Uncle Pres
colts present action and past Word
did not agree, but he simply asked
why, uncle?"
81 can not tell why they do no
agree, unless it is because it is bette
always to cover up our real motive
and manner of doing things when w
know they are not quite as they shoul'

Reginald's face flushed, and Uncl

FRIENDLY LIONS.
Animals, Naturally Ferocious, That Can
BE Taught to Forget Their
WiIdness.

AlOnGSSs
Every boy who has visited menage'
RE knows that the lion is capable of be-
ing taught. Alton exhibited in Dutch
menagerie would leap through barrel
covered with blazing paper. He was so
tame that the keeper took his food from
him several times, with no resistance
save slight clutch and growl
If lion is captured when young, and
treated with kindness, he becomes at
tached to his master, and will follow him
like dog. Anderson, the Swedish natu-
ralist, saw, in the hut of an African
trader, one who was not only fond OF
his owner, but lived on the most affec-
Tomato terms with the dogs, cats and
other domestic animals.
Layard says, in his t'Neneveh and
Babylon" that the Pasha of Hillah, the
town built on the ruins of ancient Baby
lon, had tame lion, who was allowed
| TO stroll, unattended, through the ba-
Ears. He had only one bad habit; when
he was hungry, he would take possession
of butchers stall, drive out the butch
er, help himself to joint, eat it, and
then depart.
| IF he had a fancy to breakfast on fish,
he would 60 down to the bank Of the
Euphrates, wait the coming of fisher
mans boat, scare away the owner, pick
out the largest fish, and break his fast
as his leisure.
The Pasha encouraged his pet to get
his daily rations by this method, as it
relieved him from paying fisherman
and butchers bills. When the hon had
appeased his hunger. he would stretch
| himself in the sun, and allow the Arab
boys to play with him, as if he was a
large dog.
The captain of an English frigate kept
a large huge pet lion, which he had
reared from cub, that was SO tame as
TO be allowed the run of the ship.
prince" as he was called, was more
attached to his keeper than to his owner
One day the keeper got drunk, and the
captain ordered him to be aogged. The
grating on which the keeper, stripped
to his waist, was tied, stood opposite
Princes cage. While preparations
were being made for the fogging, tht
lion kept walking around his cage, stop
4 ping now and then to look at his friend
/ and at the boatsWain, who stood, ''cat'
in hand, waiting the word.
Al the first stroke of the knotted tail:
on the mans bare back, the lions side
resounded with the quick lashings of hi
tail. His eyes glowed with rage wher
he saw the blood began to flow. VIII
roar of thunder, he dashed himsel
against the cages bars. They bent, bu
did not give way; and the lion, finding
that he could not break out, rolled OF
the floor, shrieking as if in agony.
ssCut down. the man, said the cap
tain to the boat swain.
$50 to your friendn' said he to thu
bleeding keeper.
When the man entered the cage, tn,
lion seemed to be beside himself for Joy
He caresssed him with his paws, licket
gently the mangled back, and then
folding him in his huge fore-limb, LOOKED
as if he dared the whole crew to tax
his friend from his embrace Youth
Companion.

Official Dignity.

Official dignity is still SO severely
maintained in Germany that the Direc-
tor of Pomeranian Court recently is
sued a stern rebuke to those subordi-
mates who did not show sufficient respect
to their superiors when encountering
them in the streets. He requested them
to observe the following regulation:
every official who meets the Director
or one of the Judges is expected to pass
him or them on the right, and on APP
preaching them within two steps will
make bow and take off his hat down
to the level of the knee. BERLIN Paper.

simon Adams, a colored farmer
who lives in the Dry Lake dist
rict, called to see us as he always
does when he comes to town, on
Tuesday last. We were boys to-
gether and playmates and tho
Simon was a slave yet many a
rough and tumbled fight we had.
As to who licked is of no con-
sequence now, we are his friend,
and the friend Of all colored men
who conduct themseIver as he
does. Yesterday Simon was
dressed in a suit Of homespuu
which had been made entirely by
his wife. She had picked the cot
ton, spun the thread, wove the
goods and dyed it, then cut out
the entire suit and made it. This
colored woman has never been to
town or even to a country store
since she became free, but has
staid at home attended to her
duties and raised a family of
children. If the colorpd women
of Brooks county would take ST.
mon Adams wife for az example
and pattern after her they would
soon put themselves and their
families in a, better condition than
they now are.

THERE are many who hold to the
opinion that the Democratic party
Is as old as the Government. Such
are in error. Washington was
elected the second time as FEEDER
alist. John Adams was a FEEDER
alist. Jefferson, Madison and Mon
roe were elected as Republicans,
John Q Adams was elected by the
House as Coalitionist. jackson
was the first to be classed as a De
mocrat, and he ran in 1924 as Re
publican. We believe that the
first time the word Democrat
was given political significance was
in 1890, when the French Republi-
cans assumed it, clubbing their op-
ponents Aristocrats.
