does the young fellow she is walking with.
He is clean gone on her-to the point of
confession. The other day he said wildly to
her: 1 love you. and I shall never get over
it till you marry me- And now. the more
he thinks of it. the more he wishes he
hadn't put it that way. But she will not
marry him. no matter howscorrectly he
should ask her. because he is poor. The
old widower is rich. and he will get her.
But the little manicure is holding of for a
spell OF freedom. and rules the roost in a
considerable circle here at Saratoga. If
she is as clever as l think she is. she will
make the biggest catch of the season. Her
old gentleman was dropped out of the race
the first day they got here. But he is an
easy-going old fogy. and let's her run
around as she chooses, hoping she will
come to him at last. There is nothing like
Saratoga, you see. for mystery that is as
plain as the nose on your face.
As the beautiful manicure swept past me
just now heard her remark that she really
must hasten to Newport. where SO many Of
her friends were anxiously awaiting her.
Her escort this time was the son of q very
wealthy New York man. He demonstrated
so vehemently with the lovely creature and
looked so desolete when he heard her
words. that I feel positive should she really
start for Newport or Patagonia he would
not lose sight of her. There is no doubt
about this young man. II the manicure
wants him she can have him; and think
she wants him. because polishing nails
can't be an agreeable way Of earning liv-
ing.

Fifteen Thousand Dollars for One.
Canton Miss Citizen.
Fifteen thousand dollars IN return for the
expenditure of one dollar is not a bad in
vestment, as all will admit, and that was
the coed fortune that befel our young
townsman, Mr.. Felix Hitler, who held for
tieth coupon in the lucky number (61, 605)
that drew the capital prize of 100000, and
his share, $15, O0O, was promptly paid to HIM
through the Canton Exchange Bank.
Az regularly as the months roll round the
papers chronicle the good fortune of those
ON whom the tickle goddess bestows her
blessings through the agency of the Louisi-
ana State Lottery. This is not the first time
winning numbers have been held in our
town, but so large an amount as that won
by Mr.. Hitler has not heretofore come our
way. We congratulate our townsman on
, his good fortune. The next drawing will
take place on Tuesday, July 16, the capital
prize being $500, 100. Will some lucky Can
tonian score another winning? Who car

Men at the Chronometer.

A prominent jeweler, speaking of the
peculiar habits of everyday life, said
to q reporter: at is very interesting
to observe people comparing their
watches with our chronometer. Some
times when trade is slow 1 derive
some amusement from the queer express
sions which fit across mems faces when
they find that the watches which have
been their constant companions for
years are betraying the intirmities OF
age by falling behind little. Some of
the owners come inside and ask, in q
half hopeful, half-sorrowful way, if we
are sure our clock is correct.
"The affection some men feel for
their time pieces is surprising, and
sometimes it is difficult to convince
them that their watches are wrong.
@The most entertaining class of all
who stop before my chronometer is that
composed of youngsters, with nickel
watches which they have, perhaps, re-
ceived from some enterprising clothier
as q pyle for the purchase of suit of
clothes. These boys will march up to
the chronometer with the air of million
aires, and draw their timepieces from
their pockets with flourish. Five, or
even ten, minutes out of time either way
does not concern this class of observ-
ers, so long as their watches keep
ticking"

Integrity.

who 20 wrOng?" asks an exchange.
This question is of much of the same
stamp as one that was formerly cur
rent: "Why is it that ministers sons
are so often scapegraces?" The latter
has been shown to be grossly unfair in
its implication that ministers sons are,
as a whole, unworthy of their fathers
and of their training. The reverse is
the case. There are exceptions, but
these are rare in comparison with the
number of sons of ministers who are
useful and honored citizens, many of
them pursuing the noble calling of
their fathers.
So when we are asked: "Why is it
that it is the good men who 60 wrong? ?"
the answer is that the inquiry is mis-
leading. Men who are reputed to be
good do 60 wrong in many cases, but
these are few in comparison to the
number of reputed men who do not go
wrong It is no surprise when it is
learned that man who does not bear
good name does something dishonest
or unworthy, because in this case the
expected happens, and there is not a
"going wrong" but further pursuit
of it. The good man by repute-and
the better he is reputed to be the more
surprise and shock if he does not bear
out his reputation-is the one who is
trusted, and when we hear of one who
has proved faithless it shows that his
reputation was not deserved, or that
his moral fiber has not been tested.
The man who is upright and honest
honest with himself as well as toward
others-does not 60 far wrong in his
dealings.
A reputation for integrity is one
which no man can afford to be without.
But the reputation is not the main
thing. This is to deserve it. It is won
by right doing, and is kept in the same
way. Once established, it is the best
letter of credit young man can have.
Without it he cannot hope to succeed.
In most cases men of strict integrity
have had it impressed upon them in
their youth that honesty cannot be dis
pensed with. Too great stress cannot
be laid upon this truth by all who have
dealings with the young. Temptations
to be dishonest should be, as far as
possible, removed from the path of
those whose characters are not fully
formed, and those who are older and
wiser should, by friendly counsel, aid
in firmly fixing right ideas in the
youthful mind.
Parental laxity is to blame if young
man or young woman begins work with
only vague notions of what honesty
means. Too many parents sadly ne
glect their duties in this particular.
They do not oversee their children as
they should, or hold them to strict
accountability, but faults are CLOSED
over or are not seen. Parents should
not be harsh and exacting, but they
should train up children in the very
way they should go. The honest boy
is father to the honest man.-Detroit

That night, when he came to Dream
land, he found it flooded with straw
berries. There were great cities in
which people did nothing but eat, buy,
and sell strawberries. Mobs stoned
him with strawberries. He fed, and,
in fleeing, he ran into garden
of strawberries. His feet became en-
tangled in the vines and the vines be-
came serpents that coiled about him
and devoured him. And again, he was
running across great plain and q
huge strawberry fell from the heavens
and crushed him. But he came into
existence again and found himself fee

rors! It is overtaking him. The earth
suddenly yawns beneath him-he is
falling. falling, falling, until he lands
in pit of strawberries. He writkes
and struggles and sinks in strawberries.
and finally is smothered in strawber-
ries.
But no amount of horror can ami
hilate his individuality, and he died a

Finally the great day of reckoning
comes and he is conference.-the eat
