MEN OF INTEGRITY.
The Kind OF a Reputation Which Helps
One Over Many Hard Places.


One Over Many Hard Places.
why is it that it is the good men
who go wrongP" 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?n The latter
has been shown to be grossly unfair in
its implication that ministers sons
are, as whole, unworthy of their fa-
theirs and of their training. The re-
verse is the case. There are excep-
tions, 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 call
ing of their fathers.
So when we are asked: "Why is it
that it is the good men who go wrong?"
the answer is that the inquiry is mis-
leading. Men who are reputed to be
good do go wrong in many cases. but
these are few in comparison to the
number of reputed good men
who do not go wrong. 1t IS
no surprise when 1t is learned
that man who does not bear good
name has done something dishonest or
unworthy, because in this case the cX-
pected happens, and there is not ''eo-
ing wrong" but a further pursuit OF it.
The good man by repute-and the bet
ter he is reputed to be the more sur
prise and shock il he does not bear out
his reputation-is the one who is trust
ed, and when we hear OF one who has
proved faithless, it shows that his rep
utation was not deserved, or that his
moral fiber has not been tested. The
man who is upright and honest-hon-
est with himself as well as toward
others-does not go far wrong in his
dealings.
A reputation for integrity is one
which no man can afford to be with
out. But the reputation is not the
main thing. This is to deserve it. 1t
is won by right doing, and is kept in
the same way. Once established it is
the best letter of credit a young man
can have. Without it he can not hope
to succeed.
In most cases men of strict integrity
have had IL impressed upon them in
their youth that honesty can not be
disposed with. Too great stress can
not be laid upon this truth by all who
have dealings with the young. Temp
tations 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 ane
wiser should by friendly counsel aid il
firmly fixing right ideas in the youth
full minds.
Parental laxity is to blame il q
young woman begins work with q
vague notions of what honesty means.
Too many parents sadly neglect 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 Free Press

On the TraiI of the Robbers.

Tucson, Ariz., May l7,-Advices from
Fort Thomas say that Cyclone Bill, who
was arrested at Clifton yesterday, is un-
doubtedly one Of the gang that robbed
Paymaster Wham. He answers the de-
seription OF the lame man. He can not
explain his whereabouts during several
hours previous to and after the robbery.
-Four others Of the gang are known and
will probably be arrested to-day. A wom-
an passed Major Wham on horseback
half an hour before the attack, going to-
ward Thomas, and when the fight was
over she was seen near by. She saw the
robbers, recognized six of them, all of
whom are well known in the vicinity Of
ThOmns.

TROUT-FiSHiNG SECRETS.
An Ancient and Acute Angler Imparts
Some Important Information.

An Ancient and Acute Angler Imparts
Some Important Information.
Fly-fshing is supposed to be so diff
cult of mastery that many are deferred
from mourning the expense OF an outfit
which is OF no use in ordinary angling.
But let the veteran fisherman say his
own words:
There is secret in fishing for trout
with the artificial fly, but it can be
learned in half an hour by man who
has no prejudices and keeps his eyes
open. do not say all will succeed
equally well, but any man who has
'gumption' and will take these hints
can't help catching fish, and he may
fish all day, il he goes about the busi-
ness according to his own notions, and
not get single rise for his trouble.
FIRST OF all get the highest rod you
can. II il is well balanced and has got
the spring it is good enough. Don't
bother with lot of flies and use only
one on the line at time. Here arc
four flies that will serve all purposes.
One is the red spinner; the second is
the black gnat; the third is the coach
man; the fourth and boss OF them all
is the red Palmer or red hackle, as it
is indifferently termed.
Now for the secret Take the red
hackle as the standard and you will
understand. II you throw it out and
just drag it along the top of the water,
as most people do, what do you sup
pose a trout will take it for? Why,
just for what it is--a bunch of hair, no
more, no less. You drag il along and
the hairs close on the shank of the
hook; it is just a dead mass, not re-
sembling q fly, or a caterpillar, or any
thing else. But suppose, instead of
this, you work your wrist very gently
up and down, so as to let the elastic
hairs of the hackle expand and close
with the stream, what then? Why,
the thing looks alive, looks like a
drowning insect and the trout goes
for it directly. 1t is the same with
winged flies exactly. There is no use
having wings TO fly If you simply
drag it through the water in one direc-
ton.
Just one hint more" he said to the
reporter. '1f a trout goes for your
ay, don't strike with your arm as it
you meant TO knock a mans head of
with club or slug ball for three
bases just turn your wrist sharply
and on the instant, for the trout blows
out the fly directly he finds what 1t is,
and it doesn't take him half a second
to do it, Fish up stream, use one Ny,
and that a red hacklc. work your fly
in the water to make it look alive, and
you win fill basket while your neigh
bors are tiring their hearts and souls
out and catching nothing.
LET me say, too, that you can't
throw fy too lightly on the water
70 do this you must keep your body
still throw with the arm, and tho arm
only, letting the spring of the rod do
the last part of the cast In this way
the fly is made to fall first which Is
every thing. Watch novice and you
will cease to wonder why he never
raises fish. San Francisco Chron-

ANOTHER NATURAL WONDER.
A its-of-Turpentine- bearing Well
Discovered in Georgia.

SAVANNAH, Ga, May ia special TO
the Times from Donaldson, Ga, says
Laurens County is intensely excited over
the discovery of spirits of turpentine.
Gas has been observed coming from the
well ever since IL was dug two years ago.
More than month ago the water became
so impregnated with turpentine that it
could not be used for drinking purposes.
a few days ago bucket of colored tur-
pentine was hauled out An investigation
was made, and fourteen barrels were
drawn off. In few hours the spirits
had risen to the same height. A barrel
of it reached Savannah yesterday morn
ing and experts pronounced it the pure
article. 1t is not believed that the we'll
has been "salted," and the mystery is so
far iuexplicable. The find is the talk OF
the day at the Board of Trade here, and
little dealing in turpentine will be done
until further results are obtained from
the we'll
