Couldn't Bear to be a Liar.

Two boys were in aschool-room alone
together, when some fireworks, contrary
to the masters prohibition, exploded.
The one boy denied it; the other, Ben
ME Christie, would neither admit or
deny it, and was severely logged for
his obstinacy. When the boys got alone
again:
"Why didn't you deny it," asked the
delinquent.
Because there were only we two, and
one of us must have told falsehood,"
said Bonnie.
"Then, why did you not say that I
did it?"
Because you said you didn't, and I
would share the falsehood."
The boys heart melted; Bennie's
moral gallantry subdued him.
When the school resumed the young
rogue marched up to the masters desk
and said:
please, sir, I can't bear to be liar
Il let off the squibs," and burst into
tears.
The masters eyes glistened on the
self-accused, and the unmerited punish
ment he had inflicted on his school-mate
smote his conscience. Before the whole
school, hand I'M hand with the culprit
as if the two were paired in the con-
fession, the master walked down to
where young Christie sat and said
aloud: .....
"Bennie! Bennie! lad, he and beg
your pardon--we are both to blame"
The school was hurshed and still, as
older scholars are apt to be when some
thing true and noble is being done, SO
still they might have heard Bennie's
big boy tears drop proudly on his book
as he sat enjoying the moral triumph
which subdued himself as well as filed
all the rest, and then, for want Of some
thing else to say, he gently cried:
Master forever!"
The glorious shout of the scholars
filled the old mans eyes with something
behind his spectacles, which made him
wipe them before he resumed the chair.

An Editors Experience.

Major Sidney Herbert. well-known journalist In
agricultural circles, writes April 18th, 1889: Some
five years ago wrote letter stating that Swifts
Specific had cured me of severe rheumatism. Since
that time have had no return of the rheumatic
troubles although frequently exposed to the lnf1u
ences that produced former attacks Several OF my
friends had q similar experience. and are firm in
their conviction that S. s. S. brought permanent
cure The searching powe" of this medicine is
shown in the fact that it developed a scrofu.ous
;sint that was conspicuous in blood over thirty
years ago, and has removed the last trace OF 1t.
have also tested S. S. s. as tonic after severe
attack of malarial fever. which kept me in bed for
three months, and am convinced that its curative
and strengthening properties insured my recovery
from that Illness as was in very low condition OF
health. SIDNEY HERBERT Auanta' oa'

Mormon Idea Of woman,s Rights.

Apostle Smith testified recently that
a Mormon could not take second wife
without the consent of his first. This
at first seemed to indicate that the
first wife was victim" only in the
immigration of non-Mormons. The
cross-examination, however, brought
out TINT the alternative presented to
the first wife was consent or eternal
damnation, and in case she chose the
latter her consent was no longer neces-

everlastingly whip Tamasese, az the latter was
in rebellion against the then recognized gov
eminent. This would have forever ended the
difficulty, as Malietoa could have cut to pieces
Tamasese and his followers.
Well, there they were, with Malietoa ready
to start his battle at my signals. Returning on
board ship found one Of his head chiefs anx-
iously waiting the word TO go ahead. By this
time some of the others arrived and the English
consul served me with formal protest, in the
name of the queen, against my precipitating
conflict, while the German consul earnestly en-
treated me not to start the affair. The United
States consul sided with me. We then all went
back allowing the hostile parties to retain their
situation, and tried to have the consuls hit
upon something"
The consuls did so. and an agreement was
signed by them and Malietoas and Tamaseses'
chiefs promising to keep the peace for ever.
This peace lasted till about August, 1887. In
concluding his talk, Commander Day referred
to the fact that the Germans have supplied
Tamasese with arms and ammunition and said:
IF our government intends to assert its rights
there and prevent the Germans getting full
control Of those islands the wsest move that
could be made would be to send out to Ma
taafa supply of arms and ammunition With
these he could hold his own against any force
the Germans can send against him for some
time. l have an idea that it is going to be q
very serious complication"
