How to Cure Exsggeration.

Some habits are so unconsciously
practised that a movement TO mend
them is the only way TO detect them.
The beam in ones own eye is less no
ticed than the mote in another per
sons eye.
A family while at the breakfast ia
ble one morning, pledged 10 observe
the strictest veracity for tnat day.
A member Of the family tells the con
sequence"
AS first fruit Of the resolve, We
asked the one who suggested 1t
What made you 50 late at break
fast this morning =
She hesitated, began with, Be
cause | couldn't''-and then, true to
her compact, SAID, The truth Is, i
was lazy and | didn't hurryor | might
have been down long ago
Presently one Of them remarked
that she had been very cold, adding,
IL never was go cold in all my life"
An inquiring look caused the speak
er TO modify her statement with, "On,
don't think was so cold after all.
A third remark TO the effect that
Miss So-and-so was ''the homeliest
girl in the CITY," was recalled as soon
as made, the speaker being compelled
to own that Miss So-and-so was only
rather plain" instead OF being ex-
cessively homely.
So it went on throughout the day,
causing much merriment, which was
good-naturedly accepted by the sub
jects, and giving rise to constant cor
rection in the interests Of truth.
One thing became more and more
surprising, however, to each one OF
US that was the amount Of cutting
down which our most careful state
ments demanded under this new law.

War is q Bad. Bad Thing.

THAT Chickahominy was er bad,
bad place, tell you" said Plunkett.
1T was in the days when there was
no peace between pickets. They
didn't swap tobacco for coffee and
say, how are you, Yank, or How are
YOU, Johnny Reb, erlong them lines.
\ fellow had TO keep behind some
thing and keep mighty close. You
could put your hat on your bayonet
and stick il out and three or four
bullets would hit il before you could
say Jack Robinson. Sharpshooters
were everywhere. and it's of two OF
these that want TO tell you.
For several days man after man
was shot on the Confederate side, and
the sharpshooters' place of conceal
ment had not been spotted. AT last
one OF the Confeds decided that a.
soon as darkness came ergin he
would try to make il TO er big log
that lay between the two lines, and
30 the next day he would nave better
chance TO observe up and down the
line. No sooner had dark come than
the Confederate started from his log.
He got there by crawling and creep
iug aud never cracking stick.
AT sunrise the next morning the
Confederate was snugly planted be-
hind the big log, but he was horror
stricken TO discover that the fellow
who had been doing the killing Of
his comrades for several days was
Just ON the other side Of the same log.
They discovered on" another's pres
ence at the same time and at the
same time they both lay mighty close
TO the ground and hugged the log.
AT last the Confederate lowed To
the Yankee:
Hello, lank, you're in er mighty
tight place, amt your
The same 10 yourself, Johnny
Reb, replied the Yankee.
We'll, darn you, said the rebel,
YOU daresent raise ' our head.
The same TO you, said the lank.
You make the first move
I'm let you do that.
"'I hain't ergwine 10 do IT,.
"'Nor hain't ergwine To do IT,
And SO they talked for an hour
or two, daring each otherto make the
first move, till at last they agreed TO
a truce between themselves, saying
that il would be murder for them to
shoot each other under the circum-
stances The agreement was that
they should not modest each other,
but had the right TO use every oppor-
tunity against anyone else, and when
night came they were to both retire
from the log back TO their commands.
The day rolled on till away mp In
the afternoon, when n young fellow
on the Confederate side tried To
change his position from one tree To
another, when the Yankee behind the
log pulled his trigger, and the young
fellow dropped dead.
IAN exclamation broke from the
Confederate behind the log and he
lowed
THAT was my brother.
my God, you don't say 30 said
the Yankee.
Before a second could have been
counted the Confederate's gun crack
ed and Il young soldier fell full length
from behind tree.
IAN exclamation broke from the
Yankee behind the log, and he
lowed
THAT was my brotherv
MY God you don't say 80 ? said
the Confederate.
Yes said the Yankee, and he
leaves a wife and three children back
in York State.
And my brother, said the Con
federate, leaves father and mother.

OF their youngest child.

WILLING HANDS.

Thank God for the willing hands
That are honest, and brave, and true,
That lay not folded, but labor hard
To do what there is to do.
Rich gems OF the world are they.
Where fancy is drowned in fact,
Where time is a thing OF reality,
And to live is TO think and act.
Thank God for the willing hands
That are gentle, and soft, andkind,
That quiver not al sight OF pain,
But are ready the WOUNDS to bind.
Whose gift is gift of love
More precious than tongue can tell,
That fingers light on a sufi 'rer's brow,
Till he sleepeth, and "doeth WELL"

AN interesting investigation concern
ing the wages paid in Massachusetts, has
been made and its results set before the
public. The report covers the weekly
wages to 24S, 200 employees, or about two
thirds of the total number of employees
in the establishments of the state en-
gagged in manufacturing and mechanical
industries. From an analysis Of the
tables it appears that Lila employees,
or nearly II per cent of the whole num-
Der whose weekly wages have been as
certained, are receiving less than IS per
week. There are 23,201 receiving but
s. but under So per week, 1924 receiv-
ing So but under 81 per week, 90, 5S3 re-
ceiving 81 but under SO per week, II ,O23
receiving So but under 50 per week, and
1885 receiving 50 but under $40. AL
most 60 per cent of those employed in
manufacturing and mechanical indus
tries in Massachusetts,, therefore, receive
weekly less than $40 for their compensa-
ton. Many of these, of course, are
females, but large proportion of them
are males with families to support. The
medium wage class, or that class in
which the proportion of each sex re-
ceived specified wages approaches the
proportion of all persons employed re-
ceiving the same wages, is that in which
the operatives receive IS but under 50
