A Question OF Morals.

A correspondent OF the Christian
.idrOcate puts this odd question:
ain travelling IN foreign lands, per-
sons often undertake TO sell ancient
relics which they have found, and
Christian collectors sometimes pay
them a very small price, and then boast
that they arc worth m enormous sum
and sch them for that. Is this rightl"
To this the irreproacliablc answer
is given that "it Is right to buy thcn
as cheap - che dealer can be induced
by fair srgamcnt aud truthful repre-
scntations, 10 sell thom.r But. unhap-
PLY, the Christian 1,lrocate goes on
with a definition Of "truthful rcprcsen-
iationsv in which therc appears a good
deal rorc of tho advocate than tho
Christian. II says$
@Take, for example, old oight-day
clocks. 4 few years ago there was
rage for them; they were selling at
800 apiece, aud they originally tost
less than $50. A brother who knew
TINT they were selling al 800 went 10
and fro through tho country buying
them Of old people. Ills method was
TO ask them what TREY would take for
them, aud If they said $40, he would
pay them $40, aud take the clock away;
il thcy said S15 Ire took II away. Tho
farRcfs sskcd what the clock was
worth 20 them and got Il. This man
knew By his business Ssgacity what he
could get Tor them, they were free in
selling; they had no right to his spec
ial knowledge acquired by his atten-
tion to business"
Few moralists VIC think, would ap-
prove the course OF the "blolher."
The point Of the transaction Is that
the farmers did not ask for tho clocks
what they wero "worth TO thcm," but
only what they ignoraatly supposed
they were worth, knowledge ofthc ac-
tual worth, or selling yaiae, being pre-
ciscly the thing that was concealed
from them BY the brothers "busincss
sagaciiy.9 But "thcy had no right TO
his special knowledge" says the Adro-
cate, and adds Immediately. @Thc limo
Of right under the golden rule in such
cases Is difficult to draw"
This is sorry confusion. In no case
is the line OF right endcr tho golden
rule difficult to draw, Aor will Il ever
be until men cease knowing what they
would have done 10 themselves. Tho
rule is OF the sinplcst-thc only
difficulty Is in adopting IL. If fqhe
brother" had adopted II, he would have
told tho old people of the revived FASH
ion for cight-vlay clocks, aud the cur
rent prices tor them. Until he had
made such truthful representations
there was no ground Of afair argu-
fhent." In other words. he would have
dono to the old people what, in like
circumstances, he would like the old
people to do 10 him.--N Y. Post.

LAWYERS and Preachers.

The lawyers arc the cleyerest men,
the ministers are the most learned, and

Lawyers arc a picked LOT, "first schol-

either party, according to whether the
old rhiser or his expectant heir was

should side with the Lord or the Dey-

where the soul of sinner was in qucs-
tion. You can see what piece Of
work II would mako of their sympa-

The New York San, in answer
to a correspondent, says that dur

diers were killed and 1900 moro
died Of wounds, total of 10000.
The total strength Of the Union
armies, according to the same an.
thority, was 2,772, ,40S men, which
shows that only one man in 25 was
killed or died of wounds. These
figures also show how absurd it is
to say, as American writer's often
do, that that war was the bloodiest
ever waged. II was not even tho
bloodiest of the century, being tar
surpassed In righteousness by the
Napoleonic wars between 1900 and
1915.

with General Passenger Agent Eustis,
of the Burlington road. Both of those

FARGO. n. D., Dec. 5.-This Is the

tanned livery team here, and drove 10
Arthur, stopping on the way at Staple
ton. where he bought some cartridges;
that he was in the elevator Office

there about 1870 in the afternoon. He
was seen by girl running from there
about 5, and was seen by three men
driving south from Arthur about 6; that
he arrived at Mapletop about z, when
he left the team at the livery stable and
took the Northern Pacific train for
Fargo, where he arrived at 9 O'Clock
and purchased some cigars before TAX
ing train for Minneapolis. Chief of
Police Byrne, of La Crosse, was OH the
stand this afternoon and described the
arrest of the prisoner and the taking
from his person of a watch and
chain. long leather pOcketboOk
and a bunch of keys. Mrs. Flett
widow of the murdered man, took the
stand and identified all except the
watch. She had bought the watch chain
| for her husband as Christmas present.
| Tide KEYS in the bunch fitted his bureau
and drawers in the elevator office. She
was the first person who discovered the
