NO TIME TO LIE.

Jessie g. had the reputation of being
the biggest liar in 1eorgia and was
never known to come out bedind. One
hot CAV B II H. sat on the shady side
of his barn. After dinner he saw Jes-
sic riding in great haste toward town.
Bill halted him and went TO the gate
Jess asked what he wanted. Stop
AID tell us a big lie" said Bill. NO
time for lying now," said Jess. Your
Uncle Sol died suddenly an hour ago,
and am going for The coroner and a
coffin" And on he went. Bill ran ts
the house and told his wife. She gath
cred up the children He hiched the
horse to the wagon, loaded his family
and posted Off four miles through heat
and dust to Unc'e Soils. On arriving
he found the family and two neig bors
in the large kitchen Uncle Soil buried
to the eyes-in a big watermelon.
The surprise was mutual and ex-
plantations followed Well, said Bill.
Il asked Jess for big lie, and not
op y got it but WAS fool enough to
believe it. [ would not believe him
again if kuew he was dying"

A Very Good Definitfon.

A little New York boy, Tommy Knick-
erbocker, whose father is a prominent
club man, was studying his lesson not
long since. The little boy was very much
puzzled over his lessons and finally he
asked his pa:
Pa, what does the word 'pretext'
mean?"
Don't bother me, said his father, who
was reading newspaper; but his mother
spoke up and said sweetly:
when your father says he has to go to
the club on important business, that is a
pretext to get away from his family"
Tommy jotted down the definition and
read it out in school, thereby causing a
sensation.

Palmy Days of Countersettinr.

Counterfeiters now have at their dis
posal every facility which the Govern
ment has. Their engravers are as skillful
as the Government engravers. The only
defense has been in the use of special pa
