IS LYING NECESSARY
An Experience in Truth Telling That
Wasn't a Gaudy Success.

An Experience in Truth Telling That
Wasn't Gaudy Success.
A great many persons pretend to sadly
deplore the fact that society is ever tell
ing great many little white lies. Frank
ness is strongly recommended and people
are praised for saying just what they
think
Frankness appears very admirable in
theory. but it is quite another thing in
practice. A certain amount of deception
seems really necessary for the welfare of
society and the man or woman who tries
to get on wholly without it is likely to
have few friends and many enemies.
1t is said that the minister of certain
Chicago church became disgusted with
the untruthfulness of mankind and
preached vigorous sermon in denuncia-
tion of society falsehoods. He declared
that lies told out of politeness were Just
as wicked as those told with deliberate
intention of deceiving. In fact, these
society lies get folks into the habit of
lying. and they readily pick up the other
kind.
The sermon made a great impression
upon the hearers. Many of the congre-
CATION resolved to reform then and there.
Coming out of church Deacon Jones
said to Judge Badger, who sat in front
of him, Judge, hope you didn't mind
my putting my feet under your pew?'
The judge was about to reply, "Oh, GER
tainly not:" but he thought of the ser
mon and answered:
II did, though: your old boots took up
all the room and were a fearful mai
sance.
We'll" said the deacon, 1.-The hair oil
you use smells SO it nearly forced us to
leave the pew"
They glared at each other. and Just
then Mrs. Badger and Miss Jenkins came
along. Miss Jenkins had asked:
"How do you like my new bonnet?'
''Oh, | thought it just low" began
Mrs. B., and then she thought of the
sermon and continued:
mo. | didn't either. 1t is horrid
thing. and | wouldn't be seen with it
on"
While these honest conversations were
going ON Mrs Smith had said to her
next door neighbor, Mr.. Murray:
II hope the crying of our baby last
night didn't disturb your
And Mr.. Murray replied:
''No-that is-yes. wanted to brain
the brat
And then Mrs. Smith called him a
wretch and wept. Then the minister
came out and asked young Synonds how
he liked the sermon. Symonds said:

it was blamed nonsense
Sir said the parson, and he drew
himself up very indignantly.

Deacon Jones was trying to hold Miss
Jenkins from scratching Mrs. Badger.
1t took tremendous efforts to stop the
rows and prevent a scandal, and as it
was. every one went away mad with
everybody else. -
The minister went home and meditated
in a gloomy frame of mind for three
hours. and finally concluded that society
lying was wicked, but he would not
preach against it again. 1t was alto
gether too handy and necessary sin to
be given up.-Chicago Herald

HOW TO COOK BANANAS.
Very PaIatable When Baked, Fried or
Roasted.


Roasted.
Harper's Young People
If the banana is taken just after its rind has
begun to grow golden but is still streaked with
green it will contain a great deal of starch,
which will make it palatable when cooked, while
the small amount of sugar which has been
formed will give it sweetness like sweet
potato.
Strip the rind off and boil it until soft, and it
will make one of the incest vegetables you
ever ate.
If you live in the country, where you are
blessed with the luxury of an open woodfre,
try roasting some peeled half-ripened bananas
in the ashes, as you do potatoes, and see how
savory meal they make.
1t is one of the commonest sights along the
Amazon to see groups of half-clad Indian men
and women squatting around little campfres
roasting bananas and having endless mirth try
ing to pick them out of the hot Goals without
burning their fingers
We are all used to fried bananas, but we are
prone to forget that for this purpose they
should not be fully ripe, as that makes them too
soft and too sweet.
Above ALL banana roasted or fried should
be served hot, for as soon as it becomes cold it
grows tough and unpalatable.

We recently noticed in restaurant that the
wires from which an incandescent electric light
was suspended were completely incmsted with
dead flies. The proprietor said that, although
they were constantly removed, they continually
gathered there, contact with the wire apparently
proving fatal to every fly that touched it. The
wings OF every fly were outspread, as if death
had occurred instantaneously at the moment Of
reaching the wire. 1t hardly seems possible
through an insulated wire could destroy even

Who Pays for the Ram ?
Bangor News.

BANGOR News
During lull in the court proceedings at Au-
burn the other day Sheriff Lamb propounded
legal question based on an actual occurrence
in East Livermore. Two neighbors in that
town own rams. One of the rams jumped over
the fence into the field OF the neighbor, and
while there injured one of the cattle which was
grazing in the field. The neighbor caught the
ram and tied him in the barn where his own ram
was tied. AS he happened to give him too much
slack rope the ram gotat the more securely tied
ram belonging to the man who had tied him
and killed him. After having performed this
feat he managed, through the extra amount of
rope, to get so entangled as to get hanged by
the neck until he was dead. The legal ques-
tion involved was as to who should pay for the
ram--the neIghbor who, by letting his ram
loose, caused all the trouble, or the neighbor
who, bytyme sip jn the barn SO carelessly,
caused the death oA lth animals.

LET THE BANKS ALONE.
Instead Of waging war against our
national banking system, which has
done so much to sustain our credit at
home and abroad, and which, I am
convinced, is, all things considered, the
best, safest and most convenient of any
banking system in existence, let US
rather support it and endeavor to i'm
prove it where found necessary to meet
the popular wants. 1t is only through
a we'll organized banking system that
we can procure that elasticity in the
currency Of which We hear so much,
and which the business interests of the
country require. A Government cur
rency, issued by Act of Congress, even
supposingit otherwise unobjectionable,
can never have this element of els
ticity. It will either be too much at
one time or too little at another. Would
it not, then, be wiser to seek to improve
a banking system which has served us
so well, where it may be found defec-
tive, rather than to break it down and

Gorman's Methodical Ways.

From the Chicago Herald.J
German is an interesting and ami
able man. His hobby is method. He
is the most methodical man in Con-
gress, and the most persistent in his
pursuit of certain customs. For in
stance, Mr.. German will not sit up
after II o'clock at night, except in cases
of great emergency, like night session
of the Senate. He rises at every
morning regularly as day laborer.
He sits at dinner precisely sixty min
utes every day of his life, and will not
be interrupted at meals under any pre-
text whatever. Intimate friends, Sena-
tors, even the President of the United
States himself, might call while Mr..
German was at his dinner, and they
would have to wait in the parlor or go
away without seeing the man from
Maryland. Senator German takes a
walk of a certain length every day,
bathes always at fixed hour, never
uses tobacco or liquors, and never does
anything that could endanger his
health. The result of all this caution
and method is that he is growing E
stronger and stronger, physically and
mentally, and though 81 has scarcely
reached the zenith of his manly
powers.

HELP FOR CLEMSON FROM HAMPTON
Valuable Books With Which to Start the
Library, and Seeds for the Farmers.
From the Greenyille News. I


PESDLEToS, February 9.-The Glenn
son College received few days ago
from Senator Hampton some three
hundred books. We have not seen
them, but we are told they are very
valuable, being mostly books of refer
ence We are also informed these
books, being the the first donation to
the Clemson college library, will
be numbered and the honored donors
name Will be duly enrolled on the
library register.
There is something peculiar about
these books. Sometime in September
last Senator Hampton wrote to Colonel
Simpson, president of the board of trus-
tees, informing him of his desire to do
nate these books to the Clemson College
and requested him to designate to
whom and where they should be sent.
But for unaccountable reasons this let
ter was not received by Colonel Simp-
sou until about two or three weeks ago.
Where it was all this time no one can
conjecture, but from the number of
pcstoffice stamps on the envelope it
has had many ups and downs before it
reached its destination. Colonel Simp-
son Immediately answered the letter
so long delayed, and the books were
promptly received.
Senator Hampton has also in the
last few days sent to DIR. P. H. E.
Sloan, secretary aud treasurer of the
Clemson College, eleven hundred pack
ages of seed, each package containing
four papers of different varieties and
requested him to distribute them
among the farmers as far as they would
go, and in such way as would do the
most good possible.

and make their own settlement and

course, can do better; but enough of

sections that are better. They say
there are many such, and I hope so.
On our homeward tsip We had as trav-
cling companions Mr.. and Mrs. Brown,
of Virginia, who came as far as
Montgomery, Ala, with US. We passed
through New Orleans at night and
made close connection and did not get
to see the famous French market, but
got some fine oysters-ask Mr.. Wyse
about them. Our homeward trip was
without incident until we reached
Montgomery where Mr.. - but L
