Confession Bad fol- the Pocket.

This isn't exactly moral story, but 1t
is one a well known and highly respect
able resident of St. Louis told with a
good deal of relish the other day
when was boy had the prettiest
notions about confessing fault, never
telling lie, and all that sort of thing.
One day threw rock carelessly and it
broke large pane of glass in the college
building.
Nobody saw me- could have escaped
without detection, but after reviewing
all my Sunday school precepts it occurred
to me that the grand and noble course
for me to pursue would be to call at once
upon the president and tell him how
had accidentally broken the window
pane 1t was a brilliant resolution. and
as started toward the presidents Office
| could almost hear him say: Brave
boy. your manly conduct is worth a
dozen panes of college glass. Go thy
way. my son, and be more careful in the
future" The president was stern, dig
nified man, and approached him with a
great display of humility:
Mr.. President, said |, Il broke a
pane of glass just now. but didn't go to
do it.
What's thatY he Numbered, laying
down his book and freezing me with a
look. You did what?
Broke pane Of glass in the chapel
SIR
You did? Well. young man, you
bring $1.75 with you tomorrow morning
to pay for it. or I'll send the bill to your
father. Understand that, sir?
'Ye-ye-yes, SIR faltered.
you bet l understood it. 1t meant
another humiliating confession at home
and a possible thrashing for my careless
ness. But it taught me lesson. The
next time broke a window glass l rar
like turkey and let the burned old col
lege find out who did it. And they
never caught me on another SIZE
either. "-Exchange.

Water That Lost a Customer.

It Is fun to watch the pineapple man.
He is a generous fellow, and the slabs
of pine that he cuts off and retails for q
nickel are thick and sweet. and his trade
is large
Unto him clerks, newsboys and mil
lionaires come the livelong day to re
fresh themselves with fruit. He peels
and cuts and cuts and peels. and still the
demand continues
A Wall street banker stops and buys a

minute, subtracts q thin slice from the
heap and gives it to the beggar. and she
goes on her way rejoicing.

the news met them. She knew that
officers would overtake her, for whether
or not her shot was fatal, it was too seri-
GUS to be forgiven. She met her husband
and drank her great soul full Of his one
caress, of his one kind pressure Of pallid
lips upon her own, and then laid him
down contented He never knew Of her
trouble.
People in the little Illinois town know
to this day the persecution with which
George Carlisle followed this heroic
woman; knew that the money her hus-
band brought her was dissipated in a
fight he had not the manliness to aban-
don And they also know the woman
was escorted by half the population of
the township back to the home made
sacredly hers by the defense there Of her
honor, and that she was there protected
by them against the ISLANDERS as we'll as
the assaults of her enemy until he went
at last-a tardy volunteer-into the
army, and fell with Heavens curse
upon him in the very first fight of his
life.
They know as well that the children of
these families grew up together in love,
unmarried by the strife of parents, and
that between bold Fred Albright and
Madeline Carlisle there was bond the
stronger for the stormy days of youth.
And closer than David to Jonathan,
nearer than Pythias to Damon drew the
hearts and the lives Of Fred and Wins
low, the boys who played in the barn
and the woods while poor, furnishing
Amos Albright was fighting death at the
mouth of a mine.
When they were grown they went to
Colorado together, and found city
where were barren rocks in war time.
They found out then what all Colorado
had known for years, that the Albright
vein was lost. No man ever had found it.
They knew he had told the truth. They
found the silver he had cached, they
followed his very footsteps down the
trail; but in the insanity which must
have come Of weakness and excitement
he had buried his treasure too well.
One of the men followed the search,
spent fortune and abandoned it. When
the boys came to Boulder three years
ago they easily secured all rights, and
began again the search the others had
found so fatuous. Madeline, now for
years the wife of Fred Albright, was
left at home, smoothing the sunset road
Of Mary's life in the very house where
George Carlisle had fallen wounded.
The boys worked together diligently
and confidently. They knew they would
find the "lost vein." Others said, Hope
you will; we couldn't" They never left
the search for an hour, and never omitted
an act that would assist them. Day
after day, month after month, year after
year, they hoped and labored, turning
aside for no seductive smaller finds.
And at last they were rewarded. Right
under the house in which they mad lived,
right down the center of rock as
broad and bald as an ocean billow, they
found that rift; and it was filled with
silver. How far down it runs no one
can tell How it may broaden or mar
row no one knows. But tons and tons
Of the ore have already been taken out.
and every ounce of it is worth dollar.
And it is sacred coin to them, for

Examples from the Bible.

The late lamented Bishop Kavanaugh,
Of the Methodist church, who was as
ugly as eloquent and as jolly as good
never tired of telling stories about his
distinguished but unfortunate friend.
Tom Marshall, of Kentucky. The two
men were warm personal friends. not
withstanding the striking antithesis OF
character and the not less striking diff
ference in personal appearance. Mar
shall was handsome and commanding.
The bishop was anything but hand
some; he was about as trim as Darrei
and graceful as sack Of salt This ex-
PLANTATION is necessary for a proper ap-
probation of what follows, but when
the great divine used to tell the story
he would bring out the application by
incidentally stroking the wealth OF
shapelessness that hung to his person
like the ill fitting garments he wore.
One calm June evening the bishop
was disturbed by noise in the direc-
ton Of the barn. He CROPPED his way
thither and found Marshall in the hay
loft, where he had sought shelter and
lodging. Tenderly the son of misfortune
was escorted to the best room in the
bishops house and induced to go to bed
in civilized fashion. Between prodigious
efforts to get off his clothes, his brain
and tongue partially recovered their
cunning, and he said:
'Kav. do you know why you and
make a good illustration of Bible his
tory"
The bishop replied as he would to
questioning child mo, Tom. Why?"
"Well," said Marshall reverently and
pathetically, 1.-The Saviour was without
where to lay his head. That's Inc. Then,

He was lodged in jail at that time near

that he had been badly handled by the
deputy marshal at that time. He bit
his lips until they bled, and would hold
