In Persia truthfulness is at a premium,
as the English resident soon discovers.
For some time after his arrival he is the
victim of his servants, of the tradesmen,
and, indeed, of the natives in general. AS
pr. Wills SAYS, he buys experience more
or less dearly, but having bought it he is
able TO correct his MISTAKES one by one.
Gradually he takes root in the country.
He "hits 1t off, with the Persians. The
solitary makes friends-real friends, not
mere northumberland strange to say,
these friends are often from the priest
hood, the most fanaticat among the Mos
lens. And these Oriental friends always
confess that what originally attracted
them to their new ally is the strange fact
that an Englishman doesn't lie.
1n Persia, the great hotbed of lies and
intrigue, a man who does not lie Is in
deed a phenomenon. Very soon the
Englishman is invited TO dinners, to mar
riage feasts even to pienics; for he is a
lion. and the Leo hunter exists, even in
Persia.
Little by little the influence of 'the
man who tells the TRUTH begins to
spread; disputes are referred to him; for
Is he not the only judge in the place who
does not hunger for q bride? Ar unpaid
arbitrator, he ''embodies the law" in
many a knotty dispute. There are no
fees in his cour and the reference being
by mutual consent and purely unofficial,
there can be no appeal.-Yoath's COM
pGnion.

ODD FELLOWS.

The Grand Lodge session was one of the
most successful ever held. The proceed
ings were harmonious aud the attendance
unusually large. The growth has been
remarkable, and the order leads in nu-
merical strength the several orders in its
class. The reports were published In The
NEWS of the important business transac-
ted, and the list of officers chosen was
given.
The attendance at the meetings of the
subordinate lodges this week vas small.
The regulars were all at the capitol at
tending the session of the grand body.
Garfield Lodge will have an important
meeting mex Wednesday night. So i'm
portant in fact that cards have been sent
to all the members requesting them to be
present.
Now that the. Grand Lodge land the
Encampment have met and adjourned,
the talk Will turn to the lodge elections
and aspirants for the offices.
A suggestion 10 some lodges who have
earnest and ambitious members seeking
the highest chair, who are not competent
to successfully manage the affairs of 8
lodge for a term. Let some Past
Grand be chosen, and at the
close OF the term resign and the am bilious
but incompetent member who by his
efforts deserves recognition and promo
ton be selected to succeed him and thus
gain the honors he aspiFes to reach by G
few weeks service. In this way all can
be satisfied and the interest of the lodge
will not suffer to any apPreciable
extent. To select a member as Noble
Grand for an entire term who has
worked ~zealously for the success of the
lodge, but is not fit to fill to place is bad
policy. Give him q few nights and the
honor. 10 defeat him will be to antag
onize him aud his friends and lead to a
fractional strife, which will be far more
injurious than giving him a few nights in
the chair. In every order there are men
of the class to whom / refer, and the plar
suggested has been tried and given entire
satisfaction.
District Deputy Fitzsimmons will be
n of the best who has served In his dis.
trict in that capacity. He understand
his duties thoroughly.
Judge Puster has been elected Presi
dent Of the Odd Fellows Home Associa
ton. 1t is an instance of the right man
in the right place. He has been an active
member Of the association, enthusiastic
in fact, aud is familiar with its affairs
He knows what has been accomplished
and understands how to conduct its
affairs. The Home will prosper under
his direction.
Past Grand Dempierre, an enthusiastic
member OF the encampment, was not for
gotten when the offices were distributed
at the Grand EDcampment. He was
entitled to one. He is a hard worker fol-

When 1t Was Due.

An illustration otthe demoralizing effect
of waiting for old shoes has recently
been presented in a foreign journal. 1t is,
perhaps. more customary in the Old
World to borrow money on the expecta-
ton of an inheritance than it is in the
United States; but the moral results OF
living upon the hope of some ones death
are bad anywhere.
Que OF the instances alluded to was
that Of a young man who had sought to
borrow money OF his ''expectations'' and
had been given the following note to
sign; he was asked to fill In the blank, in.
dicating at what time he would be able
to pay the note.
A the expiration of ---. I promise
to pay Richard Roe four hundred pounds,
with interest from date.n
He filled in the blank thus
AT the expiration of papa. I promise
to pay, etc."-Youtlls Companion.
