By this tine the spectators had de-

was ready 20 feed the lions and invited
him into the cage.

Pardon me. Gisele, for not accad ing to

replied Robert. Il have resolved to enter
the cage and shall do So"
Robert turned away from Gisele and a
moment afterwar1 he and the lion. tanner
entered the cage. The lions. eight in
number, moved hither and thither. obedi-
ent to the command Of their master. but
their large golden eyes showed their aston
ishment at the presence of the intruder
who accompanied him.
Gisele and Langle looked on in silence
and IL agony. Gisele. who was very pale,
was only prevented from tgiving voice to
her anguish by the fear of aggravating
her lovers peril. Her eyes, which were
big with fright, were fixed on Robert.
He, on the other hand, was quite calm,
at least in appearance. Like Bidel, he
was armed with bar of iron and a
rawhide. He wasssthus doubly prepared
to repel the lions if.they came too near
him.
Robert was in the .cage about FIVE min
utes. Then he left it and rejoiped Gisele,
who, radiant with JOY, her hands extended,
exclaimed:
'Oh, Robert! how l admire you! How

Robert took one of Gisele's hands in
his and, interrupting her, said, in calm
voice:

the act which you applaud was performed
for my own sake rather than yours. Ii

An Acquired Virtue


There is no other way TO teach a child
truthfullness except example. A fact
that parents seldom take into account in
the training of their childres in the ways
OF truthfulness is that young child is
not born with an instinct for truth tell
ing. The love of truth is an acquired
virtue. A child can have 1t, but it must
be taught it. And the way to teach trut Il
is to live 1t: Never depart from the
strictest truth with child ard he will
30on come to know what truth means
And be patient if his little feet follow
your own in truths highway, fattering
some times. Remember how perplexed the
little brain must often be betwixt the
world of relities In which he wells part
of the time and the world of unIeaities
into which his busy imagination gives
him the tree. He spends two-thirds of
his waking time in playing that things
are something else. He bitches a chair
up with 8 rope, and it is a fiery steed or a
train of cars. Put big cooked hat on
his head, and he straightway becomes a
fireman, and rescuss throngs of stricken
people from burning building. The cat
is lion or tiger or whale. as may need
be, and the stuffed doll is a sick baby, on
which the mother weeps profusely. In
this shadow half true world the little ores
live, and then suddenly one of their elders
swOops down upon item and der1ans
sharpest, most accurate statement Of facts
from bewildered little mind that cannot
even know whether the world of fact is
the one it habitually dewells in or not.
The only wonder is that children are not
all hopeless hars.-St. Louis Republic.

A Republican club meeting was
held. not thousand miles from
Memphis, the other night and a voter
who has always supported that party
remarked, after attending, that the
speakers went over the same old war
Issues, which have been settled for
the past twenty five years, and nothing
was offered to bring relief to the
people. That farmers and merchants
were on the brink Of bankruptcy, and
his party were living ON the issue of
many years ago. That mechanics
were working out bare existance
by practicing the strictest econcm,
and the Republican party was Offering
nothing to help til I'm better their con-
slition. This disSruntcd Republican
expresses himself dissatisfied and
tired and will undoubtedly cut loose
from former parties and join one that
has live issues, something that will
relieve the people and stop the class
laws that has been passed by the
Republican and Democratic parties.
He will find plenty of company, tina:
will give Him and others q hearty
welcome.

The subtreasury bill: as proposed
by the Farmers Alliance and Indust-
rial Union, is alleged by some Of its
opponents to be class law in favor
of the farmers. We deny it, though
it may seem so at first blush. If it
specially favors any class it is the
merchant. The merchant carries the
harti-up farmer for months without
interest while the latter is waiting for
a favorable market. Should the sub
treasury system be adopted the
farmer short of money would get
money OF the government and i'nme-
diately hand it over to the merchant.
Now who would have the use of this
money for the short time it would he
