Father I cannot tell a lie, I cut it

What memorable, brave, soul-inspiring words
 How they live and always will live in history
 stimulating our boys to pattern after and emulate the principles inculcated, and vie with each other in doing deeds of moral and physical cour- age. For that noble, manly reply of Georges certainly indicated wonderful physical as we'll as moral courage, as proved by the girls version of that little after-scene in the back wood-shed in which George and the elder Washington, the "old black snake" and a half dozen broken bar rel slaves, ! all played their parts. Fortunately the historian knew nothing of this scene, and if the usual precaution of enjoining the hired girl to secrecy had been taken, it never would have been known to soul outside the family. The neighbors thought the WashingtOns were ring ing pigs that morning, so gave the matter little thought. History is conspicuously silent about it and for the moral of the story it is well that 1t should be, but we elderly people have it pretty straight, that for a number of days after when George sat down to dinner he stood up most of the time. Now if this is fact, and we certainly can find ne written testimony to refute it, it is suggestive to say the least-and-and humphl The more we say the deeper water we seem to be getting into; here we have been hunt ing nice place for several lines back in which to adroitly switch the reader off after the manner of scores of shrewd advertisers of the present day, and draw some kind of comparison or paral- Tel between Baker, the Hawleyville FurnitureMan and the hero of this story, but we can't for the life of us see where it comes in. That is not to Bakers credit at all unless it be in some nection with Georges remark that he couldn't tell lie, but if George told the truth when he said it we fail to see much credit in that; we greatly prefer to be paraleled with some less not
 ed fellow who can tell lie but won't. Of course we can see now that we have made 8 stupendous fzzls of this as an advertisement. It isn't go- ing to bring single person to Hawleyvilie to buy our wares; they eoing to laugh at our misfortunes and we are out of pocket just what good money we have agreed to pay for this space for this whole week, unless the proprietor of this paper kindly offers to make reduction on account of our stupidity; but he won't, We know him of old he's a-he's a-hss a grssping, close-fsted, hard-we are not bit afraid to say just what we think, and finish what we start cd out to say, but when we reach the southern boundary line of our space and go starting over on ts somebody's territory that is valuable we know enough to know that it is true business policy and economy to stop right then and there.

We've heard of woman
who said she'd walk five miles
to get a bottle of DIR. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription if she
couldn't get it without. That
woman had tried it. And it's
a medicine which makes itself
felt in toning up the system
and correcting irregularities as
soon as its use is begun.
Go to your drug store, pay
a dollar, get a bottle and try
it-try a second. a third if
necessary. Before the third
ones been taken you'll know
that there's a remedy to help
you. Then you'll keep on
and cure II come.
But if you shouldn't feel the
help, should be disappointed
IN the results you'll find a
guarantee printed on the bot
tle-wrapper that'll get your
money back for you.
How many women are there
who'd rather have the money
than health? And "Favorite
