ever, succeed very well, and were only
too glad when the boys made their ap-
pearance at the door for us to lead them

whole attention on two or three hand

worthy of their imitation, but whether
they will profit from our teachings re-

satisfaction of having performed our
duty, whatever the results may be.

For instance, there are business schemes in
which you would invests
Your friend decides to let you in because he
loves you best.
He doesn't want to make cent-perhsps it may
be true;
But keep your eye upon your friend-he may be
working YOU
Now you Of course would not abuse the friend

But when you see dollar you will seize 1t II you

You would not work friend-oh, rc-fcr friends
are very few;
But look out for your warmest friend-he may
be working you.
You may in business have friend who'd sell
you goods at cost.
He does SO just to please you, and, no matter
He bows and scrapes and thanks you just as
other people do
But never for moment would he think OF
working you
You work snap yourself sometimes and in a
quiet way
Invite your friends to join the dance and then

A CRAFTY DEER.
Tho Method BY Which a Wary Old Stag
Escaped Pursuit.

Deer have learned wonderful cunning
from their hardships in the chase.
Sometimes wary stag, started up from
his covert, will run into another leafy
haunt where young animal has taken
refuge, and turn him ont, lying down
in his place, no doubt hoping with all
his painting heart that the hunters will
not know the difference. Hurried forth
from that resting place, he then doubles
and turns, and perhaps takes to the wa
ter, not only as solace for his heated
blood but to throw the hounds off the
scent. One old stag, mentioned in
"Forty-fve years of Sport" had even
more advanced ideas than these
For many years past Lord Lovat had
been trying to hunt down this stag,
nicl1named "Square Toes" but as the
animal had extraordinary cunning, it
was fifteen years before he succeeded
in getting shot at it. At last, one
day, when he and his stalker were in
hot pursuit of Square Toes" and his
several kinds, the animals assembled a
hill, and as they reached the skyline,
the kinds alone seemed TO cross it
Again the old stratcyist had mysteri.
o lsly disappeared.
The stalker took down his glass and
shut it with a slap, and Lord Lovat
equally Disguised, resigned himself to
the usual situation, Among the men
present, however, was new hand, who
declared bashfully, that one of the
kinds, in going over the skyline, APP
peared to have three ears.
"My lord" cried the stalker, ioyfully,
on hearing the remark, lyon stag is
with the kinds; we'd better be going"
However, Lord Lovat had seen no
reason for believing the stag to be there,
and still hcsitated.
"There's no time to be lost" insisted
the man. Come, my lord, let US be
going!"
"But how on earth do you make that
out?" asked his master.
"Well, my lord, )" replied the man, "if
you will be starting, to save time, will
tell you as we go. When you get to the
top of the hill we shall see Square Toes
or cm mistaken, for do you not know
yon lad said one hind seemed to have
three ears? Well, it's just possible you
third ear was brow antler, and the
canny beast has all this time been do
ing us by throwing his horns on his
back, and getting in among the kinds,
when going over the skyline"
Over the hill they rode, and found the
clever stag placidly feeding. Sad to re
late, his career as an inventor was then
and there cut short, but his method
has probably passed on, in tradition, to
other members of the herd.-Youth's

ON TRUTH.
A Virtue That Is Highly Esteemed by the
Greatest Liars.
AID, II. G IBsoN.

A Virtue That Is Highly Esteemed by the
Greatest Liars.
The most startling truth is told by
accident. Indeed, accident is the cause
of much of the truth that is told. We
all know men who with design, rarely
speak the truth; and the severest critics
of the truth are usually the greatest
liars. The novelist, whose trade it is
to lie pleasantly, insists upon absolute
truth in all books but his own, and the
editorial writer, who has just labored
an hour to sustain a palpable falsehood,
sneers in contempt at the incorrect
statement made by the weakling sheet
across the way.
"NIy son-in-law must be man of I'M
gentleman declare. 81 c7n forgive the
lack of other virtues, but absolute
truth he must have"
This old gentleman was well and
favorably known as the biggest and
most extensively equipped liar in the
state of Kentucky. Well, a man Of
truth was finally admitted into the
family as the husband of the daughter,
He was connected with bank, and
once, when the accounts were short, he
told the truth in court and was accord
ingly sent to the penitentiary.

gument against the truth. l believe in
