The Position In Society, Politics and Com.
merce of the Prevaricator.
For many years the wise men have in
sisted upon the Importance and beauty
of truth. W. read that all the glorious
and lovely productions of the arts de-
pend upon the truth as upon a solid and
enduring foundation. We read that
poetry and beauty rest upon the con-
genial substance of truth as a statue
upon its pedestal. But the man has not
as yet arisen who has given the other
side of the question justice or yielded due
praise to the efforts and worth Of liars.
We respect and evere the truth. We
adhere to it in theory and in practice-a
thing rare in the adherents of mere
opinions-but we believe in justice
though the heavens fall, and in all the
good, old fashioned axioms. In all
truth, however, to speak paradoxically,
the liar, as an element of practical adj
vancement, has been too long ignored.
1t is time that the pen and the brush
should do him homage.
Who sets the great enterprises afoat?
Who is the originator Of vast invest
ments and the instigator of magnificent
projects?
The liar.
Who is it that floats the bonds, dis
counts corporations and consultations?
Who is it hat has settled the wild
lands Of the west and made Uncle Sam
no longer a freeholder?
The liar.
Who is it that originates "booms'' and
distributes capital from the unwary to
the wise?
Who is it that makes wildcat mines
successful and sets a prize upon human
ingenuity?
Who is it that gives the impulse to pol
itics and the trend to political economy?
The liar.
The liar has as many guises as Porteus.
Anon he wishes to make your fortune,
and again he wants to borrow a dollar.
But he is always pleasant, affable,
agreeable, whether engaged in the solic-
iting of millions in world stirring plans
Of in attempting to cur a free lunch.
The truthful man will affront you with
rude candor and hold up your faults
brutally to your notice. But the liar
he will do nothing Of the sort. He will
make you comfortable and happy. He
will put you at peace with the world and
with destiny.
Whether he is in commerce, in politics
OF in the show business, whether he is
offering you a position or asking a favor,
let his merit be recognized Minneapolis

The Handwriting Sultan.

This ruler is currently imagined to al
low his ministers to do all his work.
while he himself lives a life of luxurious
Incidence. The very reverse is the rule.
The one man in all the Turkish domin-
ions who works morning, noon and
night, whose mind never rests from eff
fort to carry his people through the diff
fculties which beset bad system and
lack of means, is the monarch. The min
listers work little. the sultan necessarily.
Not only is this well known. but an init
mate of mine is an aid-de-camp in daily
attendance upon his majesty, and my
ideas CLEANED from him have given me a
hearty respect for the personality Of the
present bearer Of the crescent.
Since his accession he has scarcely left
his palace. Here he labors with honest
fidelity to effect the impossible. for the
bad Turkish customs are like the laws of
the Modes and Persians. The system is
as rotten as tbs people are hard to teach.
Moreover, the sultan is the simplest and
most plainly dressed man in his domin-
ions. The unpretentious courtesy OF his
personal bearing, his apparent lack of
egotism, his rather pale. nervous, IA
tigued looking face, are dignity itself.
l have never seen a more patriarchal
ceremony or one Of higher tone than the
quiet procession Of Selamllk.-Harper's

BARRY OBRIEN, the Irish litterateur,
has recently issued new edition of the
autobiography of Wolfe Tone, which is
reviewed at considerable length by United
ireland. Mr.. O'Brien sent Gladstone a
copy of the book and the veteran states
man acknowledged the courtesy in q
note to the author. He says he has
never been able to get the American edi-
ton of tho life of Tone, and declares that
Barry O'Brien IN his luminous preface
conveys more light on what is, perhaps,
the most interesting period of Irish
history than is to be found in many
Of the volumes relating to 1t. English
statesmen besides Gladstone have al
mired the character of the great Irish
rebel who devoted his entire life to the
task of severing the connection between
England and Ireland by sword and gun.
Wolfe Tones life should be studied by
the young men Of the Irish race at home
and in other lands. He was as unselfish
and pure patriot as Robert Emmett or
Lord Edward Fitzgerald, and the names
of the noble trio will be lovingly remem
bered as long as patriotism lives in the
breasts Of Irishmen.
