1 Made a Shirt.

More years ago than | shall name
| sought to win good wife's fame;
| knew not how, but all the same,
| made shirt.
| cut, / stitched with many a team;
followed it out, both front and rear;
| carved the armholes wide, for fear
They wouldn't fit.
Johns neck / measured, to be true;
The band must fit-that much
knew,
I'd heard so ott--all else drew
And puckered in.
At last twas done. A work of art,
Complete, / hoped, in every part.
"Come, john" called, with quak-
ing heart,
TRY on your shirt"
| must confess, it hulged somewhat
In places where | thought It should
not,
But John, the brute, yelled out
"Great Scott!
Is this a tent9",
And such behavior, language, we'll!
He uttered things Pll never tell
| may forget them when dwell
In higher spheres,
o, woman of the present day,
To you's inscribed this little lay,
You little know the man you pay
Your homage to.
If his "true inwardness" you'd know,
Have him your idols overthrow,
And sentiments to four winds blow,
Make him shirt,
Amy Hamilton, in N. Y. World.

John Ruskin on Lies.


We resent calumny, hypocrisy and
treachery, because they harm us, not
because they are untrue. Take the
detraction and the mischief from the
untruth, and we are little offended
by it; turn it into praise, and we
may be pleased with it. And yet it
is not calumny nor treachery that do
the largest sum Of mischief in the
world; they are continually crushed
and are felt only in being conquer
ed But it is the glistening and
softly spoken lie, the amiable fallacy
the patriotic lie OF the historian, the
provident lie of the politician, the
Jealous lie Of the partisan, the
merciful lie OF the friend and the
careless lie OF each man to himself
that cast that black mystery over
humanity through which we thank
any man who pierces, as we would
thank any one who dug we'll in a
dessert. Happy that the thirst for
truth remains with us, even when we
have wilfully left the fountains of it.

Whore the wnl-O'-the-wisp Is Seen

Whei the will-o'-the-W isp Is Seen.
The American who would tell the
West European that he had never
sean Jack O. Lantern, or will-o'-the
wisp, would not be believed. In
Ireland, Normandy aud Schleswig-
Holstein the ignus fatuus is SO frequ-
>ent phenomenon that it is known
to old and young by dozens Of IA
miliar names, and even further south
in tho French landes and on the
lower Danube, there are districts
where it is almost impossible to cross
swamp after the sunset of a rainy
day without seeing a score of fenfires
as they are called, skipping about in
various directions.

dated Gas Were Positively weak
Subsequently the Entire List
Moved Up ana Re9atned the Loss.

New York. Nov. 25.-Trading at the
Stock Exchange was moderate again to-
day, the sales footing up ia, 164 shares.
In this total Reading figures for 26,9o0
shares, Leather Preferred for 22,500. St.
Paul for 22,300 and Burlington for II, 900
shares. The course Of prices was ir-
regular throughout. At the opening the
prominent issues scored losses owing to
lower quotations from London and the
poor showing made by the ST. Paul road
for the third week of November. For
the period named the decrease i'm gross
earnings was over 1921, goo. The October
statement now about due II is generally
believed will show heavy loss in net
earnings. In the Industrials, Leather
Preferred, Chicago Gas and Consolidat-
ed Gas We're positively weak. The first
named dropped from G3 TO J97l and the
bulk of the selling was attributed to
holders, who were disappointed ut the
Smallness of the diedenl declared YES
terday. Consolidated Gas, which re-
Gently enjoyed a sharp rise fell back
SsS to 1G4 on realization, and finally re-
covered to 1854. Chicago Gas ran off
a point to 1885 cx-dividend. The re-
action was also credited to liquidations
Sugar fell about per cent. on the an
Aouncement of the closing OF the refin-
cries for repairs. Subsequently the en-
tire list moved up and part of the
early loss of A@% per cent. was re-
covered. Manhattan Western Union
Metropolitan Traction and American
Spirits were notably firm. Spirits Pre-
ferred bounded up from 303i to 33A on
reports of new trade deal. Manhat-
tan and Metropolitan Traction were
bought on rumors that negotiations
looking to 4 working arrangement had
been resumed In the final transactions
the market was Irregular, but in the
main firmer. Net changes show gains
of AQ7s per cent. in Sugar and Man
haitian and losses OF about as much in
