turers' Paper company of New York

From time immemorial an ad-
vertisement has been looked upon
as a matter to be handled with
care, lest the reader should be
trapped and swindled. 1t was
looked at as fiction, and was so
treated. But during the.past few
years the truth as spoken in our
advertisements has done much to
eliminate the possibility of fc-
ton. We have always stood
ready, willing, yes, and anxious,
to back up every statement made
in our advertisements ir regard to

who did not like to tell OF Georges un-
manly actions. Mr.. Brumbaugh. how
ever. supplied what Philip was unwilling
to reveal, and with the boys pleasure at
hearing his aunts words of praise was
mingled a feeling OF shame and regret ut
having brought 10 his aunts house VS.

OF her kindness.
In the morning George complained OF
feeling very unwell. and said that he
thought he had better go home at once

he got out OF the buggy at The station
that he didn't care much for the coun-

When Philip returned his aunt sent
Rim to the white house on the hill to get
some berries. and after helping TO PICK
what Mrs Kramer had ordered. he was
invited TO eat all he wanted. This was
only one OF the enjoyable incidents which
always accompanied his visits TO the
Rrumbaughs. and often, as he ate straw
berries. or Toasted upon apple pie and
cream, or enjoyed a cherry roll. baked
expressly I'm his honor, he thought of his
mothers oft-quoted, "All's not gold that
glittors," and always added in his
thoughts. "And ali gold don't glitter
either. nor can you always tell gold when
you see it," and he would look at hts kind
entertainer as if he considered that the
purest Of gold was the only mineral which
would bear comparison with her.

good friends as THY were before they
went TO the country together.-Mrs. Caleb
