A QUALITY MOST DESIRED.

Among the qualities most to be desired
In a young girls character is a high sense
of honor. l wish could impress on every
reader the need of being always above
everything petty or small, so that one
would not tor a single moment ever be
tempted TO DO a mean or undeThand thing,
to speak unkindly of a friend, or to re-
peat a conversation which was confiden-
tial.
1t may happen to you, for instance, to
be visiting IN the home of a relative or
a FRIEND; where there may be a little fric-
uon at the table, or where some anxiety
arises about the course of a member of
the family. No matter what you see or
hear, in such circumstances you are
bound, II you are an honorable person, to
be silent about ii, neither making COM
ments nor looking as if you could tell
something IL you choose, nor in any way
abiding to what is unpleasant, at any
future time. a guest in a home cannot
be too careful to guard the good name
OF those unoter its roof, for it is an honor
to be a guest in the first place, and
honor IS demanded in return.
Again, a nice sense of honor in matters
connected with money is very important.
Polly is treasurer of a society, and has
the care of the funds. She must never
for an instant, or in an emergency, lend
these funds TO other people, or borrow
them for her own use. L knew a girl
Polly was her name, by-the-way-Who
certain guild, to lend her brother for
one day, the money she had in her care.
The brother was older than Polly, and a
very persuasive person. He said: why
should you hesitate? I'll bring it back
TO you tonight, and it. will oblge me
very much if / can take that fifty dollars
and pay q bill l owe before noon today
Foolish Polly permitted her scruples to
be overruled- The money was not brought
back, and but for her fathers kindness
in making it good she would have been
disgraced as a dishonest treasurer. she
told me long afterwards that the lesson
to take liberties with money which she
held in rust.-From Harpers Round
Table. ~
1t was in the car of one of those narrow
gauge railroads that penetrate the Wilds
dogs in the baggage part of the smoker
brought the conversation of the hunting
party around to pointers. Many wonder
full tales Of these excellent animals had
been told, when an old veteran with griz.
zled wh;skers who had remained silent
remarked:
THAT last story of yourn, neighbor
puts me in mind of my dog. We were VI
near the border, precious nigh onto civil
cation, and 1 had played in pretty gooc
luck, bagging a couple of brace before
noon. All of a sudden / missed the dog
and 1 Whistled and stamped round, but
COulQn I raise nm nOhOW. FINALLY L give
it up. l knew he must be pointing some
where about, and thought he'd show W
when / went into camp. Well, he didn' t
and / finally left the region.
! Il happened to get up there again 'bou
| three weeks later, and striking in neal
the same place, what did l stumble owe
] but the dog, rigid as stone and pointing
up a tree. Yes, gentlemen, he had
| bird there, and kept it till 1 came Wher
| / shot it. the dog keeled over, couldn'
! Of nd longer Ire
| a pretty good stretch for dog, but h,
was q wonder.
And the old veteran quietly pulled hi
pipe and silence reigned.-Harper' Rount
Table.
Baron Rothschild was once caught in
predicament that many people experience
daily, and that is getting into a convey
ance of some kind, and then not favin'
! the money to pay the fare.
I The driver of the omnibus into which
Rothschild entered demanded his fare, an,
the baron, feeling in his pockets, discov
cred that he had no change. The drive
was very angry What did you get il
for if you had no money!"
az am Baron Rothchild," exclaimed TIL
| great capitalist, land there is my card
The driver scornfully tossed the car
away. Never heard of you before sal
he. "and don't want to hear of you again
What / want is your fare"
The banker was in great haste. "Lool
here. I've an order for million" h
said; give me the change" And h
proffered a coupon for that amount.
The driver stared and the passenger
| laughed. Fortunately a friend of tn
! baron entered the omnibus at the momen
and taking in the situation, inmediatel
paid the fare. The driver, realizing hi
mistake, and feeling .remorseful, said t
| the baron:
aIf you want ten francs sir. dom
mind lending them to you on my own &C
count "-Harper's Round Table.
