 The Plausible TFe

We resent oalumny, hypocrisy and treaehery because they harm us, not be. cause they are untrue Take the detrac. tion and the mischief from the untruth. and we are little offended by it. Turn it into praise, and we may be pleased withit. And yet it is nos caIumny and traaohery that do the largest sum of mischief in the world. They are contin. aalig crushed and are felt only in being eop4uered. But ie is the glistening and softly spoken lie, the amiable fallacy the patriotic lie of the historian, the pfoYldent lie of the politician, the zeal ous lie of the partisan, the merciful lie ot the friend and tho 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 one who dug q well in a desert. Happy that the thirst for truth remains with LIS, even when we have willfully left the fountains of it.-John Ruskin.

 A SnowbalI.

Teddy never meant to do it, but when Tom threw Il snowball what could he do but squeeze up another and toss it back? And how could ke know that naughty ball would hop right over Tom $ head and go smash right into the window of Miss Priscilla Prim s millinery shop But there was the bro. ken pane and the glass scattered all over the ladies' bonnets.
 Tom dodged around one corner and Teddy around the other. When Miss Priscilla looked out, the street was as empty and still as if there was not one little boy in town.
 T got off pretty we'll !" thought Ted. dy 'If she caught me, she'd make me pay my whole ST cents.
 Nobody but Teddy knew how many errands he had run and how many paths he had swept and how much candy and popcorn and butter scotch he had not eaten to get together that 87 cents. Aa soon as he conld earn just 13 cents more they were all to go for the little steam engine in the toyshop window.
 Just five minutes later Teddy stepped into Miss Priscilla s shop with his little red savings bank in his hand. He emp. tied it on the counter, and out came rolling such 6 swarm of dimes and nick els and penniesl Miss Priscilla was go surprised that her eyebrows went right mp to her little gray eurls.
 Say, fired that snowball," said Teddy brayely. "So ought to pay for it, course, you know.
 Well. you are an honest boy!p said Miss Priscilla. But you are dreadful careless J
 Teddy went past the toyshop window on his way home, and he could not help just looking at the little engine. But he was not sorry for being honest. not s bit. Youths Companion.

A Potato That Lifted 8 Ton.

Charles ". Simmons, who lives o 8 farm near Pleasant Home, brought in from his farm a curiosity. He discoy- cred 1t while digging potatoes. It con. sists of Late Rose potato grown in the root of tree. The potato vine seems to have erept into the root, and tse new potato then started down in the depths It fiourishea i'll its strange surroundings and developed into large and well formed potato. The room in the root was too small for it's expansion, and so the spud exerted not loss than ton pressure oa tha root until the side wat split open. Tho root is about inches in diameter and 6 inches in length About an inch of the spud protrudes from ono end. It is qnita curiosity. and ail who have seen it say they neyee saw anything like 1t before. Portland 0re2ohla-s.
