the witnesses before judicial tribunals
tell the truth under oath, and that the
other half are conscious and deliberate

general statement, although they do
not place the number so high, and all
OF them say that this lack of veracity
is a comparatively recent weakness.

gentleman that he won the respect and
love of his students. Few gave their

The poor student had cause to thank
him fer his kindness. Some morning
toward the close of the year one would
rise to find a note on his breakfast
