BEING HONEST.
The founs Man Who Lacked E.sen-
tiaI Integrity of Characteristic
Needed watchinE.

Papa, please give me my money"
said little fellow as he stood, cap
in hand. sadly for Sunday school.
The fasner drew handful of coins
from his pocket, and. selecting, one,
handed it to the boy.
why, papa?" he exclaimed in de-
light, did you mean it? It's a nick
sI"
YES" replied the father. with a
laugh. ''it's a punched one; but no.
bodyll know the difference in a col
lection"
The boy stood moment in thought
and then said slowly:
Don't it make any difference I'M
less folks know?'
"Of course not, you little goose"
answered { father; and the boy
went to Sunday school.
"A few days later the father said
with an air OF satisfaction:
1T didn't cost me anything TO come
up on the train tonight"
How was that?" asked his wife.
"Oh, the train was full, and before
the conductor got to me we came to a
station, and he went to see If anyone
got on, ard / slipped ahead into the
smoker. Nobody got on there 30 he
didn't come into the smoker again,
and 1 saved my ticlet-great scheme.
wasn't it?' and father and mother
laughed heartily; but a sober face
looked up and the boy asked:
Don't you have to pay unless the
conductor asks you?" and again the
father answered.:
of course not. you little goose"
Another day the father came home
and told with a chuckle how in pay
ing small account the man had by
accident handed him back the bill he
gave in addition to the change re-
quired. And our little inquisitor
asked:
Did YOU keep it, papa?"
And was answered by:
Sure, il isn't my business TO keep
accounts for other people; 1 look
out for Number One"
This father is a protesting Chris
tian, attends church regularly. and
would be amazed and indignant il
anyone should call him dishonest.
With training like this, is it any
wonder the child grew into young
manhood with an ingrained convic-
ton that n falsehood undetected was
not a sin? But the words of God
never fail, and "Be sure your sin will
find you out" proved true.
The boy. now a young man. finds
that friends and employers alike say:
He's n nice fellow. but he'll bear
watching; he doesn't see straight
without somebody's eye is on him"
Who is to blame2 Do you say: "He
is old enough 10 see for himself and
do rightP" True; but habits of de-
ceit weaken the win power as well as
darken the moral vision, and our
young man, though often mortified bv
detction. only losses his head and
says: What a fuss about a little
thing!" and the parents wonder why
their boy can't be trusted. Is it sur
prising that with training like this in
thousands of homes our young men
are so often spoken of as "schemers"
and slippery fellows?" Honesty is
the best policy" may be true enough,
but the sentiment is poor foundation
for character building. Absolute hon
esty is the only true principle.
BE honest with God and yourself,
and you cannot fail to be honest with
the world.-Emma Dietrich, in Chris
tian Work.

SATURDAY. DEC 1, 1900
ILLUMINATION.

IN his small cell there sat monk,
With book OF holy name,
And lit Its page with sweet designs
OF sacrificiai fame
NTH crosses showing here and there
And crowns of bleeding thorn;
With blossoms fair of Palestine
And glories of the morn. -
And as he toiled he chanted low
A hymn of Calvary t9S
Of Him who lived for fellow-men -
And died TO set them free:
And as he sung he thanked himself
That In his narrow cell.
Atar from strife. a sanity man.
Twas given him to dwell.
Re Rugged himself to think that he
So near the Master stood.
1he y ord before him brightly stood,
And that his life was good.
With naught to do from year to year
But pray away the hours,
Or TO irlumine holy writ
With glowing scrolls and flowers.
But once. when his cold cell was dark
And sleep refused Its balm.
Re heard a voice upbraid.ng him
That shook his former calm:
The world is wide. the paths beset:
My sheep are roaming far.
Why rest you here I'm idleness
And follow not Ny star?
rs there not work? Is there not SIM
Are there no human ills?
Is there not one OF all My flock
That's fainting I'm the hills?
Illumine thee with sympathy,
Illumine thee with love;
The Book is written: Il is done
Inurnined from above.
Think you the Master dwelleth heref
His steps are with the poor.
where sorrow weeps, where hunger
creeps
Where crime doth cast his lure.
Him whom you seek, there shall you find.
And not In this dim place;
And there alone can you atone
And meet Him face to face
The monk arose and fed afar:
He sought the haunts OF men;
The heart that so had drlfted OF
At last found Christ again.
And that old tome unfinished lea
To teach us who are blind.
He is the nearest 90 his God
That's nearest to ma nlxind. ..A.-

RIVAL OF THE RUBBER TRUST.
Factory Started by Employees Thrown
Cut Of work.

NEW BRUNSWICK. y. J.. Aug. 2S.-For
the purpose of fighting the Rubber Trust
a large rubber factory was opened at Mill
town yesterday. It Will be under the
management of John c. Evans, who for
many years was the superintendent of the
Meyer rubber factory which was absorbed
some years ago by the trust.
As soon as the factory was taken into
the trust it was shut down. This threw
nearly 1000 employees out of work. The
town suffered in consequence of this state
of affairs, and many OF the people were
Obliged to move elsewhere to get work
A company was organized about six
months ago by John C. Evans to fight the
trust and the new factory was erected
for that purpose. Many of the former en-
ployes of the trust are among the stock
holders and will be employed in the fac
tory. There are also lot OF the business
men of the town interested in the con-
cern. The factory has $50 hands at
work, and his number will be increased
in the near future
