"Not even a white lie?"
"Not even a white lie."
"Huh!' calculated the lad scornful-

"Why?" asked the teacher.
Because" replied the boy, III you
was my dads little boy an you'd heard
what he said about Aunt Eliza comm
to visit us with her children an Aunt
Eliza had asked you if you weren't all
glad to see her an you'd told the truth,
like did. you'd think there was q
place where, your trousers was mighty
thin after dad got through with YOU"
He went back to his desk. and as he
sat down with great care there was an
expression on his face that showed the
great lesson of truth had been, at least
in measure, lost on him. And in his
Indignation and innocence he did not
appreciate the humor associated with
the fact that his teacher did not belong
to that division of the human race that
wears rousers.-Chicago Post.

tons Of his fellow students by placing
over the door Of his room large
square of white cardboard on which
was inscribed in bold outlines the sin

and question, the young man applied
himself to his work. ever keeping in
mind the height to which lie wished to
climb, the first step toward which was
signified by the mysterious V.
-Four years later, after receiving the
compliments of professors and stu
dents on the way he had acquitted

young Maynard called the attention OF
his fellow graduates to the letter ovel

"AIy father, who was farmer, kept
sheep for 20 years lie was an old man
when he decided to give up the practice
an old man, but as full of sentiment
and feeling rs he had ever been.
shall never forget the day when the
purchaser Of the flock came to take
them away. My father stood in the
barnyard and watched till the last
sheep had passed through the great
gate into the road, waited till the last
faint bleating Of the flock had died
away in the distance; then he turned
10 me with a face full Of emotion"
There We're tears In the eyes of the
"class," and their girlish hearts were
touched by the pathetic word picture.
Somebody said "Ah" in long drawn
fashion. HE turned to me, my poor
old father" the artist continued. "and
said in a low, earnest voice, civilian,
I'd go five miles any day to kick Q
sheep!"-Leslies Weekly.
