This is a conventional missta tement
which is not meant to deceive anybody
and rarely does. 1t is a lit that does NOT
lie and there seems to be little harm in
it. -
Another of the conventional lies that
we have is the complimentary closing of
letters. We say yours truly when we
mean nothing of the sort If Admiral
Schley should write to Admiral Sampson
he would probably sign himself rYour
obedient servant but he would not mean
that. and Admiral Sampson would know
he did not mean it. These conventional
things mean about as much as the amen
at the end of a prayer. 1t means simply
that We are through.
How may one know when he has a
right to deceive? Do not deceive because
you wish to save your own bacon, nor
for any advantage of your own. Do not
form habit or inclination to deceive but
there are times when it is perfectly proper
to deceive to some extent when the object
of the deception is justifable. No selfish
object can be justifable."

Their nerves are warranted. They'll
murmur any amount of consolation and
go right along with their work, caring

their choice of autumn garb is a sue

Or go to the clouds. They'll take on
all sorts of shapes for your diversion

he'll stay by you and sit close until you
take a more roseate view of affairs in
this vale of tears. And then he'll show
his glee most Enthusiastically. How his
tail will fly!
Should none of these be within your
reach there's still one solace left. You

BLESSINGS OF LIFE.

The father of all wise men, Aristotle,
divides life's blessings into the three
classes-those of thu body, those of the
soul, and those that come to US from
the outside.
Teach your children to rely in life on
the pleasures of the soul, or, as Goethe
puts it, the pleasures of personality.
The pleasure that comes to you from
the outside world depends on the favor
and approval of those you cannot con-
troll.
The pleasures of the body depend upon
youth, on health, and are very easily
exhausted.
The pleasures of the soul are within
your own control; you can only lose them
through your own fault. Inside your
self you are master, and nothing can
touch you except your own foolish ambi-
TONS vanities and lack of self-reliance.
