ALL MEN ARE LIARS.
So Declares Mrs. Irving, a Chicago
: Business Woman.

'Or One Month.

With $1,000 IL lieu of lantern Mrs
Nancy B. Irving, a book publisF
has started ont to emulate DiOe !
IN his search for an honest man.
Mrs. Irving is not a pessimist who
thinks there are no honest men in the
world, according to the common ac-
ceptance of the term, but she believes
1t is an imPossibility to live strictly
honest business or professional life
under the present conditions of so.
ciety. To prove the point Mrs. Irving
offers to deposit 81, 1000 in a Chicago
bank, which will be paid to the first
business or professional man who can
conclusiVely prove that he has carried
on his work for a month without w.
ing. She is anxious to prove the
point because of a book she has il
view.
The conditions are simple. Mrs r.
wing will name two men, the man who
thinks he holds title to the 81 900
may name two, and a fifth will be
named by these four. They will act
as judges upon the business record
of the claimant, trusting him to tell
his own story and give all the evi-
dence.
Mrs. Irving thinks she will not lose
the $1,000. If she does she is quite
certain the honesty of the man who
gets it will have reduced him TO such
poverty that he will need it.
Mrs. Irving, with Emil Blum and
Sigmund Alexander, propose to put
forth their ideas anent the general
tendency of the modern man and
woman to follow in the footsteps of
Ananias. Every man, they hold, is
obliged to play the part of a respect

Pretty Jessie Fry Is Considered
Champion Rifle Shot.
A Native of Isyya, But for the Past Sin

Where She Has Made a Sue
cess of stock Raising.

Miss Jessie NJ. Fry, the acknowl-
edged champion rife shot of Idaho,
is now en- route to the east, to obtain
information for magazine article she
is writing.
With rifle in hand, a sombrero
perched carelessly upon a wealth of
tawny hair, and possessing a muscu-
lar form, Miss Fry presents a striking
appearance anywhere, says the Phila-
delphia Press.
Her very personality suggests =
spirit of the west; frank, Open-heart-
ed, unconventional, with an aversion
for all shams, she is a natural product
of outdoor life. mountain climbing,
trapping and ''roughing it,"
Gifted with a ready tongue, she at
once Inspires the listener with her
thrilling stories of outdoor life in
Idaho. All this, together with her
unassuming manner, makes her pres
enee as refreshing as a summer
shower.
Miss Fry was born in Knoxville,
Marion county, Ia, and in 1895 moved
to Boise City, Idaho, with her parents.
After spending a year at the "homt
ranch" as she styles it, she secured a
position as teacher in the public
schools in Boise City.
She afterward taught al Meridian,
Union, Council, Payette Lake and Sal
mon Meadows. She had been engaged
TO teach this year at Bourne, but re-
signed the position to accept an offer
made her by newspaper syndicate.
She anticipates taking a trip TO South
America in the near future.
Miss Fry learned to handle a Win
chester rife when but Is years of age.
She has hunted deer, antelope, wolves,
squirrels, rabbits and grouse, and has
participated in a number of tourna-
ments, matched against some of the
crack shots of Idaho.

cause to live at the present time I am
obliged to take advantage of society
as it exists. l hope for other condi-
tions of society. That is why l pub
lish this book"
The plot they have in mind is this:
Eight men who were former college
chums are assembled at an anniyer-
gary dinner when the story begins. A
ninth member of the brotherhood
suddenly enters the room. He has
been abroad for many years and was
not expected. His eight friends were
IN the act of drinking his health, and
one of the speakers had toasted him
IN these words:
THE Joseph of sons and brothers,
the Castor of friends, the Bayard of
purity, and the St. George Of the
oppressed"
Lies, all lies" is his dramatic ex-
clamation.
A discussion is started, and it re-
suits in a wager of the eight men
with the ninth, whose name is Rust.
Rust agrees to forfeit $1,000 to any
one of the other men who can live his
professional and social life for one
week without lying. The eight men
represent various professions and Oc-
equations, and the story follows them
through their endesvOrs to be per
fectly honest on all occasions.
There are plenty of opportunities
for humorous situations in the course
of the narrative. One Of the men. q
university professor, goes before a
woman's club with the determination
to see what effect a plain, unvar-
nished statement of the truth will
have. The result is so disastrous that
he does not recover in time to resume
the race.
The editor was in the worst way of
all of them. He attempted to print
nothing but the truth in his paper.
The subscription list began to fall so
rapidly and the advertisers were so
offended that he relinquihed all claim
to the 81 200 and accepted society as
he found it. The others had their va
rious experiences, humorous and
tragic.
THE first impression conservative
people get when they hear about this
book" said Mrs. Irving, 'is that it
NAV be a radical attack on dishonest
business men. It is nothing of the
sort.
"I believe the social conditions
which make it necessary for busi-
ness OF professional man as well as a
large majority Of other men to lie
can be remedied. do not hope for a
revolution. But do believe that
who Lies?' will suggest many strik-
ing thoughts to people which viii
work toward a regeneration Of social
conditions.
! -For one thing, the fact we are ali
more or less liars and thieves under
present conditions. when we become
conscious of it, gives US a different
opipisn oE our less fortunate fellow

could not bring down with a rife or

When Miss Fry went to Idaho in
1895, she bought a ranch in Payette
valley, stocked it with horses and en-
ployed a competent foreman to look
after her interests.
She is a splendid hersewOman, and

ckos which the nerviest cowboys OF
Idaho did not care to undertake 10
