The Cheerful Liar
Ably Defended,
+%*|

The pedigree or the Cneerlul Liar
has never been published for some
reason or other. Probably his sup
posed family connection with the
Prince of Liars, genealogical tinker,
thought they might get their fingers
scorched. The Cheerful Liar is not
connected with the Prince of Liars
at least not closely; the bonds of
royalty do not extend to Cheerful
but he is content in the position
which lie occpies and that he can
use his name with honor.
The Cheerful Liar is ''homo
necessitatus," or in other words a
necessary evil. He goes not forth
seeking whom he may devour but
he quite frequently gets down in
the mud in order to let fallen hum
anity step on him to rise to higher
things. His station in life is humble
but occasionally he rises to accom-
plish great things.
1t is the Cheerful Liar that starts
all these Presidential booms.
Chauncey Depew, Richard Olney,
Senators Mark Hanna and" Billy"
Mason have the Cheerful Liar to
thank for connecting their names
with high honor.
This and thousands Of other
harmless things has he done, is do
inc and v i'll continue to do to keep
this old world on the laugh as well
as guessing what will happen next.
His province is the newspaper and
he is all Powerful whom he gets in
his work. AS fake dispenser the
yheeful Liar is an artist than whom
here is none better. Three cheers
or the hero who can tell lie and
make it do more good than the
ruth! May his tribe increase.
The weather also furnishes a

Price Demanded.
a handsome bachelor Of Baltimore.
well known In social and educational
circles, acknowledges the truth Of the
following story: He was driving with
very pretty and attractive young wo-
man when on the outskirts of the city
they met lad Of about twelve years
leading by n chain Il singularly ugly
but finely bred bull terrier. The pretty
girl went into raptures over the dog,
and her escort determined the animal
should be hers.
"Say, sonny" he called, what will
you take for your dog?"
"Nawthing," replied the lad.
Nonsense" cried Mr.. Blank, Here's
S. for him."
"No. won't. This here dog ain't for
SALE"
"Ten," said Mr.. Blank, and then,
growing desperate, Fifteen, twenty"
But the owner still refused.
All the time the conversation was 60
ing on the youth, although talking to
the man in the buggy, kept his eyes
fixed on the other occupant of the vehi-
Gle, and at last he said grayely:
IL don't want yer money, but IL you'll
just give that lady there a kiss you
may have the dog"
Mr.. Blank was specchless. He stared
at the boy an instant and then put the
whip to his horse, starting him off ut a
run.
The story goes that n mile was gone
over without word being spoken,
when as tie horses rapid gait became
slower as 1t turned down a country
lane the pretty girl turned ever so
slightly and said shyly, ooh, Mr..
Blank, why didn't you buy that dogr'-
