Men and Women.

Men lie more about big matters;
women about trivial affairs. A man
may lie about his business schemes,
but he is incapable of buying a suit of
clothes at cheap place, taking off
the tag and sewing on the mark Of a
swell tailor; that's a woman's trick
A man may lie about politics there
have been instances-but never about
dab of powder on the end of his
nose.
Many men consider it perfectly
legitimate to lie to women. They
look upon women as mere puppets
created for their diversion. They do
not credit them with brains or hearts.
And so they lie to them-early and
often. They lie about everything, but
especially about their love.
It is the easiest thing in the world
for liar to say: II love YOU"
Wise is the woman who takes that
declaration not too seriously. For It
is from those three little words tha'
many shocking tragedies spJ

for 66 Consecutive Years,
Richard White Of Kentucky 10 the
Oldest clerk In the executive depart
ment in Washington, according to q
correspondent OF the Cleveland Plain
Dealer. With the exception Of post
master In New York state, who has
held his Office for "A consecutive years,
White is believed to be the oldest man
IN point Of service, as well as In years,
IN the federal employ, He was ap.
pointed in 1886. and therefore has
spent &c years in the service OF the
government. He was personal friend
OF Henry Clay, and the letter of Mr..
Clay to President Andrew jackson,
recommending the appointment OF
my dear friend, Richard White" is on
ME In the treasury department.
Mr.. White was born in 1914, and
thus has passed the Biblical term Of
human life by Is years. In addition,
to his record Of long continuous serv.
Ice. he holds another record that is
without parallel. Nearly every gov.
eminent clerk takes the full 30.day
annual leave Of absence authorized by
law, and the majority of them also
take advantage of the 30.day sick
leave in each year. In all his expert.
ence Mr.. White has never exceeded 10
days in his absence from the depart.
ment in any one year. Throughout his
remarkable career he has been EN-.
ployed In the Office where the accounts
OF the postofice department are au,
dited. He was appointed at salary
OF 500 q year. For brief time he
drew $1,000 year, but five years ago,
because Of growing feebleness, he was
reduced to $40.
Auditor Castle. in whose department
Mr.. White is employed, says the vet,
eran does his work to the satisfaction
OF his chiefs in spite of his great age.
While no civil pension list is main.
tanned by Uncle Sam, it is safe to say
that Richard White will be assured OF
remaining on the government pay roll
as long as he lives.

The truth lies round about US,

So open to our vision that

We know not what the glories

A, EUROPEAN PRACTICAL joke.
All Right In Theory, but Somewhat
DANGEROUS in Practice.


Dangerous In Practice.
Here is q practical joke which IL
now causing much amusement In
Europe. As you walk along q street
with some friend say to him; "You
see that man In front of us? Well,
Ill bet you S. that III knock his hat
over his ears"
Your friend will naturally accept
your wager. and all you have to do is
to step up behind the unsuspecting
man and hit his hat such blow with
your ist that it will come down over
his eyes. Ten to one he will begin
to fume and swear like q trooper, and
while he Is struggling to get his hat
back into its former position, you
must pull your own hat down over
your eyes, just as though someone
had subjected you to similar treat
ment.
AS result. when he turns around
to attack you, he will conclude that
you, too, have been insulted by some
one, and the next minute both Of you
will be looking in every direction for
the rufiian who has damaged your
hats and disturbed your temper.
Then you will condole with each
other for few minutes, after which
you will rejoin your friend and de-
mand the SIS you have won.
