Children Do Lie.

Do children lie? Yes; constantly,
persistently and universally, says the
Kindergarten Magazine. A child does
not tell the truth because he could not.
He does not know the truth, and his
approximation to the truth Is very
much wagner than ours. And there are
certain qualities Of his mind which
make it inevitable that he should per-
vert the truth. In the first place, truth
IS synonymous with knowledge. lie
does not know what truth IS. In the
second place land it is the same with
us), children gradually approximate
the truth. They have their ideas Of
truth. In the third place, the childs
Imagination drives him often to tell
what Is not true.

That Had Never Occurred to Him.


When Lafayette visited Loudoun
county he was entertained with the
other eminent guests by President
Monroe at Oak Hill. LeeSburg, too,
the historic town nine miles from Mon,
roes country seat, accorded him hon
ors on that occasion, and at a dinner
at that town John Quincy Adams de-
liyered a famous toast to the surviving
patriots Of the Revolution, who, he
said, were like the Sibylline leaves
the fewer they became the more pre-
cious they were.
On the return to Oak Hill another OF
Monroc's guests said to Mr.. Adams:
Excuse the impertinence, but would
you not tell me what inspired the beau
tiful sentiment of your toast today:
Why" replied Mr.. Adams, 1T was
suggested this morning by the picture
of the sibyl that hangs in the hall OF
the Oak Hill mansion"
How strange" remarked the less
brilliant guest, Il have looked at that
picture many times during the past
years and that thought never occurred
to me."-Leslie's Monthly.

Throwing Rice at Weddings.

Like roast pig, the origin Of throwing
rice at weddings is Chinese, and the
legend is scarcely less worthy OF
Charles Lamb: "a famous sorcerer
named Chao became jealous Of the
power of another sorcerer, woman,
and, conceiving a plan to destroy her,
he persuaded her parents to bestow her
upon his supposed son. The crafty
Chao chose the most unlucky day for
the wedding, the day when the Golden
Pheasant was in the ascendant, so that
when the bride entered the red chair
the spirit bird would destroy her with
his powerful beak. But Peachblossom
gave directions to have rice thrown out
at the door, and she passed out un-
harmed while the spirit bird was de-
vouring It,"

A RULING AGAINST WELTMER
The Missouri HeaIer's Case Dis
missed in Washington.
United States Supreme Court Declared
1t Had no Jurisdiction in the Ne.
vada, Mo-, Mans Suit With
a Minister.

Washington, Dec. 21.-The United
States supreme court dismissed for
want of Jurisdiction the case OF S. A.
Weltmer and j. II. Kelly vs. c. N.
Bishop, to day. The case grew out
OF the publication by Bishop of an
article which Weltmer and Kelley al
legged to be hbclous.
They are magnetic healers with
headquarters at Nevada, Mo, and
at one time had an income of 81 900
per day. Bishop made a printed at
tack on their business. The supreme
court OF Missouri refused to find the
article libtlous on the ground that
Weltmer and Kelly had failed to
show that their business was entitled
to the protection OF the law. To
days opinion has the effect Of affirm
ing that decision.
The article complained of was
written by the Rev. Mr.. Bishop of
Nevada, in 1900. and was printed in
the Christian Advocate of st. Louis.
1t was an attack on the methods OF
the healers, The Bates county cir.
cult court awarded Weltmcr, who
sued for $4,000, a Judgment of
$3.50. The Missouri supreme court
reversed this finding. To.day's deci
sion probably will end the case.
The story Of Weltmer and his
American School Of Magnetic Heal
ing" is strange one. Before the
United States stepped in and practi-
cally destroyed large part of their
business, Weltmer and Kelly operat.
ed one Of the most successful "get
ch.quick" schemes that was ever
attempted. 1t increased the volume
OF business at tie postotiice in Ne
vlda to such an extent that it jump
ed from the fourth class to a first
class office. Weltmer is repo, ted to
have made as much as y million dol.
lars a year. The stream of money
that flowed into his Golfer. can be
gauged by the fact that during three
weeks that the government held up
his mail while his case was being in,
vestigated, $4,000 in registered
letters, money orders and postal
notes addressed to Weltmer, accu-
mulated.
