DECADENCE OF LYING.

Chicago Tribune; The magazines. llea
have given us articles on the
decadence of every thing in nature
and artr-with the exception Of
lying =. !
1t used to be that lying was a fine
art. The man who could lie judi
ciously and properly was entitled to
a high seat at the feast and the
encemiums of his fellowmen.
In the good old times it was re-.
cognized that to lie required act and
discretion, to say nothing of con-
siderable intelligence and sturdy
memory. The man who could
start out with one interesting lie,
and then continue through a
sequence of lies, each Of which sup
ported and lent verisimilitude to
the introductory lie, was given
the credit he deserved.
But today, how has the lie fallen;
how has the fb faded. -
Where do we get our lies9 The
butcher boy tells us he forgot to
bring the roast; the grocer boy
answers he had to wait until the
farmer brought the fresh eggs; the
paperhanger comes around two days
after he was to begin work and puts
up weak fabrication concerning :,
illness; the iceman tells us dimsy
things about meltage and leakage;
the milkman gives us blowhole state
ments about pasteurization and .
pastureizing; the Office boy continues
to lose grandmothers during the
baseball season; the cook tries to
make us believe we eat all the
so it goes. y.
How paltry; how cheap; how Z
articfiial the lies are nowadays:
Lying ls no longer fine art. 1t .
has become a trade. -"
Is it any wonder the people even
show a lack of interest in the
truth2 2
Formerly it had the charm of con-
trast.

SEAB0aRD SHOPS DESTROYED.
A $4,000 Fire at Portsmouth-Flre
Originated in a Lumber House.

|. Norfolk, Special.-The Seaboard Air
Line Railroad shops, minor offices and
warehouse on the outskirts OF Ports
mouth were practically destroyed by
fire which broke out Friday night. At
a late hour the blaze had not spent it
self. but the destruction Of nearly cv-
cry building and car at the yards was
about complete. AS near as can be
estimated at this time. the monetary
less will foot up to $4,000. James
Ha.rel. a machinist who sought to save
his tools. was so badly burned that he
may die. No one else was seriously
hurt so far as can be learned.
Firemcn from Portsmouth, Norfolk
and Berkeley got hose into position,
but the heat of the flames drove them
back before they could approach
within fighting distance Of the flames.
A binding cloud Cf dust. sand and gilt
drove hundreds of men. m and
children in every direction in quest Of
shelter. For nearly 10 minutes the
wind blew at the rate Of at least %
miles an hour. Several children were
hurled from their feet and sent rolling
across the thoroughfare. Presently 4
refreshing shower made its appearance
and soon cleared up the air.
In scmc unaccountable way the fire
broke out about 1918 o'clock in 4
building situated in tie southern part
of the yards. In this wooden strnc-
ture was stored g large quantity Of
dried lumber. Within a few minutes
the entire building was in flames. The
wood repairing material burned like
hay. In half and hour the building fell
in. The adjoining building was a stor-
age house for many tens of stationary,

beard in this section.

New Orleans, Special.-Wednesdays
session Of the Confederate reunion
closed with a prayer. The first words
of the petition for divine guidance and
blessing were spoken by the chaplain,
while the echoes of taps" the nest
sad and withal the most beautiful OF
all bugIc calls, were yet %quiyerinS in
the air. For this was the day, a portion
OF which had been set apart Tor serVi-
ces in honor of the hero dead of the
Confederate cause, for the gloriication
Of their deeds, for the hallowing OF
their memories, for the sanctificatlcn
CT the cause for which they lived and
died. The tribute was most amply rem
dered. 1t was offered in the burning
words Of the orator and the plaudits OF
his hearers, as they saw again through
him the martial proves Of their broth
ers. who have Joined the eternal mus
ter. 1t was rendered in the sobs CT
beautiful women, and in the self-con-
tanned grief Of stalwart men, when it
was borne home to them once more
that the comrades they so deeply low
ed, the leaders SO highly honored could
be nothing to them but a priceless
memory. The memorial services were
opened promptly at II o'clock by Gen.
Gordon, who said:
And now, my comrades, the ap-
pointed time has come for the services
in honor Of our immortal dead-and
for the opening of these exercises be-
lieve, we should give thanks to AL
mighty God for the lives they lived
and ask His Denediction for them and
US for the time to come. / am going
to ask General Young, Of Kentucky,
to lead us in prayer"
General Young delivered an elo-
quent invocation, and was followed by
General ]. A. Chalaron, who read a
eulogy on the late adjutant general OF
the United Confederate Veterans,
George Norman, Of New Orleans.
General Cabell followed in a brief ad-
dress, in which he paid a warm trib-
ute to the late adjutart general. The
resolutions were adopted by a silent
rising vote.
General Gordon then introduced Rev.
j. ]. Finley, Of Baskerville, Va, who
delivered the annual memorial sermon.
1t was a strong address, fervid in its
patriotism, replete with loving words,
for the dead and bright promises Of
hope for the South that is and the
South that is yet to be. 1t moved his
hearers to frequent applause and sew
eral times brought many Of them to
tears. THE Vacant Chair" was played
softly by the band and then taps"
was blown. A short prayer by Chap
lain General Jones brought the me-
mortal exercises to a close, and an adj
journment was then taken until Thurs
day morning at 9 o'clock.
