He Was Startled.

An amusing story is told of a misery
old gentleman who visited his relatives
unlimited. One morning his little niece
of five summers came up to him unex-
pectedly with the indignant question:
Uncle, are you a cannibalT
The gentleman was startled, and
said:
mo, Of course not, my dear child;
but what on earth makes you askT
The little girl replied:
"Oh, thought you must be, because
mamma was saying this morning, just
as you came in, that you always lived

Winter vegetables should be fully

In this glorious and liberty loving
land, where the opportunities are I'M
limited, where education Is general
and intelligence the rule, why is it
that men who are trusted are dis
honest? 1t Is a fair question. No
one forgets the millions who are toll
Ing honestly, who would wish their
hands to wither before they touched
a dishonest dollar. But there are so
many bandits in high places! st.
Louis has been in the hands Of bood-
lers. Chicago, Philadelphia, Grand
Rapids, New York and a dozen more
have the same story to tell. Men
have held up their right hands and
sworn to deal justly in all things.
They have taken oaths before the
very people they have plundered.
They have cast a reflection against
official integrity in this country that
1T will take years to wipe out. And
they were trusted! That hurts more
than anything else. You expect the
thug to be dishonest. The burglar Is
a criminal, and no n believes that
he will be anything else. You bar
your doors and guard your vaults. For
him you keep the gun and the dog.
He Is the enemy Of society, and plans
can be made to defeat his enterprise
and punish his wrongdoing. But how
can you guard against the man who
looks honest, who has been honest,
who Is selected from among his fell
lows for honor, who makes every
promise that the law and the public
could ask to demand, and who steals
from his friends-the people-because
he has the opportunity? Do you won
der that there are men who insist that
every man has his price?" Do you
wonder that the simple integrity that
once surrounded men no longer con-
vinces? The robbers in high places
nave done more than pilfer a few
thousands of the public treasures.
They have shaken confidence in nat
ural integrity-the honesty that ex-
lists for honesty's saks. The remedy ?
Who shall name 1t? Punish crooks
Whenever and wherever possible, but
the most will be done with the young
er generation. America will have
to defeat scandals and boodlers in the
homes. Preach honesty to the boys.
Keep at 1t. Never lose an opportu-
nifty to make clear the necessity of
moral cleanliness. Make the rising
generation hate a thief as they would
Il poisonous snake. Set an example.
Cut deceit out of your own life. Breed
n race of men who will be honest
because they want to be honest. Can
the story of future generations be
made cleaner than is the record of
to-day in any other way?

Why should a small, lean man a as
much to ride on a railway a as the
bulky individual of large girth and
weight? The man of much adipose
not only takes up more room but it
certainly costs more in coal Or cleo
trio energy to haul. him. Then why
not make him pay by the pound, same
as other live stock? These questions
have been asked since the beginning
of railway development. The unfair
ness of making the lean man pay as
much as the fat man is readily con-
coded, but railway managers have
been slow in evincing a willingness
to correct the inequality. But at
last we have a railway president who
is willing to put his beliefs into
practice and to set the pace for the
timorous ones who adhere to the old
practice of hauling sheep and cattle
and coal by the pound and human be-
ings by the piece. The president Of
