How to Kill a Lie.

ITS pretty hard to know how TO
treat lie when it's about yourself.
You can't go out of your way to deny
1t, because that puts you on the de.
fensive: and sending the truth after a
lie that's got the running start is like
trying to round up herd of stamped
ed steers while the scare is on them.
Lies are great travellers, and welcome
visitors in good many homes, and
no questions asked. Truth travels
slowly, has no one to prove its identity
and then lot of people hesitate to
turn out an agreeable visitor to make
room for it. About the only way |
Know to kill lie is live the truth.
When your credit is attacked. don't
bother to deny the rumors, but dis,
count your bills. When you are at
tackled unjustly, avoid tie appearance
OF evil; but also avoid the appearance
OF being too goOd-that is. better than
usual. Surmise and suspicion feed on
the unusual and when a man goes
about his business along the usual
rut they soon fade away for lack of
nourishment. y Saturday Evening

SOAP BUBBLE FOUNTAIN.
Pyramid of Living Diamonds a
 Worlds Falr.

St. Louis, Mo-, Oct. 15-(SpeciaD of the curious and beautiful sights In the Palace of Liberal Arts at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition is the illuminated bubble fountain. It Is a structure eight feetsquare and twenty-five feet in height, surmounted by statue of a fairy. Over the rim of the corolla at her feet there is continuous flow of connected soap bub- bles, at the rate of 17,600 per minute. These descend into a larger central bas- in and from this again into a third. As they are produced more rapidly than they can burst and disappear they form solid column or pyramid, seven feet thick and ten feet high, of twinlS1ing iri- descent spheres. Rows of electric lights above each basin illuminate the mass of bubbles from within so that they sparkle and glow like diamonds, and the whole effect seems strange and magical.
 Every working day of nine hours g. 50i,OO0 bubles each an inch and a half in diameter, flow from tho fountain, all pro- duced from one-thir6 of a bar of soap.

No. 3 at Woodward Will Soon Be Ready to Be Put Into Blast-Youne Negroes Tried for Grand
 Larceny.

Bessemer, October 15-1speciaL) 1.-The regular session of the mayor and alder men next Tuesday night promises to be full of interest. special committee from the board of education will make an apeal to the council for assistance in erecting a school library and in building an addition to the Clarendon school
 As the council did not meet at the time set for the last regular session. on ac- count of a lack of a quorum this session will probably be busy one. In addition to the monthly reports of the city off- eials, d large volume of business that has accumulated during the last month will have to be disposed of.
 The committee from the school board consisting of Dr. T. F. Robinson, Dr. E. P. Lacey l.. o. Sml,n and Prof. J. M. Dill, will presenl the request of the school board, asking the council to make the necessary appropriation to build another room to the Clarendon avenue school building. The committee will also ask the mayor and aldermen to pass an ap- proprlation to erect a library building and purchase the volumes to fill the H. brary.
 At the meeting of the board of eduea- ton last Tuesday night the reports of the superintendent of the public schools showed that the schools were so con gested that some steps would have to be taken looking toward relief The board decided to appoint the special committee to confer with the mayor and aldermen.

ney, J. R. Copeland. Greener and Stock mar constitute the street committee The mayor Is ex-officio chairman of all of the standing committees
 The property owners along Highland avenue are divided as to what class of material to be used in making the im- provements. Some favor creosoted wood- en blocks, others bituminous macadam and still others chert. The matter has been before the street committee for sev- eral months.
 At first 1t was proposed and in fact bids were asked for paving the avenue from Twentieth street to the eastern limits of the city. It is said now one or two members of the committee favor paving the thoroughfare for only four blocks. commencing at Twentieth street.
 Highland avenue is in bad condition in some parts and if the street committee fails to decide to close the contract for paving 1t will be repaired under the su- pervision of the street commissioner most likely.
