TRUTH FOR ONE WEEK.
Fact that Seem to Justify the Belief that 1t
Must Not Always Be Told.

Fact that Seem to Justify the Belief that II
Must Not Always Be Told.
A Missouri editor announced that
for one issue he would tell the truth.
Here are few items from that issue:
"John Bomin, the LATEST merchant
in town, made a trip to Bellview yes
terday. John Doyle, our groceryman,
is doing poor business. His store is
dirty. dusty and noxiously odoriferous.
How can he expect to do much?
Rev. Styx preached Sunday night on
charity. The sermon was punk. II
the reverend gentleman would live up
a little closer to what he breaches he
would have bigger congregations. D..
Sonkey died last Saturday at his home
at this place. The doctor gave it out
as heart failure. The fact is he was

as an up-to-date loafer. He has been

lations to offer, for we don't believe
any good can come from such a
union"
The issue in which the editor told
the truth was the last he ever made.
Now. in the spring time. when the
dew like diamonds sparkles in the
tender grass, when sweet-throated birds
make a melody all the day, subscribers
to this paper while it was published,
drive out into the country short way
to catch glimpse OF piece OF black
skin which hangs suspended from a
barbed wire fence. 1t is all that re-
mains of the once manly form of the
Missouri editor who "told the truth
for one week."

How to Arrange Flowers.

Here are five golden rules that
should be observed by those who often
arrange flowers:
Use plenty OF foliage.
Put your flowers and foliage iu
very lightly.
Use artistic glasses.
Do not use more than two or three
kinds OF flowers in one decoration.
Arrange your colors to form a bold
contrast or, better still, a soft har.
mony.
The aim OF the decorate should bt
to show off the flowers, not the vases
that contain them; therefore the
simpler ones are preferable to even the
most elaborate. Glasses for the din
ner table should be either white or &
delicate shade OF green.

How Elephants Get Their Sleep
