be honest in the main, but if he has
bad quarter in his pocket he must itch
and ache for chance to pass it off on

He was hardly twenty years old when
the crowd grabbed him and hoisted
him up and began to yell Integrity
at him, and then his fun was gone.
Hundreds of opportunities must have
presented themselves for him to lie
and beat the game, but he had to
heave a, sigh and stand on his repu-
tation. AS a farmer, if he sold a
sheep pelt to a tin peddler he had
to point out the holes in it, The pub
lie worked off a bushel of old shill-
ingS en- him. but he had to bear the
loss. He could have set his SteelyardS

integrity he had to give full weight

thing. The merchant who sells you
half cotton with the wool rather ex-
poets to find a stone at the bottom

who has a horse with the poll-evil
looks for spavins on the beast you
exchange with him. We want the
truth and nothing but the truth about
the other Teller, but when it is about
ourselves we would rather have q
few pleasant lies.
We expect our nlilkman to use the
pump, our iceman to weigh it short,
and our butcher to work in all the
bones he can, and on the other hand
we expect to make even as best we
can.
Get integrity, but don't get too much
at once. Get just enough to make you
return a widows lost purse, but not

that it don't make any real difference |

Then the world got after Plato and
insisted he was man of integrity. He
tried to claw-off, but the world wouldn't
have it. He was put up on pedestal
forced to stop lying and pay his debts.
and there is no doubt in my mind that
the shock killed him.
Old Diogenes was having a happy
time of it until the world got after him.
He was too lazy to whittle a soft-pine
shingle with a sharp jaek-knife. His
wife took in sewing and washing to
support the family, and when the old
critter wasn't half seas over he was
lying about bears and fish or the state
of the thermometer. There wasn't a
man in his town who'd lend him a nick
ell or trade tobacco boxes with him
when his greatness suddenly came
He sneaked the family wash-tub out
of the woodshed and carried it to the
public square and sat down in 1T and
got off two or three things that people
took for philosophy, and 10. next day
he was famous. Everybody began to
yell about his philosophy and integrity
and if he enjoyed it for day or two,
he soon had cause to wish that ne had
never been heard Of
He had to go to work; he had to
clean up his front and back yard and
patch the roof of the house. He had
to get new clothes by hook or by
grocery, and there was no more lying
for him. He was hampered and hustled
a about until he even had to get his hair
cut and take a bath. He vert on liv
ing but he took no comfort, and when
death came at last he was as glad to
go as is a taxpayer in New York city.
You are a busy people in Gooseberry
Hill. having to pick your geese in May
and dodge mud holes all the rest of the
year, but you must have heard of
Pliny.
I'D to the age of 80 he was a peach.
You couldn't work a spawned horse off
on him, and you'd couldn't beat him at
any of the confidence games. He was
noted as the slickest liar for hundred
miles around, and he never pretended
to pay his creditors more than 20 cents
on the dollar. If there was anything
good going he got it without paying,
and if there was anything bad going
he worked it off on some one else.
He hadn't an honest hair in his head.
and he hadn't told the truth for year,
except by accident, when all of a sud
den the world decided that he repre-
sented integrity He had a long head
on him and could see what must fol-
low but it was useless to kick He had
to mount the platform and take his
dose, and from that hour life had no
more charms for him.

friends, as burlesquing a sterling char |

Over a Million.
MCPHERSON Stands Second in the
List.

The state board of equalization in
creased the assessed valuation of so of
the los counties in the state, as return
ed by the county clerks of those coun-
ties. Thirty counties had their valua-
tions lowered, while in 25 the assess
ments made by the local assessors and
returned by the county clerks were
left undisturbed.
With a half million dollars less taxes
to raise this year than last. it was not
necessary to make the assessments so
high Marshall county was the only
one that was raised more than a mil
lion dollars. The valuation hxed by the
state board is 81, us, 243 more than that
returned by the local assessors.
Mcpherson county gets the second
largest raise, $40, TAB. This is occasion
ed by the fact that the local assessors
scaled down the basis of assessment SO
that their total returns were far below
what they were last year.
Governor Baileys county, Nemaha,
came in for a, big raise again, 1856, 43S.
Greenwood was raised $727,775, Cowley
$713,1 Atchison sos, 1898, Douglas $627,-
757, and Usage 1878, sos.
Shawnee county comes in for the
largest reduction because of the fact
that property in this county is assessed
at half it's actual value, while in most
other counties it is assessed at four
fifth to a third of it's actual value.
Shawnee gets a reduction of $2,858, 800.
