And when the inspectors left | dad and began to search a fat woman. he took me to one side and said: You show the poorest judgment in telling the truth of any boy I ever met. Don't you remember the verse In the Bible which says: The truth should not be spoken at all times."' and then he was going to give me a swift kick. when I told him to be careful or the diamond l ring he had in the toe of his shoe would cut a hole in the leather. and be lost, and he let up on kicking me, and final | ly we got off the boat and went to a hotel, and dad lectured me on the sub l ject of common sense.

 We'll, sir, you'd realize the changes
 that have taken place in our beloved country since we left. almost a year ago. We have been reading the back numbers of the newspapers to find out what has happened since we left, cause you never hear anything in Europe
 about what happens In America, unless
 a president is assassinated or an Indian goes on the war path in Mexico. That
 is all they think of in Europe, that we Indians, that are confined on our
 reservations and not allowed to carry
 arms, and that it is no crime for Eng lishmen to come over here and scalp us.
 What do you think of this" said dad, as he read an account of Mrs. Chadwick forging the name of Andrew Carnegie to notes for $5,000, ,000, and getting fee- ble-minded bankers to lend her money on the notes, unsight, unseen.

"Oh, I was thinking of poor Andrew Carnegie; the dear old case of Scotch whisky and Quaker oats," said dad, as he wiped his eyes and read more about the Chadwick case. Here, this woman charges that Carnegie was her father, and gave up the notes to square himself with his accidental daughter. so she wouldn't squeal on him, and queer him with the library beggars, who might refuse to take his tainted money"
 Tt Is too bad about Andrew" says l to dad. but don't you remember what a wink he had to his left eye, that time we saw him, even in his old age?"
 Well, that woman is no gentleman, or she never would have told on An drew" said dad and he dried his eyes and looked at another paper, and told he to hush, and he kept on reading. and finally he said:
 Well. if that wouldn't skin you" and he put his hand to his head, and sighed as though his heart would break.
 What is 1t. dad; out with 1t, cause we might as well know the worst Has Chauncey Depew attended another ban quet, and told that old chestnut about-
 "Oh, Hennery, 1t is worse than that, if possible" said dad. "Lookahere, a church orgfanization has refused to
