Conscience is more a matter of di-

Integrity and honesty depend more
upon a satisfied stomach than upon
Sunday-schOol teaching. A man is
moral and honest just as long as he
has everything he wants apd his stom-

Collars, are to be depended upon to

are not so reasonable. Even pins will
not control their rowing disposition.
The constant movement of hands and

Turnover collars this year are very
much embroidered, and the favorites
seem to be those with the Mont Mel

the ''ciosed" sunday. All his declara-
ton, now that it has come is expressed
in terms SO sweeping and SO positive as
TO permit of but one construction
that there will be no alcoholic drinks
for the thirsty in Minneapolis on Sun
day.
This order will put OF business sew

have incidentally cause much annoy.
