 It is singular to hear a minister of the gospel denouncing the proyerb, Honesty is the best policy" But Bishop Curtis. vicar general of the archdiocese of Baltimore, took occasion in his sermon the other day to expose what he calls it's fallacy. He begged his hearers not to expect success from a worldly standpoint simply by follow ing honest dealing. He claimed that the man who trusted to 1t for success was likely to be disappointed. He further held that 1t was best that il was so, else where is the virtue in being honest If worldly advantage Is its goal?" In a way the vicar is right Simple honesty of itself does not lead to success. A man must have breadth of intelligence. a grasp on affairs. a power to adapt means to ends. quick perception and an equal readiness to change as the situation changes if he would be successful. The merely hon. est man may sit in his office forever and gain nothing. while the intelligent fox next door seizes all tue business. Yet even the foxy individual pays his tribute to the advantages gained by honesty. He Is sure to assume the air of sincerity and fair dealing, knowing it has a market value. He would not willingly be thought dishonest, for he knows it would injure his chances of success. As for honesty per SC, he may not care a whit but he cannot afford to do without the appearance of it. The revelations that are made from time to time of corruptions in the busi- ness world, especially in those who have had marked success, leaves the impression that corruption and dishon- esty are the rule and straightforward business methods the exception. The fact is that cases of fraud are heralded far and wide, while the innumerable transactions conducted with honesty are not reported by the press. nor Is there occasion for bringing them into the courts. The substantial character of the business world. on the whole, is a testimony to the truth of the pro- Eerp. Eacn man suppoSes the other man to be honest in his dealings, be- cause honesty is the rule and deceit the exception. The grocer who misrepre- sents his goods soon proves himself failure. The dealer in worthless stocks and bonds sooner or later finds his business at an end. An enormous de- gree of honesty is requisite for busi- ness of any magnitude and In spite of all the things that tend to hinder legit- innate business it is the legitimate busi- ness after all that Is successful in the long run. Honesty Is the best policy.

"Shakspeare's Bible" was sold in London a few weeks ago for more than a thousand dollars. The book was printed in 1613. three years before shakspeare's death, and is copy of the King James Version. It contains two signatures. one William ShaS- speare," and the other "Willm Shak- speare," but who wrote them is a ques- ton which scholars are still debating It is interesting to remember that the great English version of the Bible was a contemporary of Hamlet" and Macbeth" Poetry and prose reached their highest development in the same decade.

Now and then one hears of lamen- tation that Americans are not the sturdy race they used to be. The homespun ways of the pioneers are entrusted with the silkeQ ways of their descendants and the conclusion is reached that the American of to- day is a creature of predigested foods and skim milk.
