THE GENTLE Art OF LYING.

Very few of us, indeed, are exempt
from the charge of direct lying. Not
to mention the strategic lies told to
enemies in time of war, to criminals,
to sick persons and lunatics, as to
which pages upon pages of casuistry
appear in the older works on moral
science, there are what may be termed
the lies lubricant, wrung from us by
etiquette and good breeding. If the
amenities of life were not preserved
through the gentle art of lying, society
could scarcely continue as happy
family; we should all have to live il
separate cages The best of us will
tell direct lies on trivialities where
politeness is imperative. Wherever
practicable, however, the spirit of adj
vocacy prevails. We say whatever
we can truthfully and tactfully pause
while the hearers self-love and mag
ination fill out generally agreeable
impression. Family relationships,
even more markedly than business or
social relations, exemplify the uni
versal attitude of advocacy. Mr..
Roundabout says: 60 to Browns
house and tell Mrs. Brown and the
young ladies what you think of him,
and see what a welcome you will
get. In like manner, let him come TO
your house and tell your good lady
his candid opinion of you, and see
how she will receive him" No one
save an unspeakable cad would speak
slightingly of a husband to his wife;
no one save an unspeakable cad would
tolerate sighting language in his
presence concerning his wife. Such
is the conventional law as to spouses,
parents, children, blood relations in
general, even intimate friends Will

INCOMES FROM PHOTOGRAPHS

AS the celebrity passed out Of the
studio, the photographer gave him a
check for 5000.
He's easy" said the man. He
ought to have copyrighted and ham
died his photo himself. He might
made $500 year out of it for life, pro
vided that he kept on writing books
as popular as The Swamp
YOU'D be amazed if you knew how
many public characters handle their
own photos. There's bishops, there's
statesmen, there's artists, there's la
Dor leaders, and, of course, there's the
lights of the stage.
These people got tired of seeing
their faces selling like hot cakes
everywhere, the photographer and the
getting all the profit, they themselves
put off with a beggarly hundred or Sc.
And so they took the matter in their
own hands, and today, when you buy
their pictures, the cent or two OF
profit goes into their pockets Instead
of the middleman's. And that profit
very frequently runs up to $500 Or
$500 a year"

go TELL 1T TO THE MARINES"
origin of the Expression is Traced
Back to King Charles II.

Army and Navy Journal.-The say
ing, Tell it to the marines is traced
to Pepys, the author of the famous
Diary" and it is said by him to
have originated with Charles II Of
England ut so befell," as the story
goes, that his light-hearted majesty,
with an exceedingly bored express
sion on his swarthy face, was stroll
ing in the shade with ingenious Mr..
Pepys, secretary to the admiralty.
I had speech yestere en- at Deptford,
said Mr.. Pepys, with the captain Of
the Defyance, who had but lately re-
turned from the Indies and who told
me the two most wonderful things
that ever l think l did hear in my
life Among the stories told were
of fish flying in the air. Fish flying
in the air. exclaimed his majesty.
'Ha! hal quaint conceit, which
'twere too good to spoil wi keeping!
What no! sir'-he turned and beck
oned the colonel, Sir William KILL
grew, of the newly raised maritime
regiment on foot, who was following
in close conversation with the duke
of York-'We would discourse with
you on matter toching your element.
What say you, colonel, to a man who
swears he hath seen fishes fly in the
ARP
"T should say, sire returned the
sea soldier simply, that the man
hath sailed in southern seas. For
when your majesty's bushes carried
me thither of late I did frequentil OBJ
serve more flying fish in one hour
than the hairs of my head in number
"Old Rowley glanced narrowly at
the colonels frank weatherbeaten
face. Then with a laugh he turned
to the secretary.
"'Mr.. Pepys,' said he, from the
very nature of their calling no class
of our subjects can have SO wide a
knowledge of seas and lands as the
officers AMI men of our loyal marine
regiment Henceforth ere we cast
doubts upon a tale that lacketh likeli-
hood we will first tell it to the
marines

MOVING BALLAD.

All, distinctly l remember, it was al
most done (September),
And the moving van was coming, COM
ing slowly to TIE fiat;
Vainly I had sought to borrow-every
friend expressed his sorrow,
Saying, We'll, perhaps tomorrow"
And the head beneath my hat
Wasn't swelled up much by that.
Then l heard a sound of smashing
heard a sound of dishes crashing.
Through the halls large men were
dashing with my tables and my
chairs.
And the china, never stopping, kept
on dropping, dropping, dropping,
And my almost-bought piano slid the
bases down the stairs.
Fiercely toward the mover turning,
every nerve within me burning,
mot one copper cent you're earn
ing was my mean, sarcastic
shot;
And the mover never w1ggled, but
most scornfully he gigggled,
Saying, You can talk till morning,
but you'll hand me, like as not,
Thirty dollars-on the spot"
All, distinctly / remember, 1t was al
most done (September),
And today my mission furniture is al
most done as well;
And my heart is slowly breaking, and
my nerves are weakly shaking.
Oh, this dreadful flat-forsaking;
what a sure thing game of shell;
What a tiresome tale to tell.

AFTER SCALP OF VETERINARY.
State Society in Effort to Depose
Roberts.


Roberts.
Milwaukee, Nov. Pursuant to q
call of committee appointed by the
Society of Veterinary graduates Of
the state of Wisconsin meeting OF
practicing veterinarians is to be held
Friday to draft resolutions of protest
to Governor Davidson against the ap-
pointment of DIR. David Roberts of
Waukesha as state veterinarian. A
circular letter has been sent out by
the committee to members of the pro-
fession in various parts of the state,
which contains grave allegations
against Dr. Roberts. One Of the
chief objections made to his appoint
ment is that he is a member of a
company manufacturing patent medi-
cines, an objectionable offense in the
eyes of the profession.
DR.. Roberts was appointed state vet
erinarian about two months ago, aft
er the death of his brother, DR.. Evan
d. Roberts of GAINESVILLE, and since
that time warfare has been waged
against him.

Green Bay manufacturers are en-

an advance is imminent. On the
other hand it is understood that there
is a chance for a probable reduction

SOME BODIES SWEPT
AWAY WITH THE TIDE
Will Never Be Recovered; Victims
of Thorouqhfare Wreck Believed
to Number 20.

10 Nhiu0Ci fOs
Atlantic City. N j., Nov. 1.-The
third and last car of the Thorough
fare wreck was lifted from the water
yesterday. When placed on the mud
bank the car was in such a condition
that it actually fell apart of its own
weight. Chief of Police Maxwell and
squad of officers made diligent
search for any bodies that may have
been wedged in the car but found
none.
A mystery surrounds the non-ap-
pearance of several persons who were
known to have been on the train and
may indicate that their bodies are
either held fast in the thick mud OF
have floated down with the tide.
The local officials say the total
death list is GO. On the other hand
many who were early on the ground
and some of those rescued from the
train are inclihed to the belief that
several bodies were swept down by
the tide and never will be recovered.
1t is contended by some that the total
loss of life is about 20.

Sheridan, Wyo., Nov. IA skirm-
ish occurred yesterday between
band of renegade Utes and troop of
the 10th cavalry on Bitter Greek, &C
cording to word brought by special
courier.
The troops had captured so Ute
ponies. AS the troopers were driv-
ing away the ponies, 100 Utes, fully
armed. surrounded the cavalrymen
and ponies, stampeding the ponies
with revolver shots and war whOops.
The Indians recovered all their ponies
but five that were Killed by the troop
ers in efforts to stop the stampede
The Indians did not fire at the sol.
diers. The soldiers desisted from a.
tacking the Utes, as the reds great
ly outnumbered the troopers.
Indians Ready to Fight.
Troopers say that, as far as they
can ascertain from rumOrs and OBJ
servation. the Indians will fight with
little provOcation.
~
cavalry that left Sheridan Monday
night ran across a band of loo Grow
Indians under Chief Sweetmouth. The
troopers drove the Crows back to the
Crow agency. The Crows denied any
intention of joining the Utes.
Still another squad of the 10Th cav
airy fell in with a band of Cheyennes,
who, on the representation that they
were hunting, we're allowed to go.
Treacherous Indian Guides.
Settlers charge that Indian guides
employed by the federal troops are
acting treacherously and leading the
troops on false trails to keep the sol
diers from overtaking the Utes.
Some troopers of the 10th cavalry
marched all Tuesday night to capture
a small band of Utes reported to be
encamped on Bitter Creek, but found
no Indians at the designated place.
Trainmen report 100 Sioux Indians
SO miles northwest of Sheridan. The
Utes. it is said, make forced marches
northward by night, hiding from the
soldiers by day in the broken country
through which they are travelling
