they would have 20 transfer and carry

To do that, going TO one ward room each

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. n the
amenities of life were not preserved
through the gentle art of lying, society
could scarcely continue as a happy
family; we should all have to i've In
separate cages. The best of US will
tell direct lies on trivialities where
politeness is imperative. Wherever
practicable. however, the spirit of ad.
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

The state of Wisconsin a meeting OF
practicing veterinarians is to be held
Friday to draft resolutions of protest
TO Governor Davidson against the al.

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
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

d. Roberts of GAINESVILLE and since
that time warfare has been waged
against him.
