Told In English schools.

From an English paper is gathered a
bunch of schoolroom stories, some OF
which are so good as to have their gen
uineness doubted, as, for example, the
definition of a lie: IAN abomination
in the sight of the Lord, but a very
present help in time of trouble
To be received with equal skepticism
is perhaps the boys answer to the ques-
ton why David preferred to be a door
keeper in the house Of the Lord "Be-
cause If he was a doorkeeper he could
walk outside while the sermon was be
ing preached" More natural, however
is what a child said of Elijah: "As
Elijah went up to heaven he dropped
his mantle and Queen Elizabeth walk
ed over It"
1t need hardly be explained that II
was an Irish boy who gave the text
'He that humbleth himself shall be ex.
allied and he that exalteth himself shall
be baste." 1t was a small boy of S
who, asked why Moses took or his
shoes in the presence of the burning
bush, gave the novel explanation
please, sir, to warm 'ees feet"

There are many others. Captain
dAttel, who claimed to have heard
Dreyfus avow his guilt to Lebrun- Rem
au1t the day of his degradation, was
found dead in a railway train, his
corpse blue and already on the way to
decomposition. though his journey had
lasted but an hour. This pretended
confession, which Dreyfus never made,
D'Attel confided to his friend, Chaulin-
Serviniere, a member Of the Chamber
of Deputies; now the Deputy took train
one day to visit his home an hour later
he was found dead" on the railway
tracks between two stations. And
Rocher, of the prison guards, who also
claimed to have heard Dreyfus say: 81

died. and to this day no one knows
where or how. 1t was as though Eter-
nal Truth had reached down and slain
this lie wherever it lifted it's evil head.
