How easy it is to put a false story

Gus and unreliable people.
Don't be influenced by pretty photo

graph even weeds look pretty?
1t makes no difference which side of
the street you take, you will find your
enemy also preferred that side.

SOULS
IF you think I went to Jail when 1
married you," said an Atchison man to
his wife, you are badly mistaken"
In England or Germany, if it is a
question which has a good time, the
husband or the wife, the prize falls to
the husband.
When a woman watches children
burn leaves in the fall, it Is with the
expectation of seeing one of them bur1
to death.
When there was no crisis, we heard
a great deal of Mrs. Potter Palmer,
and of how she distinguished her coun-
try abroad, etc. But now that we real
ly need her help, what is Mrs. Potter
Palmer doing for her country?
We tell this as q warning to the wo-
man who has q hankering to break no
housekeeping and go to boarding: Once
upon time there lived a woman who
was thoughtful of others, generous in
all her dealings, unselfish and kind.
She never measured or counted in lend
ing to her neighbors, or when they re-
turned what they had borrowed This,
however, was when she was keeping
house. She went to boarding, and, af-
ter boarding a few months, this is the
burden of her talk: "L pay as much as
Mrs. x, and this morning Mrs. x got
ten strawberries and got only nine.-..
Did you see those hot cakes they gave
Mrs. NJ. at breakfast? There were
three, and they never gave me more
than two IL had notion to remind
her (referring to the landIady) this
morning that 1 pay just as much as
Mrs. B. She gave Mrs. B. real cream,
and when the pitcher got to me there
was nothing but milk In tt always
reach for the celery dish as soon as 1
sit down, and pick out the tender
pieces. I pay my board and have a
Perfect Right to them" And so on,
and so on. Her entire disposition has
changed and all through becoming a
boarder.
The writer of this has son who will
probably never learn to smoke or use
tobacco, for at present he is witnessing
the struggles of his father in attempt
ing to reduce himself to three cigars a
day. We can only compare the strug-
gle to the operation of a blister plaster:
it is never out of mind for a moment
Even when smoking the mind is busy
in thinking of the dreadful time when
the cigar will give out. We tried today
to get little comfort from man who
had been sufferer since last August.
He said he craved tobacco as much
now as he did the first hour after he
resolved to stop. We have an idea that
had we been witness TO a struggle sim
liar to our own in boyhood: had our
father explained why boys should not
chew or smoke. instead of shaking a
switch under our nose with the obser-
walton that no boy of his could use to-
hacco undi~turbed. we would havo
avoided the distressing habit. We had
an idea that the head of our house was
selfshly enjoying a pleasure, and re-
fused to divide with his Sons, and the
result was that all of his sons now de-
YOUR tobacco in the most dissracefuI
fashion. The habit is very distress
ing one. We hope parents will discard
the old methods of prohibition and en-
deavor to save their sons by q new
plan.
