SHE TOLD NO WHITE LIES

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
 Once upon a time there was a girl who was just about to enter upon her third season in society. She had had two very successful years, during the first of which she had been feted and wined and dined by every root and branch of her large family connection for the sake of the po- sition she held and in the second for the sake of her own personality, which was made up of gracious manner, an over weening politeness. to every one, and a tact that was almost uncanny in it's powers of sparing the feelings of others and of always saying and doing the right thing at the right time.
 A Stern Resolution.
 On the brink of her third season the girl sat down and took an inventory of her stock in trade Said she:
 q was born a free and unconventional spirit, and l have sold my birthright for mess of popularity. l was born truth ful and l have learned to lie. I used to pride myself being square with the world, and now I couldn't face a bare fact if my life depended upon it. I have conventionalzed myself till there is scarcely an atom of the real Me left. l do the things that the world expects me to do and say the things that the world expects me to say and there is nothing genuine in me. And what have I got out of it all? l am invited by people who bore me to their dull entertainments, where grin and smirk and pretend I am having q good time. l talk to men who haven't half a grain of sense in their heads, and lead them to think that l think they are charming. l am on dress parade all the time whether I feel like it or not, because l know it pays to be called well groomed, and I can literally feel my soul shrinking and my heart whitening under it all; yet l haven't courage or presence of mind enough to put end to it and be simply myself"
 Begins at the Phone.
 The girl pondered for long while, her brow puckered into a dozen little interro- gation points; and finally she rose to her feet with something closely resembling a stamp, and cried vehemently, "I'll do 1t. I'll take truth for my shield and honesty for my buckler, and I'll fight the world with them for my lost individuality
 At which crisis the telephone bell rang violently and a voice at the other end said: "Mafsie dear, you are always SC lovely about helping me with my after moons. is it asking too much of you to come and sing song or two for me to- morrow at 5?"
 Now or never" the girl said to herself | with her teeth clnched, and then an 1 swered aloud: "I am afraid it is, Mrs | Chumley, I hate teas, you know. and tt have the responsibility of their success o

His Hobby Is Transfers.

From the Milwaukee Sentinel.
 Charles B. Stanyon, at the Kirby House. is one of the gTobe-trotters who have one particular bug to satisfy while on their travels. He does not cucumber himself with bulky curios that require duties be- fore one can show them to friends. h. stead, as mementoes of his journeys, he has a collection of street car transfers, or what passes for them, from every im- portant city in the world where street car service is maintained.
 All of the larger American Canadian and European cities are represented. Then there are transfers from street railways of the City of Mexico, Rio Janeiro and Buenos Ayres. A little yellow slip, half in English and half in Japanese comes from Nagasah Japan. The newly in- stalled electric railway in Hongkong China also is represented by a slip print ed in three languages-English, French and Chinese. MT. Stanyon also has trans fers from Melbourne and Sydney, Aus tralia, and Calcutta, India-
 Besides these he has receipts iron tours in and about Alexandria, Cape Town, Havana and other cities.

 Poor MT Johnson wondered more than once what had come over the girl She was blunt to brusqueness.

MEMS SUSPENDERS-
ARE YOU READY?
Active Militant Citizenship Is What
 the Country Demands.

From Everybodys Magazine.
 Of course we cannot compel them to take such an interest in the community if they have no incllnings in that direc- tion; but unless they are willing to bear their share in actual public service they ought to keep very still about corruption and msgovernment And if they will not do their part. at least the rest of us can do ours We shall never get good government by addressing polite assem- blages in Carnegie Hall and the Audito- rum. The only way we can get Is by all good men accepting their full share of the work to be done and doing it on the one basis of service to their times and the community.
 Therefore, the next time a governor or mayor or president has a commission to appoint, let us unite in a petition that the commission serve without salaries; and then let the governor or mayor or presi- dent go to any good citizen and say:
 Citizen, the republic, your mother, has need of you in this position
 And the citizen I don't care who or what he is, will say:

Maine Ghost on Horseback.

From the Lewiston Journal.
 The horsebac ck-riding ghost is the very latest variety that has appeared in Bow doinham, and he is a particular spirit, making visitations only at certain times.
 Tine hunters ghost, they call him, and the big man on the big white horse who comes galloping down the Lisbon road on the full O the moon right up to the side door of Sunny Crest farm, strikes terror to the heart of the farmer folk as he raps smartly with his riding whip on the panels of the door. Whenever one ap- pears in answer to the knock the ghost, so they tell the story, wheels round and disappears at a gallop, turning into the old woods road much used in Revolution ary times by the soldiers of that stormy period.
 Ghost of the old Cap'n, they call him. connecting this horseback riding spook with certain officer of unsavory fame who once haunted the district of Maine 1t is on the hunters moon when the ghost rides abroad, and nervous people on the Lisbon road are much disturbed by this salloping horseman.

Worry.

Orison Swett Warden, in Success Maga-
 zine.
 One who could rid the world of worry would render greater service to the race than all of the inventors and discoverers that ever lived
 We Americans pity poor ignorant say ages who live in terror of their cruel gods, their demons which keep them in abject slavery, but we ourselves are the slaves of demon which blasts our hopes, blights our happiness, casts its hideous shadow across all our happiness, destroys our sleep, mars our health, and keeps Us in misery most of our lives.
 This monster dogs us from the crade to the grave. There is no occasion so sacred but it is there. Unbidden it comes to the wedding and funeral alike. It is at every reception, every banquet; it oc- cupies a seat at every table.
 No human intellect can estimate the unutterable havoc and ruin wrought by worry. It has forced genius to do tho work of mediocrity; it has caused more failures, more broken hearts, more blast ed hopes, than any other one cause since the dawn of the world.
 What have not men done under the pressure of worryl They have plunged into all sorts of vice; they have become drunkards, drug fiends; have sold their very souls in their efforts to escape this monster.
 Think of the homes which it has brok- en up; the ambitions it has ruined; the hopes and prospects it has bighted, Think of the suicide victims of this de- mon If there is any devil in existence is it not worry. with all it's attendant progeny of evils?
 Yet, in spite of all the tragic evils that follow in it's wake a visitor from anoth- CT world would get the impression that worry is one of our dearest, most help full friends. so closely do we hug it to ourselves and so loath are we to part from 1t.

AMERICAN MOTHER
 ROXBURGHE LINE

London, October 31.-The birth of an heir to Lord and Lady Alastair 1nnes-ker has resulted in society extending its sub tie commiseration to the Duke and Ouch ess of Roxburghe. Lord Innes-Ker is brother and-in the absence of son to the Roxburghes-heir to the rucal estates and titles
 Since the marriage of May Goelet to the Duke in 1902 no nursery has been in- stalled in the Roxburghe Castle and it is now the gossip of society that the Ameri- can Duchess practically despairs of ever providing an heir to the title.
 Already Lady Innes-ker, who was for merly Miss Eloise Breese, of New York, is being pointed to as the mother of the future line of Dukes of Roxburghe.

FEDERAL JURY SAYS GUILTY

Alleged Brokers Convicted of Con-
spracy at Minneapolis.
The jury found a verdict of guilty
in the case of the United States
against Herbert F. Robinson. J. L..
Layne and F. E. Holiday, tried be-
fore Judge Morris in the federal dis
triot court at Minneapolis on an in
dictment charging conspiracy. The
jury was in consultation for about an
hour and half.
The defendants operated what pur-
ported to be grain brokerage bust
ness in an Office in the Guaranty Loan
building in the year 1905. The fed
era1 authorities are of the opinion
that the defendants secured from $751;
900 to 100000 through their exploits
by means of circular letters sent out
broadcast through the mails with the
information that they had inside and
exclusive information on the grain
markets and would, therefore, pay
large returns on money given them
for investment.
