The extent to which the human mind
is capable of deceiying itself with
knowledge of phenomena, the better
to avoid the temporary discomfort of
recognizing the vital truths of prog

MALICIOUS LIES.

Enemies of the president, actuated
by hate because he has done his duty
as chief executive Of the nation, are
industriously circulating the reports
that he is mentally unbalanced and
dissipated to such an extent AZ to I'M
fit him for the exalted position he
occupies. Both of the reports are
false, maliciously false, and are sent
out for the purpose of robbing him of
his popularity with the masses. The
truth is, that the president has a
vigorous mind as many of those who
have "locked horns with him have
found to their discomforture and as
to his being diss,pated, it Is false in
web and woof, the lies of men who
would descend to the level of grave
ghouls to do him injury at the behests
of the money power of the cou ntry.

that the cows had gotten out and she
could not find than. He uttered
some words in criticism of her lack of

and turned away making no answer.
The next evening the cows got out
again and she sought them determined
to bring them home. A storm came
on with the night but she did not
return; she pursued her weary search
in darkness and rain throughout the
night and all the night he sought and
called for her. In the morning she

inside their rude cabin to die, the last
words he ever spoke to her being the
ones "f unkindness. The puem closes
