Il SHALL TELL THE TRUTH

Little James was one day sent with
pitcher for some water. He acci-
dentally dropped the pitcher and
broke it, and as it was very valu-
able one, he felt very bad about it..
As he stood looking sadly at the
broken pieces, another boy came
along and asked what was the mat
ter. James told him, and he said {:
"Well, go home and tell your mother
that a boy threw a stone at you, and
broke the pitcher"
."No, I shall 60 home and tell
mother that I dropped it and broke
it,
"But you will surely get whipped
if you do. She will think you were
careless.
II don't care if I do get whipped
I shall tell the truth. I would rather
take dozen whippings than tell my
mother lie. -
Boys who tell the truth are not the
ones who get the most whippings. II
is the lying, deceiving, sneaking COW
ard who hides thingsy and lies about
them, who comes to be suspected, dis
trusted and finally punished. Put
away lying.-Little Christian.

A BOYS SISTER.

Maud felt a. glow Of pleasure when
Mr.. Wisner, who was rising to go,
told her how greatly he enjoyed the
evenings he passed at her house. 1t
was fattsringly pleasant to know that
her society was found agreeable by
the very interesting young electrical
engineer, who had recently come to
town as manager Of the new trolley
line of which her father was part
owner
II am most domestic person. he
said, "and it's real privilege to me
to be allowed to visit here Informal
ly." He glanced appreciatively at the
pretty pictures, quantities Of books,
and vases Of flowers. ''Do you know,
this attractive room reminds me of
our old library at home, where my
sister and 7 passed some Of the hap
piest evenings of our lives. We used
TO play checkers, read aloud, and have
all sorts Of good times together. l
always feel that I owe a world OF
gratitude to that dear sister Of mine,
who kept me so we'll entertained at
home that I was never tempted to
Join the boys who went down town
every night. There's nothing like a
good sister to keep a lad out Of mis-
chief Is there? I've never had the
pleasure of meeting your brother. he
is out of town now, is he not?'
It was a careless question, asked
with no motive other than polite IN
terest, but it brought the color surg
ing ino Maud's face quite unexpect-
edly.
"Ne, Arthur isn't away. He is out
a good deal. I hope he will be home
the next time you come. "
A moment later, when Maud stood
alone, her cheeks were still burning
and she felt uncomfortable, as If she
had been sharply reproved. She re-
membered with painful clearness the
MANY evenings that Arthur fdgeted
restlessly about the loom while she,
engrossed in novel, had only looked
up long enough to inquire impatiently
why he could not sit still.
"Because," he had replied that
very evening, "it makes a fellow ner-
vous to sit around with nothing to do
ways busy upstairs at his laboratory
work and you with your everlasting
reading, it's a pretty dull house, and
I think I'll 60 out where there's
something doing" He had gone and
Mr.. Wisner had come and had been
.feeted with bright vivacity that
might have surprised Arthur, who
had left his sister too absorbed in her
book to notice his sulky departure.
"I haven't the Least idea where
Arthur went" she said to herself,
drearily. "I never know where ne IS
evenings. Mother wouldn't have
been so neglectful. She would have
kept him happy at home. 1 haven't
done what she would have expected
Of me.'
Her eyes filed with tears as she
thought Of that dear one, who In
wears gone by had filled the home
with the sunshine Of love and har-
mony. g.,
30 mother, forgive me- she said
softly. "I1l try to do better; I'll try

Union had a big kick as to the To-
cation over there, but the Union
Times, I believe it is, says the thing
to do is to forget these differences.
Some wanted it one place and some
another. It would be very difficult
to locate a public building in any
community the size Of Newberry and
please every one. In fact it would be
safe to say that the majority would be
largely with the dissatisfied element.
It is always the case.

pleased can manage to get to it,
wherever the location may be.
4 gentleman Of this city has asked
me if the town ordinance or the rules
of the board of health required water
that had been used in washing clothes
and other slops to be run on the
street where it stands. Really, [ don It
know. I think I had a similar ques-
ton to this asked me once before. l
passed it on to the proper authority,
but have not received an answer.
Maybe this authority does not want
to answer me. Well, I am sure, [
mean no harm in asking the ques-
ton, but really and truly it does not
add to the beauty Of the street nor
to the comfort of those nearby to
have this kind of water dumped into
the street. There is no disputing about
tastes, however, and it may be that
the proper authority thinks it does add
to the beauty Of the street.

I read in a paper the other day
where man bought a cents oyster

worth $3.50. Now if Sam Jones would
Just advertise oyster sandwiches with
pearls worth $50, wouldn't his

be equal to selling ferns from Bush

But then all the sandwiches don't
contain $3.50 pearls.

that is alright, but the duties for

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO.
Their Uncsasins Work Keeps Us Strong
and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys unce every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the
blood. They work night and day.
When healthy they remove about 500
grains OF impure matter daily, when
unhealthy some part Of this impure
matter is left in the blood. This
brings on many dist aseS and symp'
toms-pain in the lack, headache,
nervousness, hot, dry skin, rheuma-
tism, gout, gravel, disorders OF the
eyesight and hearing, dizziness,
irregular heart, debility, drowsness,
