LYING.

do believe Ananias ard Sapphire
were really struck dead for lying?" Oh,
yes, surely do. 1t is not an uncom-
mon method of suicide to this day. /
know men who have killed themselves
simply by lying. Killed their credit at
bank and store so dead it would take
years to resurrect it, and then they d
have to go to new town, where no one
knew them, to accomplish the miracle.
Killed their standing in the commu-
nifty; killed the value of their tesUi-
mony even under oath; killed their
commonplace statements about the
most commonplace facts; killed their
reputation for veracity under any cir
cumstances. And when that is done,
the man takes up his abode among the
dead. The town liar" stands for alb
solutely nothing in the community. An
established and recognized habit of
lying kills all Of mans good qualities.
Kills them by poison. As dry rot eats
the heart out OF q great, strengthening
oak timber. And the saddest thing
about it is, the man doesn't know he's
dead for 80 long after the neighbors
have buried him.
The dear, sweet, white Truth What
q tower of strength and a stronghold of
comfort truthful man or woman is to
community-one whom you can abb
solutely trust, always, under all cir
cumstances When the time comes
that we can absolutely trust each other,
with no fear of evasion, trickery, or
double meaning, we shall know that the
millennium has been here for several
years. Robert J. Burdette, D. D., in
Sunday School Times.

OLDEST GOOSE. AGE se.

Flint, Mich. August 6.-This
isn't the goose that laid the golden
egg, but it's the oldest goose in the
United States, according to it's
owner, Mrs. A. G. Johnson, of this
city.
"The goose is SO years old and
more" says Mrs. johnson, in re-
lating the story of her feathered
pet. Zone morning in April, 1878,
when l went out in the yard, [
found young gosling half buried
III the snow. Evidently the bird
was one of q flock of wild geese fly
ing overhead, and during the night
had become tired and worn out,
dropping to the ground. Ipicked
him up, took him into the house,
fed him, and ever since then he
has remained with me. Igave him
the name of Baby"
The old goose is known to every
child in the neighborhood. He
will follow his mistress about the
streets whenever she will allow him
to do so, and is pet of many peo-
pie.

THE PRODIGAL'S RETURN.

A husband and wife ran freak

and the exhibits were equally di-
vided between them, says Pear

tinue business as an exhibitor at
the old address, but the husband
went on q tour.
After some years wandering the
prodigal returned, and a reconcile
alton took place, as the result of
which they became business part
ners once more.
A few mornings afterwards the
people of the neighborhood were
scot into fits of laughter ON read
ing the following notice in the pa
pers:

manently increased"

GEORGIA LANDS.

The cheap lands are here in
Georgia, and i'll addition a coun-
try already settled, producing
more wealth than any other Sec
ton, and requiring none of the
hardships Incidental to new coun.
tries. And besides this the climate
is such that it is not only health
full and pleasant, but makes living
cheap and allows the growing of
continuous crops the entire year.
Under such conditions il cannot
be otherwise than that an indus
trious man, carefully outstanding
his resources and making the best
possible use Of them, make rapid
Roadway in accommodating wealth
Taking man without means
whatever he can easily secure work
at good wages. With the saving
of these wages for one or at most
two years he can operate u rented
farm, and after that it is only a
question of choice with him when
he shall become his own landlord.
There are numerous instances here
of men making a net profit on one
years crops sufficiently large to
pay for the farm on which they
were made; and what one man has
done another can also do if he ap-
plies the same industry and intel
ligent planning.-Augusta Herald.

A RIGHTLY KEPT SABBATH.

A Sabbath we'll kept is worth
more to man than any invention
or discovery man ever made. And
the better it is kept the more it is
worth. A rightly kept Sabbath is
more than the unconscious ma
chinery that man invents. And
the better man can make still
grander discoveries. A so-called
Sabbath that does not make man
hood better Is not Sabbath, but
holiday. A Sabbath desecrated
by rowdyism and pleasure seeking,
or the slavery of servile work, is a
curse and not blessing; it is not
Gods invention. The working
man needs rest, soul improvement,
not debauchery and degradation.

The state of Georgia faces the
proposition, that it is necessary to
provide at least 100000 per an
mum additional to take care of the
Confederate pension roll in this
state. This comes about through
the passage of the Foster amend
ment to the state constitution, au-
thorizing the payment of a service
pension.

The Nashville American says
Jerome maintained that Thaw
was sane and prosecuted him for
murder. Now he insists that the
prisoner is a dangerous lunatic,
whose incarceration would be for
the good of socisty. The defense
is equally inconsistent. Counsel
insisted that the defendant was a
congenital idiot, and, having
proven him such, they turn around
and claim that there was nothing
tie matter with BIN except the
indictment to which he was an.
swering."

Last year $50, 900, 900 was spent
by the railroads of the United
States for cross ties. The average
price of the ties was so cents each.
Only six per cent. of the ties were
used by electric railroads. Forty
three per cent. of she ties were of
oak, and nineteen per cent. of ye.-
low pine. Owing to the growing
scarcity of suitable timber, ether
woods are being used after treat
ment with various preeervatives
and it has been found that these
treated woods outlast the more ex-
pensiye untreated oak ties.

Bookmakers' Chances.

Layers of odds at the race track are prone to circulate tales of their enor- nous losses upon certain races, but it is seldom that loss on a run may be shown, for it has been figured by ex- perts that a skillful layer makes book showing a percentage of % in his favor, by Which he is bound to retain at least one-fourth of his talk fngs. Large losses happen occasion ally when an unexpected victory pays 40 or 50 to l, but. as, a general thing. unless the bookmaker deliber- ately gambles with chance he makes books" so that he will show a profit on each race. A skillful bookie can so manipulate the odds that at no point does he stand to lose on a race, and, like his brother of the gambling house, his IGofit lies in this perclltage in his favor. Even where gambling games are run without recourse to fraud the odds In favor of the dealer are never less than 20 per cent.
