Philadelphia StartIes Teachers insti-

Pittsburg, Pa.-That an alarming
proportion Of children between the
ages of and 10 years are addicted to
lying, was the statement made by DR.
Earl Barnes of Philadelphia, in an ad.
dress to teachers attending the ALE
gheny County institute. In an address
on ''The Truth-Telling Of Children,
he referred to specific instance in
drawing this conclusion and declared
that the tendency to lie is natural IN
der the natural law of self-preserva-
ton, and that the average child can't
help but lie.
He told his audience that truth tell
ing is not virtue but vice." and
asserted that "the fox that tells he
truth will de-" He then drew paral-
lels to illustrate his statement. He
insisted that animals that tell the
truth surely will die"
Lying in America began with the
Indians he said. land he left progeny
behind him to perpetuate his quail

Dr. Barnes took up business life and
said that on the whole there was
great stability in business as it rests
on mems word. He declared that any
kind of fraud Is due to the force of a
weak nature. and contended that this

TALK ONETQUETTE

Iul In democracy. 1t incites and wins
indulgence. All ambitious persons
ought to be polite, but foolish persons
cannot be. for politeness is a science
requiring an understanding of psy.
chology. An oppUtune compliment
can create precious ally.
During centuries we ridiculed Eng.
lish manners. Now we think we are
following the phlegmatic English fash.
ion, but we are wrong, for in the
meantime England has changed. The
modern Englishman, although he has
true compassion for all not born on
English soil, is always perfectly cour.
teous. Even America is improving in
this respect and only France is de-
teriorating.
There is hope, however, that the
growing interest in sport and athletics
will renew the old-time courtesy. For
does not the fencing room preserve
the tradition Of elegance? The new
generation will remember, perhaps,
that their ancestors risked life for q
smile and that the learned Fontenelle
at the age of 80 picked up fan for a
young girl"

II witnessed a piece of enterprise
which exceeds anything which | ever
saw or heard of. or ever expected to

Il was travelling in the country be-
tween San Francisco and Los Angeles
one day, when l was impressed by the
size of some hogs in pfgpen near the
road. l was especially impressed be-
cause on my previous trips the razor
back quality of the pork had caused
me to comment. This time, however,
the hogs were as big as barrels.
GLOW did you do it?' asked the
farmer, who was bending over the
bars of the pig pen picking his teeth
with piece of straw.
Well, We see it's this here way,
stranger replied the agriculturist.
Them hawgs just clean run the fat all
of of 'emselves diggin' for acorns.
They sort of had competition with
them DANCED woodpeckers who'd COB
Bile up the acorns and store 'em away
in hole in a fence post or rail, and
there wouldn't be anything left for the
hawgs.
az got to th1nkin' the matter over,
and l calculated that it was up to me
to sting them woodpeckers, so I rig
ged up sort of birdhouse and filled
the front of it all full with holes about
the size Of the holes them birds put
their acorns in the fence. Then l
built me long tube leadin' down
from them holes to the feedin'
trough, and bided my time till them
birds got wise to the continuance.
1t didn't take 'em long. Before
little while they was pilin' acorns into
them 'er holes as if they was getting
ten cents an hour, and the acorns was
a-runnin' right down the pipe to the
pigs mouth.
"That's the way I got them pigs
nice and fat, mister. All they have to
do now is. to lay around by the trough
and the birds feeds 'em. Purity good

A Pertinent Commentary,

F. H. Elliott, the secretary of the
American Automobile association, said
at an automobile banquet in New
York:
Il like to see women run their own
cars. / like to see women do all sorts
of things, provided they have had the
proper training and are proficient.
There is no sight more agreeable than
that Of a healthy American girl, riding
her horse, running her motor. driving
her coach, with a skill and grace no
man need be ashamed of.
But smoking and that sort of
thing-oh. no, that doesn't become the
American girl.
"An American girl drew up her tour
ing car at a country inn. She got out
with her friends. She took off her
dust coat and goggles. She opened a
gold cigarette case and put cigarette
between her rosy lips.
"The old country waiter may have
done it unconsciously, but, neverthe-
less, he offered singularly good COM
mentary on girls smoking when he
brought big, foul-smelling contriv-
ance to the pretty automobilist, set it
down at her feet, and said:
"'Spittoon, Miss?'"

The Walking Trip

1t is a delightful way to spend g
weeks vacation.
Particularly If you get this vacation
In the autumn, and are fond of walk
ing.
A few congenial companions are
better than large crowd, where
somebody is sure to tire or to become
dissatisfied.
For those who are planning to take
such a trip, few suggestions may
not come amiss.
On long tramp do not drink a
great deal, particularly heating sweet
or ice cold drinks. Cool water is the
best beverage.
Don't eat heavy meals in the mid
die of the day, unless you are plan
ming to rest afterward. A light break
fast and luncheon may be followed by
a good supper, after the days walk Is
over.
Never start on a walking tour with
new boots. That way sore feet lie
They should be well broken in before
setting out.
Keep a pencil, a knife, and your ad
dress in your pocket. You can never
tell when you will need them.

A Manche Harvest Custom.

An interesting ancient custom is
observed In Manche at the harvest
time. When the work is on the point
of completion a sheaf of honor is
made and decorated with flowers,
which the farmer himself carries in
procession, surrounded by the har-
vesters. Two of the party, under the
pretext of sweeping the way, raise a
cloud of dust. If in the progress the
procession meets a stranger the girls
offer him some corn from a pewter
plate If he accepts and makes them
a small monetary present, the girls
kiss him.
But the principal ceremony is re-
served for the repast, in which curds
occupy prominent place. When this
part of the menu is reached the girls
each choose one Of the young harvest
men and endeavor to force him to
take spoonful. If the attempt is a
success it Is taken as an offer of mar
riage on the mans part.
